recond car malaysia

When it comes to shopping for a car, terms like reconditioned cars and certified pre-owned (CPO) cars get tossed around a fair bit. On paper, both CPO and reconditioned (recond) cars are very similar – both are cheaper than a new car, allowing the buyer to save some money. But that’s where the similarities end, as they are world’s apart once you look closer. Recond cars – good on paper, but buyers beware While it may seem tempting to save RM 40k to RM 50k on a recond car versus a brand-new car,

There's no doubt that the Toyota Alphard (and its Vellfire twin) is the best luxury MPV on the market. Few other cars can match the Alphard/Vellfire's spaciousness and ease of entrace/exit. Compared to a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the Alphard's sliding doors allow you to step in/out of the car as if it's a room, rather than a car. The only question left is whether to buy a cheap reconditioned (recond) unit or pay up for an officially-imported unit by UMW Toyota Motor? Let’s take a closer look at the

Yes, you read the title correctly – we’ve compiled a list of 6 cars you should buy recond over official units. For those who have been following us would know that we don’t usually recommend recond cars, but for this post, we’ll make an exception. But before we get started, we should clarify the misconception that recond car are better equipped than local spec cars isn’t true.

Prior to the return of Suzuki in Malaysia, those who wanted to buy the fourth-generation (ZC33S) Suzuki Swift Sport had to resort to reconditioned units, as recond dealers have been selling that model since 2019. But that will soon change, as Suzuki has returned to Malaysia under Naza. In the process, the company has introduced the fourth-generation (ZC33S) Swift Sport in Malaysia. So, the question is: now that potential buyers have the option of a reconditioned unit or a brand-new unit, which i

Toyota Harrier Alongside the Toyota Alphard/Vellfire, the Toyota Harrier is an immensely popular luxury SUV. Part of the reason why the Harrier is so popular is the lack of competition – it has no direct rival either from Honda or Nissan. But the question remains – should you buy a cheap reconditioned (recond) unit or pay up for an officially-imported unit by UMW Toyota Motor? Let’s take a closer look at the pros and cons. Prices – Recond is cheaper, but for a good reason Prices start from RM 24

Sebelum kembalinya Suzuki ke Malaysia, peminat tegar hanya boleh memiliki Suzuki Swift Sport (ZC33S) generasi keempat dari pasaran recond sahaja. Untuk maklumat anda, mereka telah menjualnya sejak tahun 2019. Dengan kembalinya Suzuki di Malaysia dibawah Naza, nampaknya anda tidak perlu lagi mencari di pasaran recond kerana hothatch ini telah dibawa masuk secara rasmi. Persoalannya, yang mana lebih elok?

Toyota Alphard Toyota Vellfire Toyota Alphard dan Toyota Vellfire memang terkenal sebagai simbol CEO Megah Holding.

Percaya atau tidak, ada sesetengah kenderaan sebenarnya lebih baik dibeli daripada pasaran “recond” atau erti kata lain, “import”. Bagi yang mengikuti kami dari awal, semestinya anda tahu bahawa kami jarang mencadangkan kereta recond tetapi kali ini kami beri peluang. Sebelum kami mulakan, kita harus mengetepikan ideologi yang mengatakan spesifikasi kenderaan recond dilengkapi ciri keselamatan dan fungsi yang lebih tinggi berbanding spesifikasi tempatan.

Toyota GR Yaris membuat kemunculan buat kali pertama pada Disember 2019. Sejak itu, ramai yang mendahagakan hothatch ini. Ia mendapat sambungan yang cukup hangat di serata dunia termasuk di Malaysia (kini hanya 5 unit sahaja yang tinggal).

We first heard about the Toyota GR Yaris way back in December 2019, and since then pretty much nobody could get enough of it. It’s been an unequivocal hit in almost every market its 18-inch wheels touch - including Malaysia where ‘less than five’ of the RM 286k hatchback remain unsold. But what if you really, really want one? Your chance may just come around again, but probably in a way you didn't expect.

Want that dream car of yours but can’t afford to buy new? The used car market is one solution. If you are shopping for a used car, here are the list of things that you should look out for. 1. Check paintwork, body panels, engine bay, and underneath of the car First impression matters. The outlook of the car is what makes you attracted to it in the first place, so naturally, this will be the first thing you should look at. Always inspect the car in daylight, because the sun's reflection can tell

We’ve already seen the 2021 Subaru BRZ making its global debut in the US, so it’s only natural to ask when the other half of the Toyobaru coupe twin will be launched. According to Japanese sources, the answer is May 2021. As before, the second generation Toyota 86 will mirror the Subaru BRZ’s mechanicals, built by Subaru to. Like the Subaru BRZ, the ‘flat-four’ engine’s capacity has been increased to 2.4-litre. The body is slightly longer and wider too, and kerb weight has been bumped up by arou

While everyone is focused on the lack of a six-speed manual on the recently-introduced 2021 Suzuki Swift Sport, not many actually realized that Malaysia has launched the Swift Sport ahead of bigger / more influential (for Suzuki) neighbours. Indeed, Malaysia got the Swift Sport ahead of markets where Suzuki has a larger presence, like Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand. At the moment, the only other market to offer the Swift Sport officially in this region is Brunei, but their market is too smal

The all-new fourth-generation Suzuki Jimny made its global debut in July 2018 and gradually made its way to various markets a few months later. It was introduced in Thailand in March 2019, with prices ranging from THB 1.55 million to THB 1.65 million (that's roughly RM 205k, mind you). For context, the CBU Japan Suzuki Jimny is priced more than the Honda Accord (THB 1.475 million onwards) and Honda CR-V (from THB 1.369 million) in Thailand. Despite these prices, all 90 units allocated for Thaila

By now you would’ve read that Naza Eastern Motors, the new distributor for Suzuki cars in Malaysia, has launched the fourth generation Suzuki Swift Sport. Priced at RM 139,900, imported (CBU) from Japan, thus explains its higher price. Enthusiasts who prefer to row their own gears will be disappointed to know that only one powertrain is offered for the Malaysian market Suzuki Swift Sport – a 140 PS / 230 Nm 1.4-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder paired exclusively to a 6-speed automatic transmission.

When the 200 PS Toyota 86 was first launched in Malaysia in 2012, its asking price was RM 243,000 for the manual, and RM 249,000 for the automatic variant. For a supposedly affordable sports car, its pricing in Malaysia is hardly affordable at all. The more powerful (220 PS), more practical Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk7 can be had for about RM17k less, at RM 227,888. Toyota 86 UMW Toyota then introduced the facelifted 86 in 2017. There were some minor upgrades but prices went up further, to RM 257,502

Let’s face it, for a lot of Malaysians, the ideal family mover is not that fancy SUV. Instead, the ideal family mover, especially for those with young kids or elderly parents, is an MPV. In Malaysia, the options for MPVs are aplenty, but we reckon that the ideal MPV is one that has powered sliding doors, thus narrowing down the selection by quite a fair bit. For those shopping for a family MPV, the most affordable option that features power sliding doors is a brand-new C27 Nissan Serena. Recond

Penjualan kembar Toyota Alphard dan Vellfire terkini (AH30) akan berakhir pada tahun 2022. Model generasi 2022 yang akan datang pula akan dirasionalisasikan menjadi satu model sahaja, iaitu Toyota Alphard. Ini juga bermaksud nama Vellfire tidak akan kembali pada generasi seterusnya.

For this week’s Top Rank Millionaire-Looking Motors (MLM), we’re bumping up the budget to RM 200,000 and unlike the last list, we’ll be focusing only in the used car market.
