Guys,

Need advise, My CRV gen 5.5 next year turn 5th year, so mean no more warranty from Honda.

Do you think I should sell the car to get another new car like x50?

I have my loan Rm85000 mean if I sell it, I still can breakeven and get x50...

also my CRV model is old model I don't want to pay monthly payment for an old car with no reselling value...

I'm inclined to this.
Try putting all your details in Gemini Pro and ChatGPT Pro. See what you get. I tried both and got two different results.
Gemini - keep until minimum 12 years, buy used car.
ChatGPT - sell year 9, buy used car.
My Kia Sorento Diesel already 8 years old. Fully paid. Warranty 5 years.

It makes no financial sense for me to change car. Need to pay loan every month. Say the car needs maintenance, at most per year is 2 month loan or maybe 3 month loan.

As of now, I plan to keep the car 12 years at least, until I find the car that I want to change to...then buy used. Whatever I save from depreciation in the first few years can be used for maintenance of the car.

if keep 12 years my crv no more resale value...

For your 5 year old Honda you cry mother father resale value potong what you expect le? Also a very important question is how often you want to visit workshop? You bought your Honda new so if you dont pedal to medal and service regularly high chances there will be less worry for constant workshop visits.

If u got Amoi size frame ok x50 but if u badak better stick to CRV.

Ha ha... just a mere survey question, so far the CRV is in good condition serve me well.

Just that mileage already 60,000km... feel like not worth to continue paid a outdated vehicle..

if honda not so constantly redesign their car like proton, than I would stick to it...

I owned x50 then I got CRV 5.5 (used), and i don't think x50 is much saver fuel than CRV. The cabin space, boot space and the comfort is not what x50 (older gen, not the current gen) can compare with Honda CRV.
*
Appreciate your advise, greatly value it. Didn't know CRV is safer fuel, thought smaller vehicle should be more fuel effiecient.

but what make you change to Honda?

Yes. That is why I put my entire car data, finance situation etc in ChatGPT Pro and Gemini Pro. Let it calculate and decide. To see how much better off. Time to change or keep. Since the paid model got advance research, so it can get all the data needed to give you comprehensive insight into your situation.

It's a Honda, 12 years will still have value. The bigger question is continuous maintaining it for few more years then sell or sell and topup. Will depreciation cost more or not. 

With my Kia, I got two different results with both paid version, and I accept both views. Only now is, as my current car is 99% under porch throughout lifetime (work and home under porch), headlamp still clear, mileage just 106k km, and other owners already go pass 200k km without any major issues, I don't see the need to change now. I am not sure about your own situation though.

Didn't know you upload car information to let chatgpt to analysis this for you... great lesson.

surprisingly, if % alone, both same year x50 and crv around the same rv % (~67% value retained). but i use price from carsome only, may not be accurate to market.

i think ts is kena racun by x50, just itchy to change car.  biggrin.gif 

cant say i dont understand but ts, from where i'm standing i see no reason to downgrade unless you want a lower monthly instalment.
*
Yes, definitely hit the point, x50 with 4 cilinder really attractive;

beside that the lowering the monthly installment is also correct, can extend few more years with same amount of loan...

so why no?

X50 is a small car. my advice is better settle down with full spec x70. not far price from x50. u will lose nothing if change into x70. space and comfort everything same with crv. no downgrade

OK thanks, will into it as well, but just hope they upgrade their design than it look more fresh.

In your case, lack of warranty is not a big issue.
Warranties are overly hyped and should not be the main reason for forking out money to buy a brand new car when you already have a functioning older Japaneae car.

In the long run, it makes sense to keep and maintain your currern CRV. Its a Honda and should last longer than a new X50.

Spare parts availability and ease of maintenance for the CRV is also a plus point.
*
Your point makes a lot of sense — CRV spare parts are widely available, and maintenance is generally easier and more straightforward. On top of that, being a Honda, the CRV has proven durability and reliability, which gives it an edge for long-term ownership compared to the X50.

Apologies, I missed out on your earlier message. Yes, including the accessories makes it an even better deal — the front and back dashcam sounds like a great addition too.

Damn, I think you either like the look of new x50 or kenot tahan kena tapau by one at traffic light. So just finding excuse to justify buying new x50. Manufacturer will keep updating the car. This apply to every other product in the world as well.

12K km per year is nothing la for honda. Heck, even my bimmer I drove 50,000 km per year.

My previous estima is 15 years old with close to 500,000 km mileage lol. My wife city currently in 12th year close to 200,000km.

For me I kenot brain normal average people wasting money and become car loan slave all their life.

Nway, your money your life your choice lor.

Wow, that’s impressive mileage on both your Estima and your wife’s City! Just curious — isn’t it recommended for CVT to change the CVT belt around every 200,000 km? Did you carry out this service, or is it actually not necessary? Thanks.
