Budget 80K only, what choice do I have?

[Chibibotto]

Was wondering which car fetch better resale value. And was surprise to see alot of 06 civic on sale. Could there be a problem with the car? Or are Singaporean simply rich? The interior look deteriorated. Any one driving one can comment if the car interior get old very fast?

 

As for the Legacy, quite a lot of GT on sale. But the 2.0R only a few. Maybe like what you say, resale value bad..so all keep it. But then again, lesser legacy is on the road. So this is why lesser ppl selling too bah.

 

Anyway, thanks for the advice. So you driving the civic now? Any regrets?

[Chibibotto]

I do think so. But alot selling leh..so ppl who look in the 2nd hand market may got more choice. so still easy to sell? i really dont know leh. And also when come to more than 3 yrs, most of our cars will be exported. Anyone know if for export, is civic still getting better value? Could legacy be more in demand oversea?

[Chibibotto]

Did you change the front panel to install the lcd? i need to bring over my lcd too if i get the civic. But will not have the function of the steering control on the steering wheel liao.

[Chibibotto]

hmm...the resale value in sgcarmart still look ok though..but will sell a not only the dealer know bah.

[Chibibotto]

same sentiment...like the legacy feel..but got a lot of worries in owning it...like the civic..but wah..every alternate lot in my car park seems to see a civic park there..hahaha

i suggest getting the RAV4 2.4 X @ $76700. a few k more than stream and civic. 2.4cc vvti is surely powerful enough to go north. $76700 for a 2.4cc is bang for bucks IMHO. very hard to find another 2.4cc in that price range.

$76,700 .. thats cheap. whats the catch?

Yes, change panel. I am using Alpine controller to use back steering control.

R u prepared for 6km.l to own the Legacy? . I test drove the R version. Nice drive but when i saw the FC it shows 6km/l. I think the GT will be even more siong. Maybe thats why maybe LGT being sold cos the owner cant afford to pay the current pump prices!

[Sniperben]

catch is require min of 80% loan and tenure of 7 years.

 

price quoted is before cash rebate. 4 bids guaranteed COE with no capped amount & no top up. on the road price. no agreement fees and hidden costs! i only require you to pay for your first year insurance premium & first month installment upon collection of your new ride.

 

accessory include:

solar film

sport rim

leather seat

reverse sensor

DVD player with reverse camera

 

if you need further detail, pls PM or come over to my merchant thread. don't wish to turn this into another sales thread of mine.

Thank you for your recommendation. I don't think I'll drive a Toyota.

Yes, change panel. I am using Alpine controller to use back steering control.

 

I'm thinking hard whether to retain the HU panel or to change to FD4 type and put in a DVD player. The major concern is not to give up the audio control on the Steering wheel. I was told very few brands actually support the FD audio control.

Alpine definitely can use back steering control. As for whether to retain or not, it all depend how particular are you with music.

 

I initially had my setup with original HU and using Alpine H701 processor. But I have to say when I upgrade to a proper HU which I using now, the sound is really different. Totally worth the investment!

Hi Guys,

 

Thanks for all the suggestion. I have firm the deal on my next ride. Choosen a CRV instead. Didnt go for the legacy as the price diff wasnt too much from the CRV. Hope this is a correct choice then.

 

Hope everyone enjoy their ride. :)

Epica - +point is price and nice interior

VTI-S - +point is looks and umm value ?

Stream - might be more comfortable for long journey?

 

Umm, considered Tucson? also much cheaper and quite spacious(compare to sedan)

 

No offence to tucson owners but

I tried driving one up to malaysia

Before n almost vomit blood. The power is non existence, super noisy engine n hi fc

[Carcraze]

It's a good choice!

 

You got the 2.0 or 2.4?
