Thinking of buying a used scenic YR 2002 selling at RM 72 K , mileage
clocked at 55K .Can someone offer me some advice what sort of price shud I
expect for this model and year of make .

[tiram]

1.6 or 2.0 model? a point to note, the mileage is approaching 60k which
is major service interval. put that in mind to include in yr budget.
anyway star classified can give u good estimates.

[Nemo72]

1.6 and can u offer what sort of figure $$$ I shud be looking at for this
major service.

[tiram]

major svc: standard servicing ( eng oil, sp plug etc) PLUS timing belt,
acc belt, gearbox oil, coolant flush, brake fluid and other small things
will set you back no less than 1k. if they snag your water pump add
another rm400+ (they normally recommend to change together with timing
belt due to access), brake pads around rm200 each front/rear pair. that
is excluding other defects if any. or senang kira spare abt 2k no less.

If u dont mind me asking TIRAM , r u driving SCENIC yourself ?. If yes
what is your general comment about the car , FC , maintenance cost and
other related performance . I can consider new when it comes to Conti.
Car; thinking of switching camp after my dreadful experience with locally
manufactured car. My next choice wud be Japanese car HONDA Jazz most
likely , but I have been longing to own Scenic since my student days. My
only concern is whether this car is expensive to maintain and spares
availability . Any comments is very much welcome.

Dear guys:
I am looking at one too and found one recently - year 99 with milleage
around 90k and selling at 60k (negotiable). The condition is quite good.
Well, I am facing the same probs as mentioned, worried about the high
price maintainance & spare parts, unavailable of good mechanics, etc. I
had drove audi a6 and alfa twins park b4 and I must said the conti did
gave me lots of nightmare which I end up spend a lot of money & fed up
with all the mechanics.
So, for current scenic users, do advise us and I will appreciate if you
could give more feedbacks. TQ
Anyway, where is this model came from ah? (Sorry for this stupid question
cause really idiot about renault)

geng, i think it's about that price.. please do join us @

We've pool of renault's owner namely espace, scenic, megane, R19, scenic
megane etc.. RX4 not yet.. heheh

my wife owns a scenic 1.6 so yes, i drive the car on regular basis.

to me its a nice car particularly in ride and comfort. especially on long
journey you will feel it most. not really a town car maybe due its size.
i wud say a kancil/kenari a better bet if you do a lot of start/stop
short distance in jam packed area. handling and steering not bad for car
in that size and shape. FC urban abt 8.5 - 9.5 l/100km. hiway 7.5 - 7.9
l/100km anyway much depending on yr right foot.

std servicing cost is actually comparable to other conti. in fact i
notice at tan chong, nissan servicing package pricing abt same for any
renault. its the spareparts price that i found a bit expnsive at tanchong.
like i mentioned in other thread, it can drive you mad at times. outside
not many shop selling renault parts. compared to citroen/pug its twice as
hard to find renault parts.like rijoda in puchong you can get some parts
(new/potong)at cheaper price. singapore also another source for parts.

headache? well it come as std package with any car you own i guess heheh.
of 8 cars i've owned previously and currently (local/jap/conti/classic
included) none has given me no headache. though i must say this one can
give slightly higher dose if you are not careful.
