[QUOTE="Lee36328, post: 160984, member: 113"] 1. Average mileage is approx 20k km per year, so this car is slightly on the high side, but still acceptable 2. Asking price - no comment, subject to market prices, and condition of the car and maintenance history 3. Service history not available after warranty - this is not good; insist on finding out where the car was maintained after warranty; this will avoid costly surprises later. This car demands good maintenance. Pamper it, and it will give you endless pleasure. Ignore it, and it will subsequently make your life miserable. Much like a woman... 4. JB plate - a matter of personal preference; do a check w JPJ on the chassis to be on the safe side; if the car was purchased on a bank loan, the bank would check; if you are taking a loan to buy the car, your bank will check as well 5. 70k - price is subjective as I said; shop around and compare options to give yourself a better picture and go for the [B]best overall value[/B]. My view is this. If you can afford the ownership (finance), depreciation and maintenance costs, then no reason to wait. Car prices always fall with time; going by that logic of waiting for a better price, you will be waiting forever. The car will be cheaper next month or next year, but [B]today[/B] only comes once in your lifetime. Enjoy. [/QUOTE]
