Hi fuzzywc,

Just to answer some of your questions:

1.Bank Loan
I loan RM 35k for my RM 50k RD2 from Public Bank. Interest 4.1%.
Have heard full 100% loan for RD1 from CIMB Bank. Interest 5.5%.

2.Maintainence (cz im using it for my work , i need sumting reliable 2 drive)
I use it for work too. Driving JB-KL-Penang. Comfortable ride. A bit bumpy sometimes due to the stiff suspension. Stiff suspension means more stable cornering. Give and take, you choose.
Spare parts definitely cost more than local made cars. But it won't cost you a bomb like those continental cars.

3.road tax
Road tax is determined by engine displacement. What we usually call cc.

4.insurance
Depends on your insured amount. Same for all private individual car.

5.fuel consumption!!(normally hyundai cars consume petrol like dragons do~)
I pump RM 100 for 500km range on average.

6.What mods can b done?
Treat it like honda jazz, kelisa or waja. Whatever can be done on them, can be done on coupe. Mod is something very personal. Exterior, interior, performance, etc. Again, do whatever you are comfortable with.

We welcome you as our new member. Awaiting you..

Hi fuzzywc,

I am new to Hyundai Coupe too! I got my RD2 early April this year for RM 50k. I am not senior enough to advice front n rear diffusers. If you are lucky, you can get bodykits at chop shop. Spend time reading other threads in this forum n you will find more info. Search our thread discussing meet-up and TT. You will find our car photos there. Or simply google it!

If you want to see my car (which is a stock standard car without any mod), I might be able to meet you this Wed evening for dinner at Seremban.

 

[TCSIM]

K.. Quench your thirst a little bit.. I upload one RD2 photo to make you drool...

buying is not a problem...

[TCSIM]

Hi fuzzywc,

I am a Penangite working in Johor. I am traveling from KL to JB this Wed evening. So I can stop by seremban to meet you for dinner.

The car can be serviced at any garage. It's Hyundai, not BMW, not Volvo, not Merc. You will find problem servicing continental cars but not Korean cars. Parts are available in KL. I buy my parts from KL then service in JB. Even if you ask the fella to ship to you, it cost only additional RM 10 shipping cost for most of the parts. So is Wednesday dinner on?

Wer 2 find 1???!!!
tat's an important question..
cant c any RD1 or 2 around seremban used car lots...
my dream RD2 will b a chilli red 1 with 17" works rims , manual tranny , black leather seats with red trimmings , gt wing n simple bodykits or mayb a sports muffler...

 

[TCSIM]

Hey.. fuzzywc..

This is the third time i repeating myself. I got my car at RM 50k two months ago. I don't know what's the minimum downpayment. I paid RM 15k. As said, there are people getting 100% loan for RD1 few months back. The loan all lies within the discussion with car dealer or bank.

We know you buy the car for usage la.. We dont expect you to buy and keep.. Just I am more curious about how are you gonna use your car.. KL Mlk is not a long journey la.. I start my day tmr at JB, goes up to KL then come back JB in the evening..

When you wan to get the car? We can help you look around if it's not too urgent.. A general guide for you, RD1 ranging from RM 27k to RM 32k.. RD2 ranging from RM 50k to RM 55k...

 

[fuzzywc]

Lol...
sorry for repeating....
1 more question...
i cant c any PU bodykits for hyundai coupes in this forum...

Sorry Bro~
