Thanks for the insight. But first time buy used car. How do i check with SC?  Just give the license plate number ?

thanks zenix. indeed, i checked the volvo thread here in FnF and noticed that the price of the wiper is 400-ish. crazy figure. guess i need to look for something else then. too expensive to maintain.

now i need to look for something else below 80k that is good enough in terms of long distance travel and comfy. saw a 2014 fluence at 56k, but need a few more options for the sake of comparison.

my bad, its 269 for the xc60. i believe its the wiper only, as theirs are not the typical hook type wiper.

well its way out of my reach. need to stick with a japanese cars instead.

Does year of the car refer to manufacturing year or registered year? My car is 2012 car registered 2013

Hi! I want to buy a used car. I would very much like to be sure that this is not dangerous.I was advised this site https://autoportal.com/usedcars/ . Has anyone heard anything about this resource? I hope that it is really a reliable place, Had you any axperience with it or maybe heard something?

was buying a used car is high risk ?? 

i went to car dealer near bangi area last weekend , those used car are really look like nice and very nice , definitely doesn't look like got problem even after test drive ,

but for the price is selling is almost half price for a new car  , i worry after i buy it , i need to spent a lot to repair in future .

  how do i ensure the car is never meet car accident before or never repair from any workshop ? any better way to further check the used car ??

i believe all kind of used car is not good as well that is the reason they are selling it off .

However , i am thinking what car i should buy for around 40k cash 

Is there a trusted car inspection service that I can book in Johor? I checked motortrader and saw that they just service Klang Valley.

hi guys, abit out of topic....how should we know whether the used car is accident-free ?

Previously there were forummer mentioned to hire the foreman to inspect, but which foreman in KL that provide this kind of services as well as trust-able?

   

Then assuming is re-con car like Vellfire, Alphard etc.....I can seek the dealer to bring it to Toyota centre to get it inspected?

Can somebody enlighten me why does the Passat (2011-2014) models depreciate so quickly?
A 2012 model can go as low as 37k which is less than a quarter of its original price given that it is only 6 years old. Compared to a 2006 Honda Civic 1.8 which is around 30k and they were both in a different segments and totally different era even.

I know a friend who owns the Passat and he had made dozen of various warranty claims but he is still driving it till today.

Planning to getting a 2012/2013 Kia Optima.....Any pros and cons reviews on this cars? Like maintenance cost...fuel consumption, repairing cost on spare parts and ETC?

Thanks in advanced! =]

1. Brand : Hyundai Santa Fe 2012

5. Transmission : auto
6. NA or FI :  -
7. Type : 7 seater
8. Remarks :

(a) Saw lot of comments from outside or even here saying that it is not a good buy due to weak resell value etc.
- This wont be my concern as I dont think I will resell it

(b) Reason of choosing this car
- Super SUV with 7 seater = NICE
- Leather seat
- Build in reverse camera
- Push start

- power enough which able to move such big size car (those who drove Starex before might understand this wow feeling)
- other necessary feature
* Yes I know these spec and feature are common nowadays but trust me u cant get all these in 45k budget

(c ) Saw there are few model of this Santa fe 2012 which having different engine, some with turbo or some is using diesel.. Appreciate if any santa fe researcher can suggest which one is better and why.

Thanks for the recommendation. My concern for used/recond car is the spare part availability.

Thanks for the suggestion but I prefer mpv since my kids are 8 n 4 yrs old..
Easier for them to go up and down by themself.
