Hyundai's resale values are quite strong. The number 1s in the market are still stalwarts like Toyota and Honda, lah, but if you compare with Nissan or Mitsubishi the Koreans are better. Quote

Nissan Qashqai is a nice powerful car, but ex ex ex I was on Boreno Motors website, their website no more certified pre-owned. Looks like business is very good leh Quote

LeanMature Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 If I buy a second hand car, who will pay for STA Inspection? Is it true that if passed, buyer paid. If failed, seller paid ?

If failed, seller paid ? typically market practice is buyer pay. Unless the car already comes with an STA certificate from the dealer so even if it fails, the payment is still borne by buyer because buyer is the one who requested for it. Take the $188 charge as a form of insurance, lah. LeanMature 1 Quote

Wahlau top up a few thousand can get the Mitsubishi Attrage or Hyundai Accent liao. Attrage got 7 airbags while Accent is using a 4 cylinder engine and has all round disc brakes. Both these cars got bigger boots and better resale than Axia. But ok lah, Axia will be very cheap to service because anything wrong can just go up north. Quote

SpaceStar in SG is quite high specced, so it's different from the ones USA have. But both attrage and SpaceStar are shit to drive because the 3 cylinder engine vibrates a lot and sounds horrible. I'd take the Accent any day. Agree the hatch is seriously ugly haha maybe that's why Komoco doesn't bring it in anymore. Got all-new Accent being launched overseas already though. I find Toyota cars freaking overpriced now. The Vios is like $86,888. Wahlau. Can buy Korean family car or MIJ Honda Jazz. Top up $2,000 can get Mazda 3. Quote

Yes, the monthly expenses make it economically irrational to own a car. Even before starting the car, you pay car park, insurance, road tax. All these add up to ard $400. You can use this money to buy a 32"tv monthly. Haha. Then think about petrol, instalment (car plus interest plus opportunity cost of investing the amount), ERP, maintenance, repair, public car park, fines..... Unless you also make (more) money like the way you can throw money (buying a car), then can but without consideration Quote

And to get any power out from the engine one must floor the pedal which leads to a lot of noise and vibration... and the fuel economy goes down too. That said it is possible to achieve 20km/l on that thai tin can if you drive it REALLY SLOWLY and feather the accelerator. Haha. Quote
