hi,
i need expert opinion on 2nd hand optra.....i am thinking of purchasing this car against waja...but i would like to knw how's the maintenance and fuel consumption like...can some one pls share wif me their opinion.....

[razzi]

I just bought a 2nd card as well, with full service record (with booklet) 1.8LT 2004.

So far feel good with the car on driving experience because I like to drive fast (on empty highway).
Fuel consumption wise, KL-Ipoh (balik kampung) ~200km only use 1/4 tank (from the indicator) and I myself normally full till really full and the indicator still at FULL (4th bar from left) once arrived in IPOH.

Waiting for my next 100K service... and I am still looking for the right info.

Lucky I am driving a GM-DAT Chevrolet Optra 1.6, produced in KOREA assy in Thailand, no need to google.

To be exact, a USA-Korean car.

most of the parts stamped GM-DAT, and it is mostly from Korea, where Korean WON is much cheaper than YEN now. So you could get cheaper ORIGINAL parts for Optra then a Corolla.

optra is a chevy version of daewoo lacetti, the replacement for daewoo nubira (from wikipedia). I work for after-market autopart importer/distributor and have problem in pricing as most original korean parts are priced less than chinese aftermarket parts (of same quality).
