Small auto cars are generally super drinker, not worth it. Can drink more petrol than >2L auto car in the real world motoring. No joke. Be prepared to get less than 10km/L for most of your shortlisted cars above if your home carpark is multi-storey.

well, i did call up. said to be around 80k-90k..

even so, i don't trust them on this.

 

i even ask for warranty but regret to say, none..

even thought of trading mine but after hearing the model and make, the evaluation is around 10k at most..

amazing, yet those car dealers got the cheek to sell 18.6k or a fold..

 

colt the biggest problem is gearbox. aircon, suspension all these still manageable expense at this age of car. my fren had this experience n the cost of the GB is 6k. she sold it for a jazz but stil rates the colt higher.

anyw i thk u better go get some actual quotes for your car to see if u shd proceed further. the sgcm selling price cannot take at 100%.

my car will be 5 years old this year and like you I'm also thinking of changing car.

I reckon the resale value might be better now so its the right time to sell. probably buy a new kia since the designs have improved.

but first i need to find a buyer for my high mileage car at the right price.

 

 

This high mileage problem is considered solved.

 

Sell to car dealer lor. Example- Original 150K mileage but by the time dealer put on sale it will be only 40K as under utilised by previous owner &/or never been to M'sia &/or 100% parked under shelter &/or weekly grooming by detailer.

 

Solved?

i did a search yesterday, up my budget 5k to see what more could i consider.

 

a 2 owner jazz, jan 06 at 30k.. normal plate

 

Ford Fiesta 1.6A 5DR, sep 06 at 30k, normal plate

 

Kia Cerato 1.6A HB (OPC) ranges from 27-30k but opc.. 06 batch

 

fiat punto 1.3A, mar 06, around 27k

http://www.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.ph...456&DL=2035

 

i even consider the opel mevina or whatever.. but after reading the manual/auto gear.

it seem to face the same problem with our proton savvy AMT.

thus, out.

 

 

 

i like punto, but seem that reviews about this car is little..

questions like specs or maintenance or replacement of parts came in.

 

actually, i don't need a normal plate.

what i intend to do, covert it to opc.

get a rebate of 1.1k every 6 mths.

4 yrs x 2.2k, 8.8k rebate.

 

 

considerable? pls enlighten.

Although sg nowadays many cars on the road, but if compared to some other countries, sg jam consider still ok lo. [rolleyes]

yeah, thats why i consider too.

 

how come no one is going for aveo5? cannot make it?

 

Heavy drinker with poor acceleration, cant say reliable for GM parts though. You can drop the idea of aveo5.

no doubt abt tht but they also offer rock bottom price when taking it in.

in this case they probably earn more compared to buying an originally low mileage car to resell.
