Honda S660

[mag9556]

I thought these S660 are recon cars?

You need AP to import these car where cost around RM 30k got jalan RM 18k can get, excise duty will be few times your car value, then follow by import GST of 6% + those runner fees, forwarding agent, Ocean Freight from Japan to Malaysia.. that cost higher than the car price dont know how many times already.

There is another way still legal but you need a lot of cash in hand to buy one since no loan can be take to buy it from Japan..

You spoke my mind!

Hahaha that's the first thing that came on my mind that is light & nimble.

Thought about it. But the cheapest Lotus recon is above 200k and used units are 100k+ with no chance of loan. Forget about the ancient Elise, too many stories about unreliable gearboxes and expensive maintenance.

By that I assume you are talking bout the exige? Actually you want it to be light in stock form like Lotus, or gutted interior kind of light weight

I prefer it be stock form light. Stock gutted like the S202 Impreza is nice but I don't really like the bug eye design for the S202.

But then, why did those recon BRZ and 86 are being sold cheaper than this? Some recon WRX STI can also be had for like 150-160k. Base price of these cars alone are already higher than S660.

Because those "popular" cars have importers. No one is importing the S660 yet except grey importers. The S660 is expensive in Japan because of its K car status so it translates to expensive here as well.

WRX and all those more popular cars are more expensive because of demand. In Japan they are sold for peanuts in comparison.

Yeah man. But anyone who does get the highest variant is dumb cuz the differences between the base model and highest model is accessories. Which is kinda pointless. I'd just install a reverse camera and a hardtop and I'm done happy with the car.

At least way much faster and much better looking, plus easier to sell too later.

Which one? The S660 is more valuable or the Lotus?

AP is a very subjective thingy where there is a lot of ways you can obtain an AP but there is also a lot of rules and regulations in the AP as well where me not a runner nor working in MITI where do not know how to explain to you.

Sorry ya, i am not car dealer where do not know how to explain to you regarding the price of recond cars since price is set buy the seller themself not the G but their profit is quite high compare to selling new cars or registered used cars

Lotus.

A hardcore cornering track car - this superharged Elise S would be pretty nice. But as a daily - I don't think so.

The S660 is cheaper to maintain being only a 3-cylinder and has less complicated parts plus it will have incredible FC in comparison to the Lotus. RON100 x RM50 can bring the S660 to 550-600km total even with hooning. Direct fuel injection in a 3-cylinder turbo! Who would've thunk.

I guess it all boils down to what you want and need. I need a fun daily to replace my fuel guzzling family car. But daaaaamn that Elise S is sweet as f*k.

Well Elise is not meant for daily anyway, unless you're a real hardcore track guy who can tolerate just about anything in the name of going fast. If want a fun daily 2 seater sports car, better get the MX5.

Why? I'm genuinely asking. And which model? Everyone keeps saying that and everyones against the honda for some reason.

Coz it looks much nicer, wider, RWD with agile handling, and of course faster too plus can be modded to be more powerful. This S660 honestly I don't see anything special about it, just like a toy car, way too small.

I quite like this generation. You can sell off your Syphilis and buy this, not too much to top up, but yeah quite old already.
