guys,
im also in dilemma which car to get last 2 months, for car below 200k, camry 2.4/accord 2.4/mazda6 2.5/used bmw 325 fit into list.
after long wait for launched of accord and M6, this M6 caught my heart .

the only problem is resale value will lower, but so what? the resale value makes me choose accord 4yrs ago although im interesting to get mitsubishi airtrek turbo. and guess what, im driving accord and drolling for air trek everyday i saw it pass by. somemore my frens say me ah pek driving accord at 26 ... thats torture..
in the end, the resale value of airtrek is higher than accord now...

so this time, although walking into ah pek ages..30.. i'll choose mazda 6 to makes me look younger~ hehehe

my current car is 04' accord 2.4 , bad QC problems of ckd honda i experience b4 makes me back off :
1.warped disc brake rotor, their disc only last for 1 year.claimed 3 disc brake within 3yrs warranty, now 4th yrs and and it happen again.
2.the aircond down after 2yrs, took 2 week to claim and repair!!!!!! luckily i have spare car. if not... how?
3.the right hand side reverse sensor no functioning when i receive my car, i hit the water pipe hose when reverse parking just few days after bought it
4.the service center like to say "it's like that 1 la".
5.the rear absorber have rattling sound when new.(now new accord also facing this probs)
6.the co2 sensor will die after 3yrs and cost rm1400 each.
7.rattling sound inside cabin. improper fix dashboard, can see hole...
8.the car vibrate like proton after aircond kick in, same thing happen to new accord feedback.


will go KL test drive the M6 2.5 2weeks later.. will place booking if there's no major problem of car.

reliable info ? hopefully not...
i also want to get it quick , but must wait after my business trip.

hm..silver or white better?

kizuna6 , full city drive ?

$0.28/km is accord 2.4 fc before petrol price increase!
now $0.39/km full city drive.

my foot is heavy.
last time full tank rm105 drive for 370km only

no la...
just i like to pickup fast when stationary , and mostly im full city driving with traffic light all around.


iceman,
wait for ur pic...

accord harsher? compare to current accord?
heard m6 is more rigid, firm ride than accord ler... but i hope it's true.

damn still no time to go KL test drive.
think i'll book here without test drive or even look at real car.
the 2.5l cost 175,XXX OTR ... same price whole p/malaysia rite?
the salesman say no discount but got free gift, dono what free gift.

finally paid deposit for M6 2.5l
still can't decide which color to get... lilac silver or pearl white.
i love pearl white but i know i won't taking good care of my car... like my current black accord, everyone will think it's grey.
scare pearl white will become yellowish next time..
but silver not my favourite leh...
headache...

manage to test drive the 2.0l only, i can understand y many ppl dissapointed with 2.0l coz it's very low spec.

thank guys.

anyone here mind to share the loan interest rate ?
i'll loan 70k for 2 or 3yrs installment, which bank provide lowest interest now?

i think now no more 2.XX% d... ask the salesman he said gone up d... 3.XX% now... will go survey tomolo.

i'll not loan 9yrs, don't like long installment period. max is 3yrs for me.
and i've already done alot investment, enuf for me currently.

ur idea is good... but 15-18%yr is too good to be true..hehe..later stock market corrupt how la...

just my opinion la,
if the car loan interest same rate as FD, there's not much different for pay 2yrs or 9yrs in the end.
settle within 2yrs is more hassle free ...
for 9yrs, it will limit u to apply other bank loan in future 9yrs.

if u have better investment,that's different story. but as long as there involve investment, there's risk right? no ppl dare to guarantee 100% make profit .

as for my case, not consider other investment at moment. my business also running smooth and no need more cash to roll.
but i think now if i invest another property also no bank gonna loan me base on 30% of income installment... already hit the LDHN limit. hehe
now i just want hassle free option so i can have peace of mind when vacation...

ur idea is nice and good calculation actually. those who taking loan for car can refer to billy advise.
keep on the good debate dude.

*think i'll choose lilac silver for "hassle free" maintenance... im just too lazy and scare of commitment la...haha

change my order to pearl white after saw the lilac silver...



er...can't get what u mean...

ops..typo... LHDN

ic.. done that already lo... no need letter to bank... coz i declare into my income and pay more incometax.


same like me...haha
also poison by my dad's new pearl white camry which arrive 2 days ago... look longer fall in love deeper... really "kam tai"

yeah got aero kit.
i can say it's a very comfortable car for city driving. alot improve than previous camry.
but it's boring to me... also feel float at high speed.

"THE STAR KUALA LUMPUR:The Government will re-look the National
Automotive Policy (NAP) in a bid to make it a progressive policy and not
entirely protective in nature."


is that a hint for car tax reduce next year? ah....to wait or not to wait...
last time i didnt wait and my car price drop more than 10k after few months.

for 2.0l , civic reserve for better resale value, better spec.
my $0.02

i think if his parents give him such budget,most probably it's extra money for their kid. perhaps his parents drive conti at home and 140k car is low end enough.
for my thought, 4yrs is good enough for change new car. after 4yrs wear and tear, is time to sell it off b4 it get u trouble or pay $$$ for repair.
my car current accord only drive 4yrs . b4 that, camry only last for 1.5yrs coz that car too boring...
thats y i always opt for short loan installment within 3yrs.

nice to hear u r happy with it, im sure i'll feel the same when i receive mine

er... that means 2400cc or 2500cc also got rebate?
how about my 2400cc roadtax paid at april, got cash rebate? blur blur d...

but the already paid can't get cash refund via pos office rite?

lucky u told me, will ask dealer when car arrive. if not , there goes my rm200 if they keep quiet.

seems like that is ur dad first honda .
i drive accord for 4yrs already, many of my friends own latest civic,crv, city.
and 0.02 defect statement is....ahem.... ask ur dad opinion 2yrs later then tell us here.

for ur info, mazda also japanese car. and it's CBU which totally made in Japan. honda accord sell in malaysia is CKD which assemble in Melaka ,Malaysia. and most of the youtube or net review is not base on our very proud CKD in Melaka honda.

im not sure how's CBU mazda quality in long run, hopefully im choose the right side this time.
