Message: <blockquote data-quote="zan" data-source="post: 357730" data-attributes="member: 9632">hi, nak selit sket. avoid any perdana auto (E55 GL/SE)at all cost. normally, poorly maintained and after a while starts to give u problem. unless, u r prepared to strip and rebuild the transmission back (which is at a cost), replace with a used auto trans (aiyooo! high risk oso!) or juz swap with a manual gearbox.perdana's 4 cyl 4G63 SOHC engine is oso known for reliability problems. one chinese foremen advised me to avoid. but u can alwiz look at alternatives like 4G63 DOHC NA or turbo or better still 6A12 V6. becoz the 4G63 is only SOHC, power output is circa 120bhp (agak2 laa..) while V6 in standard normally aspirated non-mivec spec produced 150 horses at the wheel. but V6 engines are known to be lazy (no torque at low rpm) thus poorer acceleration compare to the 4 cylinder and higher fuel consumption. with regard to design, the first E55 galant eterna (JDM only) first produced in Japan in 1992. it is very old in design and if i am not mistaken, there are olredi 3 new galant models after that. but it is still nice ride; go for perdana V6 with lotus touch. the low profile 205/55 R16 rides hard but softer springs compensate. earlier 4 cylinder model average to drive, not for spirited driving.equipement is good, power everything (steering, windows, mirrors), SE has autocruise and ABS (V6 oso), standard all disc brake (ventilated in front) and front fog lamp(useful in heavy rain or thick fog). leather seat depends on ur taste. it can get ur bottom cooked after parked in hot sunshine, and may get slippery (try brake hard and all occupants slip onto the floor) but looks better than normal upholstery and easy to clean. to mod perdana is easy enuff, many chop shop selling spare parts. ten year old perdana (1995) should be available below 40K. beware though, after 12 years old it will become hard to finance, so harder to sell and will caused value to drop giler2..gud luck 2u!p/s if budget 40K for perdana SE, why dont buy kelisa? if budget 60K for V6, why dont buy new waja or gen2? new gen2 now comes with twin airbag and ABs at 58K...</blockquote>
