Hi,
How many of you sometimes browse through the Cars for sale section just for fun, raise your hand? :D
Anyway, I'm just wondering, how come some cars are so cheap in comparison?
For example, a 2001 Audi 1.8T for RM50K? You get the German engineering and turbo. If you're buying a car, why bother buying a new Waja for a bit below RM60K? - just save the RM10K for maintenance, right?
Or a 2000 BMW 3-series for RM70K! If you're looking for sporty driving, why would you buy a Civic for RM120K? You get to save RM50K for repairs etc, and the Beemer would seemingly give more pleasure and probably get you more salutes from the housing security guards :D Maybe gets more girls too :D
I'm just curious. Are these old Continental cars P.O.S. when they get old? Do the repair bills pile up astronomically? Do they breakdown all the time? Or as someone pointed out, the plastics in European cars are made to degrade quickly due to environmental concerns?
Or the Skyline GTRs still command pretty good value. Sylvias still list for RM130-RM150K. For that you might get two newer BMWs AFAIK. Why ah? Are the Nissans too much in demand, or are the BMWs and Audis just crap?
