i agree. sentra is one of the most basic cars ever built and thats why its always a good option.

better yet get a brandnew financed car. mga tipong 1.0L or 1.2 L engine lang. but of course you have to consider pros and cons. of course you have to deal with the monthly amortization which will depend on your income. 2nd is a decent garage. pros will be the advantage of a worry free everyday driving. di ka kakabahan on the road. plus sometimes, if you get a bad deal from a bad pre owned car seller, if you sum it up parang ganun din binayaran mo for the yearly LTO reg at lahat ng pagawa every now and then sa 2nd hand na auto na kinuha mo, gumagastos ka na...... di mo pa mamaximize ang gamit sa ginagastusan mong auto since itll be like a regular repair going on and on and on like electrical problems (Wc is usual for pre owned vehi unless you have it rewired.) so its the comparison between having it cheap today but expensive and worrysome car life in the following months or invest in a worry free and enjoyable driving life from the beginning.

Hindi po. Lahat ng EG Civic na 1.5ESi ay EFI na. Yun na rin ang top of the line noon. Ang LX variant ang carburteted and with no power amenities. Wala sigurong EK Civic na 100+k unless may katok, o kaya na-Ondoy. Best bet for low budget 100+k car purchases is still Nissan Sentra Series 3.

Honda Civic EG (1992-1995) local sedan variants:

DX
1200 cc engine (carb)
All-pawis

LX
1500 cc engine (carb)
All-pawis (except it is power steering)

ESi
1600 cc engine (EFI)
All power
(distinctive retractable radio antenna at the driver's side)

kung mamanahin niyo naman po yung oto mula sa dad niyo, at doon po kayo natutong mag-drive, wala na po kayong problema diyan. pagdating naman po sa availability ng parts, iyang kotseng iyan ang isa sa may pinakamaraming piyesa kahit saan. siguro po, yung 150K na budget niyo sana para sa kotse eh pwede niyo nang gamitin para ipacheck sa mekaniko yung corolla ng dad niyo at konting pambihis para magsuit sa personality niyo yung kotse.

none... troublesome po kasi ang maintainance ng automatic after 5 years lalo na po kung tatlong gears lang ang alam nung dating may-ari (Park, Reverse and Drive.) and since both of your choices will turn 20 in a few years time, baka po marami kayong "unnecessary inheritance" na makuha.

I'm watching this thread kasi halos hindi nagkakalayo dito yung budget ko sa pagbili ng second hand car, sana matulungan niyo din ako..

Here are my choices:

1. Honda Civic 96 EFI (Manual)
2. Ford Lynx 99 (Manual) - EFI na din ba yung ganitong model?

Ano pa ba pwede niyong i-suggest na pasok sa 150K-160K tapos EFI na?

**GTi** · December 17th, 2011 01:28 AM

Oo, EFI ang lahat ng variants ng Lynx. Medyo mataas kasi ang resale value ng Civic kaya kapag limited ang budget mo, it'll be best to look elsewhere. Kung pasok ang Lynx sa budget mo eh di maganda. Its a comfortable and modern car with relatively good performance and a lot of creature features. Take note though that this car is a bit on the thirsty side when it comes to fuel consumption. Consider also taking a look at the Nissan Exalta's that would fit your budget.

Thanks po sa reply, tanong ko lang po kung mas matipid po ba sa gas ang Exalta kaysa Lynx?
