Hi guys, is there a limit of number of years for loan on used cars? Is it still possible to get a 9 years loan on a 2011-2012 car?

yes, but really depends on the banker.

Well, now is an exciting time for people like you.
You can go with the obvious choice of Axia, or consider Bezza from Perodua.
Proton should be reacting with their new Saga and Persona soon as well.
Couple all this together there would be big discounts for the current Saga SV.

Hi guys I'm planning to buy a used car (city/lancer) as I've been reading most car dealers will have the meter tempered. Is it better to buy from those that provide full service record? Or that also can change? Thanks!

yeah we can never be 100% certain but here are a few tips:

1. service record based on the original manual and service booklet.
2. the car behavior during test drive.....engine/gearbox/handling.
3. interior condition.

A 2009 car at only 23k you should already get a clue about the car.
Pros: It is a good car and specced well.
Cons: Resale value probably is near rock bottom so don't worry about it sliding anymore but unless you trade-in you might not be able to sell this car in the future, maintenance and parts i'm not too sure about Hyundai cars but you can either talk to your local mechanic or try to email this guy to find out the cost and see if it is something affordable to you or not.

If you owe bank 15k
But trade-in only worth 10k
You still need to pay 5k to the bank

If you owe bank 15k
But trade-in worth 20k
You can cash out 5k or put as deposit for new car

Parents looking for Jap SUV to replace the old C200.

Looking at ASX, XV, X-Trail, CX-5, Outlander, Forester.

Any recommendation? laugh.gif

I'd go with Forester, but it is pricier than rest as it's still CBU if I'm not wrong.
Can't really say about the rest. I'm a long time x-trail owner. It's a good car but so far all the parts made locally by Tan Chong have failed. After replacing them with original Nissan parts from Japan then no problems at all.
Tan Chong have a monopoly on Nissan cars and SC in Malaysia, for this reason I'll never buy a CKD Nissan ever again.

It's kinda hilarious everyone commenting on ricers. We Malaysians, aren't we all technically ricers?

Hi, I just graduated and started working and now am planning to buy a used car for travelling to work everyday. The distance of my work place and home is 25km (50km back and forth). My budget for the car is less than RM20,000. I'm thinking Waja CPS 2009/2010. What are your thoughts on this car or would you recommend other car? I would really appreciate your thoughts on this, thank you!

Fresh grad don't buy used car
You'll have sleepless night should it give problem to you

How about getting Perodua Axia or Perodua Bezza
It is new and it will serve you without problems for easily 5 years.

as far as thoughts goes, i think this has been discussed several times, usable car (nothing special). maintanance is cheap, fc is on the bad side. as far as recommendations go, you have the other potongs to look at, and the viva (a fairly new axia can also be considered if you have around 25k)

I disagree, IF you know how to view a 2nd hand car OR know the history/condition of the car, i frankly believe it's a good idea. Its only a bad idea if you dont know what you're looking at.

I disagree. Being a fresh graduate, it is the ripe time for one to get a used car and started the very basic of knowing your car, what and how to repair and learn to take care of your car. Yes, u'll have more issues and problems due to wear and tear however only with that, one can get to learn what is what and then the solution. The fastest way to grow is through challenges and problem solving. That's how we move forward anyway.

As a fresh grad, you should focus your time in building your career
Not getting distracted but untimely breakdown of the old car
Well, for my field I don't have the luxury to send my car to workshop to repair stuff and getting frustrated or so
Hence, I bought a new car so that I can focus my time on my career
Different ppl different priority I guess.

haha diferent opinions. actually cars like the old junk saga, wira, those especially are extremely simple, nothing much can go wrong, not much electronics and the likes. Anything kaput, its also an easy and cheap fix. The only issues with these cars to me is, safety.... no matter how safely/carefully you drive, there will always be the chance that another driver smashes into you.

Nowadays with EPS (electric power steering) if there is an electrical issue the steering would also be effected.

(further information from Mr. Google below)

Key Mechanism
Not every steering wheel problem occurs when you have the transmission engaged and are heading down the road. Sometimes, drivers report that their steering wheel stays locked even after inserting the key into the ignition. When that happens, the car probably cannot be started let alone driven. More than likely the key assembly has worn out and needs to be replaced. However, before calling your auto mechanic, try to move the wheels to the left and to the right as sometimes the steering column "catches," a problem that can be resolved if you jiggle the wheel.

Lock Pin
General Motors issued a pair of recalls for the C5 Chevrolet Corvette (1997-2004 models) due to problems with locked steering. In addition to being locked while starting, owners complained that in some cases their cars could be driven but with no control of steering. This problem is due to a lock pin that fails to withdraw fully, allowing contact between the pin and lock plate. Visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA ) website (see Resources) for information about recalls #04006B and #04006C or call your Chevrolet dealer.

Rock solid engineering and would be cheap to maintain.
However, parts for certain things are getting hard to come by nowadays.
You might need to get OEM/compatibles or used parts.

Worst thing about cars this old is getting one which is in decent condition as getting one in original stock condition would be like finding the holy grail.
Just aim for good condition with not many things to fix up would be best.

2013 Proton Saga - i'm in favor to getting something which is newer yet within budget and can almost do everything you'll need for your new life. Unless you're not so good at parking you should always opt for a sedan because you'll have more space for moving house or outstation trips -- or if suddenly an unplanned family suddenly emerged and you'll need space for baby stroller and stuff like that. Saga although only a B-segment would of course fall short in terms of power and comfort from the Waja CPS but it is expected to be a much more reliable and cheaper car to upkeep over the same period. Being newer also more less likely things would go wrong plus by the time this saga came into the market Proton has reduced QC issues to industry norms, Waja and batches of Gen2 are likely to still suffer from a teething period where Proton rationalised their suppliers and final QC. Safety wise it should be still quite okay for such a price range and relatively short distance drive per day.

really depends on what you want to focus on and what is your job about.
if you're in sales/marketing thus you'll be using the car more often thus you want to lower the cost / learn to lower the cost of car ownership over time.
and got more "ular time" to fix it up as well.

if you're more office based then you might want to get something boring and reliable in terms of maintenance.
