recommendation for a first car ;)

[PrimusKiob]

hey guys as i said on my title... kinda wondering on what should i get as my first car... shortlisted a few candidates like nissan cefiro, honda civic and bmw 3 or 5 series... all in 2ndhand range between 20k to 50k... so please share ur wisdom la hehehe....

what im looking for in the cars is this :
1. performance around normal to medium la... engine around 1.8 to 2.5
2. fuel consumption around normal la
3. normal maintenance and parts easy to get within malaysia (to be more precise in Sabah n Sarawak area)
4. looks good la... youngster what haha..

im open to new ideas.. other cars can be also be recommended la... not too choosy but the top 3 is my most wanted la.. just wanted to know what the zerotohundred members think about my choice ;)

why dont you get a satria r3 its within 50k, 1.8 manual, good handling and performance, parts easy to get. if you are keen on performance. or else a cefiro 2.5 v6 for space and comfort.

Judging from the top 3 list, i don't think he's interested to get a local car. My suggestion is the 5 series. But wallet must be thick enough as parts might not be as cheap as a honda's.

Nissan Cefiro - Nice car, driftable, lots of aftermarket parts, the car is cheap, the parts is not cheap

Honda Civic
- '96 to 2000, nice lightweight car, lots of aftermarket parts, the car is not cheap, the parts is cheap
-2001 till now, very good looking car, some with warranty, the car is not cheap, the parts no comment

BMW 3 series - depends on the year,
old car - cheap to buy, quiet high on maintenance
new car- well.. u know it's a BMW afterall

5 series - depends on the year too

I dont wanna spoil the mood but am just wonderin, u do know that those Civics, Cefiros, 3 series etc (old cars) are mostly deal in "cash" right? No doubt those cars are good but u can hardly get a loan anymore. But if u have the money, by all means get it man!

I guess this would suit youngsters with Racing Blood
Yet is within your budget :top:

Mohan Raj : thanks bro but like our brother V6TT86, im not exactly keen on getting a satria though.. i dont mind on getting a local car but a bit phobic about it... since well we know of the "reliability" of local cars... hehehe...

[Supra_Fanatics]

Good Luck!

My top 3
1) Kancil (dirt cheap to buy now, cheap petrol, cheap maintenance)
2) Myvi (not that cheap but ok la)
3) Saga (those BLM/FL etc. again cheap car and cheap to run)

Run those cars and save more money and get a medium range or something towards high range car after 5 years or so.

Petrol consumption for normal might differ from one to another. RM150 per week translates to RM600 per week. It might be normal to some depending on their ride but if you compare it to Kancil for example it can be one month worth of petrol.

Tyres. Need to look into this as well. It looks weird to have a super nice ride but with cap x tires right? Depending on the rims it might cost you in region of 700-thousands per piece.

Roadtax, who doesn't know how much it cost for those above 2k cc :)

Define cheap as in real world scenario then maybe can give more concrete advice. As for the parts, some like to run on all those original brand (Trust, HKS, AP, PMU etc) and some just run on normal stuff. 6 pot endless and 6 pot from DFT or some other brand I can't recall may perform differently and so do the price difference.

Why I gave you the first option. Cos then after 5 years you can have 2 cars. These cars (yes including beemer even the new ones) that you mentioned are such a baby that needs tender loving care so you will need to have a spare car.

thanks mate!!!

sorry for my ignorance bro, but ur referring to satria right? ehe...

 

[DanzEterna]

[ddv_nk12]

Honda Accord - comfortable, looks good, performance parts available easily (if you are into it), falls within your budget, can still get loan (if you need it).

http://www.mudah.my/Honda+Accord+2+3VTEC+Auto+Full+Loan-14106033.htm

or if you can afford a little more, I'll suggest this:

http://www.mudah.my/Honda+Accord+EURO+06-14149910.htm

Cefiro is also not bad actually. I think you can get A33 around that price.

Lancer MX? got more info on that car bro? thought of evo... but most of the cars i saw on carlist or mudah... really out of my budget... but havent thought of lancers though ;)

 

[D7zul]

since it is ur 1st car..

i suggest get a KE70 original condition..

less than rm3k for the car & spend around rm2k for repairs..

RM5000 kautim

 

[Seng_song]

How about Silvia S14?

2.0 Turbo

Price ranging around 50K.

 

[l2s_turbo]

Bro how about proton perdana? The price is also dirt cheap nowadays.. if you can find a v6 manual it could be great!
