When it comes to shopping for a car, terms like reconditioned cars and certified pre-owned (CPO) cars get tossed around a fair bit. On paper, both CPO and reconditioned (recond) cars are very similar – both are cheaper than a new car, allowing the buyer to save some money. But that’s where the similarities end, as they are world’s apart once you look closer. Recond cars – good on paper, but buyers beware While it may seem tempting to save RM 40k to RM 50k on a recond car versus a brand-new car,

Prospective owner - ready your wallet. Yes, it’s singular for a reason - Aston Martin Kuala Lumpur today unveiled the one-off Aston Martin AMR Malaysia Edition, built to commemorate Merdeka next month.

That doesn’t mean it’s not fast though, it still keeps the 4.0-litre, twin-turbocharged
