The 2004 City is know for its problematic CVT. Between these two I'd get the Type Z instead

and sa City Type Z na 2000 model, for 200k and nego pa sya. Okay naman itsura. Di ko pa na-drive, ano tingin nyo guys? Good buy ba to if ever wala gaanong tama. And how much kaya tingin nyo asking ko?

Thanks.

it depends.... check the car first and check if it is really for you.... negotiate after seeing the car, and bring someone na nakakaintindi for the detailed check.

The 2000 City Type Z would be less problematic kasi conventional AT, unlike sa 2004 City na CVT maproblema

tignan mong mabuti yung mayari kung mukhang konyo - lawlaw na shorts, baseball cap na baliktad, naka-fake na oakleys, may tutsang, pandak na kalbo. pag konyo e honda fan boy yun, laspag kotse dun at "resing-resing vtek baby yo!" laging naka-6500 rpm ang engine nun laspag na

sa ano man kotse ang bibilhin mo tignan mo yung exhaust. pag may lata ng pineapple juice kalaki na exhaust e disqualify mo na at feeling racer ang dating mayari.

open mo yung oil filler cap habang umaandar ng idle. pag tumatalsik na yung langis at bumubuga ng usok sa oil filler hole e blow-by na yun, candidate for overhaul na makina nun.

apply mo hand brake ng todo. apak ng todo sa brakes, then apak ka ng konti sa gas (mga 1000-1200 rpm engine speed) tapos try mo yung transmission i-shift sa lahat ng position P-R-N-D-3-2-1. dapat walang shift shock. shift shock e maririnig mo na parang thud sound at parang may bumanga sa kotse ng bahagya.

test mo suspension. sa bawat corner ng car push down hard, then let go. dapat isang bounce lang. pag more than 1 bounce, kahit kalahati lang, palitin na shocks nun. mura lang naman shocks pero pwede mo itawad yun sa mayari, sabihin mo bawas 12k sa price at papalitan mo ng shocks lahat (nasa P3000 yata ordinary monroe shocks sa banawe sama na kabit).

at syempre, test drive. na may kasamang mekaniko.
