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 

1. Brand: Toyota Estima
2. Budget: 120k OTR price
3. New/Used/Unreg: Prefer Unreg or used
4. Specs: Full Spec
5. Transmission: Automatic
6. NA or FI ? : NA
7. Type:
8. Remark:

My question is the loan will consider the car registration year or the car manufacturing year for unreg car to process the loan. Any Toyota Estima dealer here? TQ guys

1. Brand: Kia Forte or Honda City
2. Budget: <RM35k
3. New/Used/Unreg: Used
4. Specs: Any
5. Transmission: Automatic
6. NA or FI ? : Any
7. Type:
8. Remark:

I am at a crossroads here

There's 2 cars i'm interested in a
2010 City with 150k clocked in for RM32k

/

2013 Kia Forte 1.6 with 90k clocked in for RM35k
why not the top of the range 2.0... the 1.6 is lethargic

The city is considered cause my dad says it's durable and parts are cheap doesn't suck petrol as well .
however I find the car to be rather bland interior wise... and the mileage is sky high
The Forte seems to be well equipped and pretty techy.
well, imo its basically on par actually (unless you get the baseline forte which is crap)

I'm more fond of the Forte cause of it's year and mileage.

But my dad says that Koreans are a nightmare to maintain and eats petrol like a champ. Hence the maddening depreciation.
So .... is that true ? feels like my dad is having the mentality jap = tahan but  I need more opinions on this
not really that true, owners have said that parts are not an issue and are not really that expensive (in the klang valley, outside i wish you all the best) and they are not really problematic cars. The enhanced 6 speeders (which is what you are looking at) also get decent mileage. Not as good as the city, but its okay. What your dad says about the city however is true. The 2009 model is pretty much a bulletproof machine.

1. Brand : Any that fit the budget
2. Budget : Max 50k (I am leaning to left side)
3. New/Used/Unreg : Any
4. Specs : 1.3 cc and above
5. Transmission : Automatic
6. NA or FI : Not sure about this, sorry
7. Type : I am not much a fan of sedan due to low seating but if its a good deal, please do recommend also.
8. Remarks :
Will be used for daily commute to work and client visit, so reliability and durability is a must. My house quite far from the city and daily commute from house to work can reach 120km per day, not including client visit.  Fuel consumption and maintenance also play important part since I will hit the road quite often.

I have narrow down to New Perodua Myvi 1.3X and Proton Iriz 1.6 Premium (both with discount), but not sure which one to proceed. Any other type also welcome..
Thank you..

I didn't get to test drive 1.3X variant because the dealer only have 1.5 advance available. My personal opinion, yes Myvi 1.5 will get better performance in terms of engine and bigger space, but the other factors not so much.
Especially if what the SA said is true (that Myvi 1.3X will have same performance like Bezza 1.3), it will be better to choose Bezza (bigger boot, top spec with all feature). I think really need to go and test drive yourself to have better perspective..

lsm1991 just got my new notebook/desktop from AdmiralG
so i'm going to be more active here from now onwards
how about you?

i have no idea about evo 9. However realistically, car at that age will have some issues and needs more attention.

lsm1991 mana u?

8. Remarks : Headache to get either accord 2.0 facelifted model (2012) or 2.4 prefacelifted model (2010)

Hello Bro Zenix. Shopping for my dad 2nd hand car. My dad got max budget Rm55k. After hunting a lot of 2nd hand car dealer and individual owner, got 2 units that my father interested.

Problem is, both car is on different year and variant. 2.0 is 2012, while 2.4 is 2010. Mileage is about the same. If my father drove 70% highway and 30% city, which fuel consumption more jimat cruising at 120km/h all the way on highway?. My father hardly drove fast, only few times reach 140km/h. In term of maximum fuel efficiency which one more jimat if my father dont drive fast   

I ask few of my friends, they all said, better get facelifted model since it is newer, one of my friends even show prefacelifted accord got owner complained and put sticker on his accord "honda x guna". So scary. Based on my observation, 2.0 facelifted is more silent than 2.4, but 2.4 more well equipped.

I read ur statement here said, 2.4 more jimat on highway, that make me more headaches, dunno the saving from rm350 roadtax over 2.4 is justified or not, scared later become, "penny wise pound foolish". Spend less on roadtax but more on fuel.
really it also depends on your mileage and overall driving conditions... i dont believe this car is going to be driven 100% long distance. fuel economy should not be used to justify taking the 2.4 over the 2.0
**also i believe the 2.4's rt is over 2x the 2.0

Anither different is 16" tyre vs 17" tyres. Does 17" tyre last longer compared to 16" tyre under same driving pattern?. Really curious since price difference quite high.
[b]nope

Btw, tq in advance for ur reply. Cant wait to see what u repiied.

Yeah, the 3000cc engine not worth it in the end.....but the name GTO 
Del Sol?

U reply mana oi

1. Brand : Any
2. Budget : less than 15k for used
3. Transmission: Auto
4. Type : Prefer hatchback/sedan, but open to suggestions
8. Remarks : I'll be using this car mostly for city driving, to and fro work (less than 10km) and occasionally have to drive from Kajang to Putrajaya/KL/PJ for work purposes. Won't be using it for long distance (balik kampung) as my family has a bigger car for that.

My parents suggested to get a new car and are willing to chip in for the loan repayments (as I just graduated a few months ago) but after visiting the showrooms and listening to the salespersons etc I'm worried that it would be costly since I just started working and do not want to burden my parents with the car loan.

For new car, the choices are either Myvi/Bezza. I really appreciate any suggestions on used cars too since I'm keeping my options open. Plan to visit some second hand car dealers to check some cars out (if there are any places around Kajang/Cheras to recommend, do share as well!)

Thanks!

i'll still say, the picanto is a super good buy for 2nd hand.

https://www.mudah.my/Kia+Picanto+1+2+Auto+P...ec-78731057.htm RM20k only... easy to maintain, hassle free car.

PS: my family own 2 hyundai i10 same engine, same transmission only difference is, the i10 do not look as dated as the picanto and it has less gadgets.

well i have to say one have to go test drive the VIVA first... Viva @ RM15k i'm afraid it's not road worthy at all. Crapiest piece of 3 cylinder junk.

the Neo is definitely something nice.
