Japanese car is alright with me. Just feel like checking out guy ppl who own various difference car and compare the usability.

From all the info above... mazda 3 is not really feasible because of the pricing wise.

Just like to check, will a 2-3 year old car give serious problem? and roughly how much i be paying for road tax and insurance per year? [ for example i get a 1.5-1.6 litre car ]

Mz3 does not fit your needs because of your budget as well as your requirement for relatively good FC.

1.6l car, u will pay around $750/yr for road tax.

And, buying a 2nd hand car is always a bit of a risk. You will never know how the previous owner treat the car. Bring a friend who is familiar with what you need to check. If he is a decent mechanic, even better.

Cars younger than 3 years old bought from authorised agent usually still have agent warranty if their mileage doesn't hit 100,000km. Depending on their mileage, the servicing cost vary. Road tax for a 1.5L is about $670 per year while for a 1.6L is about $745 per year.

what about insurance wise? yearly will be roughly abt? because i heard it depend on age for the varies amount u will be paying...

whether it is a new or 2nd hand car, the insurance can i choose from other external insurance agent? instead of getting from the dealer/car agent/distributer and etc.

I dun own a car so I am not very sure... lol... For cars like Vios/Lancer, I think it should be around $2000 depending on your age and driving experience...there are more experts around to solve this.... lol...

From what I know, for new car purchase, u need to commit 1 year to the appointed agent from the dealer, after which, u are free to make a switch. I am not sure for second-hand ones...but I reckon u can choose...

Correct me if I'm wrong...

insurance will depend on what car u buy, how old are u, how long have u had ur license, accident history of the car itself (check out the WRX premiums), who will drive the car other than u, etc

they generally have a folder to refer to, so u can just walk in and ask ask, when u go test the cars.

u can take any insurance quote/company u like, but most ADs will tag an inhouse insurance discount if u take from them. gotta compare see worth it anot, but likely to be. havent heard of anyone who went to buy a new car but get insurance not provided by the AD.
