I think go for a new one instead of a 2nd hand...unless you know someone who deals 2nd hand cars.
which one to choose?, getz 1.4 vs City IDSI 2005 (2nd hand)

QUOTE(kcng @ Jan 23 2007, 07:27 PM) should be more expensive Yes, thats the whole point. Bad FC and expensive (plus slightly harder to source) spareparts really make me stay away from Koreans. Or else, the Getz is a good solid car. The interior is so much better than the Myvi and in some area its kinda on par with the Japanese. btw, just have a chat with my friend who has a getz according to him FC RM 80 - 400 kms i was like even civic 2.0 can do better |

hmm the spareparts availability for korean cars is definitely not a problem, just that you might not get an option to choose either original parts or cheaper replacements. And ofcourse the original parts is quite costy

QUOTE(kcng @ Jan 23 2007, 12:34 AM) there is a downside to second hand cars tho, You got the point man, who know what the oner done with the car before..... 1) the owner might not take care of it properly, irregular service interval 2) there is a problem with the car and the owner want to sell it (sort of lemon car) 3) warranty (if still valid) might be harder to claim so if possible, go get a new car for more peace of mind, because with a new car, you know what would be wrong with it and there is always warranty claim should anything goes wrong. QUOTE(m|ng @ Jan 23 2007, 08:55 AM) I would say theres a few factors to consider when having a 2nd hand car. Agree with you, I don't like smoker also (but i respect them). Also we might know why they sell their's car?1. Bring your trusted mechanic there to check for the car, or any accidents, Etc. (but since this is a 2005 car, should be alright) 2. Does he smoke? and do you mind? (I will not buy a smokers car) 3. Paintjob? is it well taken care of? 4. Interior of the car? Is it clean? or are the stains possible to be removed? 5. Mileage? With digital ODO meters..its kinda hard to cheat i guess. Or do you want a new cars smell? QUOTE(kcng @ Jan 23 2007, 07:27 PM) should be more expensive hmmm is your friend getz 1.3 or 1.4??? If 1.3 sure FC is not that good.btw, just have a chat with my friend who has a getz according to him FC RM 80 - 400 kms i was like even civic 2.0 can do better QUOTE(garrodz @ Jan 23 2007, 09:07 PM) hmm the spareparts availability for korean cars is definitely not a problem, just that you might not get an option to choose either original parts or cheaper replacements. And ofcourse the original parts is quite costy Is it very costly to maintenance point of view on Korean car??Added on January 29, 2007, 10:56 pmHi guys is it worth to buy a getz 1.4 CBU at 57K but 2005 stock?? any problem on getting older stock car??
