I am reconsidering to get a new car. The old Toyota Corolla car I’m driving has been causing quite a big hole in my pocket. Looking back at the past few months:

  • August - Regular service - RM85.
  • September - RM457.00 for replacing the driveshafts , brake pads, brake shoes, etc.
  • October - RM120.00 for replacing the speedometer cable which connects itself to the gearbox output shaft, which in lay-man terms, enables the speedometer to work. It snapped all of a sudden for some unknown reason.
  • November - The Air Conditioning Compressor blew up. The mechanic got the whole air conditioning system done for RM515.00.
  • December - Timing Belt snapped! I’m absolutely lucky the pistons were not damaged. Undamaged eventhough I tried to restart the car a number of times (mind you). Tow charges + Service + reinstallation & exchange of a new belt, fan belt + a wiper blade = RM620.

Tomorrow, I will have to pay a visit to a foreman again. The air conditioning appears a little warm. God knows whats wrong with it. I hope it nothing big.

I’m visited the Transport Department office today too. Had to renew my car’s registration document as advised. Went to a certified government workshop for inspection and was directed to fill in some forms for processing. After all that, legally, the car is now ‘ownerless’. For two months as estimated by the officer which is absolutely slow for this age we live in.
