2nd hand cars

[Kevin]

Anyone knows of some 2nd hand dealer selling some cheap shit without ripping you off?

Finally the time has come to buy my vehicle and all I'm going for is price. As long as its cheap & not petrol hungry, its good.

Obviously it shouldn't be falling apart, but it could like an asshole for all i care! =)


Also, what else must I look at when buying my vehicle? -.-


thx

[ki||fr0g]

as long as it's not French, it's good

kieku minnek nixtri karozza li tkun cheap u tahdem ax alissa li adek ha tixtri l ewwel karozza its not worth spending a big amount of money.

nahseb b Lm100 - Lm400 tehles zgur.

bhalissa ma nafx min andu karozza al bejh imma jiena andi wahda tal matchbox jekk trid huda :D jking btw...:D

[GeneralOneBall]

NOT worth buying a car @ lm 300 ax dejjem ittik it trouble, somewhere about 800 - 1000 for a descent car

[ki||fr0g]

yeah you need 1000-1500 for a decent car.. no french ones!!

get a Fiat Uno, they look nice, cheap parts, ma jahlux.. :)

ford fiesta are nice too, MK2 or MK3, and there are diesel versions too

bought myself an escort mk4 from a friend at lm500 very good condition not 1 problem so far. plus i love mk4 :D
very nice car to mess around with
but we are going off topic, guy wants a dealer (dont know one).
there was a maltese website that has all if not almost all of the car dealers in malta with latest car details with prices etc. dont know it myself, someone had shown it to me.

I'm back guys ... Sorry to re-reply this topic after so much time...

Cow, 1st of all Fiat Uno r0x... especially the Uno Fire ones.

imo if you have a budget of lm1500 it's better to buy a car lm600-1000 (i suggest an Uno) and spend the remaining on sound than buying a lm1500 car. (i suggest AutoRay at San Gwann for best prices + always go for kenwood)

To search for cars I suggest Teledeal (dealers + used cars) and visit www.autodealermalta.com if u want to deal with dealers :D

uber :d0h::bang: :bang:


anyway, i don't think i'll be getting it anytime soon. I was seeing for a Ford Fiesta 2nd hand, the insurance of Lm280 a year is too much. :/

best shot is a mini, insurance of roughly Lm80 but until I find that mini, i wont b driving! :'(



btw, VW Camper for the win! :@

[badboy]

I saw everyone against french cars! its true most of them suck but there are models that are are very cheap and economical more than the fiat uno! the fiat uno would be a great deal but there are others!

I bought my peugeot 309 for Lm1000, very good condition with a/c, central looking practically all the extras and never had any trouble ( kelli wahd il bib ma tinfetahx , tort ta central lock, lol :p).

The insurance its quite expensive imma mhemmx xtamel hux, thallsa jkolok :)

[G-lock]

renaults are built for smooth roads with very little hills , unlike Malta which we have quite a lot of uneven roads , pot holes and steep hills .

get a toyota . car for life .

[Sp|DEy^]

get a monaro VXR

[badboy]

i must agree with glock, toyota is the best car u can get!

[Drowen]

:bang: :bang: OMG i just wanted to make a point here. That it's better to keep the lm500 for something else (if u have a budget of lm1500) and buy a lm1000 car rather than buy a lm1500 car.

and btw i don't own a car yet so stop imagining.

[F|_ASH]

Yea i agree not to spend all your budget i prefere keeping a little ammount of money for future mods etc. And btw cow try to check the car inside out cause second hands may look nice and bright but will have shit inside! Imho you should try to avoid the dealers to have a lower price. Btw what do you think about a VW golf mark 2?

[Pawlu]

rofl @ ma tonfoqx flus bix tixtri future mods eh flash

i bet ud prefer having a toyota celica fully modded to a jaguar or bmw

[Sp|DEy^]

ifhem set rims ta kiesah jiguk iktar minn lm500 heh :)

and ps if the celica is really fully modded engine wise too nafu kollha li tahratom il jag u bmw :/

[Drowen]

Thanks Flash. That's what I tried to say.

Energizer.... ffs what does a BMW or Jaguar have to do with a Toyota Celica? A toyota celica might cost around lm10000 and a jaguar might cost around lm20000. So what's the point??

What we were saying consisted of a lm500 difference. not twice the amount :confused:

[Sp|DEy^]

ye but then a bmw will cost you the triple or more of what a toyota would

go try and buy an m6 ... heh well if i had the money of course i would aha but wait!

the M6 might have 501bhp and onboard computers but tests have shown that it only utilizes 300bhp on the road and the other 200bhp? on the computers? every car has its fault u need to know what to pick


for example then again a Vaux Monaro VXR handles like Awesomeness etc,

car world = vast


and just for your info Toyota are good cars


it's the malaysian and korean cars u should stay away from like KIA, Hyundai etc

tha main jap brands like toyota, mitsu, honda, nissan etc are good

[Kevin]

i'd rather go for a jap. btw, anyone knows from where u can see those cars known as "tal gappan" (JoinUs ect..)


btw, i too would go for a celica, modded or not! :dance:

[F|_ASH]

Ifhem Vw are good ta maybe jap's technology today is improoving but german cars are good aswell btw reming me again what's your budget

lol, budget is very limited! :p i just wanted sumthing to settle, cos i don't really need a car....but it's not worth it with those insurance prices! :/


VW Camper is the only VW i'll be buying! :p fuq top gear, joqodu jamlu tlielaq bejn Golf antika u il Golf il gdida, u tirbah l-antika! lol eh! imbad jap cars, dejjem il gdida tirbah! =D

[Sp|DEy^]

well the golf GTI mk5 is pretty much hottest in the hatchback line compared to the Vaux Astra and renault

[scarface]

does anyone here have any idea if a ford fiesta 18 diesel of 1994 for lm1500 is expensive?

coz i don't have any idea how much they are sold.

[Pirvy]

if you are buying from a dealer then probably yes :)

IF not, phone a dealer - pretend you have one for sale and see what he offers for it :)

As far as car makes:

Get a german car for luxury and smoothness
Get an italian care for nice design but which will break
and Get a Toyota (most japs but toy are best) which is a good car which will never break if you take care of it

kemm punto u kemm 106 hemm mudelli tan 95 u tan 98 sa fej naf jien

[Drowen]

le il-106 li qed nimira jien ta xi 1993 (~lm900)

[Pirvy]

i had a punto mk2 (2000)....

Those cars are made from recycled washing machines but they make good 1st cars:

- Parts are much cheaper than almost any other brand
- Parts are always in stock (imnalla coz you'll need them :P)
- Fiat are very easy to sell and ironically keep their value quite well:

I bought mine for 5400 and didmaybe lm 300 worth of customisations (basic stereo + alloys). Sold it for 3350 with some small daqqiet 4yrs old. Also i sold it in 1 day coz the advert came out 2 wks late in the paper and then day after i was due to pick up the new one so was telling people tipo "come, see it but you have to give me an answer + deposit today". 4 people came, and i sold it by 6pm.

We have a mk1 punto at work - i would strongly reccomend you keep some money to put in better + fatter tyres since their roadholding, especially in the wet is a disaster.

[D|s]

personally if u dont spend enough money on a 2nd hand car ur in for more trouble than buying a more expensive one...

and seriously about the mods... making mods on a shabby car is just sick lol

i u ask me get a car checked by a competent mechanic and consider both body And engine not just engine.. the body also is weart and tear of a car and should not be neglected. and its still an eyesore if its not in good condish :s

[Drowen]

so what's wrong with the puntos? i get told they're very good, and they've got a good drive...

[D_SINNER]

i dont find anything particularly bad with puntos, all i say is avoid french cars like the plague.

[Drowen]

i've got around 4 friends who own a punto mk1, they're quite happy apart from the bad "acceleration" they have... but, am i going to race? no. so wtf?

[Pirvy]

the only complaint is the roadholding. Our punto is a ballerina in the rain.

My punto was the mk2 and i had a lot of trouble with it, but at least parts are cheap and available

the mazdas come in all flavours though and IMO the J10 is just fuck ugli but its a brilliant car (3 cylinder doesnt waste much, comftorble interiors).

when i was in the uk and my car was in repair, the insurance gave me a suzuki swift, and i'm telling you it's a brilliant, underestimated car. they are cheap, efficient, reliable, a good drive, and quite bloody fast.

hmm i like that car, it's nice. the problem is that i dont know their price, their parts, and trouble frequency...

[D_SINNER]

suzuki parts, although harder to find since it's not such a big car in malta, are quite cheap, and trouble frequency is low.

there are a few rental companies in malta who have them, and considering the butchering rental cars get, they hardly give probs.

petrol compsumption looks awry in this thread


for the record the toyotas are rather economic, but the RS version is not.

For the record, a toyota vitz .9 consumes about 7-10Lm weekly for 1 trip from south to qormi, and a starlet 15 diesel consumes roughly the same

what can u tell me about opel corsa...not the new ones coz my budget aint that good..the 1999 models aka the bubble..if someone could fill me up with somethin...

n drop some sites where i could find some good 2nd hand cars coz i searched google upside down inside out but there are always the same shitty sites :/


p.s. it could be my first car

[Polter]

Im no professional but my cousin has one. He spends the 20-25 euros a week to go to university and back home daily and maybe to pv on saturdays, etc.

As for finding second hand cars, I know theres a magazine(you have to buy a bundle for this one) which comes out every fortnight where there are second hand cars which you can buy directly from the owners. If you ask at a stationery they'll probably tell you.

[D|s]

opel corsa bubble are very good cars. in looks (cute) comfort and engines are isuzus as far as i know. dont get a diesel one(qas naf emx tbh). the petrol one has just a nice balance between power and economy. a very well made car if u ask me, infatti rari tara xi wahda taqa bicciet jew merrijja bis sadid. two thumbs up

[Drowen]

As an Opel Corsa owner, I can recommend the car! I bought mine for Lm1,200 but it's a 95 and it needed some repairs. Make sure you take a mechanic with you when you buy your car.

The opel corsa are the best for that price. They can be modified in any way (if you like modifying), they're very nice cars, comfortable, and if you find a 97-00 model you can easily get a/c, e/w, e/m, etc... As for petrol consumption, it depends on how much you push your gas pedal. I mean the car, even though it's just 1.2L, it runs fast. With 1.2 you can easily hit the 150km/h. If you drive slow, you save money, but if you decide to hit the gas pedal hard prepare some cash. I spend EUR20 per 5 days but considering the distance I cover and the speed I reach, it's worth it.

About the Isuzu thing, only the diesel engines are Isuzu afaik. Mine for sure is Vauxhall (which is the same as Opel). Good luck for purchasing your Corsa ;) Join the corsa club! :)

There are rumors that the registration tax, if removed may be replaced with a yearly 'eco' tax. so try get a car which is as economical & ecological as possible.

For this reason stay away from any car which has/uses the isuzu diesel (like the gemini).

petrol compsumption looks awry in this thread


for the record the toyotas are rather economic, but the RS version is not.

For the record, a toyota vitz .9 consumes about 7-10Lm weekly for 1 trip from south to qormi, and a starlet 15 diesel consumes roughly the same

mine is 1.5 diesel starlet .. in two weeks (slow speeding - so i keep gears low / but use it my dad too) not even lm5 :o [issa its either the level indicate is screwed .. or else its a miracle lol]

i have a ford fiesta1.8 td u nberika. jek insuq bil mod 10euros a week. u emminni nigri hafna biha , i mean a typical week kont immur golden bay uekk xi 3 times per week , wkends bugibba , barra work, pv etc from attard. u jek nafasa hafna liktar liktar xi 20 euros
i think theyre quite economical if you keep the engine in good state, as is everything i guess heh.

My corsa is a 1.2 petrol the engine is made by GM

very good car. only things that have gone were small bits (at least so far)

Golf 1.6 here, and i use 50euros every 3 weeks qisu, but i use it a lot and am usually late so i drive fast. Last i calculated it gave 30mpg which is decent at best... cant beat toyotas for efficiency. My gf's Aygo runs with just the smell of petrol - brilliant car/engine.

Btw anyone want to buy a Golf mk5 ? :P

keeping low gears will consume more fuel than keeping the car on higher gears (4/5)

[Sp|DEy^]

less rpm = less fuel consumption therefore higher gears lower rpm

as far as i know, engine strain (kemm qed tbati il makna) effects fuel consumption as well so at times keeping low RPM on a hill might waste more petrol than if you increase the RPM a bit and give the engine more torque. (this is what i found when i was playing with the fuel economy meter on a rental car)

[filthy hippie]

i believe mythbusters should slower = less fuel wastage. if i remember well anyways. could be other way around

[DavE]

low rpm on high gears l inqas li tahli

dont think its possible ta pirvy, issa it may be a crappy economy meter or something imma sakemm il magna tkun eda tahdem smooth dejjem tiffranka at low revs ax ikun dihel inqas fuel heh. issa engine strain hazin ax tamel hsara il magna ux. gifri trid toqod attent li ma thallihix tbati laqqas.

[MaL^D^MaN]

there is a range in 5th gear where the car uses the least fuel.

i think its 50mph in 5th gear thats when the engine uses least fuel. most fuel is used to make the car start rolling again for example in traffic jams

not lower than 1500 rpm ok? :P

then its common sense not letting the car strain itself for hills
