I asked him to explain because I thought of buying either Exora or Avanza. So of course it's good for my to hear from someone who has experience driving Exora. By the way, currently I'm driving Proton Saga BLM. By the way, everything is good except power window and constantly got sound from engine.

i would personally try find a later batch saga lmst or wira..... there are other cheap cars but im quite sure you want to keep costs low these 2 are very easy to maintain long as the major components arnt screwed.....
the wira is bigger but less frugal compared to the saga
*should mention that you should only consider the manuals since they are cheaper to deal with and are frugal

what about proton satria 1996 which i found 6k plus in carlist dot com and naza suria 2008 only 5k in mudah dot com blink.gif

satria is alright, basically a wira BUT i forgot to mention one thing... yeah for almost all protons pre yr-2000 be careful of roof rust.... very common on cars before yr-2000.... ignore the suria

Have been searching for 2nd hand 2008 2009 camry (2.0G or 2.4V) for some time in JB area. However, it is hardly to get a nice camry with 60-70K here. Any other recommendation?
Looking for comfort and reliable car.

I have another option recently. Elantra 1.6 around 85K OTR and K3 1.6 about 91K OTR. Can this be a nice choice?

Why 8-9 year old camry still so high in price?
*
why old camry still so valuble?
1)cause 'T' brand
2)cause 'T' brand...

how about teana? also a fat massive car, just as good as the camry... more comfortable if you ask me (spec wise u kene check sendiri)

let me warn you... its not that easy to maintain those cars... pieces of trim are very difficult to find and new spare parts are very exp... might as well put the effort into taking care a nicer car (no offence old peugeot owners)

guys,


what do you all think of Honda CRV year 2007-2010 second hand, is it a good car? any common problem?
*
nah proven car, someone else asked about this car a few pages back
*let me find the old replies, am lazy and just gona simply copy n paste so might look abit weird*

QUOTE(lsm1991 @ Jun 30 2016, 04:11 PM)
Vehicles that fit the bill perfectly.
Honda CRV (from your pick)
-its found everywhere on our roads, parts are no issue all in all, a proven car.
Nissan X-Trail
-also a solid car, less common but reliable nonetheless

vehicles that kinda miss it by abit (this bunch are on the luxurious side)
Nissan Murano
-nice car, only issue? 2.5L tax~
Harrier
-also a nice car BUT the older 2.2L models are pretty old and looking abit dated now and the newer 2.5L models are nicer looking but cost quite abit more (correction, newer models are 2.4 not 2.5)

+both cars are very reliable and are basically mechanically speaking, bulletproof... luxury cars
-both cars do drink fuel rolling around in town

cars that i dont think you should consider BUT because i like to pop up with silly ideas that only appeal to me, let me throw in these 2 (jangan marah saya, i just really like these 2)
Toyota Caldina
Mitsubishi Airtrek
+both are 2.0L turbo vehicles, both very powerful, both sport oriented
+both share many parts in its others in their respective families....
-unfortunately they can cost abit to maintain cause... power and budget never go hand in hand
-yeah turbos~ u did mention na but i like power

QUOTE(zenix @ Jun 30 2016, 11:45 PM)
2010 Nissan Dualis - usually Nissan X-Trail would be a good choice but let's think outside the box abit, I know it is for old folks but you don't need to get them that boxy old folks looking car, you can opt for its JDM brother the Dualis. It is a JDM model so of course the build quality and materials used are better than the ones in the X-Trail but the best part is under the skin parts like the engine, gearbox, aircon, all wheel drive system, etc. is the same so you don't need to worry about limited parts supply or buying expensive flown in from Japan parts, you can use the locally made parts for the X-trail. Of course they don't look the same so if in the future an accident occurs getting body panel parts might not be as cheap but if an accident usually can claim insurance or 3rd party so I don't think that's a problem as long as your maintenance and upkeep is cheap that matters more.

2009 Toyota Fortuner 2.7 - the only black spot about this car is the engine displace of 2700cc of which the roadtax would cost you RM1,000 per year. Other than that it is a rock solid car like any Toyota. In terms of size it is slightly bigger than the CRV but they're in the same class, I think the old folks would enjoy a bigger and more comfortable ride while they're exploring the country. It is pretty cheap to maintain and parts are cheap as the Fortuner/Hilux/Innova share many common components. The only thing is your'll need to buy extra black oil for the bigger engine.

Teana is also expensive in Jb area. How about Sylphy? Good? Which year you will suggest? Is this a C segment or D segment car?
*
my 2 sen.... u have to decide if you want a c or d segment car in the 1st place... that is step one

just a note,
the teana would cost you alittle more (i hear its fluids are more exp), but its not a major draw back, just a small amount
also... if you do go for a sylphy, go for the later batches, you can add an aftermarket oil cooler on the earlier models but for the sake of peace of mind, might be worth considering the later batches

Bro, topmark sale got PM me one new camry arrived.
http://topmark.com.my/index.cfm?fa=virtual...ail&UID=BLU3899

It's 2012 camry with 1 year toyota warranty.
You can visit them. but the price is much higher. RM110k++...

So sorry trouble him send me info but my wife chosen another camry....haha...
Intro you see see.
*
i guess his issue in the 1st place is that he is in johor....
*also, long as the car is in decent cond, you wont really need the warranty. Really your call, but one reason the 'T' brand sells here is cause its reliable. adding warranty on top of that is abit overkill. I would personally just buy it cheaper and save the excess for maintenance, but thats just me.

major problem, like power windows stopped working, been told Proton QC very bad last time ...
*
speaking about potong in general, that is pretty much a myth nowadays... not something that happens often with the newer cars.... qc is still in my opinion bad (at least as far as the plastic quality, switches feel, that kind of stuff).... mechanically, most of these cars are alright. The engines are decent, no real major issues.
-proton did have an issue with the cfe's and that was solved later on.
-certain models did have some design flaws. Cars like the persona/neo's leaking slightly via the doors cards

now about the iris in particular. It does have a slightly different engine with vvt, only been around for about 2 years, its not so new that you are some sort of lab rat but am not sure if you can consider that 'proven'. As of right now, no major issues. No idea how the car will hold up 10-20 years in the future but should be alright i guess. you can go look around in the iriz section and ask there for more info.
*IMO its good to ask a car club about the car you want to understand in more detail BUT its a bad idea to ask 'it it worth it' or 'if you should buy one' cause lets face it, there will be some form of bias-ness

54k is for pre-facelift. post-facelift is around 65k. actually 2 cars are in my mind. caldina gt4 and mazda 6. i know its diff segment.. just that i am more inclined to these two cars.
*
I am assuming you want the 3s models, cause the rest are kinda sad (dont think we have many of the rest here anyway). Well the caldina is a proven car, parts are not that difficult, the caldina or 3s clubs can lead you the way when it comes to parts. One other point though, the caldina will drink alot more fuel than the m6... problem would be looking for an untrashed unit. many of these as well altezzas, celicas, and most older performance oriented cars have been abused at one point of their lives and you can tell. (personally trashing once in awhile is part and parcel of a sports car's life, but so long as the owner keeps it in good cond, thats alright, its built to take some punishment)

just a point ya, if you are in it for the caldina's power, u can also consider the turbo airtreks....
imo airtrek is a better machine if you are just in it for the power..... looks wise really subjective laugh.gif. mechanically, lots are shared with the evo series and the gearbox is really lasak even if you want to push 400 or so hp. (from what i was told)

My viva usually cost around RM100 for normal service (Engine Oil, Oil Filter, Air Filter). Looking for around Rm300 to rm400 maintenance cost.
*
ahh then you are pretty safe..... the 3 choices of yours 'Preve, Vios, Inspira' will fit in just fine.....

preve cfe (i have no respect for the non-turbo models. in my mind, they don't exist whistling.gif)
+ loaded with safety features, really loaded (this is the no 1 selling point of this car)
+ fairly reliable
+- handling is great but to me, does not seem that powerful but in your case, should seem like a bullet! (unless you have a monster hiding under your viva's bonnet, yrv perhaps? brows.gif)
- fc aint that great in towns or if you like to tekan
- technically speaking maintanance down the years might be slightly higher (turbos need to be rebuilt one day and all that)

Inspira
+ basically a mitsu
+ great handling quite powerful, fc similar to the preve cfe
+ fairly high speced
- (i have learnt recently... stability control tadak though)

vios (will admit, am slightly... mildly.... biased against vioses)
+reliable as hell
+ decent fc
- old junk tech (good cause its proven, bad cause its still old junk tech)
- resale too high (good car to buy new/sell off in a few years, not so to buy 2nd hand sweat.gif)
- specs are meh at best

only other alternatives i can think of atm are the city (gen5) and mazda 3 (i am ignoring all kimchi cars)
city
+ also well speced
+ reliable car
- airbag issue, (they are replacing them by batches~)
- not that great fc since they switched to the simpler tranny

No good with loan stuff and all that.... The caldina is a nice car, its alright if you really like it I guess... Only thing bad about caldinas are their age

you need to ask our Iriz expert andrewyu2005
Actually there are no major issues with the Civic 9gen, only thing is the engine is not a K20 DOHC i-VTEC but a R18 SOHC i-VTEC (kenot gloat during car club meeting so remain 2"), then the styling is pretty boring, other than that it is a decent car.

Alamak it was nice and quiet...

And yeah everyone loves the k20.... Maybe a little too much, great engine and all but I still maintain, some think that cause it shares the same name as the r, its similar.... Its definitely not...

no normal price for this processing fee, its any figure they want.... i also kene this bs so i just walked away

to me, you should include these processing fees into the total cost of the car, and use this 'total cost' as the final value to be used for comparison
