Bang for the buck 2nd hand car for less than 450k?

maybe cleaning compound used on the dash is causing this reaction?

A civic or altis. Bringing a good and trusted mechanic is a must.

At least anong year model ma suggest nyo po for this price? Parts availability ata problema nito. Baka hirap maghanap

Non-iStop Skyactivs:
2012-13 CX5 KE pre-mzdConnect
2014+ Gen3 M3 BM-BN(1.5 SkyG)
2015+ M2 DJ

Why non-iStop? Simple electricals & basic mechanicals. No capacitor to worry about & does not require EFB nor AGM batts.

All Skyactivs share lotsa parts across models of various displacements. Though high compression, they won't require premium petrol unless you opt to tune these to drive on higher octane. Same oil filters, tensioners, plugs, some pads(M2 rears use CX5 KE rears).
These are global architecture vehicles....What Japan sent over are almost identical w/ those in Northern America & Europe. Outside dealerships locally, parts aplenty....online(lazada/shopee) or autoshops(Golden Isuzu carries genuine, OEM & replacement)....& should you wanna source cheaper genuine parts, you can search offshore. Sites like Tascaparts & Amayama are rich resources.
Have had 1st hand experience w/ the models mentioned since 2014. Ownership experience has been way more positive than the Hondas & some Toyotas we've had. They're nonCVT, economical, very reliable, DIYable, moddable, tunable & uber fun driver-centric vehicles.
Search for well-cared pre-loved....you'll definitely get more car than what you pay for.

A relative found himself an unmodded '08 4x2 Fortuner, just 70k kms, for 450k w/ new tires. Great find.
