What car to buy? (Part 2)

[Ahmad K]

Hi, I'm new here. Name's Ahmad. It seems that people play around with local cars only. how bout continental cars like VW? Is it difficult to find spare parts or what?

 

[TheVWFan]

well yea definitely. spare parts are expensive. still, i think the VW market is growing what with the launch of 3 fab cars: passat cc, scirocco, and golf gti

If people have options then they just play around with local car... and wallet provide option list...

 

[JacksonT]

In the end it all boils down to the wallet. Or else I'm sure those who are concerned with social status would not confine themselves to our local makes

Currently just started working for abt 1.5 years so better start slow. Thats why i choose putra. Besides other cars such as dc2, 180sx, Civic all can't get loan. So very less option.

 

[DanzEterna]

u could opt for bank rakyat personal loan.

 

[ez64]

Personal loan really high interest. If you don't have anything else to pay for nvr mind la but i still got to support my mum and siblings. So really have to give a deep thought before buying anything. Plus personal loan can only go abt 10X yr current pay.

putra is quite a good car.. not too fancy when stock.. but it has potential to be an wyw turner for a coupe... im sure there's a lot of body kits to match.. and mechanical wise.. u can share with any 4G Series engine.. but if you plan to use it just a couple of years.. i think its better to get a Honda civic from EF to Ek Models.. resale value is quite promising even without a V.tec engine, since its depreciation value is less... the problem is... civics mostly dont have loan already.. only for the last EJ models..

But if i've restored the putra well than i will not sell it. Maybe keep it as a weekend car. By the way can anyone suggest good suspension & absorber for putra. Besides may i know how much will it cost to service putra's air cond.

 

[DanzEterna]

yeah...since you've restored your putra, must as well keep it.
depends how much your budget for absorbers? adjustables? sports? or just springs?

also u wanna service your compressor? blower? condensor? or cooling coil? the foremen will ask u...or service the whole aircond system?

 

[ez64]

Bro how much is the cost to service the entire air cond system since i don't know which part is the problem one. For suspension, what type can u suggest and brand. Current i'm using monroe with eibach spring but already reaching the end of it's life period. I'm using 17" sport rim. What type can u recommend for a comfortable and nice performance condition.
