hi guys,
my blm 1.3 send to mechanic, say need to change head gasket. i saw the pricing mechanic quote around 300-400+ for the ori part alone. is this ok price? i check online it i see 100-200+ only. Is it normal for them to charge this kind of mark up price rate for the parts? |

Daisy has them but its model designation is quite different to what's used in Malaysia, Daisy isn't even marketed as a Saga but as a S16, I prefer Saga and must buy her a Saga badge sometime.Simple question..

It's gr8 2see yu agin!! Ya lo... We get the worst of our very own Msian car & even paying a high price 4it!! My relatives down under asked me @time me got my FL how much me paid 4it... And guess wat? He told me the S16 was only AUD 16k there!! And that was CBU plus all those features we dun get here!! And...conversion rate was then only <RM3 to AUD 1...   There was a time when citizens were angry why Msians were "subsidising" own built cars 4sale overseas?  For attention of Bro wankel... This post has been edited by zeone: Jul 17 2016, 09:01 PM |

Daisy cost me AU$12.990 drive away with 6 months rego, no extra costs, what was also lovely was a dealership that put no pressure on me for useless extras which sadly many do. Wow! It's gr8 2see yu agin!! Ya lo... We get the worst of our very own Msian car & even paying a high price 4it!! My relatives down under asked me @time me got my FL how much me paid 4it... And guess wat?

What's nice is it never feels like it's the cheapest car on the road. Daisy even has leather seats. |

Just a few points behind the Honda Jazz. Even Child Occupant Protection is way ahead of Proton. Perodua may have just succeeded with its first-ever sedan. |

Plus Daisy would have been road freighted further as well, at least 1300 km if it landed in Brisbane or much further if it landed as is quite likely at a more southern port.And with ONLY FABRIC SEATS!! And yu had yrs shipped thousandsof Km overseas...mine was transported locally a few hundred Km only!! I like the reversing sensor too, it only intrudes if there's an issue. Nice of Malaysia to send such nice models to our market, a real shame in many ways that they've been unwanted, and sadly a lot of that can be put down to prejudice or fear of anything non-mainstream, meanwhile I have to read about issues that the "better" brands have all the time whilst continuing to have a reliable Daisy. |
