Old Nissan March
-
Nissan March registered 96 cost $15k is it worth buying? I am not looking for a long term car only wish to have a car as a transport to work. Parf value is around 9k.
Is this car good?
Parf value means we can get back the money is it?
Pls advice -
15k is slightly below the market rate for this car. that means u arent paying more than u should. the car is considered the king of 1 litre cars last time. however, its still a 1 litre car and so, dun expect very high performance. its good enuf to travel around in sg. fc is rather low too. and yeah PARF value is the $$ u are gonna get back when u scrap the car.Originally posted by lahgal:Nissan March registered 96 cost $15k is it worth buying?

Hey brother... see this http://www.sgcarmart.com/main/info.php?cid=SCK9183C&did=1035
This '96 March costs $14300. Parf rebate is $9700. More worth it.

hmmm true la. but horrors! check out the colour! summore the entire car is stock. eek. no leather seats, no spoiler, no bodykit, no nothing. hmmm but should be suitable for lahgal?
-
ai yo , stock or not stock also not much different for me loh..coz i only need a transport . Actually eyeing on this car also! but dun like the color. Auto and manual which is better? by the way road tax only $250 for 6 mths only!

haha thats why i say u can consider mah. the colour turns everybody off i will think. wonder why the owner chose this colour. juz to be different? for 1 litre cars, pls consider manual ones. especially since its second hand and is already 8 yrs old. auto ones surely not very powerful. but if the condition is good, den shouldnt be a problem either, esp if u prefer driving auto cars. road tax obviously is cheap la! 1 litre nia leh. 500 per year. or as u calculated, 250 for 6 months.Originally posted by lahgal:ai yo , stock or not stock also not much different for me loh..coz i only need a transport .

she looking for transport leh. u think she looking for sports car? sg speed limit is 90 only u want 115 for wad? get demerit and pay fines izzitOriginally posted by ceecookie:dun take auto lar, so slow, and somemore the 5th gear got lag...........top speed only 115+ liao..... -
auto car can go to 5th ger? auto mean auto right? or you mean manual car when reach 5th ger can only go up to 115. One more Q, why must get leather seat? stock car better right? at least not anyhow mod before like a new one.
So to say after 2years which is 2006 i can get 9K but is it? cash is it? Or is it that 9k is only valid when u are buying another new car then they deduct one?
Abit confused

so well read
doubt anyone knew that the auto march had 5 forward gears
maybe even the nissan engineers didnt noe that u noe that there were 5 forward gears in the auto march
wow -
auto cars got electronic brains to "decide" which gear is best for ur speed at that moment. some newer cars can even attempt to decipher ur driving style. to have leather seats is easier to manage and clean. whether its more comfy to u anot is very objective.Originally posted by lahgal:auto car can go to 5th ger? auto mean auto right? or you mean manual car when reach 5th ger can only go up to 115.

dun think u gonna get cash back tho i am not v sure about this. i think its more likely the amount u can use to offset the downpayment for a new car, but i may be wrong. -
auto means auto. but it still has 4 or 5 gears. juz that the car decides, not u, on when to change gears. manual is more powerful and can get more den 115. leather seat is easier to clean (for eg. when there are spills etc). comfort wise, as normalboi said, its subjective. do u prefer a leather sofa or fabric sofa? same applies to car seats. stock car is better, but the mods i meant are cosmetic mods. nothing done to the engine, exhaust, etc.Originally posted by lahgal:auto car can go to 5th ger? auto mean auto right? or you mean manual car when reach 5th ger can only go up to 115.

yeah u can get 9k cash if u get dealers to scrap ur car for u. obviously they make some $$ off your 9k. if u want the full amount, it isnt in cash. its juz a piece of paper u can use to offset the COE for ur new car, ie. 9k discount off the new car's COE. so it depends on whether u intend to buy a new car. if u do, den use the rebate fully. if u dun, might as well lose some $$ to the dealer and get 8+k right? better den getting nothing back at all. and u need not handle any paperwork for scrapping ur car. -
oic loh. of coz i wan to take back cash :$
sorry one more question
when buying the car is the milege important ? if its 134,000 then better dun buy is it?
sorry guys for asking so many questions =) -
forums are meant for asking qns and asking for lobangs IMHO. summore this is a general car forum. mileage the higher it is the more it has been driven before. juz hope the car is serviced regularly. if it is, there is no reason why a 134000km car isnt worth buying.
-
If not if you have more money to buy then buy a '95 Impreza WRX STi 22B
-
oh yeah. a car roughly clocks 20000 to 30000 km every year if driven frequently. that is if u drive it from changi to tuas and back everyday for a whole year. its a reasonable mileage. so for 134000km, it shld be around 4.5 to 6.5 yrs old. if it is younger than that, it has been driven a lot. ie. maybe to KL and back often (which isnt good). if it is very very old (14 yrs old or so), best to avoid the car. either its been driven so much that 1 cycle was completed, or its been used very little (maybe it spent much of the time in car workshops??). haha. juz my opinion and hopefully, a rough guide for u.

Actually quite ok loh.
I am driving a May 98 March 1.0 Auto. FC is between 10.5 (for city driving and "zhua" all the way type) to between 12.5-13 average 50% city 50% expressway.
Normally use 95 petrol. If you want slightly better pick up, try 98 or better and you can feel the difference. Forget about 92 with march 1L auto. cannot make it "phui"
My have ABS, leather sit, child lock. Only complain is no bodkit and reverse sensor.
But if you want to cheap and relaible car, March, being Japan made, is definately better then others.
Top speed for full load of 5ppl is about 110km/h. If just you alone, can go up to 130km /hr no prob. only thing is remember to change the tyre. Original type is small and bad at cornering. I change my to a bigger rim and broader base and it help in improving the handling.
Only complain is boot is damm bloody small and pickup is not fast if used with 95 petrol.
By the way I test drive Kia picanto auto as well. This car can, being twin cam, can beat it anytime. The rev at high speed aroung 90Km/h is smoother than Picanto which tend to be noiser. Pickup is also slightly better.
Yes 1L car, its definately the king and have one of the biggest 1L cabin space.
Hope the info help. -
Hi Lahgal
If buy 2nd hand car, ask the sales rep if he can get from the original owner all receipt for repair and regular maintainance.
Responsible drivers who look after car will keep it as a reference how often he check his car and replace parts.
Watch out for repairs that are done which is normally not due to wear and tear. If car owner goes for regular servicing, then it a good sign too which mean car will tend to have less prob. Note: Nissan march has a list of item to check till 100k mile servicing. So that should give you a good guage of how the different part is functioning. Thing like Air con/radiator shouldn't give any prob at all e.t.c....
Check for car history esp if kanna "kiss" before. Insist of seeing the repair bills if it is a accident car to the front. You never know what kind of internal damage done. If possible. bring a mechanic along during inspection. Ask for freind to recommand you thier regular mechanic and treat him a good lunch and some $$ should help you alot along the way...
Finally once you get the car, send for major 50k or 100k servicing. Will help to tune the car back to better condition. FC will generally improve slightly as well after that. -
Nissan march auto only can go up to 4th gear. To be a bit technical, the gear ratio for 4th gear is abt or slightly lower than the manual 5th gear. So with the same engine speed, it will reach the same speed, everything else being constant, you are not at a disadvantage with one less gear in the sense.Originally posted by lahgal:auto car can go to 5th ger? auto mean auto right? or you mean manual car when reach 5th ger can only go up to 115.
