QUOTE(penguinno1 @ Mar 15 2024, 05:14 PM) Mazda 3 is c segment car while cx30 is SUV, generally family would prefer cx30 for its bigger space. No, in many casesMazda 3 with the full spec has def more features than the mid spec new cx30, better interior, more safety features etc technically mazda3 is the more expensive one since its CBU import from japan originally priced around 160k+, while cx30 is around 140k mid spec Am in a dilemma because used car comes with higher interest rate, and it being "used". while with new car I get all the benefits of new car (5 years free maintenance), . Searching online the similar used Mazda 3 would be around 11k-13k, but buying from my relative there should be no worries for the condition as its from my rich relative and he rarely drive it But my family is pretty against buying car used as they prefer new car for "less worry". In general would the public have the same mindset that new is always better ? CBU > CKD Full specs > Mid Sedan handling > SUV 100K better than 140K. Just allocate funds for wear & tear. And getting a used car with low mileage from a reliable owner is a dream come true for buyers. If you not buying, please PM me your relative contact. FrogBlob liked this post

QUOTE(Richard Walter @ Mar 21 2024, 09:09 PM) 2. Budget :70K - 140K Since you are familiar with Toyota reliability, the obvious choice would be3. New/Used/Unreg :New 7. Remarks : For daily work travel purpose (40-50km daily) & monthly travel back from kl to singapore Currently using Toyota Vios 2011. Planning to change by mid this year. How much can the vios be traded in?  You can check with topmark for Vios value else take to Carro and Carsome to get a free valuation (don't sign up for auction) |

QUOTE(pcm123 @ Mar 22 2024, 01:09 PM) 1. Brand :Local Used car proton cheaper than perodua so advantage for you.2. Budget : under 40k, 5 yrs loan, RM500 month. 10k down-payment. 3. New/Used/Unreg :New or used 5. Transmission :Auto due to heavily city drive. 7. Remarks : my first car purchase For daily work. 100km week. opted for better handling/stable don't have trusted mechanics or good at checking cars Currently eyeing 2022 Saga premium auto. Taking premium>standard due to screen+reverse camera. If you can find a trusted seller, relative or good friend who can honestly reveal the repairs needed, then a used car should be a better deal after the original owner absorb the initial heavy depreciation. Don't trust used car dealers, Carro, Carsome etc all will cheat you if you are blur l. However what's the plan say 5-6 years later? If used car already 4-5 years old, then need consider higher budget as major components breakdown. If intend to keep car for up to 10 years, buying new might then be a good choice if within budget. Also note your NCD is zero % so used car cheaper insurance coverage will allow you to built up to 55% eventually. Edit: 100km weekly = 5,200km yearly, ard 15km per day. That is very minimal for city drives. Saga should be fine. If me I'll use bike  Example below 20K need to check carefully https://www.mudah.my/2018+Protonx+SAGA+1+3+...+-105504261.htm This post has been edited by dogbert_chew: Mar 22 2024, 01:57 PM |

Remarks : perodua kelisa, Perodua kenari, perodua viva or proton saga fl, best in term of maintenance cost? Kelisa 2001-2007 Viva 2007-2014 Saga FL 2010-2012 The cost for cars are A. Running cost eg petrol, insurance, roadtax B. Maintenance cost eg engine oil, brake pads C. Repair cost eg major components like gearbox, aircond, radiator, chassis D. Modifications such as bigger rims, suspension Since all these models 10-24 years old, the main worry is C. Repairs needed for major components rather than B. Maintenance. This needs to be carefully checked by expert where possible to avoid major repairs needed from high mileage, rough usage and also flood, accident units afify88 liked this post

QUOTE(clon12 @ Mar 29 2024, 09:05 PM) Because theres the D66B model so I was thinking if it is replacing/competing with Ativa and so was wondering if its still relevant to consider it. If you use the standard format here then easier to offer suggestions eg budget? Check earlier posts. I am still driving a Myvi SE 1.3 2009 model now  D66B is B segment more expensive than Ativa A+ segment so depends on the distance, route, passengers you take. Etc.. clon12 liked this post

QUOTE(abgridwan90 @ Apr 7 2024, 10:13 PM) 1. we have bad experience owning protons car before, so no more proton car, Am pro new car for B40s, any defects for 5 years handled by manufacturer so no major surprises in financial budgets.2. hahah wife doesnt know how to drive manual anymore, so not an option New Axia for wife (if can hit 40K through loan + downpayment) else very carefully look for Used Axia or Bezza (if need a bigger boot). Vios is a higher segment so maintenance also expect an increase over Axia. No need this headache for now, i feel la. This post has been edited by dogbert_chew: Apr 7 2024, 10:31 PM |

QUOTE(whome96 @ Apr 8 2024, 10:41 AM) 1. Brand : Any except perodua/proton (bad experience) Do quote an actual budget like RM60K.2. Budget : monthly below 1000 3. New/Used/Unreg : new/used prefer type c sedan hatchbacks no SUVs reliable car that is easy to maintain daily drive within city sometimes go places like penang or ipoh Don't follow abgridwan90 posting above cos it is difficult for anyone to calculate your loan amount depending on how much downpayment, interest rate and loan tenure you take. For new cars, can't think of any C-segment sedan or hatchbacks except for Proton S70 (more like B-seg) which you banned so the cheapest is probably Civic ard RM130K Will let others feedback for used cars |

QUOTE(GamersFamilia @ Apr 25 2024, 07:21 PM) noted Is it the Toyota brand?how bout toyota yaris , i've seen via carsome , 2020 model mileage around 41k ++ i've seen few times on the road that makes me to add it into my wishlist Yaris is very similar to Myvi. Maybe few inches longer and 16" rims instead of 15" and one extra knee airbag? New Myvi at 60K also comes with Adaptive Cruise Control, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Front Departure Alert, Pedal Misoperation Control and other stuff like Acoustic Glass Windscreen, Built-in Toll Reader, Security Window Tint, Front Dash Cam None of which the aging Yaris has. 😅 |

QUOTE(Jayi @ Apr 25 2024, 08:06 PM) hmm im at JB Why would you get a 10 year old SUV when a brand new model sold in Japan cost RM62K? Aiming some SUV below 70k and within 10 years old. Just looking for a reliable weekend car, dont really mind what segment (depending whichever available in the used market?  ) - Ativa - HR-V - CR-V G4 - CX5 KE Unless you use the standard format here and present your requirements for more detailed feedback. |

QUOTE(markypcs @ Apr 28 2024, 03:59 PM) Looking to buy 2 cars, upgrade from Honda Civic and Toyota Vios. For Civic replacement,1. Brand : Japanese 2. Budget : 150-200k 8. Remarks : Want one SUV for the occasional interstate travel. The other one, either SUV or Sedan is okay. new CRV, second hand CX5 recon Harrier Sedan options as well. Mainly city drive, Whats your test drive impressions for the CR-V eg the AWD? As you said the CX5 looks the same since 2012. How about Accord, moving one segment up, can test drive and feedback here? Alternatively there are some nice EVs within your range such as BYD Seal. The occasional interstate can be carefully mapped out for charging. Vios, any issues with current car? |
