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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Nobody wants accident to happen.
If the time comes, that's it.

Most Malaysians why they buy Toyota or Honda or Perodua?
Reliability.
What's the point buying a car that gives you endless headache and making countless stops the the workshop?

Time is money.
