I have two questions here :
1. Let say on Mudah.my the car dealer posted the price of the car to be MYR40000, how much is the total price should I expect considering any other fees? And the extra charges and fees would be paid cash or will be included into the loan?


2. In what condition nowadays getting personal loan to buy used car be more worth than getting used car loan?

fuyoh... smaller than kancil or viva... sorry man only thing sold locally smaller than that i can think of atm is the smart for 2....

your requirements are a tad strange... better go back and rethink things

long time dint checked in...

Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Please suggest:
1. Brand. - Mazda2(3rd generation), VW Polo 1.6/1.2, Myvi 1.5, Latest ver Jazz E & City S
2. Budget. - Ard 40k - 60k
3. New/Used/Unreg. - Used
4. Specs. - Reliable, Low FC & Maintenance Cost, 1.5CC+-
5. Transmission. - Auto

I am currently using year 2003 Proton Wira 1.5M. I drive quite a lot in the city so planning to change to an auto car which is reliable, low spare parts & maintenance cost and FC. Due to it is not the only car in the house, so hatchback is ok for me. Initially planning to buy Mazda 2 (4th generation) because dont want too high commitment.

why not mazda3 hatchback? can easily find it within ur price range. was just looking at it on carlist just now.

1. Brand. Toyota, Honda, Perodua, Proton preferred, but open to suggestions.
2. Budget. RM7-10k
3. New/Used/Unreg. Used
4. Specs. Reliable, Low FC & Maintenance Cost
5. Transmission. Auto
6. NA or FI ? Any
7. Type. SUV, MPV, Sedan preferred, but open to suggestions.
8. Remarks. Good for long distance trips.

this kind of budget with those requirements... hmmm
going with the budget+type as the priority and reliability+maintenance cost as a secondary concern and fc being something you have to accept.

better options:
kenari
-quite spacious for a family
-reliable, its a proven machine, will do its job
-low maintenance, parts easy to source,any bawah pokok mechanic can fix it (if you wana fix it yourself also no problem long as you have tools and basic knowledge) BUT its old and you might need to replace stuff, 3 potter loves to munch mountings, and vibrate
-fc is on the decent side, not bad, not great (compared to what cars are capable of nowadays)
-aint great long distance if you ask me but will do the job

waja/wira
-for obvious reasons
*wiras yr2000 and onwards (avoid the 3 speed autos if possible)
*the 1.8 waja is terrible so make sure to view only the campro or mitsu models (cps keluar budget)


other less optimum options:
matrix
-relatively decent allrounder (as with the kenari) with better power (not saying much) BUT maintanance figures will not look that nice (not gona bring in the rest of the old cheap kimchi cars for this reason alone)

kembara(only here cause you listed suv)
-similar to the kenari other than its underpowered and is pretty unstable
-honestly dont like this thing, dont know why im even posting it here
-you can do better

eg civic & toyota seg
-relatively decent cars but very old, migth end up spending lots on refurbishing it

*there are some d segments like old camry's and accords which you can buy but tax+maintanance figures might be out of your range?*

I prefer B segment car which is lower FC, maintenance & spare parts cost.

Considering the VW Polo since their 2nd hand price almost same as Myvi, just considering is it reliable? Bcoz my friend just sold his VW GTI due to high maintenance cost, he willing to fork out 30k for the loan. Anyone Polo owner willing to share? Because i heard ppl say VW have gearbox issue. Thanks!

Serious 10k for vios? Mind to share further details, please??

mazda3 hatchback about 50k-70k, which year one?

WVPolo bout 50k-70k? which year one?

1. Brand. - MAzda or Toyota (others open except Proton, sorry)
2. Budget - 60k to 80k
3. New/Used/Unreg. - new/used
4. Specs. - ??
5. Transmission. - auto
6. NA or FI ? --
7. Type. (Sedan, 2 Seater, Convertible, and etc) - preferable Sedan, but others acceptable.
8. Remarks. currently aiming Vios or Mazda2, would like to hear more suggestion about 2nd car for my budget.

Mudah.my>Polo>year 2012 - 2014 also quite cheap since the new only RM7x,000+-

Polo 1.6 no gear problem.as is 6 speed tiptronic.

2012 n above.

im not an owner but i can tell you, it isnt the cheapest car to maintain IF you compare it to a myvi. You must remember, at the end of the day it's not a local car whose parts are competitively dirt cheap and can be fixed by almost anyone. Think it as an imported european car and the 1.6 is somewhat alright to live with. (getting the 1.2 tsi in my opinion is just asking for it)

Just went to few dealers. OTR price inc gst, reg, ins n bla bla
Vios J - 75888
Vios E- 80500
Vios G - 88000

Additional free gifts depending on dealers, but price about that.
New vios coming out next month, outlook the same, but new engine, gb an interior. Expect price starting from 80k

Intend to change wife's myvi to Vios J or City S+

Bluebird U13 aka Altima isn't a cheap project car.
Properly restored it is quite a beast especially the manual one as it has an SR20 heart, which can accept a turbo "pacemaker" anytime there are lotsa bolt-ons readily available in the market or you can keep it stock it is pretty much still very fast but don't expect the kind of power and fuel economy of newer cars. I remember my dad had to sell it when bushings were quoted to at RM4000, so it isn't cheap.

If your friend does any modifications on the Myvi then don't bother cause it really isn't that much cheaper than the cheapest used car on the market. The cheapest for that kind of mileage is 15.5k so friend discount is only 500 bucks?

Getting a good condition Wira for 5k isn't easy but if you just need a cheap runabout then this is the car to buy.

2011 Toyota Mark X - for me this is a value buy for many reasons but you've gotta accept the higher fees for roadtax because it is a 2500cc car but that is a V6, and although the most common V6 is our market is the Perdana this one from Toyota is much more smooth, powerful, economical and cheaper to maintain. This is capable of highway cruising at 150km/h @ 2000rpm when talking about looks it is a hit and miss for some as some people prefer newer looks no matter what but i find that the new one looks too "sonata" and square like the new Camry while this design is more rounded and instantly recognisable as a Mark X. Nothing much to worry about this car as it shares many components with the Toyota Camry and Lexus IS250, plus the new *cough*facelift*cought* models of the IS250 and Mark X although have a different exterior look uses the same engine and gearbox so you don't have to worry about getting parts.

2012 Ford Mondeo 2.3 @ 43k or 2012 Ford Mondeo 2.0 Ecoboost @ 68k - so there is a 25k premium if you wanna go for the Ecoboost model (turbo), if you ask me this is a matter of preference and maintenance cost, a mondeo isn't going to be cheap to maintain no matter how you flip the coin because in Malaysia this brand isn't as strong as it is in America or Uk, thus overall parts prices aren't going to be cheap either way but of course the turbo is going to cost you more to maintain due to the fact that turbo has more parts and require better engine oil. Some would rather spend on getting a Volvo or German at this kind of maintenance cost but only Volvo is this cheap to buy, if you're talking about Audi, Merc and BMW for this price range you can't get a 2012 car.

2006 Skoda Octavia 1.6 - this is the facelift and final version before Skoda stop selling cars in Malaysia, although Bermaz still support these cars for servicing and parts. It is a very good car to have as the Octavia's are basically VW Jetta's and Audi A4's but under another badge, kinda like how Perodua is a reworked and rebadged from Daihatsu and Toyota technology thus just like Daihatsu Boon = Perodua Myvi the same can be said for Skoda Octavia = VW Jetta = Audi A4. Since Audi and VW are here to stay getting parts for Skoda isn't a big problem but effort is needed if you want it at a cheaper price. If you don't want to headache but don't mind spending on the maintenance then just park at Bermaz 3s and they'll settle it for you but at a 3s price. If you do some leg work you can source cheaper parts from Singapore, China, or even a specialist shop at Jln Ipoh. Some of the Skoda gang do make a TT drive down to Singapore to buy parts for non critical stuff like door handles, interior bits, grille, power window, etc.

Real deal or not, nobody is going to pay for a used limited edition turbo alza at 80k

The Hybrid's sold to the rest of the world except Europe and America iinm are all made in Japan.
So they are export spec Japan CBU cars.
I've never had one beyond just a normal test drive, it seems that to get the same amount of power as the 1800cc Civic you'll be spending that hybrid reserve power quite often, not too sure about the reliability of the battery as these are first generation hybrids for Malaysia, although in other parts of the world they're like 4th generation already but we have to remember the climate here is different from Japan and Europe so eventhough 4th gen but there might be issues they haven't encountered in those countries since the climate is different.

Please check on the warranty properly, it is 8 years for the IMA system including the batteries, not the whole car.

It is a decent buy, but too complicated for me.
Many things can fail because of the integration of two fuel systems.
In terms of value there are many that buy it because used car value is as low or lower than the 1800cc variant but it comes with better quality materials, if the system does fail it is only a rm5000 job to transplant the 1800cc engine into it but you still get the nice made in japan cabin

Haha....you got poisoned by my suggestions of the Kizashi's haven't you?

It is a compact D-segment like most 3-series and Euro Accord, not full barge D-segments like Camry and Teana.

few people complain the rear....


looks like this....


maybe that's why it couldn't sell well, this is chinese uncle talk, but i find the car superb looking has that european-asian luxo look like the Infinity's, Lexus, Acura's, etc.
