for sure bmw n mini provide FREE end of warranty checks and fixes... others dunno

alternately you PAY for a thorough inspection and request faulty items to be replaced under warranty

I don’t mind paying, especially for the last of the non-hybrid 911 GTS (I’m so glad I made the right call)

you baby your 911 so much... its probably still like new after 7 yrs

i drove my bmw hard... after warranty done only then i baby her... hahaha

583km on the odometer only …. It’s not that I baby it. It’s that my wife hates it and refuses to get in it with me. She prefers the Cayenne’s air suspension comfort.

i think these merc is 3 yr warranty?

make sure mileage hasn't been tampered... if real mileage has exceeded warranty you gg...

330e will drive better than cla200... but i would seriously look at cla250 instead...

Is this the old CLA or new (present generation) CLA?

The new one is a much better drive than the old, and IMHO looks better too

Okay, add another model cla250. Haha. All of them are under 100k used.

2015 cla200
2015 cla250, I browsed through carlist and saw one still have warranty until 2027. A bit on the warranty part.
2018/2019 330e, need to make sure can do the end of year warranty claim.

Ah, ok. Thanks for the clarification on the CLA.

it will repeat the same thing TS, want lesser problem then buy new..
You buy an old car for sure wear and tear and replacement of part is needed.
Unless you buy a car like 3 years then you might able to enjoy problem free for first 2 year unless the previous owner did not take care well.
These drivc train and battery issue i believe not easy to diagnose.
leaking yes if its major, but as you said you used a few month only saw the leaking.

old cla... M'sia stopped bringing new cla models... got only a and c class

used car sellers all tamper mileage one... be very cautious also listings mostly cut n paste... but anyways one has to start somewhere...

as for bmw... can also consider 330i while you are at it... i think its ok also if previously done end of warranty claim, then you know car is local n just 'refreshed'...

anyways good luck... buyers market now... lowball the sellers...

whats your 911 shoe size... 20" staggered?

20” front
21” rear

Here’s the full write up:

Front: 8.5 J x 20 ET 50 with 245/35 ZR 20 tyres
Rear: 11.5 J x 21 ET 79 with 315/30 ZR 21 tyres

The rear tires are PHAT mang…

Dont always think new must be lesser problem, there is a term knew as lemon car. Buying a car new or even used also sometimes depends on luck and the model your getting. My family bought new & used car before, some used like the BMW e90 320d really lucky and not much issue over the years of ownership. While previous ride Hyundai Atos really sucks (Sold it after 5 years) even bought new.

I think the problem is because you're buying 330e instead of i, my mechanic always told me to avoid those PHEV since you need to fix 2 types of machines instead of one. Especially battery which for sure would degrade over time, but all in all 10k shouldn't be that much of problem considering the price of the car when new is almost 300k this is still consider a bargain, I guess? I read before replacing all the batteries cell would cost at least 25k for 330e, if you're buying car not for joyride, I think better sell the car and get something more suitable for day to day use within that price, maybe a new car like VIOS which is more reliable? or even secondhand Accord/Camry? Or if you still want to get a BMW maybe 330i would be a better option, I'm about to suggest diesel BMW previously since Europe diesel is actually one of the best but with the current price of fuel it's not that worth it, but when 95 increase maybe the only option left would be get yourself an EV?

Europe car actually champion in Diesel because that's what most of them use in the Europe.

sell it off and get a japanese car.
My mom sold of her BM after tired of fixing this and that almost every month.
Workshop owner become her best friend.
After that she get a Honda. never visit workshop ever since except regular service.

The car that killed my BMW appetite was ironically my first and last M car. My F13 M6… workshop queen.

ouch... i can feel every gravel... lol...

i too find myself going for comfort nowadays but trying not to sacrificing too much driving pleasure... 17" & 18" are my sweet spots for now...

Choose thickness of 45 as lowest for comfort. Thickness of 40 can felt hard, own car 235/45/18

i know, but for new those wear and tear problem are more unlikely to happen.
320d is robust and its considered last one which offered here since no more diesel model after 320d.
