My friend's new car : HONDA CIVIC ES 1.7 (A) VTEC

A few days ago I have met my old friend Pecai (Not a real name). He's still work at government agencies but today he is a permanent staff. More stable haaa.... Picture above is his new car. "Waa...new car!" ask me. He said "Ala...just a second hand car, honda cup apa la sangat....hehehehe". He bought the car at Klang, Selangor at price around RM70k and the year of car is 2004. Good condition and standard at all.

I just ask him about the car. He say the car is ok, but before hari raya his car need to change a timing belt and the cost around RM600 and after Hari Raya the car got compressor problem. He change a new one and cost about RM600++. Actually this is a good car... no comment for me... :-)

For not mistaken, this is a few specification for Honda Civic ES 1.7 (A) VTEC:
