very new car but so many disposing off

and price going less than 200k for a 300k+ car and less than 2 years old

https://www.carlist.my/cars-for-sale/merced...c350-e/malaysia

Battery Mahal bang..

x70 > C350e

how much is the battery>?

Many pipul misunderstand fuel saving with cost saving.

200k

Battery is a third of the car price.

People think can always curi letrik from TNB. Only fuel is cost

Fixed

40K ++

Whatever car brand it is, hybrids will always depreciate faster than petrol/diesel cars.

bukan sudah revise eh?

around 12K like that

Hybrids got poor value.

dafuq that expensive

mana sempat cari downline baru on time

owai

Wan to tunjuk kaya, then realise new battery cost more than RM40K [edit] (cash). Buying car is not the problem, maintaining it is for really kaya people. Even 40k cash these ppl also dun have, lagi want to buy C350E? For \k like 2 bulan gaji but many prefer mybi or bios, some say city pun cukup. [Edit]

2nd hand also ppl dun want to buy, unless RM100k and below can consider

SoS

REALLY?!?!

June when tax free eh time ask
they said 40+ K
after that i dont know

What's the warranty on mileage for new batteries for this model ? Must be extremely good batteries i guess, if it can cost up to a third of the price of a new vehicle.

that price was quote on june last year when tax free. i am not sure now

hybrid for ppl oni use for 3 yrs and sell when battery is at half its life cycle. If u take loan, u have to take max 4 or 5 yrs, need top up, else buy cash. If u wait till 5 years, then u will start incurring exorbitant charges not normal to usual car ownership...

in the end they found out boot space is not practical and also the battery replacement


so far worst hybrid boot space that i met = ford fusion hybrid

and many people misunderstood battery powered vehicles are environmental friendly and not generating CO2... they forgot their electricity came power plants where majority still burning fossil fuels

Not true, my CRZ more than 6 years now...no problems with batt or alternator, still give me burst of power when want to overtake 3-selies. If need change, Honda give me discount, 4k only instead of 6k.

All the petrol I save (2 weeks refills) is all I bother..

Then whoever buy must be very stupid. Basically you going to pay for the huge maintenance fee (coming your way).

Someone enjoy - wear and tear the car.
Another one buy 2nd hand and pay for damage?

I dont understand why people want to inherit the maintenance cost by buying second hand car.
Its cheaper, YES - but you will pay it back in maintenance which negate the saving.
If got cheated (many hidden wear and tear) and swapped (not ori) parts.

2nd hand car is not dirt cheap. It still cost a bomb and that come with the maintenance cost that come your way.
Unless you got the car from family that doing good maintenance.

power plant for most of their operation uses fuel gas - cheaper and higher MW load.
So its still consider saving to a lesser extent.

Fuel oil are nasty for power plant - lesser efficiency and fuel gas/oil changeover is not desirable - prone to trip/problem. TNB will rage.
So fuel gas is used most of the time.

My civic hybrid good till replace air con compressor. Jopefully inverter no prob thats rm15k...half price of my car 2nd hand value....but now reading this...feels better..

your crz is not a real 'hybrid'...nah just kidding...this is about 350e le...

The c class with the racing grill damn nice leh the front

C250 can consider, c350e runaway

why so special battery ?
hybrid ah?

German, need more TLC, manja type...

Jepunis, bang here, bang there, in the morning will still cook you breakfast and iron your clothes..

if all else fail just remove battery and put jepun engine

c250 is non hybrid right? heard so much problems too. a lot going on fire sales.

i wonder the reliability really that bad nowadays?

makes you wonder how long car company will support a particular battery model.
If they stop manufacturing the battery, then car is virtually obsolete with no resale value.
Go lowyat for car replacement battery?

the battery should be either 7 years or 9 years warranty, dont have to worry about changing battery

my fren bought a c350e..still relax aje

same goes to another relative tht got a e350e

i guess the difference if between can afford..and jst for show

battery extend warranty only lor ...

Power plants are more efficient in converting fuel to electricity, something the internal combustion engines cannot achieve.
So, the electric/hybrid cars are more environmentally friendly in this aspect. Their batteries are another story.

The W213 E300 Bluetec diesel also lost so much velu

You need to slap all the tesla drivers

Battery replacement need 120k, you say leh
For those buying second hand hybrid, especially, merc, bmw, Lexus, Audi
Pls think carefully before buying, yes, it is cheap, but if battery die, good luck

that's the bottom model la

Yeah right.
Can afford 300k car (on loan) definitely can pay 40k cash for battery replacement

MBM and its dealers have lots of stock, and I mean a lot of stocks C350E and E350E. They can offer your huge discounts for it. Reason for the huge discounts would be it being hard to sell. Reason for it being hard to sell, you have to figure it out yourself.

I think drive proton only la, safe hassle

not only that
my fren wented to ask since the e200 issue..and was told the wrranty extended from 5 to 7 yrs

so i guess at least there's some peace of mind with additional 2 yrs

Anyone can answer... ?

Can the c350e still function as normal car after the battery totally die and not function...
Petrol engine gives 211hp and 75hp from electric. Assuming battery gone, car still at 211hp?

If battery is not a must for the car to function, then we can just drive as regular non hybrid once the battery die...

not really

hybrid system also linked to the brakes

cannot just deduce petrol engine propels car just fine without additional output from electric motor

then if hybrid system battery went faulty, just isolate it from operating, depend solely on petrol engine

car would probably go into a "severe" mode and not move at all


these hybrid systems are integrated so well and complicated, the car can run an electric only range, or petrol engine only to charge the battery

but once it's faulty, it cant just rely on one source of power

dunno about c350e but e350e comes with 8 years battery waranty

and the car have mode u can choose. for hybrid and eco the batt is in use but theres mode that only engine in use also mode that fuel engine + elect motor combine to give best power output.

Conti car.
You know why.

At least there's the option of generating electricity from renewable sources, whereas fossil fuels are fossil fuels.

Buy and just change it to 1jz turbosssssss solve problems

another hybrid. should be over 4 years waranty still intact. new from 282k last time.

wow

now alot more people can gaya

w202 best

Wah so cheap

Not enuff electric charger on the road...not convenient and cannot show off parking in car park

Economy not good, C350e luxury car expensive maintenance.

What the benefit of hybrid on a luxury car?
Clearly oil price is not an issue if u can afford this kinda car

Instant torque from electric power.

Really? So hybrid pickup better than normal car.

Quiet when car only running EV mode.

This model is running a hybrid battery and electric as well. Correct?

This picture taken is c350e?

Is look like udi A6 hybrid?

I am interested to know the issues. Is it the hybrid battery only? Replacement cost etc?

Why the rich ktards here don’t value their life at all? Do they even know what will happen to their body if they get involved in an accident with those milo tin cars?

If can afford to maintain an old conti car, please buy one second hand for less than the price of a new Myvi. Your safety is more important than saving a few bucks on maintenance.

Merc boot for hybrid is 2 tier unlike bmw, volvo or honda. Very mah fan when put big luggage bag. Battery is at back and below rear seat.

Same thing I asked my wife 12 years ago. She was driving myvi like her other low level staff and they even mistaken her for one of them when she first joined until they realized her management position. I told her I don’t feel safe when she brings our baby in her car and I showed her how small the disc brakes were..plus photos of wrecked myvis on the road.

you must be deluded if you think old conti maintenance is "a few bucks". any thing goes wrong will easily cost 4 figures to fix, not to mention waiting days or even weeks for diagnosis/parts delivery/repairs. better stick to watches and keep silent on topics that you are ignorant about .

never think ahead
mau beli merc semata2 lagak ego + pickup amoi
tapi expensive maintain la
prolly amoi oso ran away another guy driving lembu/fellali
so, sell lo

Lol. I am driving an E87 and E90 M3 myself, plus a W205.

4 figures to fix? That’s normal for conti cars. Lol. Even oil and filter change is RM2XXX.

But an old conti car is cheaper to maintain than a new one. Much cheaper. So much so that it’s an affordable expenditure for most millionaires.

This post has been edited by friedricetheman: Apr 17 2021, 10:30 PM

still much more expensive than maintanining a myvi tho

lol, he already say rich ppl mar, why u still compare with myvi? i agree with him that older conti cars are cheaper to maintain because the technology is older, less fancy stuffs and sensors

I was referring to rich ktards. Everyone here all boast about earning 20k a month lah. Have a few millions in the bank lah.

So, what is a few thousand every 3 months or so on servicing for the 20k a month ktards?

That’s right. It’s spare change.

what do you do for a living

Nothing special.

I am an office rat.

Battery tak mampu milik

Sebijik kes Audi A6 Hybrid...*puke*

hybrid conti not for human buy one

"richness" is relative. but still I must insist to contradict both of you

2nd hand conti is much more expensive to maintain compared to myvi . why? because myvi is under warranty while your E87 and E90 are not. lack of modern electronics notwithstanding, friedricetheman can you share with us the approximate cost of chassis parts, engine parts, ecu, , filters and such?

, of course la myvi lower maintenance than contis even those old contis, but now we are talking about rich ppl, will rich ppl buy myvi just because the maintenance is one of the lowest? they can afford to spend few thousands for minor service instead of rm100-200+ per service for perodua cars, so why are u putting myvi into the comparison? , ppl talking about old conti vs new conti cars maintenance and u suddenly go compare with myvi? dafak?

very good point raised by steady bro to you mister friedricetheman.

care to share with us why you suddenly go compare with myvi? dafak? why would you even think of comparing an old conti with a myvi? are you mentally deranged ?

Most ktards boast on a monthly basis that rich people drive proton and Myvi to be low profile. Only heavily in debt sohais drive conti cars.

I am just saying that rich people don’t even want to drive a death trap encased in a milo tin. They rather drive a solid older car like an old C200 or BMW 3 series.

I didn’t make that comparison. Ktards who earn 20k a month are boasting about driving cheap cars almost on a monthly basis.

E90 m3 nice.
Can bring me one round? 😬

dont generalize your own personal opinion to all other rich people . you are an old fart who "supposedly " already owns 20 year old bmws from way back. do you even have experience maintaining your own cars? can you share with me which conti workshops you frequent? can you clarify on which chop shop you source for spare parts, or how long is the lead time?

because i can tell you for a fact , and i seem to be repeating myself, that old cars do experience frequenet problems, which will take days if not weeks to diagnose , wait for parts, and perform the actual repairs. you seem unable to grasp the finer details of maintaining old cars, this suggests to me that you are blowing hot air.

bottom line is this - a high earner in his 30s may well choose to drive a brand new cheap car instead of an old conti, because the new cheap car has advanced safety features, plus gives peace of mind due to manufracture support & warranty. and he/she would be perfectly justified in doing so.

Huge INSTANT torque boost that turbo can't match.
Turbo needs time to spool.

Lol, and now you know why electric cars are failures..

come replace battery time, your car value will plunge off a cliff..

no problem if you supercharge

Very true.

Kan dh cakap conti kena hybrid japs heart ..stuff a 2jz on that machine is enuf to save u hassle

i waitin for 2nd hand x50

Yeh kinda agree with you.
There's two types of higher earner in 30s. One will pick brand new car loaded with safety feature, another will pick used conti merc/bmw.
For the later, their mindset is merc/bmw even used, carries a higher perception of success than Civic/Altis with featured pack safety.

then your dashboard meter will be full of rainbow light due to engine transplant

Muahahahahha ...full set defi meter enuf blink blink

wow..every year depreciate 50K

Keep waiting unless accident punya got, in yellow.

battery rm60000 i last checked

now got extended 2 years mercedes warranty (cost RM8000)

the run Flat tires are jokes laaaa.... changed many times... other than that quite ok

and battery starting to get weak after almost 4 years

definitely going to sell after 6 years
