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.

Thanks sa insight boss. Ok hanap nako ulit ng prospect.

up ko lang po. with the permission of leejuan.

Im also planning to buy a 2nd hand car. my budget is between 150 to 250

Pang araw araw na drive and the occasional barkada/family week-enders.

my criteria are as follows:

1. looks;
2. Fuel Effeciency;
3. Easy to maintain (madaling hanapan ng parts at mura);
4. Matibay/Low maintenance;
5. Powerful, comfortable, and madaling i drive.

More or less in that order of importance. hehehe.


Thanks in advance..

sir ano masasabi nyu sa 97 honda vti MT for 235 (neg)?

How about accord the 90's model (94-97 ata) or the galant "shark" body? how bad is the fuel efficiency nitong dalawang e2 compared to the mainstream (average).

[renzo_d10]

The galant and the accord are both gas-guzzlers. They just average from 6-7kpl. Worst is 5.5kpl ( i think ) City driving iyan.

If I were you sir, I`d get newer, much more fuel efficient cars. Yes the accord is elegant with it's looks and it's incredibly fast. But who needs fast cars when you're here in manila?

About the civic sir. Yes it is priced that way, about 200+ thousand. However, if you're going to look at the downsides, that car is 12 years! Problems might pop up in the very near future. Im not here to pull your car of your type down, im just telling what might be the consequences.

Yeah, some cars in that age are very well maintained, well, if thats the car of your type just make sure sir that its in running condition, no problems etc etc. Anyways mahahalata mo naman kaagad yan, labas pa lang.

How about the Nissan Exalta sir? The year model is just 2004, so it's just about 5 years of age.

Anyways, all I can say is buy the car where your heart sticks in. Kumbaga, bilhin mo ang kotseng pumapantig ng iyong puso.
