When it comes to purchasing a car, one of the biggest dilemmas is whether to buy a brand new or second-hand car.
What would you choose? New or second-hand?
For me I prefer buy a brand new than a second-hand car. I know many people think second-hand car is much more cheaper than brand new one but actually it isn’t.
Let’s see, we only can see that the appearance of the car is good, but a used vehicle may require higher maintenance and expensive repairs compared with a new one.
What if you get a secondhand car and after a month of using it, it starts breaking down and give you problems?
The headaches it costs you and the trouble you have to go through, not to mention the workshop bills that will pile up if your car continues to give you problem.
Besides that, such repairs won’t be covered by warranty! Am I right?
Not much people think about that, so it’s really important to decide.
A new car is covered by warranty, so even if you have problems within the (warranty) period, it can be fixed without any additional costs Also, new cars won’t need new parts for a long time.
A used car may need a lot of things that need changing. These are the hidden costs that may well come with buying a second hand car, which means your second hand car is not that cheap after all.
Don’t worry , these days new doesn’t necessarily mean expensive. Indeed, some cars in the market today start from as little as
RM38,361 and come with roomy, comfortable interiors, up-to-date technology and many other driver-friendly features once only available on much more expensive models.
Here’s one of the example of a car that I think it’s pretty worth it!
The Saga FLX,
featuring leather finishing,
* class-leading cabin space and Lotus-engineered ride and handling.
It has all the features that you would look for in your first car, such as:
Safety features: This is a must! The Saga FLX has ABS (anti lock braking system) and EBD (Electronic brakeforce distribution). These features gives the car a more stable ride especially while braking, cornering & overtaking. Even your Starbucks coffee wont spill out easily as the car is that stable!
Convenience: You would surely be fetching your friends around or going everywhere using your new ride. This car fit 5 people comfortably, the boot space can fit 5 adults’ medium size bags. Now all your girlfriends can go on a shopping spree haha.
Affordability: This car comes at a very affordable price, with monthly payments starting from as low as RM403 per month. Its low maintenance cost also means more money for travel and shopping!
Entertainment Features: It has audio switches at steering wheels which is an additional safety feature. CD player also comes with entertainment pod that allow you to connect to your iPod or entertainment device.
A good car for first-time car buyers if you ask me!
I did blog about it before, you guys can read it

So before you decide what car you want to buy, do some research first! So that you won’t regret your purchase. Always remember buying a car is not like buying clothes , you can’t change you car like you change your clothes. (just saying)
Okay,
Saga FLX is will be my suggestion and an ideal car for first time buyers ☺
Why don’t you take a test drive of it? Once you’ve narrowed your choices down, it’s really important to take a test drive right? No matter how perfect a car appears to be, you won't know for sure until you’ve taken it for a spin.
