Good, but the 1st owner use the car like shit then sell. As a second hand is it still good?A Kancil might not up to what u wan but it's in a tip toe condition, is it a good buy?Cars so many choices la....my suggestion is u don ask....go to see urself is better.

michellechen 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2006 Not like I knw much bout cars but in my opinion, sumtimes u can easily buy a 2nd hand car but maintainin it might cost u even mor than d cost of d car itself... I rather get smt newer tht cause less probs...Sorry, guess not much of a help here... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Azxel 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2006 I know most executives who buy a 2nd hand BMW, would usually spent extra $$$ to overhaul or replace the engine and a paint job plus some restoration... then viola! good as new. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Azxel 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2006 Add little more can buy new lo (but maybe not the same model ) not really. 2nd hand BMW 3-series cost about RM20k-RM50k. Spent another RM10k-RM25k on paint job and overhaul, and you're almost practically driving a brand new car. Compare that to buying a new 3-series which cost RM180k?

MikeJ 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2006 Not really, you can get a mid 1990's BMW 3 series for around 40-50k.I like the car....but darn expensive to maintain...and currently, still out of my budget, even for 2nd hand. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

epileatheral 0 Report post Posted November 29, 2006 I think there's only 2 of the cars you should buy here. Nissan Sentra, or Toyota SEG. For the others, you rather buy a brand new Myvi. It will cost you less monthly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pinnochio 0 Report post Posted November 29, 2006 Yup agree with epi...myvi less in maintenance plus u get a new car and good for resale later!I'm in this industry for years Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
