End of COE /New car dilemma
Posted: Sat Oct 17, 2015 3:11 pm
Hi
I have a Civic ES(?) that's expiring end of Dec 2015. I am thinking of keeping the car for another 5 years as per my calculations this car would save me $3000 every year vs buying a new car (Nissan Quashqai 2.0).
Current condition of my Civic (132,800Km):
- engine oil leak, but never had to top up oil. Will this be a major problem?
- gearbox - sometimes jumpy when moving from parking (may be because of parking on a slope). Did a ECU check last month all good.
- 1 radiator fan not working (but air con-still good - aircon compressor/condenser(?) replaced last year)
- due for another timing belt change?
- minor body knocks
- steering wheel peeling off.
What would be the major issues I may experience for the next 5 years? love the ride of this car? may look at changing the HU if I am keeping it.
Thanks guys.
