Used car buying guide: Is Honda City in your consideration?

Honda Malaysia just launched the new Honda City 2020 malaysia, priced at RM 74,191. With the introduction of this new model, the price of second-hand Honda City models will also drop, making it an increasingly attractive choice for second-hand cars.

Among them, Honda GM2 is the best choice for used cars.

Honda City GM2, also known as the third generation city, was launched in Malaysia at the end of 2008. It replaces the controversial GD-8 generation model and the example model used for severe CVT.

With the advent of the CVT automatic gearbox, Honda has provided City GM2's unit "torque converter" with 5 times the conventional speed and stated that the ASEAN market prefers the unit "torque converter". When the Honda GM2 was first released, it first introduced some of the equipment in this segment, including two-step tilt rear seats, shift levers, and most importantly, a tiltable telescopic steering wheel.

In addition, when this modified model was launched in 2012, Honda installed a stability control device on the 1.5 E model, which was also the first in the field. The revised model also comes with ISOFIX "anchor" and Eco indicator.

Is there a problem with Honda GM2?

Currently, Honda City GM2 may be the most reliable generation in Honda City. Except for the usual "wear and tear" parts, the model is not too different, proving the strength of Honda's manufacturing quality.

The most important thing is to ensure that Takata airbag developers have been replaced. This is very important to ensure your safety. Enter the VIN of the vehicle here to check if it has been replaced.

In addition to the Honda GM2, which model can also be selected for used cars?

Professionals advise users who are looking for second-hand Honda City to look for models produced between 2012 and 2014, because these models are a modification. In addition, interested buyers should choose the 1.5 E model because this model includes a very important stability control. It also has front fog lights, fork switches, leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, and a tray under the rear seat.

How about the price?

The Honda City 1.5 E in good condition was priced at approximately RM 36,000 in 2012, compared to approximately RM 40,000 in 2013.

Please note that the price list displayed on Mudah.my is not a fixed price. Most used car dealers have not included the price of their processing fees, which are usually worth several thousand ringgits.

If possible, we recommend that serious buyers conduct "negotiations" and quote directly with the owner. In this way, you can avoid hidden fees and tariffs. A complete service record is also useful for new owners.

What to check before buying?

As with other used cars, make sure you check the time of the last repair. Not only engine oil, but other necessities such as gearbox oil, radiator cooler and brake fluid. At the same time, if you have ever checked a car accident or flood, you can also check the car's signs.

in conclusion

New honda city is very expensive, if your funds are not enough to buy a brand new Honda City, then second-hand GM2 generation Honda City is a good choice.
