All sifus please help, my budget is around 20k- 25k and what car should I buy? I plan to buy a 04/05/06 city, can I get a cheaper price than my budgeted price ? Will the old model city have problem? I have heard that old model city's gearbox were facing lots of problems and cannot be fixed easily, that's why a lot of,people are selling off their old model city which is from 2003-2008 model This is my ideal specs of car 1. Brand : Used Honda city 2003/2004 2. Budget : RM20k - RM25k 3. New/Used/Unreg : Used 4. Specs : Full Spec 5. Transmission : auto 6. NA or FI : 7. Type : 4 seater. 8. Remarks : i am wondering what is the difference between vtec and idsi, normally idsi will be cheaper ? How can I buy a good condition secondhand car? I really need advice because this is my first time buying second hand and can I get 03 city that is below 20k? Any advice and what is the flaw of old model city? Pls give some advices

QUOTE(dares @ Jul 29 2016, 01:57 AM) The model you are looking at are infamous for gearbox problems, mostly due to Honda service centers using the wrong oil to service the gearbox and damaging it. If you are unlucky enough to get one like that, you will be looking at a hefty repair bill soon, possibly more than what you paid for the car. IDSI is supposed to be the model with better fuel economy compared to VTEC, although some owners say the difference is not huge. Also, IDSI has lower horsepower and uses 8 spark plugs compared to VTEC's 4 spark plug. For 25k, just get a used Myvi, or Saga/Persona if you need a sedan. It's not a Honda, but at least it won't be 13 years old. How about old model vios? In terms of banding wise, function and comfortability, should I take used Honda/Toyota car more than 10yesrs or a used 5-year saga/persona ? I am planning to drive the car for 5years.
