Feisal's Green Charmant

Feisal Baskara joined Daihatsu Charmant Community mailing list not so long ago. We chatted and talked on the phone sharing stuff about our lovely rides. There's always a story behind every Charmant and the same goes to Feisal's. He sent me pics of his ride and the story of how he got it and got attached.

Previously, Feisal never owned a car for long period of time. He bought them only for Ramadan holidays and sold them afterward since he hasn't owned a garage yet. Last year he bought an '87 Mitsubishi Lancer and used it for only 1.5 months before reselling it.

His Charmant was bought on the 7th day of Ramadan this year from his uncle. Knowing his cousin was looking for a car, the uncle offered his Charmant, considering that it was rarely used and it would be better if it's on the hands of someone who will take care of it.

Feisal almost lost this beauty when he put it on the classifieds after Eid holiday but luckily he thought that the offers were still too low for him to let go of it.. The highest offer he got was IDR 13 millions or around USD1,300. Hey that's almost twice the money i paid for The Dog! Finally, he learned that Charmants are just too good of a car and decided to keep it! Sweet!
As like all Charmant owners, Feisal is still hunting for some missing parts.. Most significant parts missing are the headlamps and grill. The current ones are from a Toyota Kijang van as you can see below.
See the headlamps? Those are the type of headlamps Wahyu is using on his custom headlamps. Apart from those parts, i'd say his Charmant looks nice and fresh. Definitely green Charmers are rare so i'd say the paint itself is a keeper.
Good luck on your hunt bro! Whatever you do, keep this rare beauty around..
