Buying My First Car (300-400k budget)

[jnsk]

For around the same price as a used Jazz 5AT, I’d get a Civic FD instead.

Maybe the 2006-2008 Civic FDs would be around 300k or even less for some sellers. The MMC Civic FD 2009-2011 would be a bit more but I’m guessing maybe around 400k.

But are they still worth to buy even if its more than 10 years old na? Or should I just find a different brand with latest year model?

If you want something newer and cheaper, then opt for cars with low resale value.

In the case of the more popular Civic and Corolla, the 90s model Civic EK and Corolla big body are still around our streets even if they are more than 20 years old. For the Civic FD, it is a better car overall compared the Jazz/City 2009-2013 generation or the Toyota Altis of the same era.

How about Mazda 2 hatch? It's being sold at around 250-300K.

I'm considering this too, actually isa din to sa mga nagugustuhan ko. Worry ko lang is yung maintenance, if it is the same as the other model?

There's a Mazda 2 thread here that can maybe give you an idea if this is the car for you.

Thanks sir! Sobrang dami kasing tanong sa isip ko. Kulang ata yung isang araw sa mga pagtatanong tanong ko sa isang expert about cars. Hahahah!

If it's the last gen it's a good car. Nice handling and ride. Could use a bit more power and sirain nga lang yung bushings. Ang dalas masyado sa suspension shop

A basic car is a good feature in 2nd hand market.
Less maintenance and problems down the line. If first owner, then by all means, get the car with the most tech of your liking.

Sorry sir, didn't get the point .

a car with less toys, is a car with fewer things that may malfunction.

Ahh I see, okay sir, will take note of this too. Sorry wala kasi talaga kong idea about cars. Hope you understand.

You can buy a 2009-2012 1.3S now for 350k. City is a better car imho. Bigger, engine has more grunt and more reliable over-all.

+1 sa Altis

Ideally 2011-2013 model para yung bagong engine na. Same as the outgoing Altis. Yung transmission nga lang is the classic 4AT. Kinda less efficient, but hey, it's reliable.
