Welcome back! Is worth a try that you are hoping everyone would give you a 2nd chance, but I just have to say,
There will be some replies but not many. Cuz of the story below....

Supra -Thanks ,I was also hoping everyone here can give me a 2nd chance .

haha,but I need 25k cash ready .Cannot loan .

V-spec - Yes this time for real . But need to give me some time la to raise the fund .

25k cash?

with that cash amount, many single men out there already ended their bachelor days.
better save it for marriage.

Peeche - Buy used car is not worth to loan

Sitting for SPM and can't even spell MANUAL correctly......

gosh....

Anyway, 25k cash, you are looking at probably a Mazda 323. Can easily find one below 10k. Then you have to prepare some spare cash which is where your 15k extra would come in handy for:

- suspension
- tear and wear
- bushings
- interior upholstery
- etc.

Since you are not even a graduate yet, I believe your income is not fixed if you have any, I suggest you concentrate on your studies first before all else. Btw, proton are decent, cheap and easy to maintain car.

I drove my Putra during my post-graduate years and learned a lot from it.

Dark-haha sorry for my mistake for manual .

Actually I was thinking of AE101 . Proton gives me a bad image for their cars (no offence ) . How good was putra ?

 

[DarkAccoon]

Depends on how tolerant you are. My putra was pretty good. Besides the wear and tear, no major issues until some idiot whoop me from the back making me a sandwich damaging my front and back.

anyway
if you are looking for AE101, here is a deal
Toyota Corolla Seg AE101 1.6 (M) Pearl White - Cars for sale Selangor - Mudah.my

Low ball it to probably 15k, then you got another 10k to bring it up to condition. Bring a trusted mechanic with you when viewing the car.

 

[hanracing]

Dark- I live in JB ,JB here got one ae101 want to sale 18k with 20v BT .I am planing to get a ae101 with a BT inside cost about 18k and add more 6k in it .

Proton can get many spare parts and can convert to Wiralution or Wajalution in future....

Finally I get see the famous or infamous person's thread. I missed your earlier escapades!

Personally I think you're still just bullsh*tting here because as a student how are you going to pay for maintenance, fuel and wear & tear stuff for a 2nd hand car? What's more you're targetting a 10 year old car with a modified engine which btw makes the engine bay difficult to work with.

Let me break it down for you using the cheapest car I know to maintain and keep in M'sia : the Wira. Not Wiralution or WiraMivec or WiraGSR.. stock standard Wira.

1. Engine oil - most car enthusiasts like yourself would go for semi or fully syn oils. RM90
2. Filters - Oil filter, Air Filter, Fuel Filter. RM10, RM15, RM20
3. Other oils - Brake oil (DOT4), Gear oil, Power Steering oil. RM25/btl, RM75, RM30
4. Clutch - RM450 including install
5. Belts - all belts are about RM25 per belt. Timing belt costs RM50 to RM100 including install
6. Brake pads - cheapass ones cost RM40 a pair for the front. Rear is about RM35.
7. Driveshafts - RM150 give or take including install per side
8. Tyres - RM160 a piece cheapass tyres
9. Engine mounts - RM240 all 4.
10. Oil seals - RM15 a piece. There's about 4 I know of, 2 of which I know you have to drop the gearbox.
11. Oil pump and water pump - I can't remember how much these costs.

What else did I miss? All the prices I quoted are DIY prices except for those that I mentioned including install, since your car will be a 2nd hand one and you don't really know the condition of the car, and yes - I'm anal about the maintenance. You probably won't need to change all the things above but sooner or later you will. So that's a total of RM1680 for M'sias cheapest car excluding labour (for most things).

So I hope you're going to learn how to DIY all of these things and also hope you have a good investment consultant, because if I recall my school days the only financial income I had was allowance and mine was about RM250 a month.

So to save up to buy a RM20,000 car, that's about 7 years, or if you can find a job after SPM and earn about RM800 as a promoter that's 2 years, or have a sugar mommy (assuming you are a dude).

And that's for the cheapest car I can think of. A much older modified AE101 will cost way more than this to maintain. Not to mention the fuel requirements for the beloved blacktop. FC, the urge to use RON97 for high compression, etc.

Are you sure you're in the right position to not consider a non-proton/perodua new car?

Plus motor insurance and road tax about RM600 at least
