Comparison between New & Used

Here I am, posting up another article for you lots. Ever wonder what are the feelings that you have right after you purchase a used car, which looked brand new? Ok, here’s the full story.

Stil remember previous post in here about a guy who kept on pestering me throughout the whole CNY period? In case you don’t, you may go ahead & read it over HERE. Rite my very good ol’ friend, Mr.V is back again in my blog. He’s quite popular eh? So much stuff to write about him that I can go on & on & on til god knows when will it ends.

A couple of my friends, ‘couple’ as in husband & wife which both of ‘em are close friend to mine as well, let’s address them as Mr and Mrs K. They’ve just bought a brand new car in the name of Nissan Sentra 1.6 with automatic transmission.

Everything went smooth as silk. As expected from a new car, what can possible goes wrong rite? A year passed by, their car is now slightly over 1 year old. Now, you might be thinking : “What has all these gotta to Mr.V then?”. Read on my mates.

Mr V is not a poor guy himself. He owned a Honda City 1.5 with auto-transmission himself. Outta nowhere, he got himself an exact same car like Mr K, only difference is the color where he got himself a maroon used car from other states in the country. Claimed that he got it for his dad’s usage. Yeah rite, the exact same statement that he uttered out when he first got the Honda City which ended up he drives it whilst his dad drives the older car.

So, a used car but in mint condition. Everything looks inch-perfect from exterior. Inside the car ie. seats, I.C.E (In Car Entertainment) are all in mint condition as well. Seems to be perfect for a used car eh? Then you’ll wronged by the outlook already. On the very next day, he went for drive in this new used-car. He heard some strange, but weak sound coming out from the used Sentra’s engine. Without a due, he sent it to the workshop for further ‘rectification’. On the third day, he bought a pair of break-pad to replace the used car. On that nite, he called up Mr K out for a drink, and asked Mr K to pick him up in the process. Reason behind because he wanna test drive Mr K’s brand new car and see where has gone wrong with his newly-acquired used-car. Cheeky bastard!

This testing-drive-Mr K’s car incident happened almost a month. And Mr V still ain’t satisfied with it. He keep on comparing all the frailties in his used-Sentra with his City, claiming how good City is, while complaining on the weaknesses of his used-Sentra.

Imagine this: you got a new car, you can’t get enough of it. On the other hand, your friend just got a used-car with the exact same model that you have, he/she kept on asking you to drive him out, so that he/she can feels the difference between his/her car and yours. What will you do? How do you feel? Needless to say, I’ll turn his request down upright. But being a very nice person as Mr K is, he let Mr V drive it. C’mon guys, I always believe in this: You get what you paid for. Do not compare too much, ‘cos in the end, you’ll be the one who suffers. That’s just my opinion on this matter. I’ll be pissed off if this kinda situation were to occur on me. This situation is still happening as we speak. But lucky enough for Mr & Mrs K that they’re away to HongKong for a week’s holiday. At least both of ‘em can a peace of mind there, and away from all the hectic schedule herein our country.

I’ll keep you lots updated on this peculiar case of Mr V’s used-Sentra on a periodical basis. Be back for more!
