Ako I'd go for the first one.. but still he/she has to check it out with a mechanic kasi ok nga ang exterior pero ang engine mo naman may tama...

pero considerably sa ganon naglalaro ang price I'd gor for mazda

[mazdamazda]

i'd go with the first one too... :D

just check if the idling of the mazda is ok though...

[boknoyxtrm2001]

ayan si Mazda2 nagsalita na... pero ako when I attended the mini EB nang Makati Guys last night.. ang gusto ko yun kay 323F na ride..


John, anong model yun

[ssaloon]

i'd go for the 96 civic vti. kasi since kargado yung mazda, baka nilaspag sa pangangarera yan. at least all stock and casa-maintained yung civic para less worries. depende rin naman kung ano hanap ng friend mo sa pagbili ng car. kung project/toy car, i'd go for the mazda, kung daily commuter, civic ako.

[the_wildthing]

What're your friend's priorities? Resale value? Maintainability? Porma? etc.

Because half the people here will probably say Honda, and the Protegetech guys will say Mazda.

Parang medyo mahal yung Mazdaspeed for 298T kahit may mods. Someone was offering me his for something like 250T.

[boknoyxtrm2001]

ssaloon,

kaya nga sinuggest ko kay CG na tignan muna...

the_wildthing..

Pero pre mas ok p rin ang ride mo hehehehe musta ang mga kontrabando kagabi.. hehehe

Lantis yun pre... :D fogi noh...

[boknoyxtrm2001]

pre mazda2

yan yun... ganda putcha... very appreciated ko yun ride niya...


teka... nag protegetech carshow pala kayo sa Alabang di man lang ako nakapunta hehehehehe

[skipper]

pa-test niya mabuti yung mazdaspeed kasi malamang nga pinangarera kasi modded. kung ok at gusto niya yung color, yun na.


mazda2, boknoy,

Ok nga yang lantis. Gandang-ganda ko nung unang labas. Nagtataka nga ako ngayon kung bakit di bumenta. Overpriced ba siya dati? Underpowered?

[CaRGirL]

thanx for the inputs...

additional info & inputs will be greatly appreciated... Ü

[mr. euro]

for me i'd go 4 the 97 honda civic Lxi because marami kang magagawang modifications and it's great 4 a daily commuter, medyo malakas nga lang sa gasolina.. check mo na rin yung makena kung ok pa

[mazdamazda]

i hope that your friend is buying something a mazdaspeed that looks as gorgeous as this:

[5Speed]

huwawww...ganda nga...hehehe

nasa pinas ba yang mazda na yan?

[benchph1]

sa tingin ko dito yan..parang sa megatrade hall kinunan eh

abt the cars san ba niya gagamitin? spare car o daily driver?

[mazdamazda]

yup, sa transshow nga yan kinuha... daily driver rin pala yan btw...

[chieffy]

mas pipiliin ko yung nasa stock condition pero depende pa rin sa general condition ng sasakyan...importante sa lahat yung history ng maintenance nung sasakyan...kung walang alam yung nagbebenta kailangan mo talaga tingnan mabuti ang condition ng makina at mga pang ilalim para malaman mo kung gagastos ka pa ng malaki sa pagpapagawa or pagpapalit ng parts...pag may napili na kayo bring it to the nearest gas station para ma lift at masilip pang ilalim...hila ka ng isang taga tsikot para ma assess condition ng makina or magsama ng iyong suking mekaniko...

[HBOY]

i'd get the stock condition... then if you feel like it.. do the mods yourself...

i tend to shy away from those with heavy mods.. kasi malamang banat na yan... you may like it.. you may not... but where's the fun in getting a modded car already?.e hehehe

[CaRGirL]

kze sabi ng may-ari, nilalaban din daw un sa transhow, so maayos un... ill tell my friend na tignan nya ung car para ma-post ko din dito...

98 Mazda Speed Familia 323
color: Pearl Blue
transmission: Manual
setup:
16" spoon mags
sound setup kicker
stage 3 speed mode engine modified
interior setup
show-room finish
Price: P298,000

Pass ako, I'd never buy a modified car. Nobody other than the owner and the actual mechanic who worked on it will know how to fix it correctly or quickly.

97 Honda Civic LXi
transmission: Automatic
setup:
all power
15" racing mags
new battery
good interior
59T km
Price: P270,000

Pwede iconsider

96 Honda Civic VTEC
transmission: Manual
casa-maintained
stock
Price: P295,000

I'd take this, closest to stock.

97 Honda Civic
transmission: Automatic
all stock
color: Black
Price: P275,000

Walang black na VTi, repainted na. Pass again.

I'd take the third option... Assuming na good to go ang condition ng mechanical and electrical ng lahat.
