RM650 per rim? WTF...

I bhot used ori 16" SSR rim 4 piece only RM800...
SC is sure ridiculous

Go repair here Wah Seng Autoparts RM 20 each rim to repair, but u need to separate the tyre 1st.

Location is at setapak

official sc... sure kene scalplah..... i mean, isnt everything expensive there?? added on stuff like body kit can go up to 10k.... then they can advertise, "pomo 15k discount" (discount as in free bodykit, rims and maybe one or 2 other minor differences)

I dun like used. I also got offer ori Toyota 15' trd 600. Dun wan used. Got calar here and there sommore

u can find nice ones punya.... otherwise just get a set of taiwan rimslah... long as within spec, no real downside (not like its so fragile that a minor bump cracks it, you are not thinking of super low profiles anyway)

hi guys i saw some listing in carlist, 2008 porsche cayman is just 170,000RM

do you think its a nice deal? considering its old will the insurance or road tax be expensive?
*
1)prices are around that figure... maybe abit cheaper.....
2) google is there... you can calculate how much the insurance and roadtax will cost u....
there was a quote by someone here.... cant remember who, it goes: "if you have to ask, you cannot afford it"

IMHO, nowadays people only go SC to 'protect' their warranty
Therefore SC will squeeze money until the warranty end.  biggrin.gif

yep.. my dad too, only sent the car to the sc while it was under warranty so that there are no issues, once that was over.... buat sendiri or pergi to a kedai kat luar dah....

No worry guys. Haha. I finding outside. If my mechanic able to find new ori Toyota and at a reasonable price only I consider. Or else repair or just let it. Seems minor.

It sparks my interest before the current gen rim looking good to me 😊

i showed you tadi kan hehe, current gen ones 600 or so... i dont even think thats considered very cheap....
good thing bout newer rims is that they are probably pretty new, some ppl, 1st day ownership, kasut dah tukar.

chill man, it has nothing to do with who can afford one... im just asking because i want to know how the system works...

im also curious if it's consider cheap why wont people buy the used porsche instead of getting a new car toyota which at the same price range.
*
haha nono not meaning to offend you, i just reallly realllly like that quote laugh.gif

well.... why a toyota rather than a porsche at that price....
i)roadtax @ insurance is only one thing
ii)maintanance, this is no ordinary german marque, a vw sc is already alot more expensive than visiting a toyota sc. Imagine visiting a porsche sc, its like entering an upscale store. servicing a car like this isnt cheap. lets not even talk about servicing the beast in the back, the cost of tyres alone will make your eyes pop (well, it makes MY eyes water then pop)
iii)its impractical... i mean truely so. its not exactly comfortable or spacious, you cant carry much stuff, kids will have to take the buss on vacations, fc is horrendous, you have to own a small coupe or something similar to understand it
iv)you live in fear when parking it in malls.... imagine getting a door ding... i claw out my heart when my 20 yo car gets knocked... imagine if it was a porsche. theres also that fear of getting broken into or getting vandalized.
v) you also have fears driving it around, maybe motorbikes accidentally knocking into your car, grasscutter stones flying and scratching the car, potholes, bumps, maybe even basement parkings if the car's nose is really low.

1. Brand : Perodua > Proton
2. Budget : 50-60k (at this range, only proton & perodua i think)
3. New/Used/Unreg : New
4. Specs : Doesn't matter as long as not too high maintenance cost. (what is FC btw?)
5. Transmission : Auto
6. NA or FI :  Anything
7. Type : don't mind

fc means fuel consumption

you have 2 other options, the bezza and the persona

3 are similar, comparable fuel consumption (or better actually) , similar prices, similar maintenance costs. The other 2 have longer backsides, lots of toys and newer tech.

thanks for da replied  rclxms.gif

those tech like push start / keyless i dont really mind actually.. but one thing, compared with these 3 models, myvi has no stability control, does it really matter? confused.gif
*
well it keeps you in control in cases where things get squirrely its something nice to have. (some here do feel that should have been compulsory anyway)
to me the bezza is one you should consider if you dont want a proton. (iirc only the top range bezza has stability control)

Just want to give you my opinion, features like ABS and stability control are a must regardless of your driving skills, you can go to genting highlands(downhill)  and observe how many tire  skid marks you have on the road, most of those crashes could be avoided / minimized with those safety features.

Ps :why don't you consider the new Persona full spec?  It's within your budget
*
yeah if teckteck918 is willing to get a proton, its worth a look at. Should really go test all 3, technically on paper, the proton offers better value for money. Compared to the bezza, imo looks better + nicer interior but has a (also my opinion) inferior engine which seems to be more sluggish (not like the bezza is anything to shout about) and drink more fuel (but not by very much) than the bezza, major dif is the missing eco features on the bezza. (also nothing fancy)

yea my family suggested me to go test drive persona first before I make a decision..

so lets see  biggrin.gif

also thanks alot ya for the advice, otherwise i wont even consider potongs  blush.gif

my brother did said proton's engine is not as good as produa's. But i saw the persona using VVT engine, i remember the old vios also use VVT right? is it the lebih kurang or..  hmm.gif (im totally a noob in cars  doh.gif )
*
VVT is nothing new... some cars had this since the 1990's thats why i laugh when ppl say its new tech. Its 'new' only for proton, it is just proton's first implementation of this tech not anything new or revolutionary. and yes, the vios came with vvt-i, the lattest generation vios comes with dual vvti (inlet+outlet). If im not wrong, all perodua's but the axia have dvvt.

**am not sure however, why they suddenly decided to use the name 'vvt' for these newer engines, if im not mistaken the cfe also had this? if so, then it's not even their first take on vvt.... maybe just a marketing gimmick??

Hi guys i need a recommendation here, among 4 choices:

HRV E Spec 108k after discount
HRV V Spec 119k after discount
Mazda 3 GL Spec 104k after discount
Mazda 3 Hi Spec 119k after discount

I know it is quite difficult to compare between mini SuV with Sedan.
Currently i am driving Honda City and would like to try an SUV but the quality and interior of Mazda 3 really attracts me.

My current dilemma:

Pro HRV
-Suv < if this is a pro, obviously you want an suv
-More Space and bigger
-Honda has more sell value?

Pro Mazda-3
-Excellent interior design and quality
-Sporty look

Would appreciate any comment Thank you!
*
the hrv isnt exactly very roomy ya know.. afterall its largely based on the jazz....... am also not sure how its resale value will hold up againsts the m3... recent mazdas have been holding a respectable amount of their resale value. If there was something to complain about the mazda is its rear passenger space.

the subaru xv suggested by 5p3ak is loosely based on the imprezza platform, so yeah will be more spacious

wah how can i miss this?

Myvi 1.5 Special Edition - Automatic - RM 48k (can pay finish within 4 years)
Bezza 1.3 Premium X - Automatic - RM44k (can pay finish within 3 years)

My aim is not to buy the highest specs, don't need those "extra" stuff. End of the day asking for Bezza I guess, no need top end right?  rclxms.gif
*
top end bezza's major dif is that it has that extra safety feature which brings its crash ratings up.... whether its important or not is really up to you.

Basically the low spec Bezza is worst off than Myvi.
The top spec Bezza is only better because of the additional safety features so you're in a 5 star ANCAP car.
Which is the first and only one from Perodua iinm.
So yes Bezza top spec is very updated but the lower spec ones are nothing better than Axia with tongek buntut.

Hello all sifus and pros, i am not really good in cars so I would need suggestions from all sifus here.
Been working for few years now and would like to upgrade my car from a Myvi, would like to state that im aiming for a C Segment car as dont rly like cars like vios etc
after much survey and research done, these are the cars im considering 50k+- would be my budget and it will be a used car, it will be mainly city driving with occasional long distance drives, Of
Course FC is important as well.  These are the few cars and their avg prices i found.

1) Honda Civic FD1 2009-2011 avg price about 55k
2) Proton Inspira 2012-2013 avg price abt 45k
3) Mazda 3 HB/Sedan 2010-2011 avg price abt 50k
4) Fairly new Proton Preve 2014 avg price abt 40k

These are four cars which im considering, Im leaning abit on the honda civic and the proton inspira coz ive always liked the design of both these cars, Of course, i dont really mind being called a
fake lancer as I only care what im driving. Thank you for ur help
*
of this list, personally like the inspira (try get top end) better.... BUT of the 4, this also has the poorest fc. Its alright and noone will call it a fake lancer UNLESS you put in effort into actually changing the badges or dumping on evo conversion parts. At that point even I will call you a lalabeng. Do note that the maintenance of this s also one of the higher ones of this bunch as well so basically this will be the most costly to run.

civic 1.8's are something i just cannot look at... i just cannot look at them the same way. In my mind, civics should be slightly performance oriented... but the 1.8... no go.

mazda 3, pretty much a small car with a sporty design/interior/seating pos

preve - well imo nothing special now, the campro models are crap (my 2 sen) the cfe models are alright but nothing much special other than its loaded with safety features....

QUOTE(y4ng @ Oct 24 2016, 08:54 PM)

so basically, either the highest end of bezza or just get a myvi? 2nd highest end of bezza no point?
*
not to say 'no point' but you are pretty much missing out on what it has to offer in that aspect. At the end of the day it can still get you from point A to point B, but as you it is missing stability control there is an increased chance you dont. Then again i always say that if you drive responsibly the chances of this happening is greatly reduced (but not removed alltogether)

okla, i change the order to 1.3 bezza advance. 4 years repayment instead. actually long run will let my other half drive this car, i rather get another 2nd hand manual car, aiming for GT86 or maybe a CRZ after paying this off.

thanks for the advice, wanted a myvi 1.5 because of engine, but, no point if city drive, kill me faster only if use powerful and small car in highway.
*
haha 86 is a very nice car but manyak mahal....
crz alrightlah more looks than go but right now 70k can net you a decent car. Otherwise if u berani and can afford to pay cash, save up and get a older car....

if use powerful and small car in highway. bolehlah, need to control urself only.... to be honest not much dif between the 1.5 myvi and 1.3 bezza...
go try the persona 1st before you make your decision.... you might like that better??

hello guys , would like to ask if its worth to get a Nissan Almera for like RM43k? as i was offered by a friend. car is around 3yrs +

its a 2013 model, automatic, push start, key less entry, impulse body kits, mileage is around 70k
*
normal price, i think you should negotiate alittle if you want it. (a dealership would pay your friend close to 40k or less for that car)

frankly speaking, am not a big fan of the almera..... would rather get something else e.g. forte, elantra, inspira, suprima with that kind of budget (though ofc, running costs would be higher)

I'm not going to talk much about the Preve because I'm not familiar with the upkeep for his car, however I do know among the two variants available the non-turbo doesn't really cut it due to poor fuel consumption and performance, while the turbo does have "some" performance but fuel consumption isn't any better which is kind of strange since it is not a performance orientated turbo it should give better fuel consumption.

Mazda 3 would actually be the most expensive to maintain among the group as most of their parts prices are locked by the sole distributor especially big ticket items like aircon compressor, gearbox and anything from the engine. This is an economics of scale issue because for parallel importers to bring in compatible or cheaper originals from other countries to sell cheaper locally they need some sort of volume or else it doesn't make sense, which is why smaller items and compatible items like fuel filters, absorbers, etc. can be found because higher chance for people to buy it but bigger ones can't because it doesn't make sense for them to bring it in and sell cheaper because customer base small and warehousing cost isn't cheap to wait until someone breaks a cylinder head to seek a replacement. That is why they usually refer you back to 3S or authorised dealer.

Inspira/Lancer would be similar situation as Mazda3 except because both of these cars create enough volume I have seen importers bring more than just the usual minor service items for these cars.

*
laugh.gif mazda's sounding more and more expensive to maintain that I expect. Have a friend who loooooooooves mazdas (esp the 3), should go get a parts price list and have a look through first before he actually goes full nuts and gets one, sweat.gif

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 biggrin.gif ... 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~~)
