Keep MIJ Corolla or buy a new Airwave

[Fondue]

Hi bros n sis,

 

Say you have a 3++ yr old made-in-Japan Corolla with loan almost paid up, would you keep it or sell and change to a new Honda Airwave with the current COE price ?

Financially, able to handle either choice.

 

Major considerations are :

 

1. FC

2. Maintenance issue

3. Long term cost

4. Comfort and handling

 

Appreciate your inputs

Current COE price? what do you mean?

 

With COE reduced by $9k, most car dealer only reduce the cat price by $4k. So if you think you can gain from this $8k COE, think again.

change lah, 3++ yr old warranty is over ready,

but not only Airwave, because it from PI, have to think twice

70k below alot of choice mah

[Weichien]

now sell and just before 5th year sell not much diff what.

keep until 5th year and buy another airwave if you want lor.

den corolla and keep for spare car. or price high enough that suit you den sell lor

your MIJ Corolla is a few good cars...keep it.

 

look around on the road, those old G9 corollas are still alive & kicking while the rest all go up lorry already.

 

like the old saying, if it ain't broken, don fix it.

 

sekali you buy new car gives you more headache...

 

just like got a very good wife, LC itchy go and look for a mistress ..somemore MIC one

If my loan is almost paid up,I 'll probably keep it for a long while to enjoy the 'loan-free' feeling.It's in fact a joy to know that there's one lesser thing to worry about .

What will you choose for a budget STRICTLY below 70K ??

 

Any improvement on the warranty and servicing aspect of PI cars ?

the MIC is not refering to Airwave right ....

 

quite true about the G9 being alive n kicking, ... .. . and the itchy part too

[Slowmo]

why would u be so eager to get yourself in another debt after getting out of one?

[Lala81]

Without a doubt, keep it. unless u need the extra seats

[Zoom99]

Me also an ex-G9 owner.

 

Itchy change ride.

 

After I regret it.

 

G9 is one of the few good budget cars!

[Fcw75]

What extra seats? The Airwave oso 5 seaters.

[Friendstar]

agreed

 

if it was a old lancer etc

i sure change

 

but G9 corolla

 

i sure keep

[Friendstar]

maybe he meant extra space

[Sniperben]

if the car is not giving you too much of a technical problem, why not keep it? change to something better than your current ride. from corolla to airwave, i don't see anything worth the change.. just my 2 cents.

[Ahyoo2002]

Lancer so bad? I am holding to one now

[Rollagt]

I am driving a FL 2003 hipporolla..till today I still like it alot.

Comfy,spacious and easy to drive..

 

My advice is also same as the rest. Keep it.

 

With the costs rising here and there plus the recent annoucement of addition of ERP gantries, it would be comforting to know that ur loan is almost paid up.
