Car Scouting oh Car Scouting

Goals: Buy a Auto 2nd Hand Car, budget below 40k

Strategy:
a) Ask mechanic opinion
b) Look at carlist
c) Streamline the choice - either Nissan Sentra or Proton Persona

Persona oh PREVE??

After consulting mechanics, he suggest to buy NISSAN SENTRA, initially I thought of LATIO.

IF buy proton, choose Proton Persona compare to Proton Saga FLX (high maintenance).
