Guess right or wrong?

Wah! this one confirm ah? thot that only Vtec units got the steermatic.. now im all out to buy a 3rd gen i-dsi city

Lol! welcome to the MYclub! hahah future 2nd hand CT owners!   

im also planning to get the 2004 nighthawk black CT... but im settling for an i-dsi... me oso tight budget maa.. dun want to eat pasir every mth paying for high monthly installments for me car   

Whats the price range of a 04 vtec CT ah? did any survey?

yeah.. just 88bhp.. but.. but.. fuel consumption is better thats my point!

but really man, if i got a little more budget, surely i go for vtec.. no compromise.

one thing i like abt honda is that they dont treat their lower line models so cheap, like other makes.. frm what i know, the only main diff for 3rd gen CT is just only the Vtec engine, rims, disc brakes, cd/mp3 player (correct me if im wrong). they really dont cut out on the 'important' stuff like a/bags and abs.. summore the 3rd gen oso hv steermatic as u said..

so if u prefer an idsi (like me  ) you wont be feeling left out like driving a 'cheapest' honda CT.. imho laa...

Get a good check on the CVT gearbox before you place your money on it. Many sold off City just because of the CVT starting to have problems.

At kuching, mostly we go honda punya showroom there ask for 2nd hand car. las time i asked a AUG 04 city idsi gen3, for 58k.
then me n my dad do comparison la, the new 1 and old 1, old is 3.98% new 1 is 2.28%. actually u pay abit more n loan more 2 years u can use new car, so decided buy new car loh. Now waiting for nighthawk black.. haha.. i think la.. u loan for around that price for juz more 2 years, u get 2 drive a new car, would have a better 2nd hand value. Dat's wat i think la.. correct me if i'm wrong. u never know when u kenak toto and change car one.. haha..
old 1 is loan 5 years, new is 7 years.

so if you buy a 55K 2nd City.. expect that you are paying 60-65K lorr? ... darn.. seems like buying a new car a lot more worthy...

really worried now..

hey to all CITY enthusiasts.. can share with us soon to be owners any common problems you face with your CT??

yes, the interest is killing, else i also will choose second hand car and the money save from interest can use for maintenance ...

actually most important ur budget, last time i count already, old and new car monthly loan installement only different RM100++ ... 

why not just buy a new 4th Gen? 4th Gen I-dsi still got steermatic.. only the new FL dont got one... interest at 2.1% sumore..

if u have to stretch your loan all the way to 9years, you're paying way too much for interests and it also just means that it's not feasible for your financial situation to purchase.

i dunno la...
now when i put to D, and press the gas, its sort of lag before moving... and there is a slight jerk to the car before moving....

usually before this, just masuk D and tekan gas, jalan smoothly...


SC could not detect any issue with the CVT...

Just back frm another City testdrv... I got a deal on this 2004 idsi CT, with mileage only 20,810km!! with complete honda service records (last service July 2007), smooth flawless engine, for RM57800... is this a reasonable price?? but this one silver loorrr... nice plate no too W** 9966 what you guys think??

Financier: Hong Leong Bank

Interest rate (7yrs): 3.4-3.5% (max)

Inspection fees (Puspakom + Finance inspection): RM200

Change ownership fees: RM400

Processing fees (finance-dealer): RM450

For insurance, my NCD is 0 coz b4 this using xtra family car only, so this is my 1st car insurance: RM1800+-

So you need extra RM2K la to actual selling price...
dunno the actual fees price range.. but are these fees to expensive???

if you are buying in northern part, i can intro you to a better deal of car price

interest rate depends on how much you want to loan from bank and also which bank you are loaning from

give me an estimation of how much you wanna loan from bank and i can roughly give you the interest rate

As for a poor earning man like me.. just got my 2nd hand 3gen city yesterday.. and one thing i can say.. the city is a damn great ride.. feels far better than my brother's vios! just love accelerating using the 7speed manual at traffic lights

Got a sweet ICE upgrade the same day.. as for exterior looks, planning to start off with a spoiler.. any suggestions on which type of spoiler to use?
