Hi Goober,
Hope this help..................
1) Yes, of cos it does make a difference between car with higher
parf. After you scraped your car, you get back yr parf, so the
hiher it is, the more value you will get back when yr car lifespan
is up. So, car before May02 will have parf 80% of OMV, and after
that drop to 65%. Which mean you can easily get back another 3-4k
upon scraping the car.
2) GDI and GLXI is the difference in engine make. Not too sure abt
the exact model but from what I understand, GDI is a newer model
with environmental-friendly emission or something like that, while
GLXI is an old old mode of engine.
3) Trust me, if you are going for the bug-eye, maybe lets say a
mid-01 subaru imprezza 1.6l, you can get it for lower than 60k! Ubi
mega-mart like to mark-up their prices by quite a bit, so don't
worry, you definitely can get a discount from the price one. Push
for it, and you will get it. If possible, get a friend who knows
all this to go with you. I often went to Ubi megamart walk walk see
see also........... or if you like, I can just go take a look with
you if you really want. No charges, haha............ just that i
like seeing cars that's all, live nearby also. Just PM me if you
need my help.
4) Mazda 323, if possible, try not to go for this car. The design
of the car is abt 5 yrs old and still the saame old design! and
yes, in term of engine wise, mazda will beat hyudai or kia but
definitely below the class of honda, mit and nissan
etc..............
Conclusion: I personally like the Subaru design, the new one and
the bug eye cos sporty. May not be a fast car but at least it looks
really good. Mitsubishi is good but not as sporty. Furthermore,
remember, know the market before you go to 2nd hand car mart, very
easy kena makan one.......... be careful.
Okie, hope all these helps. Let me know if you need any more
advise.
Best regards
