Hello all, looking for some opinion on used C segment sedan USED car.
1. Brand - Anything other than P1&P2 that easy to maintainence, cheap maintainence. (RV not an issue)
2. Budget - About RM 40k ish
3. New / Used - Used
4. Model - C segment, newer the better, as long cheap maintainence
5. Transmission - Auto
6. NA or FI: no problem as long cheap maintenance
7. Type - Sedan
8. Remarks - C segment with moderate comfort and safety, moderate FC (if better ofc good) and CC maximum 1.8
Is kimchi cars is Elantra and Cerato are easy, cheap to maintain nowadays?
Yes, Japanese cars are reliable, easy to maintain, but since I dont care about RV, maybe I can get newer Kimchi car with that budget.
But if kimchi cars are totally unreliable and expensive to maintain, I will avoid.
Even if you find a good used car from close friend or relative, the maintenance will always be higher than a new model.
So you need to consider the total ownership cost over 5 years. Roughly buy & yearly maintenance (excl fuel, tyres)
Elantra 2016 45K & 3Kx5 = 60K (may be higher)
Persona 2023 45K & 1Kx5 = 50K (assured under warranty)
RV not discussed. Excl new S50 sedan no price yet
Please check if there is a lot of difference in comfort & safety to consider the higher risk of used car at this segment/ price range.
