My aim :
1. S660 - pray hard someone selling it cos "not enough power" when the time comes
2. GT86 - Most logical
3. MX-5 - old ones
4. S2000
5. MPS - if family too big
6. CR-Z - most affordable

BMW 1 series, Renault Megane, Golf GTI, Ford Focus a bit challenging to maintain, maybe Lotus Elise for non-jap car. This forum quite good in talking about 2nd hand cars, like adopting an old dog that nobody wants.

Write down this list:

Bearings (all)
Absorbers 4pcs
Mountings (all)
Bushings (all)
Lower arm (both sides)
Aircond compressor
Radiator top half

Go to any spare parts shop nearby and ask for a quote.
If it is within your means, then buy.
Cause those are the usual suspects of stuff that needs replacement that might make the original owners sell off their car, and things used cars usually need replacing.

GTI is a good bet.
It wasn't well received in europe so it is kinda cheap everywhere as well especially to clear stock.
Engine is common so not an issue to find parts for it.
Body panels exactly same as the boring version.
Not really, there is a difference but maybe not as vast as say a regular Civic vs Civic TypeR.

more like adopting a military dog who's trained and powerful enough to protect me if shit happens than going to the pet store buy a "new" "cute" "puppy" for RM900 which usually means either mix breed or pedigree shih tzu, jack russel terriers and pekineses.....ugly small full of health problems useless small noisy shit

u added 7. Copen

Most likely will stick to GT86 instead of BRZ, not a big fan of tebu, prefer soya car. Nowadays nobody wanna get manual, talk nia a lot. CR-Z really just for daily drive is practical, easy to park etc, like Sera. S2000 near impossible to get in Malaysia, most likely will suffer same fate like NSX kena import out. yeah true about MPS, maybe take out from wishlist. Notice S660 is always "pre-order", so if really want can pre-order a manual version, kinda like kelisa engine with tebu.

Military dog wan, sometimes bite owner

GT86 = BRZ.
mana ada tebu.
to me both pandan car.
Subaru derived cars no turbo no AWD reli weird.
Good S2000 and NSX all in collector hands now, can't even see any Supra's for sale anymore.
Few years back can get for 60k, nowadays cannot.
S660 won't be cheap, I wouldn't bother.

Bite owner?
Just like a misbehaving clutch during the wrong time during a drift?

ehh i LOOVE manuals .... i actually hunted around for quite a while to find a manual car (heck i paid more for that). though admittedly, they aint as fast as the fancier autos. Heck seeing where cvt's are headed... i better start getting used to being the slowest shifting thing on the road.

**oh ya GT86, BRZ almost the same thing, wearing dif clothes

that gif pains me.
And yeah i agree.... scoobies with no siputs.... i cannot accept. (have heard that the FA has potential... though im a very old fashion guy... still likes 4g63's and its steel closed decked goodness)

sorry noob question, actually where to find all these price list? For parts? Do they even release them online?

sometimes ppl upload em, example, i have the saga flx's part price list somewhere.... other times go sc and mintak or ask... actually not sure if they are allowed to show you, but have asked proton before and they just showed it to me... its a a few sheets of paper with a loooooooooong table on it, thats all....

but one thing you should keep in mind.... sc prices are imo cutthroat prices ... like zenix suggested you can ask the spare part shops... (though sometimes i have problems with these guys ==" unless im buying they duwan to tell me~~)

nevermind, magnum powerball jackpot currently at 7 million, give me erm 4 digit + 2 digit + 2 digit i go buy tomorrow, then can liao buy S660. buy u one as well k
yea, manual ftw! RPM matching is good for both cars and bike, and mine both manual

Need some advice please..

Want to use for Grab Car.. preferably city and persona owners to comment.. thanks..

Options:
1. Honda city E spec 2016 = 66k Loan 70k... (secondhand on feb 2016) (warranty after feb still got 4 years with unlimited milleage)
2 .Persona 2016 Exec = 55k.... (New.. 3 years warranty.. or 150k km im not sure.. )

Scoobies without AWD + Turbo = cannot accept.
XV already using a crippled WRX engine.
Forester lowspec no AWD.
Haih!

Got people added turbo to BRZ and the handling dynamics all went out the door.

online prices are usually more expensive.
service center prices are even more expensive, lol.
just take the list i've written above.
go to some part shop....because for survey purpose go to some shop far away which you might not buy from him if shit hits the fan.....pretend noob as the prices how much....after he give u....pretend it's very expensive then say no money need to ask parents....then run away

judi itu haram

You're talking about the new persona or "clear stock old persona"?
Are you already doing GC biz?
My suggestion to lower your commitment, get the old persona which is cheaper to buy and also would have better parts support.

not yet GC.. yeah im talking about the new 2016 persona and city.. also like a family car for me.. and hmm..

if u got a family car that can qualify.
try out GC business first.
see if it is for u.
don't buy a car for it then if it doesn't work out.
u still gotta pay the loan.

ShinichixZ this....

eh dont scare leh.. why oo.. can give some feed back u know? planning to full time it and take this car.. pay it.. @@"

well... its more about how you are about to commit to something you dont truly know that you 100% would want and enjoy doing...

what happens if you buy the car then 6 months down the road cannot tahan doing this job anymore? what happens at that point?? you would have no job (assuming no backup job) and a big fat loan to pay

ohh no problem... i have the will of fire.. and my backup job is welding inspector.. no worries i think i can manage.. i tot got some grab scam or something.. scare me as shit lololol

get a cheaper runabout to do it.
you use axia or bmw still same rates.

okok

if its a car you were considering to get in the first place for your own personal use... id say thats fine, go right on ahead.. but specifically for gc? seems like a dangerous game...
