The challenge is where to find a good condition used car which is close to 10th year.

 

 

can always request to send to workshop to check before commit?

It will have problems after 10 years, realistically. We expect auto gearbox to last 20 yrs without problems?

I bought a 9 year old Jap car and like it a lot. Well maintained by previous owner who went to AD for service and repair. Even thought of renewing COE with 4 months to go before expiry. But now, the auto transmission is suddenly intermittent and my gear lights disappear while driving and the gear kicks down to a lower level. I think a replacement will cause at least a few k. This sort of problem is completely unpredictable. Really depends on your luck.

Your auto transmission needs a service. A common problem for auto transmisson due to waer and tear. just that it is a little costly. You can still drive it but after a while , the problem would become permanent. I did that before. My auto tran went off after 220k km. Service/repair cost about 2.4k. Edited by Ct3833

U have ur point, though mine a 4at, wc I hope can outlast current transmission types. But if factor in this n I drive for another 3 yrs wo further issues then scrap n take back unused coe. But even to repair 4at will probably cost another 2-3k as this is not new tech.

Current mileage at 150k km assuming dealer nvr tweak it. No hesitation, jerk, failure to engage any gear so far. If tahan another 100k km shouldn't b an issue provided I change gear oil every 40k km I think / hope.

Oh pls. It's part of wear and tear, if u know how auto gearbox works. No matter how u take care, it will have problems. Just like brake pads. Will wear off no matter what.

Not about the number of year, it is the mileage travelled and the nature of traffic condition. While we may not travel very far in sgp, the start stop nature of our traffic condition will cause more wear and tear to the components in the auto transmission assembly. The auto trans repair and service is mainly to replce the wear and tear components, generally those gears in the auto box can last nearly forever. Edited by Ct3833

Wow!  Your auto tran lasted 220k km before giving problems? What car are you driving?  The only servicing I've seen done by my mechanic is to change transmission fluid! [laugh] 

 

I figure the repair will be a few k too but with a few months to go, that just adds to the equation of renew COE or buy new car.

It was an Odyssey. Repair cost $2.4k. Had i not repaired it, i would have had to write off about $9k of close to 1 year left depreciation. And assuming i get another new car or a 9 year old car, i would have to pay for another 10k depreciation for the equivalent period, all in all about 20k. I figured it was cheaper to repair it because i knew my car's condition then was quite good, unlikely anything else major need to be repaired. True enough i drove the car till last week before COE expired.

If you like the car and the condition is good, spending a few more k to last for 5 more years is worth considering. After all it adds $500 more per year to the depreciation only. Edited by Ct3833

I sent to  http://www.ellipseauto.com.sg/gearbox.htm at Sin Min for 2.4k.  The other commonly mentioned name is KATC "Khang's auto Transmission". Some MCFers here sent their car to JB which I am told about nearly half price.

just get rid of it and change to newer models, newer cars have better technology

On the contrary, newer cars with more high tech technologies are more prone to breakdowns
