how about preowned unit from mazda anshin? 85k for 2015 high spec, quite a good deal actually

Price range?
Does it have any issue?

I find out 2015 is 2.0
Worry road tax haha

most of us is first hand owner, so far no major complain other than the lower arm bush giving sound when going through bumps and during rainy days, but it doesn't affect the handling of the car though

for pre-owned cars, i would be more confident to purchase from mazda pre-owned instead of 2nd hand dealer outside, and it come with mazda warranty as well if i'm not mistaken

roadtax is around RM369 for 2.0 if i'm not mistaken

What do you mean 2015 is 2.0? There is only 2.0 variant in Malaysia for the Mazda 3..
Roadtax is not killing you, the insurance, yes. Without NCD, it would be costs you around 3k for the first year. If you have 55% NCD, that will save you alot..

Road Tax wont kill you, and ya for skyactive only 2.0 on Mazda 3.
Compare to road tax, you should be worry about maintenance more, haha.

Oh
Not get from 2nd hand dealer ?
I read lot review
All also said the Bush giving sound
It can't be solve?

Haha

Hahaha you say this
I not dare le
Since the maintenance so expensive

Maintenance giving you problem? Normal service also more or less 200 - 300, depends on what Engine oil you want to use (I mean after warranty, you can do it outside). Standard what..

Battery, yes. Start-Stop battery is a pain and seems it doesn't last long compare with normal battery. Life span macam around 1 year to 1 year 6 months then giving up already. Cost around RM 500.

Tire, 18 inches. There are so many choices out there. Price range starting 350 - 700 also got. Choose yourself.

What else? Brake pad, around 300 ++ for front pads, 200++ for rear pads.

Regarding the bushes, no comment. Since I got replacement from SC and no more weird noise up to now from the bushes. But some member still face this issue, no idea what happened.

1.6 is previous gen, doesn't have skyactiv. Unless what you aiming is the previous gen, then I have no idea what could be the maintenance cost..

haha
i go check like kena poison mazda 3 look more better than 2 XD

but problem budget > <
new 2017 model over budget too much

using 1993 civic model
plan to change civic but over budget lol

hmm the battery so expensive rm 500 ...
if i no use the start stop battery
use normal battery can?

Hi all, is the one time FOC dead battery claim still valid now? I drove to the dealer today because the battery warning indicator came up today but they said that it's no longer valid and I will need to purchase a new battery for RM750. I would like to know if this is official or the dealer don't want to honor the claim.

There are great deals for pre-facelift Mazda 3 models now. You can pick up a GL for less than RM100K OTR without insurance.

You can use ordinary battery but i-stop will not work and will indicate an error.

The new policy for battery replacement is 1 year or 20,000km whichever comes first. You can buy an i-stop battery outside for about RM500.

Can they change the policy just like that? When I bought my car it should still be covered under 3 years or 60k km.

lol
my budget only 8xk T T
hmm the i-stop got what features

Haha, every car also need maintenace. Depends on what you want.

Haha, no Mather what have to prepare for it.
Until now I just have to pay for my battery and wiper. The only things change at sc is my bearing.

haha
think think firsst XD
how much if get a 2nd hand unit of mazda 3 ?
cause i see carlit
2nd hand 2015 model around 89k > <

Please do not take offense.. But it does really sound like you are not financially ready to own such a car yet.. Cars are depreciating assets.. NEVER buy more car than you can manage. "Common" road tax, which should be the least of your worries, you are complaining is expensive..

If you still want to upgrade your current vehicle, I advice you change to something cheaper to buy and maintain.

ok > <
just that mazda 3 look nice

may be just see dont think
just find out they got pre-owned car sell under 60k
dunno still valid or not

i am not worry common road tax
just worry the monthly payment
if more than 1.1k is bit tough for me

cause salary not really high

No need rush to buy your dream car, set it as a goal.

If really need a car then get a car that's easy on maintain and do more saving for investment.
For sure you will able to get better car in the future.

Yeah, if salary isn't high today.. It'll be higher in the future, then can buy without worrying so much about monthly installments or maintenance costs. Only in-demand and well maintained classic cars appreciate in value.. Every other car loses money the minute you drive it off the sales lot.. For instance, I hope to buy a Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo in the future.. Can buy today? Yes, but means end up living on the street and eating Maggie noodles..

Exactly..
