For bread n butter .. jazz fit / Hyundai Accent / Toyota Vios / sanyong trivoli All seems reasonable alternative as well as Renault n Skoda.. just that prices has creep upwards n the usual avante n Kia cerato are no longer as cheap as they once were due to the improvement of the cars .

tomyam cars use to be the cars that had quality issue but even nowadays the quality build is hard to fault.. so cheap cars are ok to buy .. May not be a joy to drive unfortunately..

For peace of mind, just go for the new car.

[ER-3682]

New Car,Smell also nicer.

New car smell = poisonous = dare not buy. 

 

OK, I admit I sour grapes. 😇

Given your less than stellar track record with picking the right used car (XF with a dud gearbox) and the lack of ability to maintain one (cooking your GS450h engine), you might be better off with a new car and a long warranty. 

Haha. Hence looking at 'newer' although ive learnt quite a good amount about car maintenance after learning it the hard way. Current car been driving problelm free for awhile now.

Which car give you the wow factor longer? Your call. 

 

So long the used car is under agent warranty, its done for me. If PI,  think hard and long. 

Used car under waranty until 2022 Aug i believe - borneo unit

According to his past posts, his XF purchase was aborted cos the car he picked was eventually diagnosed with a dud gearbox. So he didn't actually own a Jag. 

Just to clarify. 

Yes jag was aborted. Gs450h was deep fried. become tempura

Ok lah...but it's an indication of 'aspiration'

 

Ive given up brand / badge value now. Trying to find bang for buck with minimal maintenance if possible learnt it the hard way w the GS450h

It's a Harry car for me. At least the inch is seduced longer for sure.

TS should get the Avante.

Its very simple really.

He never say he needs the space.

He never say he needs the speed.

So might as well enjoy the warranty.

And peace of mind. If people sell a 2017 Harrier it might have a problem.

If one is into cars, big chunk of the purchase decision comes from the heart

Otherwise, majority of MCFers here would be driving an Attrage...

 

I really wanted to like the Attrage coz I think that putting money on a car is like throwing money in a black hole and the cheaper the better...

Less than 500m out of showroom I wanna return back the car lol

Haha... Next car looking for max comfort for dollar... and features... 

Another car could consider would be mazda 6 2.5 abt 2yr+old

Buy a car you turn around and see, you will tell yourself lucky I got this car. 
 

if you buy because it’s cheap, make sure you have another car that when you turn around, you will tell yourself lucky I have this car and that’s just a “kar dah” for me.

if you only have 1 car, get the one you like, not the one you can afford. Avante is cheap, but you will tu lan when you want to drive fast cause car not enough power, so get what you like.

Why not buy my car same price as avante, more spacious than avante, more powerful than harrier, extra year warranty than harrier 😆

 

and most importantly its a conti and same length as XF or GS450H.
