yea, i had browsed thru it. but i'm consider abt this car, i think there's slightly different sparepart between CL7 2.0 and CL7 euroR right? i found this 2.0 with normal i-vtec engine, accordin to de seller, it's ex-diplomatic car and 160000km done, so i'm concern abt de maintenance, worried that hard to take care of this car and sparepart expensive or hard to get .. pls help! TQ

engine parts should be no problem 2 find it since its k series(plenty n interchangeable for some parts even with type r k series), the only problem with the external parts quite hard 2 find due 2 rare status for this model. if yr budget is 'ngam2' evey month this car is not for u..

 

[Rossi]

alright, so it's nt hard to take care of this car right?other sparepart cost jz almost same with normal accord and nt big different is it.. lol, u mean if budget 'ngam2' for this car without any extra budget would be hard for this CL7? my main concern was worried de car will get problems easily, suddenly come out bunchs of faulty, need spends many money to repair it.. so normal CL7 2.0 i-vtec quite easy to maintain and take car like normal sedan civic , accord ? really thanks a lot, u'd help a lot, TQ!!

Pls worried also if de car will get accident easily, suddenly come out bunchs of bull driver, need spends many money to repair body, too.. some time with money u cant found parts..

 

[udengfahlawi]

that's the price to pay for being different laa....higher risk but a better looking car compare to the local Accord....if I were in the market for an Accord, I'll take the CL7 anytime rather than them local ones....just take the risk, bro.....it's worth it, IMO....then drive carefully, and hope for the best that other idiots won't hit your car ler.....better yet go for the EuroR lar.....

'ngam2' if u have no money 2 spend in case something happened 2 yr car involving external also interior parts will cost u a lot of times(2 find spare parts) n money. stock CL7 2.0 i-vtec is quite easy to maintain similar like civic n accord. just send yr car service on time should be no problem. u mentioned car mileage is 160K km so tear n wear are normal.

Need not worry about the spare parts ! Hk got many, and also japan. Sure there are ways to get the parts !

But 160k mileage is high to me !

My CF4 now only 150k ! Hehehee....maybe i'm not the travelling often type ! But it's a daily use car ~

And reaching 150k starting to give me headaches ! So, u do the thinking !
