2nd foreign car price is cheap, but y?

[chisinlouz]

Hi.

Today i read motor trader and found that:

focus hatch <RM60k
ford focus 1.8 (sedan) <RM50k
sentra <RM50k
mazda 6 <RM50k

This 4 are old cars, 2006 and below. Their pricing for new unit is more than 100k, but are ridiculous affordable to me..

Cos im looking for cars below 60k and prefer midsize. Initially i went frustrated Altis cost a bomb for a year 2000 unit.

Then i went for alternative Proton, and still cant accept proton (persona). It is cheap but preferable not proton.. now driving a iswara

Is anyone here mind to give opinion, why these 4 car current market rate is so cheap? Is it due to spare part hard get or other factors?

Currently droll on Mazda 6 and Focus..

hey.

if im not mistaken,foreign cars are quite expensive when new,due to the ridiculous tax imposed on them.but when you look at 2nd hand,said cars are sold without the import tax,making it a lot cheaper compared to new.sifus,please correct me if im wrong.=)

wow sure? what i checked so far really is big depreciation in their price.. i thought it is car meet accident or watever. Hope there will be sifu to comfirm on this. thanks

for those imported car, normally their used car value are not there, that is part of the reason why they are not popular in Malaysia market ...

All of those cars have no value in M'sia.

And if you choose any of those Fords you'll cry when maintaining it. The Mazda isn't that much cheaper but cheaper in comparison. Sentra... erm. No comments.

Between the 4, I'd go for the Mazda.

between the 4 I'd go for Sentra. at least i know definitely got parts. however the Mazda 6 is the better car on paper, being a D-Segment car whereas the other 3 are C-Segment cars.

buy Ford sure cry. See if you want to take the risk with Mazda 6 or not.. my personal belief is all cars will breakdown eventually and you need parts to keep it running.

better wait for proton p321A & surely after u test drive it, will say "surely this is proton ah?"

 

[chisinlouz]

hrm.. not so sure going for Proton.. pricing might similar to japanese car.. u might need Tuah to get a less mechanic problem car.. joking. hehe..

currently opt to sentra already.. but i find less info on that car.. hard to find second hand impul white... T.T
