Which i believe is very prudent! As other forum members mentioned, one really has to take a good look at the car. It may not be good, but if it can take you from point A to B without much hassle, by all means go for it. Use the money you save to invest or save up for a better car later one when the price crash! It's coming smile.gif

Anyone here has bought a bargain second-hand car at real cheap prices..say below RM5000?

How was the car's condition like? Did you spend a lot for repairs? 

What car ?

I bought a 1991 Daihatsu Aura costing RM 5.500 from my uncle last year. The car is in very good condition. I'm very lucky because my uncle maintained the car very well. He always change the motor oil every 5,000 KM religiously... smile.gif

My advice to anyone who want to buy cheap used car is to buy from someone that you know...and trust...

Can get kancil 660M '95-96 5speed for 4-5k. Mine was sold for 4k to used car dealer with a new aircon setup, a new set of 4xbridgestones, basically not much problem except a clearcoat-failure boot paint and a dented front left door but both were sprayed with those clear spray paint in tins, therefore no rust tongue.gif

RM5k... Aiya, 3 months late... I sold my Iswara 1.5MPi(A) (UK-spec) 1995 for RM5,800 only. Repairs?

Just Alignment and balancing... But eating engine oil. Need top overhaul. (Pity next owner) coz what I did, I just top up engine oil every 10 days.

Bought for RM32000 back in 2000, after 8 years = RM5800... But my car's not full spec. That would be "PROTON CARES" (93)... RM5k can get...

Else, can get CITROEN ZX 2.0i for RM5k. 1996 model. SUperb confort and ride/handling. Parts aplenty as it's used as TAXIs in China.

4. Alignment and balancing
5. Regular service at 5000 without miss
6. Wiper blades
7. Double layered windscreen
8. Alarm system with auto lock when car moves.
9. Petrol fuel filter


Parts changed since 2006:
1. Steering handle changed
2. Radiator changed
3. Air cond condenser
4. Front left and right axle
5. Wheel bearings (front and rear)
6. Alternator
7. Battery (generally last 3 to 5 years)

Last month I helped my cousin to purchased a 1981 Honda Accord 1.6L for RM1,800. user posted image

It needs some restoration on its paintwork & good sets of wheels+tyres. Other than that, engine is running perfectly smooth & clean as well. 1st owner from year 1981 until now (2008) then sold to my cousin. My cousin has a project plan for this Accord. brows.gif icon_idea.gif
