Acutally, i have other deciding factor..... interest rate.... in fact, i had secured an attractive HP rate of 2.35% pa three months ago.... it had lapsed last month. I managed to appeal and got extension for another month. if i do not have a car to register and i will have lose this rate and will be following prevailing rate now...ie ranging from 2.57% to 3%. Based on the lowest interest rate, i will have to pay extra RM5k for the total interest.

in economic point of view, if i take the pre-owned scheme, i will save RM23k..... but if i opt for new car, i will get RM5k discount on car (special treatment, maybe i am so "chiam" and save RM5k on interest........ Now, the different is only RM13k.

Puzzle.....

Goldfish,

RM13k is only 3% of your buying price. Too small a gain to buy a pre-owned car - the hassle, wait, worry etc. For me, not worth the wait - which I bet is killing you now!

My 2 cents! B)

Goldfish, go for the new car. the difference is too little from every point of view!!

Finally, i have made a decision to go for brand new one.... blessing in disguise, slow decision benefited by the lower price i would pay.
