But for the new Inspira 1.8M (2015), what do you think of the 60% local content? The 60% local contents parts bagus tak? Quality ok or not? I don't wanna visit service center like everyday ~!!!
Also, how is the assembly quality for Inspira?

Hi guys - need your help urgently - looking to buy Inspira 1.8M (Executive).

Currently, there is a massive discount for Inspira 1.8M (Executive) 2015 models - which come with 3 years warranty priced at about RM62K.

However, in www.carlist.my, there is another Inspira 1.8M (2010 model Executive) - - albeit 2nd hand - priced at about RM40K.

A few questions???
(1): Which one is more worth it? Inspira 2015 vs. 2010? Price delta is about RM20K.
Before you guys shoot me down, i was informed that Inspira 2010 has about 27% local content whilst the Inspira 2015 has more than 60% local content.
Which one is more worth it? Not to forget Inspira 2015 comes with a 3 years warranty. But 60% local content makes me feel worried.

(2): What is the maintenance costs for Inspira (on average)? all the while - i just drive an old Wira - maintenance cost is not more than RM1K per year. However, this car is already damn old - more than 20 years (Wira 1995 - carburettor) and selling price is just RM2K.

(3): Purpose of this car - is just to drive to work and come back home and probably outstation trip once in a blue moon. Not used for Ah Beng vroom vroom - i am just looking for a reliable ride which can easily last for 10 years plus.

Hence, maybe Inspira is just an overkill? Should i hunt for Waja CPS Manual 2008 second hand? Selling for RM20K?

Please don't suggest Vios or City because first - these are expensive and second - i am 6 feet tall and very well build. Hence, it is kind of pathetic having to squeeze into a Vios/ City.
By the way - Jetta is having a promotion at RM88,888 - but dare not touch it due to DSG and Gearbox issue.

Thanks all sifus...
Now about the routine servicing and maintenance part, for my Wira, I just throw it at any foreman (outside of Proton). They know straightaway how to fix it.

For this Inspira , after the warranty period, what are the alternatives other than going back to Proton service Center ? I am hoping that my regular Ah Beng Ah Kau mechanic will know how to fix it.

What do you guys think ? I am looking at cheap cost of ownership...

hahaha

1. Its not a cheap car to maintain unlike wira.
2. Get the 2015 car with warranty. Old 2010 unit  you do not know the history and may end up repairing it more. Hefty cost upfront. However check the year of manufacture of the new car. It may not be 2015. Production stopped a while ago. It was only interim model until Preve was launched.
3. There is no 60% content. Been almost the same since day1 except for omission of light leveller wiring and steering wheel leather different after 2011. Some components already localised since 2010.

Thanks bro.
When it is mentioned as not cheap to maintain, how much is the budget per year?
Any price indication?

If driveshaft kaput, 1500 per side

guys,
According to the salesman, Inspira year of manufacture is 2014. All this while (for close to 2 years), the car is sitting in wide open space - exposed to the elements - instead of sitting in the warehouse. From your experience, what will happen to the car? Exposed to the element? More wear and tear?

Price wise is RM60K - for 2014 manufactured car.

2014 - 2 years old
tire .. quite confirm GG .
but heck .. 20k cheaper ..

i would buy a vios ..
