Honda Civic

less than 2000

2010 is a year, not a model.
2010 Honda Insight would be around 230-300. In addition to year, the price depends on other factor such as car condition (grade 4, 5, etc), additional accessories, mileage, model (LS,G etc in Japan) (LX,EX, etc in USA). It also depends on the cars from Japan (right-handed steering wheel) and the cars from US (left-handed steering wheel).

You can also get the cars from UAE/Dubai. I think these cars are also left-handed drive.

2009 would be a lot cheaper. It would be around 200-230. This is for Japanese car. I sold one Japanese Insight for 200.

In these days, there is no real market value due to too many sellers and a few buyers. The real buyers are hoping that the car prices will be lower than the current car prices. So, they just want to wait for the right time.

The thing is that buyers want to get the cars for the lower price and sellers want to get the cars for the higher price. However, a lot of sellers are losing money in these days due to government’s policy changes on import permits. The sellers used to buy import permits at around 65-75 lakhs. Now, the import permits are free. So, the sellers lost like around 65-70 lakhs. However, due to very few buyers, the car prices went down like 100lakhs. The sellers lost more money than it should be.

Some buyers didn’t understand the actual value of the car. They are hoping to get the lower price, and they want to offer the lower price. These kind of buyers often get the cars for lower price, but they will also receive the damage cars which has already been fixed or they received high mileage cars which is reduced to lower mileage in Japan.

For example, if they (sellers) directly buy a car (any car, just for example) from Japan, their investment would be around 240 without import permit. But, some buyers didn’t know how much the actual value would be. All they want is a cheaper price, and all they think is that cars in Japan are so cheap. So, they negotiate the price for 200. They cannot even get it for 200 if they import it by themselves.

Another factor is that most car brokers in Myanmar will tell you a lot of nonsense things. So, be open-minded and make sure you know what you want.
Buddha said………
Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.
Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Do not believe in traditions simply because they have been handed down for many generations.
But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.

So, the main factor is that the prices depend on the condition of the car. If the car is excellent condition and the buyer like it, they’ll pay for it.

IMA is called Integrated Motor Assist which means the battery helps the Engine to run and to improve mpg (miles per gallon)

1. Dead battery
When the battery dies, the engine replaces the flywheel with motor. So your battery is replaced and your car mpg will decrease. You don’t have to isolate the battery, but it will definitely reduce mpg. It will be like regular cars.

2. Isolating Battery?
I don’t know how to by-pass the hybrid battery since I am not a mechanic. The mechanic told me I can by-pass the battery by cutting off something in the back (under the trunk)( I am not sure). It is for Honda only. Toyota Prius will be different.

3. Warranty.
The battery warranty is approximately 70K-100K. You can replace the battery for free. However, there is Actual Honda dealership in Myanmar. So, there is no warranty.

4. Life
Of course, nothing is permanent. Everything is forming and breaking (Buddha’s law?).
The battery will last approximately more than 10 years. Honda usually manufacture it is designed to last the life of your car. But, bad things can happen. I means this is for IMA hybrid battery which is in the back of the car. Here, I am not talking about regular battery.

5. Ordering Battery.
You can order these batteries from Thailand or China. Or you can ask your seller to order one for you if he is an direct importer. The battery costs approximately $2000.

No, You cannot get it in Myanmar. Those keys are expensive. You can order it from Thailand, China, Japan, or USA.

Thanks. It’s good to hear that at least hybrid battery can be by-pass regardless of decreasing mpg. Don’t expect to get this battery warranty for free even if it is gone in one year since we are using it in Myanmar.

Dear ko supersoul, thank you very much for your well information and your proof of link.
