Goodpm tsikoteers!
My brother is asking for help what are his options when buying a 2nd hand car with a budget of 500k below? I've seen other threads and some searches for that price range and as i see the FD, Jazz, Altis are within the range. Though i also want your opinions regarding this.
I'll list what the car will be used for.
Size of family: 3 (1 baby)
No. of helpers: 2
Car will be mostly used by my sister-in-law during weekdays and route will be san juan - ortigas only
On weekends, car will be used to go to cavite and or bulacan (grandparents)
Hoping to get the best bang-for-the-buck car at 500k or less
Hoping to get 2008 model and up (06-07 okay)
Best FC
Should be A/T since my sister-in-law doesn't drive manual
If you were in this situation, what would you get?
Thanks in advance tsikoteers. I'll be glad to answer all other questions that is needed :D

The FD might not be enjoyed by your grandparents since it has a rather stiff ride compared to the Altis.
With the given choices, I'd go for the 10th gen altis. Comfortable & spacious enough to fit in 5 people comfortably.

Given the potential number of passengers, I would suggest getting a second hand Kia Carens (CRDi) as it seats 7.
The Jazz would most certainly bottom out if filled up with a full complement of passengers.

July 23rd, 2012 12:56 PM #7Don't worry. Maganda pa rin naman ang Pre-Facelift model ng Altis. Meron kami 2006 Altis. Maayos naman itsura. No problems hangang ngayon.
The only problems na naencounter namin ay due to Driver Errors. hahaha!

July 23rd, 2012 05:22 PM #8Since may baby ka at katulong, siguradong marami ka laging dala. Mahirapan ka sa sedan. I'd suggest the Nissan Grand Livina or Kia Carens for you. Still at compact sedan dimensions, but much more spacious, and with extended seating capacity.
Kwento ng katrabaho ko, meron daw sya officemate dati na Italiano na tinanong daw bakit...
