    Default cost of cars

    Hi everyone,

    we are looking to relocate to bali in January, so far so good EXCEPT transport. Could anyone give us an idea of the costs of cars?? second hand is ok. I have a 2yr n 15 yr old daughters and although I am sweet with a motorbike I dont think the girls will cope. LOL.

    thanks for the help.

    For a family car - no....maybe a Toyota Kijang might be an alternative

    If you're interested in a small car you might look at the Honda Jazz. I am very happy with mine. Bought it slightly used with 7,000km.

    I also have a Honda Jazz - fantastic car, look small from outside, but lots of space for legs and head inside! New 1 costs also around 200 million Rupiah...

    If you're after a family car go for a Diahatsu Zenia, 1.5 litre. They're around 145million. Or theres the Toyota Avanza which is the exact same car, made in the same factory and everything, just a different badge, for 20 million more. These are probably the most common car you see on the road today.

    I agree that the Xenias/Avanzas are good value. The differences between them are details of extras fitted as well as the badge. Also, for not much more the Daihatsu Terios (same as Toyota Rush) are worth a look. They call them SUVs and they look a bit like 4WD - but they are not. We have had a Terios of 3 years and it has been good.
