Guys, I am looking to buy a used car and Inspira is one of those in my radar (drove once, really liked it), just curious whats the approximate running cost of this car? As in the cost of major/minor services for a 4~5 years car.

And whether it's worth considering at all.

Well my budget for my coming car is 40~50k, be it new or used, maintenance budget would be around 1k per 10k mileage (which is probably going to last me a little less than half a year) and assuming nothing major broke down. Not sure if this would suffice so I am asking here just in case, if it is not enough I might just drop it until I can actually afford a fake inspira which happens to be my dream car.

I did test drove a lot of other cars in the price range, both city and vios, used, both fall a little short for my taste, even the new Persona drives better than both of them and the persona is new, Bezza was the worst car I drove in the price range, but it's new, like the Persona. I am looking for something less than 5 years if I am buying used but for that price Inspira seems like a bargain, plus I kinda likes it unlike the Preve, which is not a bad drive, but my uncle's have a lot of problem with his.

Wow, that's actually not that expensive so it's good news for me.

May I know where do you source your parts?

Anyway, I am not in rush of buying the car yet, maybe early next year when my sis is graduating so I can throw my current car to her while waiting the age count of current cars to increase by 1 and hopefully drive down the price by a few thousands.

Hello guys, I am now looking to buy an Inspira, is there any common problem that I should look out for? Like a checklist or something.

Of course, it's been more than 5 years now, just the time when the cars are still pretty good in condition and relatively cheap.

It's probably not even that, I have tested the preve and the old persona with the inspira, and preve and the old persona's handling is just better for me, all stock.

Proton's handling is great IMO, and it's probably the only thing that they have going consistently (whatever name they call it, proton or lotus), but Inspira is just not one of them.

Looks like I need this as well, considering my car now looks like this the bottom.

Probably need to go Shah Alam then?

All 3 SC near my house didn't have this thing, and one of them even recommended me to find this from mitsubishi parts seller, which I know at least the front one won't fit without some cutting.

Yes there is. I remember paying 220 for a cvt filter and 84 for a cvt cooler filter.

How should I buy parts from Proton? Their sc? Because the sc near my house always direct me to a spare parts store nearby or ask me to go buy at Shah Alam…

The part you mentioned is CVT cooler filter, CVT filter is a different thing.

You're looking at an evo bro, not just a Lancer.

Yes you can, saw someone selling for like 30 or 50

That's some extra work, IIRC the key are glued to the shell.

I had my new key made recently, they're a bit tighter but became much better after several months

Hey guys, recently my front side marker bulb stop working regularly, had to take out the bulb and put back in firmly each time it happens.

I suspect that the socket is getting loose so the bulb is coming out after some time and is looking to replace the socket, however I couldn't find the places that sells this socket or the part number of it, does anyone here know?

Hm... wouldn't that block the contacts to the pins?

Welp, I'll try, for now though, I bent the pin a little bit and it seems to hold for now, I'll try this if that turns out to not work.
