if u just pass well i suggest a 2nd hand city or the vios would oso be fine.
u might wanna register the car in the name of a more experienced driver too to save on insurance. -

vwk, i tot u changed over a new leaf liaoz? ppl short but sekali ger leh?
down 15k nowadays can bag u a decent >1.6 sedan. but expect to pay in the region of $600 for a 7 years loan. but with a monthly budget of $500, more likely u'll have to go with a 10 year loan which i would avoid if i could. too much interests going to the bank in this case. this consideration factually omits higher priced jap cars like the mazda3 and the civic. u should be looking at the vios and city in this case. -
thxs for the advice..

eh......don't so petty la....ok ok......
for 7 years loan and 10 yrs loan, you will prob be looking at 2.1% ~ 2.4% per annum.....dependin on the bank you choose......some car companies have in house financing, they might offer you a lower rate just to entice you to buy the car and loan from them. But read the clauses carefully....
As for the choice of cars, I think you should also look at the Korean makes, they have improved tremendously and quality wise. Also, you don't lugi so much when you want to sell...
Think carefully before buying.....I think the Toyota Vios is a good choice for a 1st car buyer. Good power and above average comfort.... -
hw abt the FC of Vios???
-
u can get above 12 km/l even with a relatively heavy right foot.

i m not petty..but thxs for yr serios advice anyway....
-
any more advise??
thxs in advance.. -
suzuki swift might be a gd choice too. S$58k+ for manual. actually i wanted to recommend on the 1.6 getz manual which is at around S$51k? decent power i guess but the thought of no electric wing mirrors, ABS & air bag really puts me off..

A 2nd hand Vios (about 1 yr old) would cost about $49K - $52K now. FC varies between 10 - 15km/l, depending on ur foot.

Try to get those smaller size cars or those similar to ur test center ones.
For the former it will be more easy to maneuver them.
For the latter, you are already familiarize with the size, the footwork of the car.
Maybe for your first car u should consider a second hand car being that for the first yr u will be really learning how to drive and park a car. You sure do not want ur brand new car to be damage in the process. ( I am not stating tat you will or are a bad driver but there is a high chance of New drivers getting into accidents, That will be justified by the P plates on the screen which I had once upon a time.
When u confidence built up u can always change to a newer and bigger size ones in a yrs time...

You can look at the Nissan Sunny 1.6EXM... It gives u lots of accessories such s leather seats, sports rims, reverse sensors, alarm and 2 yrs free maintenance... its very value for money.. Also if u take up in-hse rebate can get $1000 rebate on ur price meaning another 1k disc... Given the current int rate at 2.5% for 7 yrs, u can loan ard $38k with ur $15k D/P... it would give u the 500-550 per mth that u want.. it shld be worth it... besides, i can do re-financing for u immediately.. get u even lower int rate.. haha.. anyone interested?? leave me a msg...

thxs for the advice bro....
nice to hear so much good advice frmu guys out there.

1. New. New car buyers who don't know much should start with authorised dealers. Who knows which PI and 2nd-hand areOriginally posted by JuzSab:1) should i get a new or 2nd hand car.
2) looking for a F.C saving car.
3) Looking for preferably Honda,Toyota or Nissan. 1.6 and below...
4) can bros. advise what is OMV and PARF?? is tis 2 things related?
!!!
2. Vios, Jazz, Picanto, kelisa. Vios is the all time fav, I think. For pro and cons, do a search and you should find tons. Jazz is the next fav with its FC rating of ave 18km/L. Picanto and kelisa are the cheapest car in town and with its small engine, it doesn't drink much. 1.65m, unless you are fat, else you should be fine in them.
3. As listed in Ans 2.
4. One motoring. Do read up a bit first and come back if you are still not clear.

It means customer have to approach them first!Originally posted by JuzSab:......motto display " customer first" ...
Have you try Honda's? I find theirs OK. Or C & C's. Bot Mitsubishi and Kia gave me quite a reasonable experience. -
