my question may not be directly related to this topic. I was thinking to buy a used car (second car) and looking for C or D segment like camry or accord. Perhaps year 2006 and 2008. At the same time I have an option to bring my 16 years old camry from overseas (have AP but obviously need to pay tax, shipping, insurance etc). I just wondering whether it worth to bring this 16 year old car back (no major issues with the car) or simply buy used car in Malaysia.

I am interested with Toyota Camry 2.0 2009. Condition is good, service record complete and well maintained. Price within my budget and just for domestic/city usage. The only downside the milleage is high about 400k plus. mostly on the highway according to the owner. any opinion on this?

2017 Toyota Voxy - at 130k you might as well go the unreg/recon route with better cars from Toyota than a used Nissan. Usually 130k you should be able to get a 2019/2020 Voxy which is "baby Vellfire" to some. It is about the same dimensions as a Serena but it doesn't come with any hybrid drivetrain so guna tanpa was-was it is just using "3ZR-FAE V" 2000cc naturally aspirated engine with valvematic (toyota's first engine with this tech) which is also found on CHR and Wish. So upkeep ain't going to be Alza level cheap but you're getting your money's worth in terms of specs, comfort and ease of upkeep. Also the particular variant in the link is called a Welcab which is Toyota's terminology for one of the chairs being able to transform into a wheelchair or have a robot arm to carry one of the chairs out of the car, this is good for old folks.
At 400k mileage if it is something you already own and is running fine, don't change. Toyota cars are pretty durable if cared for properly.
However, I would never buy a car with 400k mileage from anyone unless of course you screwing his/her daughter on the side.

[/spoiler]

I've talked about Voxy above.
However do be aware of the body type/size.

From small to big
Toyota Voxy / Noah / Picnic = Nissan Serena
Toyota Estima = Honda Odyssey (in cabin size but since it is built on a car platform it rides lower than the Estima and usually no power door)
Toyota Vellfire / Alphard = Nissan Elgrand
prices will keep increasing
buy only when u need then it is justified

Thank you for advice. I got an offer for RM 37K Subaru XV 2014. Condition is good and milleage around 200k. Is it a good bargain for local usage in the next 8 years also

I have decided to buy used uncle car Toyota Camry with budget not more than RM 40 K. Any recommendation which year, model should I after and should it be 2.4 or 2.0? Mostly city driving but no issue to pay the extra road tax and extra fuel

Beside road tax & fuel consumption.
Did you budget the repair cost as well?

Yes, ready for any repair cost and all the necessary maintenance. That budget is separated from that 40k
