2008 Altis G for 310k?

[bail]

A friend is selling me his 2008 altis G MT with 45km mileage. Is this a good buy? Tipid ba sa gas to?

[jut703]

Mahal. Sold my 2009 Altis 1.6G for 320k last year. That was in perfect working condition with absolutely nothing to fix.

I'd expect a 2008 Altis G to be around 280k unless it's in pristine condition.

"i'd buy it if i were in the market, and the car is in an honest drive-away condition.

errr... do you know your friend well enough, to believe that the car is in great condition?

What other better choices under at the price of 310k?

Honday City? Or a 2nd hand suv or crossover?

A second-hand Civic FD (2006-2008) will be a good buy for around 300k

Bro, that's exactly how much I sold mine a little over a year ago.

I've owned several 10th gen Altises and would definitely recommend an FD Civic over an Altis.

Can you expound more on this? On what criteria is the reason why FD Civic over Altis?

Paano kapag 200-250k budget? 9th gen Altis ba ang recommended?

I bought my 2011 Altis 2.0V for less than 400k. So I guess you could do better than what was being offered except pristine talaga ride niya.

Average FC ko for the 2.0V for average traffic also is at about 7.5~8km/L. Being your friend's car is a manual, you probably can do better than that also, depending on your driving habits.

What's your regular route like? I got 6-7 km/L only with our 2.0V Altis before. Average speed around 14-15 kph.

Concepcion, Marikina ako. QC via Barangka - Anonas - Kamias - Kamuning. Average of 12km one way per day, at an average speed of 14kph as per the digital readout. Super light touch on the pedal, with no sudden acceleration or aggressive overtaking. Then aircon is set at just 27~28deg.

When the car was new with me, I was only getting about 5.5-6.5km/L. Medyo I was resigned na sana that it's the best that I can get with this car even with my best effort na magtipid. Then I read that the car learns from your driving habits, so I just persisted with my economical way of driving.

The improvement probably comes from the transmission bro. My Altis had the 4AT while I believe yours has the CVT.

Yes, a "7-speed" CVT, exactly why I chose this particular model. I could have opted for just the 1.6V but it has just the regular 4AT. As much as some people "hate" the CVT, I actually like it. Much better than the bog standard 4AT of most Corolla Altis. I could out accelerate most motorcycles in a stop without flooring the gas pedal.

For around the same price, the Civic FD drives better compared to the Altis of the same generation. You get the same space and fuel consumption is about the same.

Hi guys! Im planning to buy a 2nd hand car on the 1st week of december, and I need help deciding on what to pick (I posted here since i can't make my own thread yet).

Main Criteria:
- Manual Transmission (This is a must, ill switch to automatic eventually but honing my driving with manual is a better for me. Also, it's more fun to drive)
- Reliability and Parts Availability
- Maintenance Cost
- Looks
- Fuel Consumption
(This will only be used 2 - 3 times a week since i work from home, mostly for weekends and long trips.
This is also my first car, though I've driven several cars before, this will be the first one i own)

Cars within my budget that i like (around 300k - 400k):
- toyota altis (2008 - 2013)
- honda civic (2006 - 2011)
- honda crv (2007 - 2009)
- toyota vios (2007 - 2013)
- honda city (2009 - 2013)
- honda jazz (2009 - 2013)
- nissan almera (2014 - 2017)
- ford fiesta (2011 - 2015)
- ford focus (2011 - 2014)
- hyundai accent (gas) (2011 - 2016)
- hyundai accent (DSL) (2011 - 2013)
- hyundai elantra (2011 - 2015)
- kia rio (2012 - 2016)

Cars over my budget that i also like (around 400k - 550k):
- toyota vios (2014 - 2017)
- toyota altis (2014 - 2016)
- toyota yaris (2014 - 2017)
- hyundai accent (DSL) (2014 - 2017)
- hyundai elantra (2015 - 2017)
- hyundai tucson (2010 - 2015)
- kia sportage (2010 - 2015)

for 300K to 400K, you can already get a 2012 model and up.. just look at around online selling sites.. get a toyota vios or altis..

[dr. d]

the old altis is not as spacious for the passenger and driver, as what the exterior suggests.
some sales folk dubbed it as the "mini camry". and medyo nga suwahe ang ride.
but try it for size, before plunking in the simoleons.

I have driven a 2nd gen vios and it was okay, so I'm assuming that the altis will be abit more spacious?

also is altis the better choice among all the other choices? (eg. honda civic)

thanks for the input sir, highly considering the altis as it is a compact class
