Chucky2007 Turbocharged July 9, 2011 Share July 9, 2011 worst nightmare when comes to car servicing is when you buy some not-so-common brand or models, then your car breaksdown, needs to replace the parts,and it cannot be found in Singapore & Malaysia! Then you have to wait long long for shipment to bring the parts in. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrikeX105 Neutral Newbie July 18, 2011 Share July 18, 2011 (edited) Yo bro! I'm driving an axio..its engine is the same as vios. Suspensions same as old altis. Ive changed the springs..add a throttle controller, voltage stabilizer, strut bar, cold air intake and hurricane stainless steel air filter. All parts for axio can be found in Singapore. Its quite a common car actually. At my mscp alone has around 10 of them. Just search for 2nd hand ones for sale and you can see that its a lot more than what u expected.

Adrianli Hypersonic July 20, 2011 Share July 20, 2011 (edited) Anyone interested, can get my previous Axio : http://www.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.ph...163&DL=1054 It is in great condition. The dealer took in my ride for S$51k. The mileage is mis-represented thou, I handed over the car with a mileage of 62,300+km. I left all my goodies in the car when I sold it as promised to the dealer. You get : 1) DVD/MP3/TV/Radio/GPS/Rear view camera touch screen 2) Soundproofing to four wheel arc n fender, firewall and whole floorpan 3) D1spec voltage stabiliser 4) 5-point grounding 5) Bonnet insulator 6) Fog lights 7) Illuminated sill plates 8) Side mirror indicators 9) Fuel magnets on fuel line 10) Forward overhead maplight 11) Boot blue neon light 12) Blind spot mirror on side mirror 13) Nice 15inch sports rim 14) Relatively new tyre, done 10,000km but not very good in wet weather 15) Windscreen treated with Nissan Magic Windshield 16) LTA compliant tinting all-round 17) Soxxi Keyless entry alarm 18) RPM meter Serviced every 10k km with c@rlube 5W30, done major servicing at 40k km. At 60k km suppose to change A/C belts, so new owner remember to change it. All manuals were handed over to the dealer. Car MF battery is 1.5yrs old, take note. Whole car fresh coat of paint, at least three layers thick. Nice number plate but 4D never appear the correct sequence b4. 100% accident free. If u get it, u can get the history from me. Sure to be a problem free car which served me well for three yrs and two months. Edited July 20, 2011 by Adrianli Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kia0042 2nd Gear July 20, 2011 Share July 20, 2011 Oh, this car is "ah beng inside".
