Is 2009 Altis 1.6V a good buy?

If ever, the add-ons that give a little more value are usually OEM upgrades (i.e. upgrading from 15 inch rims to OEM Toyota 16 or 17 inch rims from a higher model, other market/EU spec accessories/parts).

On a side note, i checked with my friend on the cost of shipping his Honda City from CDO to Manila, 13K (for small cars). This was around 3 years ago.

Those HID's and angel eyes and LED taillights are what attracted me to this particular Altis. I've test driven it already. There's nothing bad I can say actually, except maybe it's a manual and I prefer AT, but then that's not the car's fault.
The seller is actually an owner of a car accessories shop; thus the borloloys. Its color is super white, which looks clean to me.

Sir Vinj, thanks for sharing the freight cost. I browsed A2Go website wherein they have an online calculator. Estimate for Cebu-CDO for a sedan is 5000+. But maybe there are still other charges that are not yet included.

what if the owner-buyer drives the car via land route?

Pwede rin although time yung magiging deciding factor IMO as you have to set aside maybe 3 days or so for the drive; the fuel and lodging costs might be approximate to the shipping cost though.

Should not be that much more since within the country naman yung biyahe. You can also try Cebu for second hands since it's just one hop away from CDO.
