    sagad na ba yung budget sir? there is no or really rare good cars around that budget. im thinkin of lancer boxtype or owner type jeeps. or the classic old beetle(then restore).

    if you can make your budget on the 100k- 120k border, you can get atleast a 1990 corolla. still fresh and running smooth. dame pang ganyan

    30k will buy you a late 70s lancer, corolla, corona, galant. maybe even less. sa kalumaan nila you can buy a running condition car of that era for the price of a new nokia.

    tingin tingin ka sa sulit.com o kaya sa mga newspaper. pag inspect mo nung unit, check to see the following:

    1. umaandar ba at pino ang tunog ng makina?
    2. umaandar ba at malamig ang aircon?
    3. humihinto ba pag na-preno? test drive mo muna.
    4. dapat hindi nag ooverheat pagtapos ng test drive.
    5. butas ba ang sahig? pag butas gawa ng kalawang wag mo bilin.

    sa budget mo kasi wala talaga early 90s model ka na makukuha. ex-taxi na kia pride siguro pero mas sira pa mga yun.

    yung kalampag at mga sira sira na interior ok lang yan madali yan ayusin, pati yung mga maliliit na bagay sa kotse and pintura. importante, safe ang biyahe mo at hindi ka nababasa ng ulan o kaya tumitirik sa daan. check mo lang yun 5 na binigay ko sa taas oks na yan.

    these cars are somehow hard to find for sale. because of its age i think. you can try to look at buy and sell cars magazine at your local grocery. or search from the internet.

    anyways, if you find something, be sure its running and in its good condition. maintenance/parts is not an issue somehow because of its age, its been in the market since the Jurassic age. but im sure about this though. year by year, auto supplies/shops decrease their supplies of these models because the market is decreasing also.

    * sir voltscastillo - thanks po sa advice sir, appreciate it so much.. if ever naman po may makikita ako, may kasama po akong mekaniko to look at the car.

    * sir aejhayl17 - ganon po ba sir? i tried looking at ayosdito.com pero to no avail nga po,la akong magustuhan na swak sa budget..


    if ever po 100k ang budget ko, what will you suggest po na bibilhin ko? we need a car po kasi because of our new born baby, eh malayo po yung house namin sa province sa hospital..kawawa naman po kasi yung anak ko, tricycle lang sinasakyan, dami ng nalalanghap na alikabok..

    in my first reply, you can see that i mentioned the 1989-1992 corolla. anyways, i believe that there are 93-96 corolla models or any other car brands use in public transport that are in that budget range but these will give you headaches.

60k budget for a car
