250k Budget, Pls. help on finding/buying a 2nd Hand Car

[leejuan]

Hi guys im leejuan and im new here. I would like to get advice and tips on what type of 2nd hand car would fit my budget of 250k(plus i have savings of around 10-15k for needed repairs).

I prefer a car of 2000 and up models. I'm contemplating on buying this Honda City 2003 LXI Type Z. I just checked it last week, and seems to be in good condition. I also looked for 2000 and up models of Toyota cars, and 2004 models of Honda cars but i believe it doesn't match my budget anymore.

Pls. give me ideas and suggestions guys. Thank you very much in advance.

get a nissan exalta 2000-2001 model... wala ka ng proproblemahin dyan engine wise and lots of power and torque if compared to the Honda City. and yes, its bigger, and great aircon and timing chain.

i believe that your budget of 250k will be more than enough where you can save around 20k for repairs pa.

my bro-in-law got one for 227k.

Totoo po ba ang sabi ng marami na mahal ang maintenance ng mga Nissan dahil mas mahal ang parts?

And also what about Ford Lynx 2003? Mukhang marami po sa ads na ganito ang pasok po sa 250k?

Update nga po pala, pag text ko kanina dun sa prospect na Honda City 2003, sabi nung may ari may kukuha na raw bukas naunahan nko.

nope, common misconception yan na mahal ang parts and maintenance ng nissan. i own one, pareho lang ang cost of parts nya compared to toyota, mitsus and hondas.

imho, mas mahirap mag source ng parts ng lynx.

Lahat yta ng pasok sa budget ko na nagugustuhan ko sold na. Ngayon ko narealize, ang dami pala bumibili ng sasakyan ngayon.

I would get a Honda Civic, 00-01, may mahahanap ka between 200-250.

Nakakaikita din ako ng mga Nissan GX 2004 na pasok sa budget, kaso pag inquire ko SOLD nung isang araw lang daw. Oh man. Kala ko crisis, hirap pala maghanap.
