Help! Buying On 2nd Hand Car Shops or Buying On Private Sellers Online?

[tantra2gadget]

I really need help about this matter.
As i remember that i post a thread about my plan to buy 2nd hand car.
Pero naatras kasi nagpunta kami Gensan pero imbes na 2nd hand Car bilhin dun lupa nabili ko.
Now we are back here in Baguio City at kailangan ko talaga car gamitin lang para sundo at hatid sa anak ko sa school.
Dami seller dito ng 2nd hand cars but medyo mahal presyuhan,kaya gusto ko sana sa Manila makabili.
Pag sa private seller kailangan pa ng time to check the unit to the place ng seller so hassle sa part ko kasi Baguio City pa manggaling.
Ok ba tumingin sa 2nd hand shops ng car unti atleast dami makikita on one way kesa paisa-isa bisitahin ang mga places ng private seller from selling sites?
Help naman po at saang mga 2nd Hand Car Shop/Shop name medyo ok mag check ng mga unit na nasa price range lang ng 100,000 php to 150,000 php?
Sensiya na medyo mahaba na ang messages ng thread na ito
More Power Po Mga ka Tsikoteers!!!

what you are buying when you go to the used car stores, is convenience. and convenience costs.
but one thing i have learned... never rush.
take your time. they are the ones in a rush.
and before you leap into that seeming cheap buy, keep in mind that there is usually a good reason why that car is selling cheap. and you do not want to be the one to find out why, too late..
mag-taxi ka muna..

my 90 centavos' worth:
1. do not rush.
2. more basic models usually have less bugs in them, than the higher end variants..
3. look at your prospects in broad daylight, not in the dark.
4. if you don't know how to evaluate cars, look for a friend who knows how. pay him even, just to go with you. your little investment may save you headaches later.
5. buy the more expensive, newer unit you can afford. it will usually have less problems than the cheaper ones..

tip: for some reason, used sentras have a cheaper asking price than comparable corollas...

Thanks Dr.D I will note all of that pointers before i choose the right 2nd hand car i will buy.
Yun na kasi sagad ng budget ko kaya di na makaya maghanap pa ng lampas pa sa 150k.
Ok naman magtaxi pero we are now little far from the main city of Baguio kaya kailangan na magkaroon ng panghatid at sundo na service.
Sayang din kasi ang 75-90 pesos every hatid sundo everyday Monday to Friday malaking pera din kasi yun pag whole school year.

I think you should have a toyota. Either on that two.

minsan mas honest ang private seller. you just need to ask the right questions. yung 2nd hand dealer kasi is only interested in making a sale. yung private seller may probably just want to upgrade or dispose the car.

my suggestion is regardless if you buy from direct seller or 2nd hand dealer, always bring a trusted mechanic and do your research bago bumili.

Used car dealers and salesmen will most likely tamper with the odometer.

Sentra Series 3. I would've recommended the Lynx if you were looking for a manual. Nice, solid and modern car. But the matic is thirsty at the pump.

The newer unit is almost always the better one. The newest ESi is already approaching 20 years old...

If you're looking for a matic car, make sure it shifts properly. Smooth shifts, no shift shock. Tranny replacements can be extremely bothersome, and quite costly.

As mentioned, bring a mechanic with you. Don't be blinded by cheap prices, new paint jobs, low mileages and numerous modifications. For all we know, it could be covering up an extremely problematic car. The most bone stock unit is the best prospect. Preferably still with original paint.

Thanks sir.. since youve recommended considering the lynx but looking at private sellers price is *150k tama lang ba presyuhan?
budget ko kasi is 100k lang. any other recommendations?

Since you're looking for a matic, the Lynx would no longer be a good prospect. That is, unless you are still amenable towards manuals?

The Sentra is the newest car you can get for your money, aside from the Lynx. This usually means less headaches to deal with.

The AE101 Corolla (93-97) is also a good choice. You get excellent performance and legendary Toyota reliability. But it's resale value is much higher than the Nissan, and it's not that much better.

100K may still get you a good sentra. kaunting tiyaga lang..
i prefer owner-seller from dealer.

Corolla na lang. Medyo matakaw sa gas yung Series 3 dahil mabigat ang kaha. Saka yung MAF sensor ng GAxxx engine, hindi matibay, at mahirap makahanap.

Does anyone know a GTR R32 being sold besides that 1 car on sulit? Thanks!!

Hi guys! Planning to buy a 2nd hand car. Budget is 500k but not cash,will probably make 20-30% dp then the rest financing. Can you give me an idea on 2nd hand car loan rates, best bank for this, insurance rates? Targeting 2007-2008 Innova. Help please. What variant of Innova could I get with my budget? Thanks!

[vvti2.0]

Get the D4D E for that budget, pero mataas ang interest rate sa 2nd cars ang alam ko.

[SkyFlakes88]

Pang innova E po yun budget nyo sir m/t or matic kaya yan. Baka po na stretch pa sa G kung gas variant siguro sir

Depende po kasi sa gamit nyo sir. Kung daily driven talaga sya better get the diesel variant. Kung d naman gaano magagamit i'll go for the gas variant dahil mas matipid sa maintenance at mas mura piyesa kesa sa diesel po
