[QUOTE="ryonan, post: 2950588, member: 4441"] wear and tear is normal for any car.. especially for recon cars as they are usually 3-5 years old when first arrived here.. but for altezza u can be assured that u dont need to push ur car over a cliff if have major problems as parts can be found and at still affordable prices..if cannot buy the original part, can go for aftermarket..my catalytic converter went caput recently. brand new is 5k (which i will never pay lah) but if it were a beemer, i could easily have to fork out 10-15k. dont worry abt engine as the BEAMS is very reliable. I dont think ANYONE in malaysia has had a major engine problem. other parts depends on luck i guess...for my car, i was annoyed at suspension sounds...but once i replaced all the suspension bushings, all sounds disappeared. my air cond was making a humming noise all this week, found out that the filter has severly clogged.bought new one..says on the packing to replace every 30k. my ride almost 80k..so no wonder.. i dont spend much on upgrading...but i do look after the basic components and replace with ori parts when the time comes..so now my ride is i would say is tip top..hehe.. so my point (after all this rambling)...wear and tear is no big deal. all can be replaced over a period of time, without having to mortgage ur house. altezza may not be the most powerful car, but to me sure hell is the sexiest... plonk in a 1jz or 2jz, and you have the Perfect Car (looks and power)..hehe..
