Hi there ZTH, I'm just curious to know your opinions on getting second hand cars for someone like me who is currently in this kind of lifestyle/situation
-I am currently 26 years old and I've already worked for 5 years. I have gathered some amount of saving for future uses (or in case of emergencies)
-I currently drive an Inokom Atos 1.1 Auto 2004
-I rarely drive but I do drive like 3-4 times a week (I only drive the car when I need to or to make sure the car starts and the battery doesnt die). Mostly short distance drives. I don't use the car for daily more like weekend car.
-I have poured quite some money into fixing this old car but there is still issues with this car and maybe I am getting tired of fixing it and rather I'm just maintaining it at the moment (I am still keeping/driving this car because of sentimental value. This is my dad's car and he has passed away)
-I have thought about getting a new/used car to have an ease of mind
-With a set budget (purchase + repairs if needed) I've narrowed down my used car to Corolla SEG,SE (1.6 Blacktop/Silvertop/AE92/AE101) / Wira 1.8 DOHC / Satria Neo 1.6 / KE70 1.6 (this car might be too much for me to handle so I'll leave it as the last thing on my mind)
-I've read up and looked around the internet about risks of buying used cars and so on
-If I had to buy a new car I would be comfortable with monthly installment of 300-500 at most
-looking at the cars I've listed, how are the spare parts availability and its reliability?
-I am not looking into modifying or tuning the car but rather just enjoying it as it is and maintaining it.
