Some people never consider the wear and tear on the car, not to mention how the car served him for so many years and so many miles. They think a car dont need maintainence.

Europe cars are pioneers in designing planned obsolescence. Plastic oil pan, plastic water pump, plastic intake manifold, reclaimed plastics for interior parts, "organic synthetic" leather, natural fiber infused cables, the lists goes on.

Ever seen a cracked Porsche Cayenne V8 plastic air intake manifold. That made the car died, power and get codes. The old Cayenne had aluminium manifold.

My 2012 Peugeot 3008 clocked over 290k km and still needed another 20k+ for repairs. Already spent 50k on repairs since after warranty.

In the end, let it go at 3k to cut further losses. The new owner overhauled and redo the entire car by himself DIY. Quite impressive given the low budget allocation.

250k km is considered the lifetime of a car already loh. More than that is a bonus already.

If can last 999km, then VW is zaplap first, because nobody change car ad

This VW bento how much brand new price last timw?

240k mileage under Malaysian weather and road condition damn impressive. Our road quality is like driving through warzone, many crater hole to fuck ur tayar.

depends if u follow service schedule or not
if u do, it won't everything come at once

das auto

I used a first gen Vios that clock in almost 200k last time.

During that time, a lot of things need to be changed and replaced. It takes a lot of money to repair it

It's a same thing for every car.

yes dont come at once, few months sekali lo

service schedule sure got follow one, but wear and tear still cannot avoid. like those water pump, oil separator etc

memang expected one la for old cars

seem normal, just that since it's a VW, parts are gonna be expensive unlike proton(local model)

Saw my old boss who had experienced owning all Conti brands, VW, Audi, Volvo, BMW and now Mercedes, he straight told if want buy conti, take Mercedes. Never ever take the VW-Audi group, cz too many issues. Volvo, SC problem, only know on basic maintenance, comes special problem, standby resting the car at SC for weeks, but the problem still persist. And outside lacks of Volvo expert. BMW, he had multiple headache related to engine, ECU, electronic and one time, claim new gb for his F10 few months before warranty expired.

Now with Mercedes, he keep repeat it, from previously sedan E-class to now GLE. He too not taking the hybrid, EV form if its Conti brand

tak faham. why mercedes also same repeat why he still recommend mercedes

basically any conti cars after 1995 got planned obsolescence somehow

I kena already before

left
original water pump with PLASTIC impeller

right
aftermarket water pump with stainless steel impeller

mercedes also got their own set of problem lah . after W124 ,quality down the drain already.

thing with toyolta, once fix, ok already

thing with conti, once fix, u gonna fix other things within 3-6 after that

buy volvo

get brand new free car if your car hits 1 mil mileage
