I would definitely buy a used higher end model rather than a new entry model. You get better/nicer parts. It is only a bicycle, so don't worry if it is a few years old. Make sure the frame is not damage, hinges ok, and everything else is adjustable.
You buy a entry model, then upgrade, you will definitely over-spend and definitely lose money.
final deal done @ 1k. thx sifu for advice, think I m going to like it, even this one actually for my princess...

OK the lady obviously did not look after the bike too well. I would give it a good clean and polish and good oiling. Looks like it has been left outdoors? Check if gear changes smoothly as the cables may have stretched and the RD is a bit rusted. Are the rims running true and brakes OK? If she hadn't used it much, the folding clamps should be tight. Just check.
Can someone please recommend a good bike shop in Penang? I'm heading over there soon, and I want to see if I can get some parts there. I know there's a new Brompton shop, what about other foldies?

Luckily all clamps, gears, brakes working fine.
I only own single gear bike so dun know how to describe whether gear shift smooth or not.
I used IPA cleaned up stain on body but having tough time remove those tiny black dot on rear wheel, any suggestion?

Strange, I would have thought the 20" would be more popular. I know there is a Dahon Classic club somewhere and they have pretty nicely done up bikes. Looks nice but in its original form may not ride that well.

This bike has no provision for mudguards or rack so that alone will put some people off. The existing rear guard looks weird. I still like my foldy in steel or titanium and 9kg is not light for a carbon one don't you think?

dont know why, but the 16" dahon iii or da bike are a bit more popular here in malaysia. and the price are going up depends on condition.
i think maybe the dahon classic owner may have few folding bike that is 20" sized.
You still need a cassette opening tool. The one shown is just to hold the cassette. And also you need a spanner wide enough to unlock the cassette opener.
