hi fleshypork,

 

i'm driving a vios.

was thinking of getting a COE car, but after consult many friends and relatives, they told me unless you are ok for break down in the rain, middle of highway when ferrying your whole family, then go ahead to get a COE car.

 

what is your purpose of buying COE car?

can you don't go to work because the car break down half way?

can you ask your kid to wait at road side while waiting for tow truck?

do you have the time to go to work shop every now and then?

 

if all the answer is yes, you are well prepare for a COE car.

 

like throttle said, get a 7 yrs old car from direct owner, atleast you less worry about the car condition and you have a choise to scrap it after 3 yrs and take back some money.
