Hi all,

Although not of the same specif...
considering the few options:-
Mit Lancer (A)
Chevrolet Aveo (A)

or Toyota Vios (A) Better TC but abit clamp...

Anyone owning a Aveo, can share on vehicle performance and maintenance, etc...

Also thinking should I buy now or wait till the new budget release... COE reduce further or even scrap off?

thks in advance for your input...

Personally I think COE may go down to 5K and that's about the lowest it will reach. How long to see that is hard to say. So if you are not in hurry, can wait and see. Otherwise, you also won't lose much since 5K and 8K not very big difference wrt overall expense of a car... provided the 5K COE can really be reached. Smile

Shouldn't be thinking about Aveo if you are talking about performance. And it is also understandable that maintenance is going to be more ex than Lancer and Vios since the 2 latter are more popular brands and will carry more aftermarket spare parts.

Tur coat and anti-rust... my Mit SE himself tell me is to make ppl believe you getting a good deal.

Get the soundproofing, the anti rust useless one.

Anti-rust ....... only if you want to drive it beyond 10 yrs

Sealant ......... good to have, but expensive to start and maintain. nice if you maintain, but once you stop , it'll be back to square Very Happy
