150k - 200k Budget - Super Newbie Here - Help find a car

[1D4LV]

Salamat sa mga reply nyo mga bossing: Dahil dito na stop ako bumili ng car na worth 120-150k at nag decide ako na increase budget ko to 200k - 250k. For now, Honda nasa isip ko. Parehas kami nung nag sabi ng pag Toyota o Lancer parang Taxi na ang dating sa mata ko. Pero it will take months pa bago ko maipon yung new budget ko, sa ngaun titignan ko kung bakit marami din tao ang may gusto sa Toyota. At siguro pagaral mga parts ng kotse (loob, engine, oils etc..)..

Mga natutunan ko:
1. Buying 2nd car tips and advices
2. Getting a newer car is better (excerpt for Honda -- which is kahit luma mahal padin)

yun pala.... kaya ayaw ng ibang brand eh dahil ginagawang taxi....

if i am in your shoes, i would get a corolla or a nissan sentra S3..... leave the rest of the cash for repairs.
madaming kailangang tignan ang second hand na oto.... among which are the following:

a) leaks - tignan sa ilalim kung may tulo ng langis, fluid or coolant.
b) check ang condition ng idling and smoke habang tumatakbo.
c) check the switches. dapat gumagana lahat.
d) test drive it.... check the suspension.... check the steering.
e) check the tires kung kalbo na.
f) check the interiors.... kung matatanggal mo yung carpet, tignan mo yung ilalim ng carpet for rust or holes.
g) check for overheating..... yaan mo lang i idle yung oto and patakbuhin mo.... check mo yung temperature gauge. after running it, check mo condition ng reservoir coolant and the radiator (tanggalin mo yung radiator cap, pero palamigin mo muna).
h) check mo lahat ng gauges.
i) check mo din ang condition ng transmission habang kumakambyo.
j) check the clutch and brakes.
k) check the airconditioning system
l) while running, observe the sound ng engine and sound na nangagaling sa gulong o suspension.
m) check mo yung headlights, wipers, radio, signal and emergency lights
n) lastly, check mo kung maayos ang papeles.

tips....

assuming everything else is ok..... pa change oil mo kaagad and change transmission oil and tune-up. dapat roadworthy.... hwag mo muna isipin ang japorms kung limited budget.

salamat dito sa mga tips pag bibili nako ito yung gagawin ko para makasigurado

Hindi ba dapat mas ok pag ginagawang taxi dahil mura parts?

Ok lang mag drive ng taxi-like cars wag lang mukhang taxi driver pag labas :p (peace)
