All about cars in Malaysia

Mulling over a new car vs used car in JB when my Singapore car gets scrapped next year. What are the brothers' experiences and choices made in this area? What kind of loan quantum and loan duration can a Singaporean get on a new car or a used one, can share?

Just get a 1st hand Myvi. Cheap, gd and high resale value.

Toyota Wish, Mazda 8 or Toyota Estima are good.

Proton Exora cheap but under powered.

Perodua Alza not recommended.

Not sure on bank loan requirements in Malaysia. Best is for you to visit showrooms in JB and ask.
Some car dealers have financial arrangements with banks.

I noticed that some of the 2nd hand cars listed for sales have very low mileage. Example, this 4 years old Audi with only 20,000km.... How can it be? Malaysia is a much bigger country than Singapore. My 4 years car already registering 120,000km.

Those are imported used cars. People in Europe or Japan change cars like changing clothes.
My advice is to buy those popular models cos it canbe easily repaired. However, check and see if those cars are suitable for local conditions.

..Proton Exora cheap but under powered..

Get the Turbo then.
Had mine since launch now almost four years no problem just regular service.

Pros: Reliable. Fantastic value. Space. Coldest aircon ever. Safety (latest model comes with ESP). I was hit from behind while slowing down to join a highway jam. Radiator of the car behind met his compatriot, the battery. My Exora just a scratch on the rear bumper cover. Underneath was a solid beam now slightly bent.

Cons: Consumption could be better.

The other MPV Iwas considering as it to offers a better drive and safety features is the Peugeot 5008.
But at RM150,000, it is not worth 2 times the price of the Exora.

The only MPV I'm seriously looking as a worthwhile upgrade to the Exora is the Benz R300L.
