COE Car - Which Brand

[atan030]

Pls buy coe merc, cheap cheap and within a year spend more than 3k replacing and fixing parts

I would take a 10 yr E250 and gladly spent $3k to replace wear and tear over a brand new Toyota Altis anytime.

The 10 yr E250 (Facelift W212 LED headlight model) looks expensive and modern even today. The car interior just needs to upgrade with a 12" Android player. The ride and comfort beats even a newer Toyota Harrier.

Must understand people come here blow off steam, take things with a pinch of salt. Dyodd. Last time got member Kena exposed he not that rich but keep posting atas place for makan. Go see on the road how many coe car and brands will get the answer anyway

Is it golem?

actually coe cars on the road gives a good gauge which cars are reliable. Every now and then you still see old w124 on the road.

Old merc are definitely reliable. They are built to last.

I was fortunate to sit in pre/facelifted w124 models. Rock Solid body. 1 drove to malacca, another drove to Selangor and Genting in early 20’s. The pre facelifted 200E model easier to overheat. Drove to Genting halfway need to let the car cool down because it nearly hit the hot meter.

I never sat in conti car bef. That im not so sure.

Wait till u drive ev. U sure sian

I old school, cars need an engine. If I need power... I go to my cl2 superbike..

Try sitting in one. Old merc has the solid clunk sound. Cars these days doesn’t give you this feeling.

need to put some force then it will close properly

Only 3k?

Sure bo?

$3k is quoted by the person I am replying to. Even if it's $15k I think also worth it. Restore most of the wear and tear parts liao.

Agreed once you go conti... Cannot go back... My colleague said that... His coe audi s5 really fast... Towing also a bit ex cos 4wd...need a flatbed to tow...

not true. my colleague A5 not even 3 years consume engine oil & need overhaul.
luckily under warranty & when warranty ended faster sell & go back to japanese car.

 

[boxer33]

if everything do swee swee when bought, can tahan long long time. I had a R129 for 19yrs without any major issue. only gripe is its a fuel guzzler at 5-6km/L and the road tax was about 10sgd/day.


Read HWZ Forum Rules!

old merc are over-engineered & can last for long time.
newer merc not as reliable anymore.

toyota
honda

Think usually people will go for these common brands for availability of parts and ease of maintenance and repair.

Cause not all brands can so easy get parts the older the model. Especially those that have limit sales one, once model discontinue, the spare part market may also quickly mati, can get one is existing stock.

Toyota think alot of the parts are common across many models. Thus more easy to get and use. Its one of the reason why people get Toyota.
