Since price isnt cheap and you already have Mark X in the list, I think we can safely ignore this.Camry old gen -Toyota resale value in M'sia is absurd.
The hot favorite among those polled. Not really that much outside of your budgetMark X 1st Gen - The 'upgraded Camry'. RWD and relatively spacious. Not a bad consideration but so far the good units are all above 38k. Still looking out for a cheap and cheerful unit
No longer in considerationAltezza 3sge Beams AT 98% Mint Condition - I've already rejected this guys offer[
Altezza 3sge Beams MT 98% mint that he cant afford - But 46k realistically can't afford it.
Nissan Sylphy - screw you @LimauKanker
It's priced attractively, well maintained and rides well; just not a touge car. Will keep you out of trouble and who here thinks Volvos arent safe cars? It's a lot of car for the price of 10K.Volvo S80 - At 10k asking price, mechanically sound (receipts to prove change of everything recently) and T5 2.0 engine. Very spacious very magic carpet-ish and with that asking price, I could splurge 5k to do up the interior, 3k on suspension, 3k on wheels and tyres, and still have cash to spend on a nice family vacation. But the car's a doozy to drive and I can pretty much forget about touge and fun drives. Maintenance and parts will be a bit on the higher side but nothing i can't manage. .
Not the car that didnt age well. More a case of cheap ownersBMW E39 - Looks good. But so far I've yet to find one that I like. What is with BMWs and not aging well?
Can consider if you're a die hard classic car fan. Are you?Toyota Corolla 4AGE 6-speed manual mint condition - This car recently came to my attention. AE92 and is in absolutely mint condition with Australian interior and a show-car worthy stock 4AGE blacktop engine with the rare 6-speed manual. Realistically it's worth maybe 10k at most but considering how mint the car is the owner won't go that low and in fact he's hesitating on whether he wants to sell or not. Also I don't know if I could truly settle with a AE92 anyway. Probably will be a hoot to drive though.. 6-speed manual blacktop. .
This looks like your new hot favoriteAltezza 3SGE Beams manual Z edition (the one I CAN afford) - This car is probably the one I'll get. 32k (nego) and in Penang. It's currently waiting on a buyer getting approval for his personal loan but if that doesn't go through then it's mine. Pretty mint looking car and at that price it's within my price bracket. I haven't seen the car yet but when the buyer drops out, I'll view the car before settling.
