While waiting for /K EV experts to come in,
Isn't a brand new Seal at 164K within your budget?

Yea but I dont mind a used seal which is only a year old. So far pro and cons of seal vs EQA 250

Seal:
Pros: Faster, better battery, faster charge, longer distance
Cons: not much apart from the china built stigma.


EQA:
Pros:Nicer interior (for me personally) and one of the cheapest mercedes you can get for a 2023 year built.
Cons: small boot space, only 190 hp, slower charge, maintenance costs might be scary high.

To request recommendation, this is what u need to post:
1. Brand : prefer Japanese or reliable brand no easy breakdown
2. Budget. Max 150k cheaper is better
3. New/Used/Unreg. Prefer new as it must be reliable
4. Specs.: reliable durable and safe when accident
5. Transmission. Auto
6. NA or FI ? Any no preference
7. Type. (Sedan, 2 Seater, Convertible, and etc): sedan or hatchback where the back seat can be lowered to combine with the boot if want to carry large things
8. Remarks.: basically I will be traveling for work frequently maybe twice a month or thrice a month from kl to terengganu/kelantan/kuantan to project site that may or may not have very nice flat roads. I'm currently driving myvi lagi best for past 11 years and no issue driving everywhere and going into bumpy soil roads. My daily commute also easily 140km both ways. So I need a car that won't spoil easily, easily repaired with available spare parts since I will be at highway always, so no conti cars that breakdown easily, it doesn't have to be fast, prefer safe incase accident while at highway and not tin kosong like myvi. I was considering Toyota corolla cross but I want to hear any other recommendations.

Hi guys, planning to get the new city RS 2025 model. Some of my friends said some of the showroom offers heavy rebates plus tons of freebies for CNY but some are very low. Is there a thread i can follow? A dedicated thread for this? So that i can find out which showroom i suppose to go to
