Hi All sifus and bro. Need some advise here.

Plan to buy 2nd hand perdana year 02/01(budget small) coz need to travel far from my house every week roughly 1500km for 2 flow. How long can this perdana tahan.

I survey 1 car (2owner) year 01/02 with milage 90k with Perak plate number all parts are original but the shop informed me the timing belt just changed. When they say the timing belt just changed do they changed all other part around the timing bell also. Is this consider major serviced/overhaul. Is this a good buy considering all stocks accessories and the final price quoted 30k.

My other question is what do I need to do to decide on the purchased and what else need to checked. And is it logical the milage is still that low.

One more question do perdana have airbag. And can we fixed the airbag to perdana.

Thank you in advanced to all commenter and sifus

bear in mind there is a hidden cost,
processing fee, puspakom fee, bank fee, transfer fee etc...
better ask them list out clearly those cost before pay a deposit....

Helo Sifus and the rest of the forumers.. It has been awhile since i last posted in this thread..

I actually sat down and read all the posts by our forumers here since the last time i posted (about 6-8 months back). Very interesting and knowledgeable read indeed. Thanks again to all PV6 owners for sharing your problems and solutions.. (special credits to NeuroOne, Omnipotent, koh_424, & lewatmalam)!

Just wanted to share my one(1) year and six(6) months experience of using my Perdana V6 (standard model, year 2005 - odometer 89,000km when bought), comes with factory fitted ATF cooler).

Now my Odometer reads 118,000km. I use my car for night city driving & as a weekend car. No much driving i guess - only clocked 29,000km since i bought it - 1 year and 6 months ago.

An awesome car indeed. Long distance driving is fun and comfortable. The best speed that I enjoy driving is 100-110km/h, RPM:2.8k. My car's fuel economy: Full tank=RM100 : 450km city driving, and 550 highway driving. Reasonable ratio for a 2.0 liter car i guess.

Below are the list of experiences that I went through so far with my PV6:

1) Changed all 4 brake pads upon buying the car (using stock Mintye brand) - still good till now.

2) Changed both front(oil) and back(gas) absorbers to KYB. Still good till now but the gas absorbers are a bit stiff and I'm planning to change it to oil absorbers the next time around.

3) Did major service at 100,000km (changed GMB water pump, timing belt kit, other belts, NGK Platinum spark plugs, 2 engine mountings, etc etc) : spent about RM1,200.00. Changed my light bulbs as well upon them dying - normal OEM ones (for brake, indicators, and headlights).

4) Normal GB service - ATF and filter change. (Maintaining change every 15,000km for ATF and 30,000km for filter). My ATF is Proton SP3.

5) My car couldn't start at times. Serviced my throttle body, changed my fuel filter still to no avail.  Even after servicing the throttle body and changing the fuel filter, still may car minyak tak naik and had to change the fuel pump. Replaced my fuel pump to chop shop Eterna fuel pump. Need to figure out whats the real problem here.. still facing the same prob once in awhile.. sigh.. Probably electronics kot.

6) Two months after buying the car, I changed from dry cell to wet cell(N70) - the wrong wiring at my radio was draining my battery (leaking current) until my dry cell went kaput. Stupid 2ndhand car dealer worker who wrongly fitted the wires before me buying the car.

7) I maintain 5,000km service interval with Pennzoil Semi-Synthetic 10W-40. Good oil indeed.

8) Car so far runs well with no problem except the engine starting problem - once in awhile. Smoke sometimes can be seen after rain or early morning.. I think this is normal. Nothing major.

9) My GB runs smoothly except for the "thud" sound/feel during gear changes - not often though. I jaga my GB and very rare thrash it (only when ppl cucukx2 behind me unnecessarily, hehe).

10) My fastest speed recorded was 190km/h at Seremban Highway on d way to Melaka (had 3 passengers in the car).  I think my car can reach 200km/h at the most if tekan sumore.. Haven't try it yet though. Car was also cruising fine at 160km/h. Cabin sound intrusion is noticeable after 110km/h (probably I need to change my door rubbers as my car 6 years plus d.. hehe). 

I guess, these are the things that I've done and experienced so far with my beloved PV6. Love the car so much! One of the best decisions I've taken in my 25 years of living - i.e.: getting a Perdana V6.

Last but not least.. thanks again to all the Sifus in this forum! hope to see this thread alive and kicking like always!

p/s: Thanks Wan for all the help. Dah lama aku tak turun TT.. one of these days will definitely join u guys!

Hi all, i do not know what happen to my V6. Sometimes when i switch from N gear to D gear. The car just aint responding, it behave as if it is still in N gear. Is this a symtom that the gear box is near its life? It starts to happen quite frequently
