1 year depreciate only 3k ah?Originally posted by drumstick:It would be advisable to buy new ones.
Price diff wont be much at the most 3k different . Second hand finance interest is slight 0.1- 1 % higher.
Go for first hand. 05 Jan - June would be about the same price as a brand new one now. 05 Nov - 06 April would only be 3k lower. Unless your fren can find anyone who can slash down their price on the 2nd hand car. Or those desperate seller who would sell at paper value.
all not worth to get 2nd hand...y? bcos 2 models already can reach top speeds in a matter of low secs and translate that will be like engine may need an overhaul etc etc.Originally posted by guardiANGEL:how much is it worth for these cars in their 2nd hand form? they muz be registered in 2005 or 06...

alfa romeo 156 2.0
please advise on the prices and also tell me wat to look out for when test driving...i'm not driving it, it's my fren who is...i still 17
what u say on engine overhaul i beg to differ. a yr old engine can still be overhauled...just that u have not encountered one doesn't mean it will not happen.Originally posted by jiayong:Personally i wouldnt mind a 2nd hand one.
Euro R uses the Type R K20. It is a very strong engine. Some pple has even termed it as "bulletproof". So unless the car is like 3 years old and the owner whacks the car every day with out ever changing his engine oil, i dun think the engine is in need of a overhaul.
In my opinion, price of the 2nd hand car is important and also it would be good if you knew the history of the car (like a family friend, or a mechanics recommendation).
Feel free to pm me if you want to discuss more in private.
let's just say there're pple who are not so bothered by maintaining their engines for long term simply bcos they have the means to do what they want to do? fair?Originally posted by jiayong:Oh course u can overhaul your engine after a year. In fact u can overhaul your engine anytime u want. Just that i dun think it is an urgent need.
I have not seen any Type R engine that in urgent need of an overhaul after one year.
And if I am such an enthu to think and plan such major projects like the Dynamite Fit, i would be an enthu with enough common sense to take care of my engine with regular servicing.
I whack my car anytime i want till 9K, but i change my oils religiously every 5K.
I would think that my engine is in need of an overhaul anytime soon.
