Thank you.

You get what you pay. A lot of these cars either very old, problematic, accident or flood units, better get a mechanic to drop by check the car condition before purchase.

Generally would try to stay within 10 year old cars.
Unless find older one really well maintained.
At below 10K, mostly only Saga.

With 7K budget you are looking at 10-20 years old hence repair cost might be quite high.

depends on how car savvy you are

7k can but usually are old and need a lot of tlc before they are back to 100% performance

7k include car insu, road tax, and repairs?

used car 7k basically u cannot choose non accident, or apa

mostly above 10 years car

just use as a beater car to go from A to B

n dont mind the stench n sweat stains

myvi

if buy from used car dealer - NO NO dont buy
if u know seller then ok.

Waja campro manual

Rm7K budget for Myvi?

2009 or earlier - manual
2006 or earlier - auto

Persona 10 yr old car can get less than 8k but maintenance cost sigh

I got a 20+ yr old Unser also not that teruk.

old personas really that bad ka

dulu got consider as beater

5 yr car, engine gasket sudah out, leaking oil. Do proper servicing & apply gasket (the one that comes of from the tube), mounting, etc. RM1k+ gone.

Air cond suka2 on suka2 off, blow hot air. Common issue - need to change the air cond knob panel - that part is RM400+ excluding labour. I thought is just variable resistor like Iswara, why such a simple and supposedly lasting component become so easy to spoil and so expensive to replace?

The power window no need to say la ha... after 4x send to SC finally fixed.

Other things starting to come out since 5yrs+ car no more warranty.

Cheap car but parts is H or T level, but cannot compete in terms of reliability.

Fast2 sell.

Depends on your luck.

If zero knowledge about cars, don't buy.

In my case, I bought a 2007 Savvy full spec for a mere 1k. The owner refused to spend any more dough on it. Back home, I replaced the fuel pump, crank sensor, clock spring, coil pack and power window switches. All bought from Shopee and DIY over 3 weekends.

She started up immediately and by following week, the runner came to collect and send for Puspakom inspection. Once all done, I bought new insurance and RT for it.

Everything including the car cost me RM 4k. I then added another 1k for dashcam with reverse camera, new speakers and head unit.

After about 2 months, the clutch started slipping so I replaced the clutch for another 1k with workmanship plus right lower arm.

All in about 6k. Cheap fuel consumption. A full tank running around the Rimbayu area lasted about 3 weeks.
