What is cheapest passenger car with auto gear & ABS

Recommended Posts

My car is due for scrap soon, and am thinking of getting another car. Am budget conscious and no not mind size, style or performance, but as wife and/or my dad might sometimes drive it too, am looking for a car that has auto transmission and also ABS (for basic safety concern).

 

Old car is fine, and am thinking of the non-jap makes as cars of 4-8 yr old came in at time when yen was strong so jap makes should be more expensive?

 

Am thinking of Chevrolet Aveo. Is that the cheapest car that comes with auto and ABS?

 

Anyone has any advice on this? Much appreciated.

 

tks.

GIVE THE chance to own a GOOD OLD MERC E200-16v W124 , 4 dr , ABS , AUTO , a real masterpiece of its ERA ....

very solid , very reliable , very cheap spares and low maintaince and high in prestige ......

This is the longest surviving model ( 1985 till 1996 ) ............

i personally hv owned since (1986 , 1993 and 1995 masterpiece models )

very good family car ....

Road tax heavy but its buying price is cheap ! even cheaper than a chery !! [thumbsup]

Agree. Spare parts are easy to find. If you want to replace parts, just go to one of those places that specialise in mercedes w124 spare parts. As for installation, get a workshop to install it for you. Try not to go to workshops and ask them to get the parts for you because it's gonna be damn expensive. The auto transmission is super solid. Furthermore it will never roll backwards or forwards on an incline. Get the ones made in 1993 or younger because those are using the more powerful 16V engine

Errr.... thanks, but Chery QQ while got auto, doesn't have ABS right?

 

Also, got no faith in China car.

 

Am budget conscious, so need to get best value out of (little) money.

 

Mit GLX am sure got ABS, but not cheap.

 

And while old Merc should be tough, i'm not in that league. Just need a cheap auto that comes with ABS...

Hi there,

I'm a self employed person running a school stall. Would like to own a car. But not sure if I should get a "kangoo" or a normal plate cars. I dont declare my tax cause running a school stall is already quite low with school holidays and all that. Would like to ask for anybody help if I would like to buy a "kangoo" that is within my budget of less than 10K per month. Do I need to pay tax? And if I dont, how do i buy them than? And can I still get a car that is less than 10K for my daily use of buying of my school stall stocks??

 

Anyone, can pls help me??

Whoa! Yes, they may look cheap to buy at 1st glance, but if you don't intend to renew COE, depreciation is sky high!! [sweatdrop]

Yes, you actually CAN! But I don't think you can drive them for long. A Kangoo seems like a good compromise between a car and a commercial vehicle, get the ones with glass windows in the rear for a more airy feel. Can change car every 2 years or so summore!

Well the 1993 ones have lower depreciation

As for low depreciation, that's why i suggested the one with the COE til 2019. I think that's pretty much a good buy if one's on a budget and looking for something that's reliable.

Yeah. But that one didn't have the 16V engine that came highly recommended.

 

Still, it's a very reasonably priced car. Just asking for info, if it doesn't have the 16V engine, will it still be just as good only less powerful?
