Start the engine and let it idling, hold the steering to ensure there is no vibration. Switch on the aircon and ensure there is no rough noise when aircon kicks in. Open the oil cap, u should able to see a steel shinning inside the cam cover (if it's 20K as claimed). Drive to traffic and check the temperature. Bend down to check the underneath chassis.

Further to your friends remarks, he ever own a waja didn't he? Tell him that 3 years old E46 need to change hell alot of sensors as well. A condition of a car is very much depends on the owners, not the brand neither the model. My 2001 waja only changed 3 power windows, 1 set of absober, 1 set of engine mounting, 2 sets of tires, & 1 set of timing belt and that's all for 148K mileage.

For the price, i think it's very high. Even a used car is selling around RM40K-42K. Better to walk few shops bro.

I see. No wonder why. I still remember when i was there in year 2004, for Waja (M) year 2001 was priced at RM59,000 , almost like brand new

maybe u can try at auction house...........

but sometimes aution car osso..cannot pakai,wrong bid..ending buy halfcut hahahaha

My uncle bought a custom tender car before..The merc looks very cun end up xde gearbox..But it still a good grab

see

may be i will try to nego with the seller..or try to go to semnanjung and buy from there..but i think it will more costly :-(

i would like to ask about the waja window regulator, i juz bought a metal one, bought it wrongly, but it can be changed to plastic one if i wan to. therefore i would like to ask which one is better? i heard some comments that the metal one got wind sound when the car goes fast.

dun worry nowadays all car need to go thru puspakom and any joint vehicle unable to transfer name.

If u take a closer look the plastic power window panel is fully covering the entire door, while the metal panel is with alot of holes. What u can do is get a roll of sponge to covert he holes on the metal panel.
