Ahyoo2002 2nd Gear July 18, 2008 Author Share July 18, 2008 Hi all, I have been hearing people saying change car every 3 years since after 3 years no more warranty, but is it really worth to do so? A lot of things must change after warranty too...TV, fridge, washing machine, air-con, wife Many items that you listed I have been using for more than 10 years. Wife can not change. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you are right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahyoo2002 2nd Gear July 18, 2008 Author Share July 18, 2008 change car every 3 years !? I think pp start to change car before reaching five years. 5 Years is equally bad as still lost a lot of money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yamrxz Neutral Newbie July 18, 2008 Share July 18, 2008 Never buy a new car just change to a used car ..the older the car better yearly depreciation not too bad... change to a new car every 3 years = slave to the bank. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahyoo2002 2nd Gear July 18, 2008 Author Share July 18, 2008 Hehe, me trying to convince myself to get a 2nd hand car and save money for raining day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiphiphoray 6th Gear July 18, 2008 Share July 18, 2008 (edited) Wow the Sonata seems goodOnly $35k and simply love the number 7766... hehe....i just change over to a 2nd hand 2.5yr old Sonata. See my avartar. Huge legroom/boot and penty of metal & power that comes with it. The car is stable & quiet. You wont even feel anything @ speed in excess of 120km/hr. What i love most is the seat cushion. Very soft and nice to seat. The cut-throat price is more than enough to cover the car's poorer FC. Damn worth yr money!!!!!

Ahyoo2002 2nd Gear July 18, 2008 Author Share July 18, 2008 Yah, the loan is getting bigger and bigger for some car buyers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahyoo2002 2nd Gear July 18, 2008 Author Share July 18, 2008 The price seems dropping a lot compare to the time when you gotten your Sonata 2 months back? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiphiphoray 6th Gear July 18, 2008 Share July 18, 2008 (edited) Ya....i have notice it too. 35k for a 3yr old. The most value for money car in the re-sale market now. Sonata's nearest rival the Camry, Cefiro or even the Mark-X is at least 15k more expensive. Anyway, i like this sonata so much, i thinking of getting the new facelift sonata with CNG.

Check13 3rd Gear July 18, 2008 Share July 18, 2008 I like my car, unless I get a good deal I will not change. cant agree with you more. pay a bit more go for the one you really like so that you'll drive it longer, feel more song because it's a car you really like and save at least a few k too because you don't change so fast. look longer term when buying a car and make sure you really like it and will drive it for a min 5 yrs. you feel better and lose lesser this way.

Ahyoo2002 2nd Gear July 18, 2008 Author Share July 18, 2008 Good that you love your car. Me trying to convince myself to get 2nd hand MPV as the 1st owner help me to bear most of the cost liao. I noticed that some of the MPV that I looking at also drop price by about $5k on average compare to 2 months back, which is good news for me. So I am thinking can observed a bit more. The current pricing of 2nd hand car is indeed very attractive. As for my current car, no change in car body value even if I wait longer as above 5 years liao.

Ahyoo2002 2nd Gear July 18, 2008 Author Share July 18, 2008 That is what most people will said before getting their car. And they will start to think different;y after 2-3 years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damienic 5th Gear July 18, 2008 Share July 18, 2008 A lot of singaporeans had this notion car shld be changed every 3 yrs to avoid facing potential problems occuring to the cars and also more "woo hua" to do so..I think all this are really modern day myth happening only on our unique island..

Acemundo Supercharged July 18, 2008 Share July 18, 2008 basically, i am amazed lor... even supposedly educated managerial level friends i meet also think car is worthless after 5 years hence best to sell it before 5 years old. now i finally understand if a myth gets perpetuated by a sufficiently big volume of people, it seemingly becomes the "truth" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffang Neutral Newbie July 18, 2008 Share July 18, 2008 3 yr is good... not just warranty, and the insu too, cos below 3 yrs can get 1 party, and if anything wrong with car, just change part by part... if after 3 yrs... then they just repair, and sometime give u old part... Hi all, I have been hearing people saying change car every 3 years since after 3 years no more warranty, but is it really worth to do so? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
