13177 Hypersonic April 3, 2011 Share April 3, 2011 (edited) This is the cons in buying a 2nd hand car, no matter which make/model. Which is why, after you have purchase the 2nd hand car, best is to send the car for full servicing, change all the oil etc and have the car checked, if can, change the tyre, do alignment and balancing as well. Cause you never know whether the previous owner got regularly svc the car properly. Even the previous owner got maintain the car regularly, but to play safe i still strongly recommend to do a full servicing.

Lamour Neutral Newbie April 4, 2011 Share April 4, 2011 cool i wanted to get one but no more in the market already liao, dun mind telling me the price u paid for ur ride Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurty Supercharged April 4, 2011 Share April 4, 2011 yeah, same here bro. i was looking for a neo too. too bad, sg don't bring in the cps version but this car is pretty nasty. if you were to spend around few k on it, you could actually tuned it to a 165bhp for a NA engine. best part of all, maintainability is cheap. seriously.. you ought to go malaysia for all the repair and reworks. so tell me, how much you get your neo?

Oh yes, I read about the Mit 4G series engine. The MIVEC 4G92 I think. Direct drop in and monster NA power!! However, I am after something more powerful..... How about 4G63T instead with 4WD conversion.....yum yum.... Edited April 8, 2011 by Mona-vie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mona-vie 1st Gear April 12, 2011 Author Share April 12, 2011 I got no problems with Proton so far after changing from Continental dan Jap cars So far so good. I am not worried about mechanical reliability with Proton cars. I read good things about them. What really worries me is the electronics. They are as fragile as BMWs....lol......
