By zenix:

1. First of all, is your Seller still owing the bank any money? If so, he needs to do a settlement with the bank first. You probably need to make an agreement with him that you write a cheque and get him to settle the bank loan first. Within a week, the car will be ready for transfer.

2. Seller to proceed to Puspakom to have his car checked. He need to provide you with the B5 (for JPJ transfer). This will cost him RM30. Or he can get a runner to do it, add about RM100 (he will bear it all).

3. You need to purchase the insurance for the car. You can use iMoney to get more information on this and compare before going to the insurance agent/office.

4. Bring your Puspakom documents and Insurance cover note and proceed to JPJ to complete the transfer.
a) Both Seller and Buyer must be present. If not, you need to get a commissioner of oaths to verify the absent parties on a Borang Akuan (JPJ-SAB01 and JPJ-SAB02). Write a simple authorization letter for a representative along with photocopies of his identification card.

b) Fill up Borang TM-1 and two copies of JPJ-K3.

c) Transfer costs is borne by the Buyer (i.e. you) and should cost RM100. If you do not have the time, you can hire a runner to do it (add about RM200).

5. Once done, you pay the Seller the rest of the money owed and Seller will hand over the car and keys to you. This can also happen in step 1, depending on your arrangement with your Seller.

HERE is a guide on what to look out for and test to do before buying a used Honda City/Jazz with CVT. It may also be used for other cars with CVT as the technology is the same but this article was written specifically for Honda Jazz/City.

not really.
1. there is a difference between a normal showroom and 3s, usually 3s is higher tier and owners richfag so they able to get stock faster or keep more stock.
2. even within the same showroom different salesman might give you a different deal, the standard deals like honda2honda rebate of rm2000 everyone has but they might give you different service, trade-in value, bank rates, etc. according to their individual contacts.
well, that's old technology compared to what the mazda has.
mazda skyactiv is good but do remember unique technology or complicated technology will not equate to cheaaper maintenance since not all workshops will be able to handle them, that is why conti's all have specialist centers.
Will you be buying cash because 2003 cars cannot be loaned.

Anyway HERE is a guide on what to look out for and test to do before buying a used Honda City/Jazz with CVT. It may also be used for other cars with CVT as the technology is the same but this article was written specifically for Honda Jazz/City.

jackbanner sticky it.
Well Inspira should be one of the more better cars you can choose to buy from Proton.
As far as I know there were no big quality or build issues with this car, I'm guessing it was just built using CKD packs from Mitsubishi then they added the Proton logo. The gearbox should be fine, if you're worried you can try to apply the CVT gearbox test before buy guide above.
