Considerations - buying an SUV

[Chloe Rivera]

hello po, planning to buy a second hand CRV or Rav4 siguro mga year 2010 model, budget ko is Php400k lang, pero hindi ako ang gagamit kasi OFW ako. Bibili lang ako kasi para sa nanay ko at pamangkin (pamangkin ko ang magmamaneho) for emergency purposes kasi matanda at sakitin na ang nanay nasa remote area ang location ng bahay, walang pwedeng takbuhan ng tulong masasakyan.

Mga questions ko lang po:

1) Magkano ang maintenance cost (nevermind yung gasolina) yearly kung hindi naman halos gagamitin at naka park lang sa bahay at basic insurance lang tulad ng third party, para kung makabangga pamangkin ko eh yung other party's car lang ang ipapaayos? Budget ko kasi sa insurance is 5k/year lang.

2) Dami kong nakikitang UNREGISTERED dito sa Tsikot na interesting, pero ako ba magbabayad ng arrears sa LTO at magkano kada taon ang computation?


Salamat po sa mga sasagot, may mga tanong pa pero later na lang ulit.

Hi. Sa direct link car insurance may LTO assitance kapag sakanila ka nagavail ng comprehensive. Di mo na kailangan pumila sa LTO at umabsent kasi they can assist it for you.
You may reach them at 828-2000 and look for Ms.Nicole Rivera

Gaano karemote and "remote"
and marunong ba magdrive yung pamangkin mo o matuto pa lang?

at 400k budget... look at cars at the 330-350 range kasi may papagawa ka pa after

insurance... TPL lang naman required

SUV ba talaga dapat? You might want to look at the Adventure or Crosswind, Innova/Revo Gas can be a cheaper option.

[dr. d]

nag sign-off na si brad yata.
baka lumayo na yung satellite.
heh heh.

[_Qwerty_]

at least every 6 months change oil.. kahit hindi ginagamit masyado..

wag ka bibili nang hindi updated ang rehistro..

Magkano po average cost ng change oil? Kailangan ba kahit hindi masyado ginagamit sasakyan?

Arrears - nabasa ko kasi na kaya hindi registered ang sasakyan eh ayaw bayaran ng owner ang registration fee, so may penalty sa LTO at para iregister ulit eh kailangan bayaran yung past years dapat?

[Brad Delp]

Tanungin mo muna pamangkin mo kung willing syang mag alaga ng uses vehicle. Kung zero knowledge yan, baka isumpa pa nya yang sasakyan.

Okay po, will take note of this.

Marunong syang mag drive, natuto yata sa mga barkada, lol.

Yep, SUV po, di ko tipo Crosswind and Adventure, it reminds me of riding sa "FX" all the time, hahaha

Swerteng bata. Bibilhan ng kotse para dapat sa lola na may sakit... Pero maporma yung kotse dagdag pogi points sa barkada. Di na ko magugulat kung gamitin at angkinin na ng bata na kanya yang SUV mo at di na magamit for the intended purpose

Parang government vehicles... "For official use also"

Kung between CRV and Rav4, dun na ako sa CRV. Napakadami ang naibenta nito sa Pinas kumpara sa Rav4, kaya mas madali mahanapan ng piyesa.

Mabuti narin at gamitin every so often ang sasakyan. Hindi maganda sa kalusugan ng sasakyan ang laging nakatambak, lalo na kapag walang garahe. Mahirap na yan kapag kung kailan nangangailangan tapos ayaw tumakbo. I'd say paikutin at least once a week. Ang change oil ko every 5k kms, regardless kung gaano katagal bago maabot ito. Usually nasa 8mos to a year. Kung bihira gamitin, pwede na siguro ang once a year. Yung ibang fluids at filters, sundan lang ang nakasulat sa manual. Mura lang change oil, depende sa langis na ginamit at kung saan nagpagawa, mahal na ang 3k pataas.

Para iwas headache, iwasan ang may problema sa papeles. Kung unregistered, very likely neglected ang sasakyan. Walang pambayad sa rehistro, maintenance pa kaya. Better kung direct seller para walang patong.

Hello, I really apologize but I can't seem to start a thread of my own and I really need advice on purchasing a 2nd hand car.

Sana po makahingi ako ng immediate advice sa inyo.... I currently own a 2002 Altis and planning to upgrade. The car is used only mostly during weekends (I ride a motorcycle to work) and out of town trips. Usually, kami lang ng wife and kid ko ang nakasakay.

I have 3 cars in mind (pasok sa budget) and I am planning to purchase before the month ends.

1. 2012/2013 Civic 1.8 MT/AT (9th gen) - the reason I like this Civic is ONLY just because it's a Civic. Maporma, 1.8 ung engine, saka parang considered na astig ka pag naka-civic. I'm just worried na mataas ang FC niya kasi nga 1.8 ung displacement. Hindi pa kasi ako nagkaka-Civic before so parang gusto ko i-try man lang. Also, 6-7yrs old na siya pag binili ko copared sa VIOS na 2-3 lang.

2. 2016/2017 Vios MT 1.3E - The only reason I prefer the Vios is because it will just be 2-3 yrs. old when I purchase it. So feeling ko this is the most practical option dahil medyo bago pa and mas matipid sa gas although sabi ng friends ko mahina daw hatak ng 1.3 engine and baka magsisi ako sa huli kung hindi ako kukuha ng civic or altis. Gusto ko din naman ung porma ng Vios kaya lang baka maliit para sa akin dahil sanay ako sa lumang Altis ko.

3. 2014 Altis MT 1.6E (10th gen) [/B]- This one I really like/prefer. Before gusto ko talaga ung Altis G/V 2011/2012 9th Gen but then narealize ko na kaya ko naman isagad ung budget ko for the 2014 10th gen model pero Manual trans nga lang. Gusto ko ung porma ng Altis talaga but napapaisip ako if mas ok ung CIVIC kung hindi rin naman ako mag vi-Vios. Also, alam ko stupid question pero mas OK naman talaga isagad ko na ung budget to purchase the 10th gen Altis than to settle with the Altis G/V 2011/2012 9th Gen diba?

Thanks in advance po for the advice. Again, I'm sorry to ride on this thread.

sabiko, "you don't want double of a good thing?"
heh heh.

Forget the Vios 1.3 po if the car will use mostly for out of town. My cousin owns one and according to him, may kalakasan sa gas specially for trips like Baguio. IMHO, I think the Civic/Altis would be a better choice due to engine displacement and better suspension.

You did say that this will be a weekend car, so FC should not be that big of a consideration. With this in mind, performance wise I'd go with the Civic, newest unit you can get for your money.

This generation of Vios has a reputation among the TNVS to have rather mediocre FC despite the small engine, and poor aircon.

I agree with the good doctor that the Altis would be the best choice given your considerations. Size is similar to what you are used to. 1.6 engine would be more fuel efficient than the 1.8 Civic, without being too shabby in the performance department. And I daresay, this model looks better than the rather bland 9th gen Civic.

You can't go wrong with either Altis or Civic. Choose the one with less parts to fix or replace, and the one with maintenance records. A one-owner car is also a plus.

One thing that I always check when buying a used car is to see if all tires are matching (brand and model), and if they're good quality tires like Michelins, Bridgetones, Coopers etc and not those cheap China tires. IMO, it's a good sign that the owner cares for his/her car and for his safety, therefore the car should be well maintained.

I will go for RAV 4
