Well guys, I guess it's time to bid farewell to the BRV.

Went to Carsome:-
Nov 2017 registered car, 128k mileage, fully serviced at Honda service center - a some dents here and there, damaged skirting on driver side, bumpers.

Carsome offer RM40k outright. Dunno if I should proceed for the auction option or spend some money to fix it up and then sell it myself.

Bidding comes up to RM42k, have to give answer whether to sell or not by tomorrow.

These two listings for E-spec (obviously dents & issues fixed up) is >RM56k.

So assuming I spend RM2k to fix up my BRV, and sell it at RM50k reasonable ka?

1. Can't comment much on reliability, depends on how the previous owner(s) treated the car - I sold BRV soon after 5th year, but in those 5 yrs can consider a good workhorse, not much trouble but can sense CVT start to not be so smooth 4th year onwards. Even after service transmission, improved a bit then go back same issue. Didn't experience the steering rack issue famous on other Honda models.

2. Long distance ok, but my main issue was the NVH causing me to tire easily and easily doze off behind the wheel, this problem went away (mostly) when I switched to another car. This issue I think is also driver dependent - my partner can drive longer in the BRV before getting tired.

3. Dunno, all things do at Honda service centre except change battery & tyres.
