Hi all sifu in cars.. im currently thinking to change my car. Am thinking to get either bmw x1 or mercedes gla .. bt.. am not quite sure which is better?.

I wud need this to ferry my family as in my kids n parents.. budget wise, ive actually enquired brand new bmwx1 yr 2020 (with the tax holiday) is at rm203k.. i din check out mercedes yet bt i see online its about rm200k

Am also thinking to buy new or 2nd hand.. new will have guarantee for 5 yrs, if buy 2nd hand like if can find yr 2019 still can have guarantee for 4 yrs.. seems good deal aso??.

Am gonna go to auto bavaria tmrw to check out their 2nd hand range.. my dad friend jz purchased his 2nd hand 3 series was very satisfied..

On the other hand, if i were to go with japanese car like crv o cx5 not exactly my dream car bt i cud get it new and wud have more cash in hand (no need to pay so much installment)..

So whats d advice?.. im so confused myself also. Am not in desperate neeeed to change bt my current car is serving me 8 yrs d. Actually still good and can move frm 1 place to another lah. Bt u know.. its 8 yrs d..

Also i am very careful when driving which means i dun like to keep changing cars cuz the estimation on parking and all have to adjust .. so which one can last me long long long time. Like my current japanese brand car can tahan so long..

Actually whats the maintenance cost range for tht bmw x1?.. any idea?..

Ok so i went to test drive the x1 today.. honestly ive test drive both crv and x1.. hehe im rili not into cars so i felt both cars driving experience so so.. as for gla i havent test drive bt i see those youtube review it says its smaller compared to x1..

Generally i go to work come home .. so my 8yr car mileage is currently at 140k..

Jz now went to auto bavaria at ara damansara to test drive.. the sales person did intro used x1 2017 (2.0L) pricing at rm140k.. still can nego to go lower.. so im quite impressed at auto bavaria pre owned cuz they were mentioning that they do 360 inspection for those pre owned and put us at ease tht those are thoroughly checked by authorized auto bavaria ppl..

Ok ive seen some suggestions on lexus .. can i ask lexus what model?.. i did try to google prvely bt seems like all lexys suv very2 expensive way outta my budget.

If look into lexus.. lexus which model ya?..

Well the SA din rili giv me a confirmed rebate besides saying she need to ask her boss can giv this or tht.. so cud be free tint.. additional 1% discount on top of the corp doscount tht they can giv which is at 4%

anyway my dad friend he got goodies such as 4 new tyres free from auto bavaria.. heard tht 1 tyre is rm1k.. so savings of 4k there already..

additional 1% discount on the car he purchasing (3 series)..
