Hi guys, planning to buy a car but not sure which one to go. Any advice? I have two choices in my mine now which is Getz 1.4 new car VS Honda City IDSI second hand (2005 facelift).

Getz is around 60K with 3% interest
City is around 68K duno what is the interest rate for 2nd hand car.

if u are young, go for Getz 1.4 - new car have less problem and stand for longer time, Getz 1.4 quite sportive also.

over 30 then can consider the city as city tend to bring profession image to you but just remember to shop for best deal

I'm 23, kinda like both car biggrin.gif just don't which one to go. Anyway how about in the point of view on performance side?

What you mean on "shop for best deal"

performance side, erm... i can judge much as i not experience on this two car. i scare mis-lead u. i think other ppl can do better that me...

But "shop for best deal", u should know different 2nd car shop can giv ur diff result. U should well research when buying 2nd car as diff dealer can offer diff price while diff car condition also. well plan and well research, dude

the new Getz 1.4 w/ bodykit is very nice...and Honda car is a realible car too...
if im u i will go for new car definitely....but i like honda cars...
my advise is if u pay more or have more cash then go for the City...if u loan longer time thn go for Getz...

both car also great in terms of peformance...i drive both car before...believe me... the Getz 1.4 manual is powerful.. smile.gif  the City idsi is not as powerful as the V-TEC version...but since i drive the manual Getz 1.4 so i can't compare both car as the City comes in auto transmission...

but then let me remind u tat City is fuel efficient..but then its a 2nd car n the condition depends on how the owner take care of that car..  cool2.gif

rclxms.gif agree, if you add the bodykit sure looks very nice. Well I'll go for 7 years loan, any idea how high was the interest rate for 2nd hands car?

So for how you felt on the getz 1.4? your is ckd or cbu?

Bro... My suggestion is go for city...
Since it is 2005 facelift wuite new... Can be consired as a new car too...

From every aspect the city is better than getz... no need to compare...
Vtec engine somemore no need to talk... Younger look for aged 23 plus sporty... better image too... haha...

In terms of second hand value... Hyundai car is very low...
Honda will have more second hand value...
Parts are easier to find...
60K++ for new facelift quite reasonable...
Dun think... Go for it... Haha... Cheers...

New or not I'm not too sure because never saw the car yet (still planning tongue.gif ), just found someone selling city idsi at motortrader. Can't really find any 2nd hand city vtec around.

well is 68K for second hand car worr? what you think of it? Yeap i hear that 2nd hand market for hyundai was low, but how about 3rd hand honda city blink.gif

I think still can nego la.. New facelift 68k quite ok lo... If old facelift a bit expensive la..
I advice u be consider more on second hand value lo... Coz u will sell ur car 1 day... U wont use this car forever right? Hehe...
It doesnt matter of how many hand, the value is still there...
The second hand price is fix in market...So dun worry about that...

Just worry about to find a good condition second hand honda city...

there is a downside to second hand cars tho,

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.

You got the point man, who know what the oner done with the car before..... blink.gif

I would say theres a few factors to consider when having a 2nd hand 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? tongue.gif

Agree with you, I don't like smoker also (but i respect them). Also we might know why they sell their's car?

QUOTE(kcng @ Jan 23 2007, 07:27 PM)
should be more expensive

btw, just have a chat with my friend who has a getz
according to him FC
RM 80 - 400 kms

i was like blink.gif
even civic 2.0 can do better
*
hmmm is your friend getz 1.3 or 1.4??? If 1.3 sure FC is not that good.

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 smile.gif

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?? hmm.gif
