S15 from Mutiara Motors

[eugeneleck]

Hi all sifus,

Did any of you happen to get your S15 from Mutiara Motors before?

Just wondering whether the S15s from them are reliable anot...

Thanks all. Cheers!

they are good. only thing is that you will be registered under a johor plate.

Lol... thanks for the reply... what's wrong with Johor plate? hehe...

car from them is ok , and u will get a lot of gift from them when u bought that car.

oh...nothing wrong with johor plate. just that i'm not from johor hence i dun fancy a johor plate. and yes, u get many goodies like strut bars, oil cap, radiator cap, engine oil, t-shirt blah blah...maybe even a full set of exhaust too if you are lucky...

rite now registration is online..my fren bought car in pahang but register KL plate...n he said any region also can..

 

[eugeneleck]

Woah the freebies sound good! Thanks for the info!

I'm quite a noob in this, so was wondering if anyone could like provide a lowdown on what are the things to take note of when inspecting before buying a recond car?

Does anyone happen to know of any good S15 mechanic around JB area too?

Thanks!

Eugene,

I think buying recond cars are always a matter of luck. Dealers/salesmen/women wouldnt know the 100% history of the vehicle. The importers depend on the technical sheet supplied with the vehicle after it goes thru inspection & certification by the Japanese RTA. Dealers just need to meet their sales target. At the end of the day its our call.

Mutiara imports from Koyu Ltd. Most of the cars are reliable but IMO avoid heavily moddified ones. Oh..and they only give u a month's warranty.

I just went thru a pewter spec-r last saturday. It is parked at the top. The car is waiting to hit the tracks with alot of greddy stuff such as the FMIC, TT, 6 dial gauges, SMI ecu etc..On top of that, Mutiara has added a profec type-s, infometer and a muffler. Also has recaros, CF hood and i forget..

Talk about temptation..no, not the band!!hahah


Good luck in your hunt man..

Cheers!:shades_smile:

JayDM,

Thanks for the heads up! The pewter one is exactly what I have in mind. How much did they quote you for that?

Your opinion is to avoid heavily modded ones... so what do you think about the pewter one you went through then? sounds quite modded... lol...

By the way, do you happen to know of any mechanics around JB whom I can get to help inspect the car before buying?

Hehe... are you going to succumb to the temptation?

Eugene,

Bro, i already have mine, got it a couple of months back :regular_smile:

Mutiara's price is reasonable, i didnt ask them but i'm guessing its about 135-140k

Personally, i would choose something with mild mods so that i can upgrade it myself gradually and so that i know what i put in exactly .But if you find it a hassle to do mods on your own, by all means get a 'packaged' machine.

Like i said, the pewter one is tempting, but i would avoid it. Its been 'used' if u can catch my 'drift'..

I think they have a few more subtle ones..check them all out before deciding.

As for mechanics in JB..i dun really know as i do my stuff in kl mostly..

Jay,

Awesome, how's your ride coming along? I'll try to organize a TT session in JB should I be able to settle for one...

hey guys is it possible if u can jz snap some pics of the nice condition s15s u see in Mutiara or any car dealer?

so hard to find one that has the 'original' look.....

has anyone chk out mutiara's webby? the only s15 - in white, looks quite subtle....wonder if its still around

 

[eugeneleck]

Toda,

I'll bring my camera along if I drop by MM this weekend. I think the pics you see on their website are more like sample pics of the models they have rather than the actual cars they have at their showroom..

Just got back from MM. They only had one S15 on display, which should be the one JayDM referred to. The salesgirl told me they've got 3 more coming in over the next couple of weeks. Probably will keep a lookout for those instead.

Here's some photos of the S15 on display:

[eugeneleck]

One already came in and I'm going down in a while to settle the paperwork for it. Don't think they've got white. I heard there's another pewter with sunroof, black with CF bonnet and a red one coming along if I remember correctly.

You should go down for yourself and check it out. You planning on getting one?
