Mine is July 2007. I asked another dealer they offered me 38k.. but... anyway, my loan was not approved. Now I am going to another dealer, who is my friend.. He recommended me not to get that 1007S due to too much electronics and sensor.. which is costly to maintain. Now i am looking at either Gen 2, Sirion, Swift, Colt plus or Axio.. Hi, glad tat u did not buy tat 1007s! Cos my friend bought 1007s brand new & went to service 20 times in 2yrs! Yes, too many electronics till the passenger's door can slide open when he was driving along CTE! Tis news was also reported in Newpaper 2 full pages abt 1-2yrs back. He was den offered to change to a 107 but he had already lost faith in tat P brand...

The peugeot 1007s instalment about 600 per month. But anyway loan not approved so no issue lol. Maybe just get Gen 2. Can thrash it with little worries, since our neighbor is so near.. parts are cheap and easy to get

john, since u like carens so much dun part it from u la. u already spent so much for repair already, and know yr carens can last u for few more years after u repair it. if u change another 2nd hand car nobody can confirm to you no repair required, so u have to spend more again which does not worth it lor.

apple tree? 4k to replace engine, brake pads, shock absorbers, tyres, top up engine oil, change transmission fluid, I still looking for suitable cars.. but in no hurry to change. My Carens leave me with lots of memories. Esp while how stable she is when you travel at max speed.

I agree with you.. but paying more road tax and insurance is.. so not economical since i dont really need such big space.. but it's good to have.. I often climb into my driver seat through the passenger side if i park too near the pillar in MSCP. But if i get a smaller car i know i will have difficulty in doing that..

Talk about it, I think John did have a company van leh...... Can actually sell and wait ........ what a good opportunity ? And if Obama is elected again, US may end up in recession in 2013 or 2014. Why ? 2nd term, can bochap the economy. US may even go to war again, all the news are pointing this way leh. EU have stopped buying oil from Iran, Japan will stop in 5months times, Israel is so quiet. Again after the election. What if a Republican get elected, double confirmed will start war !! COE should soften by that time too..... Property price is peaking, Stock price is highest since 2009. The signal has never been that clear....... 3mth in to 2012, I feel more lousy than 2011 lor ....... So ....... try to save some money now ........ so we can buy a perhaps new car later ....... at a cheaper price ....... of course...... Always try to buy things when no one want to buy. This is just my thought. Lord of the Cheapo ........ heeeee ...... I am that cheap ........hahahahaha sell and dun drive, now COE 80K small / big 2nd hand car will be expensive.

Unless Bro John still has access to the company van...
Cos' its easier said than done to go with not-driving... esp. after you have driven for a long while...
I've asked myself this question before... whether can i not drive... & so far, my answer is 'NO'... if car price & maintenance cost becomes too high to bear... I'll ride a motorbike!
wahahahaaa..
