Ah lian ..

Thank you for your suggestions.... "IF" I really get that ride, then my whole family should leave KL for Ipoh now for the CNY 2007... This is if the "main engines" don't die half way...


Thanks again...

get her to HPC, she will change her mind.

The fact u dun want MPV and want 5 seater adult is very hard la..

buy 2 savvy then, 8 seater u can get.. 10 cents per km

 

[ratchet]

Hmm, would suggest a Waja which would leave you with 20k to spare. Thought of a Vios or City to better fulfil criteria 6 but they're in the 80k range.

What's more...Waja is Proton mah...spare part cheap. And it's a 5 seater sedan.

 

[ah lian]

i counted 5 seats here....

wot a fine way to work out widout paying for gym subscriptions... :nyehehe:

 

[ace99]

reach flinstone liao. time to summon the Jetsons, can keep ur car in a suitcase. Even her dog & maid can go in.

ratchet,

thanks for your suggestions.. I actually talked to my friend who owns a 1+year old waja.. this is his weekend car.. and he only drives it on Saturday/Sunday when goes out with his wife.. the rest of the week.. he drives a Wira to work..

but he assure me not to get Waja.. because his car is breaking apart now... and some parts just broke by itself... h34r:

:unsure: :unsure:

btw.. i don't mind a 2-3 years old car...

thanks again.
