Worth it?

[Luv_presea]

hi all.. been thinking of getting a ride thats cheap to run and buy.. looking at VW Caddy & Presea.. friends suggested i took opc and some say take newer cars but that means high mthly installments.. any suggestions? and is interest for loan very high?

 

i know van's rd rax is 250 for 6mths and it can do 14km/l easily.. also insurance is cheaper since its not based on age of driver.. currently saw some going for 17-18k with coe till 2013..

 

advise pls.. thanks!

but got restrictions which means the van is still more worth.. thats why i rather getting a van.. or coe cars which cost 200-300mthly..

I have driven the caddy before... Personally is think that it is more worth than getting an OPC if the vehicle is used for personal usage, eg; not for family outings etc...

go test out the caddy and presea. the presea if in good condition is a very bargin ride at less then 10k!

 

ur dad used to own a presea rite? u should understand how much its parts cost roughly should u need to change any due to wear and tear.

[Sickscientist]

Furthermore, parts for Presea may no longer be in stock here... Unless u hunt them down in Scrapyards/halfcut shops..

[So_nice]

now u can fix windows at the side of the vans rite? would be nice if u fix it. put a small sofa or something behind and some cool ICE and ur caddy would rocks.

[So_nice]

its true..if u want to look at coe cars..do consider the corolla G7(AE101) or the starlet (EP80) still got alot of parts around. and i can assure u a well maintained starlet is a fun ride!

[Luv_presea]

its for personal usage to get me from Upp thomson to Lim chu kang end which is very inconvenient.. only looking at it as a form of transport..

[Sickscientist]

Yes... The AE101.. Owned one before... They are still running fine and dandy on our roads...

[Luv_presea]

yup.. dad's presea was in very good condition as he changed lots of parts.. but the FC is quite bad compared to the van.. drove presea before and its ok lo.. nv drove the van before.. need to confirm buying den can test.. thats what the dealer told me..

[Luv_presea]

yup.. its allowed and looks cool if its tinted too.. the problem about caddy is u can put sofa at the rear cos it doesnt have side doors.. but its ok though cos i'm only using it as a daily transport for me from home to work place..

[Luv_presea]

is this the AE101 u're talking about? look at the price.. wonder if its true though..

then put some mats on the floor instead. hehe. but i seriously suggest u to go test out a caddy before buy it. cuz u wont know if u like it at all.

 

i bought my starlet without testing it but i'm glad i'm loving it now.

 

have u ever considered the suzuki every or daihatsu hijet?
