The 03/04 V40 that sold Rm 115K are definately over price ... as
market value should be around rm 108K for 2 years car... further
more this car was sold at discounted price of rm 143K on 2 years
ago.

If your budget are around rm 100k you still can get 03/04 V40 ( by now
is already consident 3 yaers old ) but you need to look around every
corner...have you try SM that some time exsiting owner's trade in for
they upgrading. and recently a VOCM member got the good discount
of Rm 30K to get a 2004 S60 T5 from them....

Bro Richard! I hope I have your passion! After one sleepless night I
decided to hang on to the car for another 6 months (Road tax/Insurance
renewal this month also) to monitor the cost of maintaining this Swedish
masterpiece. Since I have spent mostly on replacing wear and tear parts
last year, probably this year's maintenance cost will be minimal.

Bro! We need to have you during teh tarik more often to rejuvenate our
interest! :D:D

Richard,

The T5 still available?? Sound very attractive leh..If still available,
Wookie, why not we have a look?? Look only hopefully..:-)

Autochild..If I'm not mistaken, the owner is not Matsalleh, should be a
chinese been working in Aerospace industry..If you can confirm the
workshop just right behind Porshe or Saab showroom, then should be the one
I described..They sound professional..and have equipment to service conti
car..can go to look see look see..Wookie let me know if you join the TT,
might be joining u if don;t mind..

The T5 is sold....you might call SM for any similar offer, the guy who
got it very lucky as the owner had left the car in SM for almost 2
months and no taker so he deciden to give huge discount ..

About the Autochild, i not quite sure who are the Boss... but the guy
we dealing with are a Canadian guy name Brandon and heard there
are few others foreigner like japanese....are working there as well
and don't think so the workshop is close to Porshe or Saab
showroom at subang/Glenmarie as they workshop are locate after
BMW service centre if you coming from Gleinmarie to Batu Tiga...
come and joint us

The date & time & venue as following
