help po. strada 2003 A/T 4x4

[dhon2407]

Guys mag nagsesell po samin ng strada 2003 A/T 4x4 fully automatic for 350k.
Base po sa inpection, yun aircon nya mahina na, 2 tires medyo kalbo na and a 200k mileage.
Ok naman yun engine, pati performance. Hindi po ba makakaproblem yun sa transmission since 200k na yun mileage?

Ok po ba yun price na yun?

Thanks po. Advice really appreciated.

itanong niyo nalang po kung nagpalit na nang timing belt.

80k - 160k km odo reading dapat nagpalit siya nang timing belt.

aircon, easily serviceable as long as you have the cash. baka nga simpleng cleaning lang ang kailangan, but then again, a car can run without an aircon so least problem mo muna ito.

2 tires kalbo, medyo tawaran mo pa siya sa asking price, medyo mahal ang series nang gulong nang Strada. let us say 4-5k each for a brand new tire.

what worries me the most is, automatic ito.. hopefully no hidden problems on it.

Thanks. Yup being automatic worries me, pero napalitan na daw po yun timing belt. Assuming na ok naman yun transmission, ok lang po ba kahit 200k na yun mileage?

highway driving ito madalas, actually mas maganda pa nga ang takbo nang makina kapag ganito but..

mileage is mileage pa rin ika nga. high mileage cars dapat must to check yung suspension nito.

for me, hanap ka pa nang ibang Strada. Medyo iwas nga pala sa D4D Toyota Hilux because of diesel issues here.

200k mileage? Has some more problems? Stay away from that car, in comparison our '02 Trooper has only 67k on the odo and never skipped a beat. And for that sort of money, and especially if you can stretch your budget a bit further, I'm sure there are some better deals out there...

Thanks po sa mga nagreply.we'll just wait for another offer. ^_^

personally i think the price is just right, since it is 4x4. 200k mileage? nah it's nothing, sa pinsan ko hi ace nasa 900k plus na ok pa rin, nasa pag me maintain lang yan,. and dont believe the misconception na pag matic nakakatakot dahila sirain?? that is FALSE,medyo mas matakaw lang ang matic sa fuel but it is definitely meant to last for as long as 20 years or more...

Typically Japanese diesel engines are approaching their half-life at that distance.

The fact that the tires are bald would show how much care they put into the vehicle relative to its use.

Expect to have engine and transmission problems. Check the steering and suspension as well.

It is, however, very easy to maintain a Strada.

I`d rather get a Strada with high mileage and the condition is in it's best, rather than getting the same only with lower mileage but the condition sucks.

Hindi naman sirain ang A/T. It just needs some special attention and the usual wear and tear would really occur. Ganun talaga. Maintenance, proper maintenance is always the key.

if your really decided to get it.....IMHO tawaran mo pa ng konti....pambili ng tires and for other unexpected expenditures....dahil siguradong may lalabas at lalabas na signs of wear tear at that mileage....
