I'm getting a clearer picture now.
I think you've been here to ask this before.
And I thought you're going to repair and keep the Vios.
Although repairs are cash it would only hurt for that short period once it is sorted you practically have a free car.
Vios is built pretty well so unless there is something horrifically wrong with it RM1000-20000 should be able to sort it out.
2007 Skoda Superb 2.8 V6 - a little known and underappreciated car. It is from the same stable as Volkswagen and Audi but the runt of the lot is made in Czechoslovakia not Germany. Technology and specs is the same as the German counter parts which is why eventhough it is a dead brand in Malaysia you don't have to worry about parts because you can either use VW/Audi parts (the SC is going to charge and arm and a leg though) or Dunia Prestasi Auto (Berjaya) which is the official importer/distributor for Skoda before they stopped the brand but the company is still around but they're handling other brands now. You also have the option to get things done at Singapore they've better equipped SC there, and finally if you're savvy enough you can get the contacts from Skoda Club members to get things done I know one shop in Jalan Ipoh that carries Skoda parts and also they have links to websites overseas to bring in parts cheap. If the 2800cc roadtax is too much for you then you may consider the 2005 Skoda Superb 1.8 Turbo which is the same car pre-facelift but otherwise the size, quality and safety aspects are the same. The 1800cc turbo is lifted from the same stable as the older VW Passat and Audi A6, which is a TFSI 1800cc turbo engine mated to a 6 speed automatic slush box (not DSG don't worry about DSG failure coz at this point in time DSG still under R&D).
2011 Nissan Latio Sedan 1.6 - read my reply below.
Refer to below.
RM500/month * 7 years + RM5000 downpayment = RM40,000 budget not RM50,000.
From the revised budget you should be able to buy the lower spec Bezza.
From what I know you're not losing much of the safety features mostly accessories, and only the range topper advance gets the ESC.

2011 Nissan Latio Sedan 1.6 - you should consider the Nissan Latio over City/Vios because those are high RV cars so you've to pay more for younger cars or to keep it within budget you've to settle for older ones, this particular advert is for a 2011 car (5 years on is still quite okay). In terms of technology it is quite basic like the Vios the engine and gearbox are standard types with nothing fancy to go wrong so it is easier and cheaper to maintain. It should be slightly cheaper to maintain than City because regular gear oil is cheaper than CVT oil. As for space the Latio is a C-segment (or jumbo B-segment if you will) so it gives you more space than Vios/City driving around will be more comfortable for you and passengers.

2013 Nissan X-Gear 1.6 - although it is not a sedan I thought I show you this as it is a very underappreciated car from Nissan thus even for a quite new car it depreciate like a rock but it is actually a pretty good car. It uses the same engine and gearbox as Latio/Livina. Space wise it is bigger than Latio, it is a full size C-segment crossover/wagon. I think for your budget this is a good deal.

btw, my current ride is Honda IDSI yr2003 and mileage clock in approaching to 250k . No major accident, no major repairs...just recently this year spent quite a fortune to fix the front absorber, radiator, aircon compressor. Quite  moneyflies.gif moneyflies.gifmoneyflies.gif...

Not sure whether to remain the current ride or change to affordable car within 50k budget. I expecting another 30k value lost in the next 5 years if I change to new ride. dilemma  doh.gif  doh.gif  doh.gif

Back to used car selection, how about mazda 2/3 (previous generation) ??

Kimchi car, I don't think I will go for it as parent had bad experience with the car repair & poor resales value.

I know that feel... Cooling coil, labour etc etc.

haha... But if I were you, I won't opt for used car. Might as well maintained the current ride. Because you wil never know the history of the car....

Mazda2 - there are a few scam types, but the most common one is advertising a car way below market value (in the case of this Mazda2 it is too young to be that price) then when you arrive at the used car dealer he will give 101 excuses why the car isn't available anymore from just sold to booked already, you won't even get to see the car. Reposes units are "kereta tarik" someone bought the car then couldn't afford to pay monthly to the bank so after a 3 months the bank will take back the car.

VW Vento/Polo - The Vios of Germany, maintenance shouldn't be astronomical but good interior and handling for such a range. Do consider.

Kizashi - LOL! okay.  devil.gif

Guys. Any input about VW Vento?

Highline uses DSG.

But comfort line uses 6 speed tiptronic.

Is the gb only problem for vw or any other part?

Ok guys. Thanks for the info.

Went to test drive VW Vento, both 1.6MPI and 1.2TSI.
Not really keen on 1.6 MPI as I felt it's underpowered than my stock waja. No offense.
Surprisingly the 1.2tsi could satisfy me, but with a price of 80k after rebate.

Otherthan resale value, any cons of 1.2 TSI?
And other option for budget of 80k?
*
Wait, the Vento you tried is 1.6?? Which line? Trend or comfort?

Maybank have special promotion for this vento. Free for the rest of 2016, but T and C.

How is it feel, compared to other b seg car? Really underpowered?

But the TSI is DSG.... Main problem I guess.

they having huge rebate iinm. up to 8k rite?

Tried Highline and Comfortline. It's subjective regarding engine power, for 1.6MPI it takes 6-7 sec to reach 100km/h with almost full throttle, hardly test for further speed due to route.
The difference between Comfort and Trend is just number of airbags and some interior design.

For 1.2 TSI, no doubt about the pick up speed and some safety features.

Yeah, either you take free installment until next year with down payment or cash rebate up to 10k. Depends on your SA.

wow that's a lot for comfort line.

yes, but really depends on the banker.
Well, now is an exciting time for people like you.
You can go with the obvious choice of Axia, or consider Bezza from Perodua.
Proton should be reacting with their new Saga and Persona soon as well.
Couple all this together there would be big discounts for the current Saga SV.
search for "unreg"
yeah we can never be 100% certain but here are a few tips:

1. service record based on the original manual and service booklet.
2. the car behavior during test drive.....engine/gearbox/handling.
3. interior condition.

Nope. Its online review. Nice site I would say.

HI sifu.

I know its a bit OT. But this is the place where all sifu gathered. haha.

Currently Vios NCP 42, realize one of the rim bengkok abit, really abit only during balancing process. But after done the alignment, the handling still good at 130km/hr. So until now I don't bother...

Till that during one traffic jam, got one fella duno is sleeping or playing phone, bang to rear, my rear bumper on the right hand side drop around 2 cm, with no external damage, but internal part (below brake light) break already, and the bracket also break already. And eventually the bumper also paint come out abit. Lastly able to fix it by forcely pull up by hand not machine. But left a 1cm gap just below the right break light.

I planning to change the rear bumper at SC because have to go SC to replace the airbag.

Since going to SC, I just want to ask regarding the rim.... Is anyone here change their rim at SC before. I mean, I wish to buy rim at SC and ask them to fix for me too. If yes, do I need to know what to worry? Because I am afraid that the nut placing isn't same? Like NCP 150 have diff length between to nuts compared to NCM 42? ( PCD ) But I am wondering is it ok to remove tyre from old rim and into the new rim? Will it affect the quality of the tyre?

Thanks.

Thanks for the fast reply.

Yea, its PCD, just checked. If PCD isn't match it wont go in right.
Yea, my tyre is new and in good condition. I suspect it was done by my sis years ago. Now only I realize. Many things baru realize, bumper bracket break. From bumper got ketuk before. @@
I know the CS will charged exp. But I don't like after market... The design not nice. And what do you mean by OEM market? I quite don't understand...

oem as in truelly original stuff..... your original rims are oemlah (this is using the term oem correctly, unlike how these chinaman ripoffs tell you their real cheap china made stuff is oem)
so what i meant by that is, find a set of used original rims.... those rims are heavy and are worth next to nothing. you will probably get the set of four for the price of one in the sc.

pcd salah, 100% cannot masuk.i mean, the studs wont go though....
personally still feel that you should look for rims elsewhere...... sc gona chop you big time *go to mudah and cari*
personally would go cari a set of aftermarket rimslah, long as not ahbeng ahbeng type, its alright...... me still waiting for my tires to die before changing rims.... current rims impractical and are silly....
*
Haven't ask sc yet. But sure will cost a lot. But still will ask my regular shops as well see they can get me a new set of vios rims... I like my current rims so much. But got a bit bit bengkok and a lot calar.... Women driver. Very kanasai.

I think the oem supplier haven't got the GX rim yet....

I hope won't diff alot la the sc... I ask the bumper price. Diff between sc and mudguard is 200 only. Hope rim also same la


What's ur ride. Why silly and impractical. Lol stock?
