Why ESi? Why not an EG9 VTi? Looks the same except it has a sunroof and a DOHC engine. More power.Originally posted by jadedguy:hey all bros here, im a newbie driver who just got his class 3 recently.
passed in sept and im actively looking for a ride cuz i need a mode of transport to camp and to uni after i ord!
im currently lookin at coe cars, esp, the honda civic esi auto models cuz im paying at least 80% of the car, with my dad topping up the rest. ive been researching around, calling, checking out the classifieds.
so far, i realised that selling price range from 27.8k to 30k, reasonable?
and how much downpayment should i put down? $500 for the 'paperwork'?
ive test drive some of the cars and noted their performance and other technical aspects. does any of the bros here have any tips to further 'confirm' to see whether the car is a junk or a gem?
and any bros got any good workshops to recommend to replace wear and tear parts? thanks!![]()
the one which is the base model of evo6? pie-shaped rear lights?Originally posted by michibichi:dun buy such a old car dude... whats a common advise. if u are looking for something that is affordable and realible i would say .. go for the Mitsubishi Lancer Mx . which i'm currently driving and in already in the midst of a change. u can ask the dealers for these cars .. its a 1.5L DOHC engine . With its Twin cam .. it can own any GLX , GDI , GLXI on the road currently .. of course cars that havent been mod. at the price of about $48k . with 6 yrs left. its worth buying.. u will never experience the car breaking down when u need it so badly .. cos it hasnt even broke down/ overheat on me for 2 whole years ( my 1st car since got my licence ) . I barely serviced it and normal servicing only cost $60 - $120 depends on what u wish to change etc etc. and i do that like only once every 4-5 mths . in the 1.5 L class this is the best pick up i can find as the max torque is @ 3000rpm . i might be wrong but i have tried with friends who owns sunnys , corollas , civics , newer lancers , subaru imprezzas .. and each time i own. so i think its a good buy without any mods. okie cheers. pardon me if im wrong.. but its thru experience![]()
