Hm, Thanks for the input. The rest of the internet seems to hold the same view.

Well my Kancil, I have been using for years now, and because its old, it keeps getting issues.
Currently, it has issues with drive shaft, ball bearings (all), carburetor, engine too (a prev mechanic said that the engine is kinda really gone, so needs full servicing and replacement of stuff which would cost 1200 for the engne thingy alone), aircon compressor gone (needs replacement which will also cost around 1k++), engine oil finishes pretty quickly compared to before, etc. These are the major major problems. I am sure there are some minor ones too.

So you see, fixing these itself could go around 3-3.5k, and at the end of it all, I still have a 660cc car with no power steering, no proper music system, really old lookin exterior, not such a good interior, etc.


So which is why I was looking into a cheaper car, like 5k, so that if I spend 5k, might as well get something newer, better?

Actually I have gotten loans approved, but not for high amounts, which makes my downpayment very painful. So the basic idea is to collect money for a bigger downpayment in the near future, meanwhile use a car that is cheap and ok.

I was also thinking on the lines that, perhaps if the Naza is really that bad, maybe I should just overhaul my kancil afterall, since no other option. Maybe I should check prices with my mechanic to see how much it might cost n all..

Hm.. yeah ur right there as well.. haha.. so then im back to square one.
You see why I am all confused and all?

I have asked this as a separate forum topic too. Perhaps some others might know..

Thanks for the advice bro.

Yes my financial record is clean, but I am a foreigner, so getting loans for me is super complex, and nearly impossible to get loan which I want.
My Kancil is so old and has problems, it might fetch me just 1.5k haha, so not even enough for d/p.

I am not looking into the sutera anymore. Too many bad reviews.

I am researching getting second hand cheaper cars now, which allow for loan, but are also good, and I can afford d/p one. My current choices of research are:

1. Proton Gen2 (2007 model) [coz auto, 1.6 and under 10k]
2. Proton Saga (2005 model) [1.3, manual]
3. Proton Waja (2006 model) [1.6, auto]


Any ideas or verdict on these?
