8. Remarks: it will be my weekend gateway car for my family and not my daily drive. prefer to buy complete restore old 4x4 or rebuild myself but at the moment not sure where to go to (kch sarawak). sifus need advise and recommendation which model suitable for me and whtr my budget is realistic.

sifus, hyundai creta pre register slightly below 100k good deal or not?
less than 50k from retail price

i check at data.gov total only 142 unit register until today which probably already include the preregister unit. they also include free servicing for 5 years too. what do u think, still not a good deal?

i already test drive the car, except for the performance, the rest such as handling n ride seem better than the previous version of hrv. im yet to try the new hrv. anyways, seem its really a segment B suv bar perfomance.

wrv outside good looking. inside looks like a 50k cars. some more lack of equipment haha
ativa, like wrv, A-seg suv n quite small for me. mazda cx3 also the same.
cherry omoda also arround 100k now but reputation damage already after the viral incident.

dilema

Thanks bro for your opinion i appreciate it. I do consider waiting for toyota yaris cross/perodua nexis too. Any news/update when it will be launch?

already tried last few month. good but i prefer suv or pickup. easier to get in/out from the car. sudah tua maa.. plus prefer car with high ground clearance for semi-offroad activities

dont rush bro. a better deal might coming in the next few days/month. myself planning to buy a car since March this year but until today haven't bought yet. somehow deals from SA keep getting better n better. proton 7-8k rebate until today still available. honda steering rack issue model up to 12k. toyota cc hyrid 8k rebate always available. cheery 8k or free maintenances. Mitsubishi pickup up to 22k. latest hyundai suv 50k. i went to mazda showroom yesterday, only cx3 got promo. mazda rarely got rebate. why dont u try test drive jaecoo j7

dont go for civic, steering rack still got problem. i did confirm with honda SA also. that mazda 2-5k discount probably his/her own commission so it depends on the SA. jaecoo brand new. unsure. but the engine n chassis same with tiggo 7 pro. im in tiggo 7 pro owner whatasap group. manage to sneak in because it is also on my watchlist. so far most of the complain minor sound here n there probably panel fitting and finish problem. and then 1-2 have low engine oil level after few thousand km ride. overall no major issue so far. jaecoo should be the same

If you looking for a fun car to drive , not too high tech then try look for pre register suzuki swift sport. Or pre register Hyundai kona/creta. All below 100k.

Need to fork out additional 10-20K for wear and tear. Insurance need betterment coverage.

Yeah but ensure small item were replaced as well. Example if the previous owner changed absorber. Make sure he/she also did replace the absorber mounting/bearing/ coil spring set. another example brake disk+ brake drum+ brake pump. Lower arm+stabilizer link+stabiliser bush. Etc etc. car part are link together and if you just change 1 part only, there will be times down the road the other part will failed or uneven wear and tear.Check aircond service record as well. If previous owner did all that, maybe its a good purchases. If not, calculated first how much u need to spend to replace all these wear n tear and whter it worth it. Keep in mind interest rate for used car very high too. Other than that its a good car. Proven n reliable. Spare part availability also no problem.So, good luck bro.
