topup a bit got myvi

yea.. we got a myvi but found that not suitable to go far

as we usually travel in a family

You troll or what?

janji bukan honda, oh waiiii

VW cannot go far also. Literally.

??

Insurance to cover engine and warranty? What have I missed these few years until insurance also so advanced already?

ehh.. why? XD i thought 2.0 cars okay to travel?

Unless TS wanna make stop at every workshop along the way.

as from what i know and asked

some dealer provide 1 year warranty for gearbox
later on we can renew the insurance ourselves yearly

but 10 years old above can only claim 70% , below 10 years old can claim 100% if applicable

meaning that VW not a good car? still researching huhu

inb4 ts bodo.

And need to cover gearbox. Then make sure wire harness also.

be prepared with 20k in bank account just incase of repairs.

??

Yes, now got insurance to cover warranty.. look for GMR insurance..

where video of new passat gearbox hangus otw up camerons?

Don’t listen to those idiots , just go ahead and buy, vw cars are very fun to drive, u won’t regret after owning one.

do you have any idea how much is the maintenance fee? huhu

Maybe better to just get a used accord or camry.

Yup, best advice, there will be some wear and tear parts to be change, but nothing to get an extra credit card for.

When you ask such question this means your are not there yet. Cannot afford, worry.
just buy a better car like a Japanese car.

is ur house and office have vw workshop nearby, like 30 steps far?

if yes, then buy

Just buy bro. Later got problem open threads here..

At least we can troll..opss at least we can comfort u.

teh hek wanna consider a 2011 car, and a friggin Passat summore?

At least consider the B8 Passat laa -- 2 to 3-yr old at max.

The 2.0L version is no joke, you will never settle for any slower car after this

Mampu beli tak semestinya mampu maintain

8 year old car..... d segment car...

wow.. just wow..

i don care which brand...

Buy je, YOLO

At least insurance cover free tow truck services.

I own a 2.0 and used to own a 1.8. Nothing happened to my car.

The 2.0 has no problems at all. The people who say otherwise have never own it but just listened to rumors.

Bro...u buy 8 year old conti....it's good because it's definitely cheaper. Owner already absorb all the hit.


But jokes aside ....if breakdown ...one time give u parang. I would look elsewhere if reliability is your priority. If fun is..then go for it.



Remind me of my dad alfasud. He loved it so much....fan spoil...engine overheated.....etc . I remember we family in the car ...and it was raining...one liter bottle finish...he had to collect rain water because whole family stuck middle of nowhere......sweet memories

Later Visit Workshops more than shopping malls

What is ur budget actually?

2nd hand passat resale value is super low. which actually makes it a interesting option. its equivalent to a camry or accord. depends on your luck whether it requires much maintenance.

Just buy any japs d segments la. Ease of mind. Ask yourself, you want to spend money to travel with your family or spend money on repairing your car?

Very Worried

ggwp

just go for it.
People rm1300 also can afford VW already. U takut apa. hahaha

Wait passat 2.0 year 2011?

Passat cc?

Ur salary 1300?

Golf GTI Power. But with more leg room and boot space.

no 2nd hand for VW lah, first hand also people sked..

few months after the car launch, can see so many on the roads. years later no more. even wira can be seen anywhere till now.

For 2011 just get Accord. Kind of cheap now around RM40k.

hahahah. wtf does it actually cover then? everything also exclude.

2nd hand VW.. fuuu...

TS is really brave to buy a 10 year old VW

How many 10 year old VW do you see on the road on a daily basis and also how many 15 years old VW do you see

As comparison its normal to see 10 to 20 years old Japanese or BMW and Mercedes but such old VW are very rare

There must be a reason

Proton wira or gen 2 better

This one how old?

Wanted to say save for the beetle or perhaps the golf

Go ahead and buy it. Get a car inspection for accidents/potential engine problems.

But more wear and tear for 10 year old car, especially conti. Service outside cheaper. Wet clutch is more long-lasting but all dual clutch mechatronic (not just VW) isn't as lasting as torque converter gearboxes.

My mom used Passat i cant remember the mfg year but the first few CBU units when they were 185k.My brother used to have Jetta and Polo GTI. In term if reliability its better than may father's 5 series and 3 series. Driving is smoother than 3 series. Bootspace is massive. Sold for less than 50k after 5 years. Main issue is the DSG. I cant remember which one but either dry clutch or wet clutch is not reliable. Get ready to set aside 2.5%~5% of the current value of the car monthly to be ready for maintenance cost.
