The cost of maintenance and spareparts could be more that the monthly installment that you would be paying. Haha, yea, i'm very well aware of that; all 5 cars in my home are continentals. The Ford is very reliable, only one major problem in all 8 years of service, the Benz kacau a bit, but it's normal for a 30 year+ car. The 2 Citroen Xantias are the most kacau ones; but I still love em. I've kinda grown to like continentals so I'd gladly pay the price for the ride hehe. I once crashed my Xantia over the divider twice in a row, and the only damage the car suffered was 2 broken rims and a damaged driveshaft, that's all, I shudder to think what might happen had I been in a Chinese car that day, the car would probably end up at the scraps after that, and me in the hospital :p. Continentals are costly, but you have peace of mind when it comes to safety in minor crashes. Tracks said,

All the parts are supplied by chery, proton just puts it together. just like your tamiya kit car. and some extra info, all CKD bmw's are assembled in ford's plant in shah alam. i think its good news if chery assembles its cars using proton facilities. it helps them maximise the use of their excess capacity, and makes them more money anyways.

It's over-priced to protect Perodua also not just Proton. The Proton Tanjung Malim Plant was destined to be a contract assembler long ago. Therefore the news regarding the TGM Plant assembling for other marque is of no surprise as it way under utilised at the moment. aesthari said, September 27, 2006 @ 11:10 pm "RM43k for that piece of junk on wheels?

Hey friend, better check out the maintenance and spareparts cost first before even considering on buying a 2nd hand continental ride. The cost of maintenance and spareparts could be more that the monthly installment that you would be paying. I was looking for a 2nd continental car as well but aborted the idea after realizing that it cost a bomb to maintain and it's difficult in sourcing for spareparts.
