oem parts like gates on par with proton ori. no say proton is better.

unless u are the type of owner who want only proton ori parts in their car.

if proton ori parts still cheaper do outside.sc labour expensive.

sell to used car dealer = price low but everyhing will be done by them.
sell directly = price higher but everythink have to be done by yourself (change ownership etc)

search motor trader around 28k price. but that is used-car dealer market price already.

maybe can try luck around 16k at mudah?

inb4 coolkwc ask used car dealer 2010 blm only 3.5k  whistling.gif

p/s: try check price at mudah or can ask carsome.

So low? My saga sv 2013 was quoted 12k in December 2018 when was able to buy a new car. At the end didn't buy because felt too low as outside selling 16k. Ended up give family to drive

told you already what.

used car buy your car rm10k, then they sell rm18k. normal.

proton car resell value is low ma.

the rm10k price is the price you sell or the used car buy, not market price. know the difference.

the price in the motor trade is market price.

if you sell rm18k direct buyer also no one wil buy from you.
*
If sell on Carsome maybe 12-13. But resell value low is reality

What do you expect?, The original price of the car was between rm34k to rm37k.

Lol Proton vs Perodua is huge difference. Saga 2013 original 34k sell for 10k. Viva elite 2011 still 13k. That's the difference

so what car you want to buy?

ok la proton resell value low, in trade for cheap maintenance, cheap parts.

ada you complain fuel pump rosak, gearbox rosak unlike maibee?

yalor time when want to buy car want cheap price. say proton is ok, then time want to sell, complain resell value low.

tarak complain cheap pay loan monthly, tarak complain pump cheap petrol 95, this and that lol.

cukur la with proton cars you learn alot about cars and stuff.

Just sell and not buying car. When buy the car expect to be on par with perodua although most of the ppl around me advised me don't buy. But no sedan at that time because bezza released after a year. It's okay. Lesson learned. - engine jerking, engine very noisy (although service at proton sc for 6 years), sometimes cannot stop needed to wait 3 mins, power windows sometimes not working + although it's life time warranty, absorber also got sound ngek ngek.

sorry to hear that. there is love and hate about proton cars, like saga itself.

imo, there is sonething bezze also cannot beat saga, like aircond and proton ride and handling.

and personally, i see perodua also not superior nowadays.

btw, fyi had made my 2011 proton saga fl car even better and cooler from my perspective, so i am very proud with my proton.

new headlamps, changed rear bumper with paint, LED rear number plate, LED T10 parking light, LED cabin light, UR FSB, UR RSB, full soundproofing, new yoko es32, repaired aircond, new tint.
others are normal brake pads with stock factory, stock 13" steel rims,

had change different brand of engine oils,  1-2 brand of gearbox oil (now stick with my fav), tyre brands.

ps: yeh i proud of my saga.

I don't modify car and do not understand about it. For me,. A car is for point A to point B. I just want a car that serves my purpose. If asked me to add other things, I would rather upgrade the whole car to different models. Proton serves my purpose but too many negative.

PS. I have compared a few cars. Kancil, Proton Saga BLM, Saga CVT. myvi 2nd gen. Viva. Unfortunately, Proton Saga SV and BLM are not giving me best experience except the boot space LOL

And I just purely said my comments. Don't need to feel offended Because everyone can voice their comments. I can even showed u my proton if u doubt that I'm the owner. Only 6th years and I've forced to sell I have myvi 2nd gen that 5.5 years. The engine also not so noisy. Lol. oh ya. My cars all service at SC Even after 5 years. So don't shoot me saying I don't service my car. LOL

Go check carlist.my.

2013 Saga SV fetching an average of RM15k from dealerships. 2013 Viva Elite facelift fetching an average of RM19k from dealerships.

Bear in mind when new, Viva Elite was RM45k, almost 10k more expensive than the equivalent Saga SV.

Yes. I checked on carlist. Only 13-14k. So sad

How much you bought your Viva Elite previously? Perodua car new price cost more mah.. hahaha
This i have to agree with you, if you want it to be silent like new, changed whatever needed, IAFM got sound, change, tensioner bearing got sound, change, CPV got sound, change, engine mountings kaput, change... dont wait, else the car sound like lorry ad.. you will get fed up with it....
Viva to be honest the moment i close the door my ex-coll viva sx 1000, i pantang viva d although its engine is quieter...lol....
Saga FLX do have its down side, fuel economy, less zoom zoom drive, NVH, ciplak major rubber parts, ciplak IAFM, back seat cannot flip down, no isofix, the brake heat up fast with full load going down Genting, interior plastic less solid, etc etc____________fill in the blanks yourself
The things that good is cheaper price, with bigger boot, better handlings, flx exec & 1.6se come with ABS brake

For those aging Saga and owner still wanna keep it, to cheer up the ride, i would recommend them to do basic soundproof on 4-doors (DIY also can, cost less than rm100), new tinted, check your car IAFM, Engine bay 4-points mounting and tensioner bearing. This make the ride still consider enjoyable (not so sad...lol....)
yeah, H7 12V 55W for both high and low beam, i currently use Bosch normal bulb, cost me RM15-20 at spare part shop per piece
I think need to make appointment with service centre to install the top tether thing last time info. Have you call up Proton SC?
*
Just my POV after compared both p1 p2. I didn't listen to majority of ppl around me and gave p1 a chance. And now I was forced to sell my car due to too many things to change and only. 6th years. If count all these. The costs might be approaching Viva d. And yet 6 vs 9 years the price lower. Good things I can say is about the boot and stability (heavy). Other than that. I could recalled. And recently can't even start although battery and starter and alternator just changed. Lol.

yup, Viva has less small issue here there.
like i said rubber stuff for Saga like engine mountings and bushes aint lasting.

IAFM need no to mention, rubbish reliability..  ranting.gif  hahaha...
Ur starter so fast kaput? only 6y... shocking.gif
cannot start as in engine doesnt crank at all or crank but wouldnt get alive ?

Anyway,  the good thing is u get a "big" car with boot at 10k less compare Viva Elite full spec i presume.
throw a few hard corners at Saga it still can handle well for a cheap car
In the event of accident, there is more crumble zone for a Saga which basically made it so much heavier..
To compare with Bezza, Bezza is lighter by around 120kg, which to make up car dimension and chassis rigidity for Saga

Perodua cars good at fuel economy, light-weightness which contribute to zoom zoom city acceleration, better build quality (less minor fix&repair) and high RV..  whistling.gif

You should had ur mind-prepared that Proton car RV aint good when you signed and paid to purchase ur Saga 6 years back which is a fact for years.....
*
The battery just changed and my service all follow proton schedule.and 6 years service in proton sc. Lol. So sometimes cannot start.need to wait 3 mins.

Anyway, I've prepared my mind for this proton. For example - power windows, jerking engine, dashboard noisy and high FC. But other small issues really out of expectations.

Apart from large trunk boot, another thing satisfied is air cond is cold. Other than that. Full tank only can drive 300km. Lol.
