20,000kms a year? [average annual mileage]

[anonemus]

Hello!

Just saw a 2003 Toyota Corolla LE lovelife dito sa Davao, selling for P260k. Odometer reading is almost 112,000 kms na. Previously owned by Splash Corp.

Sabi nung dealer average yearly travel daw ng sasakyan eh 20,000 kms. Akala ko naman 10,000 kms. Ano nga ba?

Also, bakit lovelife tawag sa Corolla?

[speed unlimited]

Mga 10,000 km. average reading yearly ng sasakyan baka naman service company car iyan at madalas gamitin . Marami naman na nagbebenta ng ganyang modelo.

[anonemus]

tama ka, speed. inamin naman nung dealer na service company nga ng Splash. Tiningnan namin ng kaibigan kong mekaniko kahapon at nag test drive din kami. What should I look for for cases like this?

[woohoo]

Baka ang average nung kotseng yun ang sinasabi niyang 20T/year.

Baka mahilig sa long-drive yung previous owner katulad nung nabilhan ko ng 10-month-old na sasakyan, ALMOST 20T na ang ODO niya nun.

[anonemus]

Duda ko Splash salesman yung previous user nung kotse kaya it averages 20,000 kms/year. Parang maayos naman ang pagka-maintain ng company.

Bukas I'll check it out again. Okay na ba ang presyo?

Kung maganda pa naman makina at loob .May mekaniko ka naman dala kung ibibigay ng mas mababa mga less than 200.000 para may allowance ka sa pagpapagawa kung masira. Para safe ka na .

20T Km a year is normal for a vehicle. I would say that if it was driven by a Salesman, it would have logged more.....

8800:juggle:

Find another car. Normal milage in Davao would be 10T km per year. If the car was owned by Splash, models like that would have been used by sales agents. These sales agents would've been assigned to Davao del Sur or Davao del Norte or both in which case they would definitely log more than 20T km annually. It's possible that the odometer has been tampered since it's being sold by a used car dealer already.

Hello!

Lovelife was the promotional slogan for that particular model at the time.

[anonemus]

Kaya pala lovelife! Thanks, Walter.

The car came from Manila as admitted by the dealer. And the plate starts with X. Yup, I'm still looking for better deals but so far this one is attractive...

If I do decide to get this one, hihirit pa ko for a lower price. Gumastos din kasi yung seller ng freight from Manila to Davao. Naghahanap pa rin ako ng ibang lovelife or Civic dito...

hindi naman odo reading lang ang dapat pagbasihan mo, kahit gaano kalaki na ang tinakbo nito as long as properly maintained naman ito at ang kaha ay maganda pa at kursunada mo naman then go for it,
yung ssasakyan ko from cavite city ako to manila everyday hanggang ngayon maganda pa ang takbo abot na sa 180,000 ang odo reading nito 96 model.

If you're going to ask me, I won't buy that car...
Alam naman natin na kapag company car e ang mga gumagamit niyan ay kung sinu-sino lang at syempre bara-bara na lang ang pagmamaneho...Para bang walang lubak-lubak...Syempre bago nila ibenta yan ay gagawin nila yung mga temporary repairs para kahit paano ay tumaas yung selling price niya...Pero kung makukuha mo pa ng mga P150k or lower ay mas maganda...yun nga lang ang hirap malaman kung anu-ano yung mga sakit na maglalabasan kapag ikaw na yung gumagamit...Kung may mahahanap ka na private owned at halos pareho lang yung price siguro mas maganda ito na lang ang bilhin mo...

gamit yan, normal is at 15k. 10k is hindi gamit... got this at a friend that does buy and sell.

[seonadancing]

Kala ko normal annual mileage is 10k, pero sa US normal is 20k since mostly highway sila and they live outside the city.

[Gerbo]

I would rather get a relatively high mileage car run on long drives than a lower mileage but sitting on clogged city traffic.

BTW, something in me dislike getting a used company car esp. driven by salesmen/sales representatives.

[admiral88]

Normal average lang yang 20k km/yr. Kaya ang change oil is recommended every 5000km or 3months whichever comes first. So in 12 months = 20000km

[anonemus]

Thanks guys! Really big help. Hanap ako ng privately owned and now I won't worry much about odometer reading

[dr. d]

that's only 70 km a day. if you lived in sta rosa and worked in manila, you'd have that mileage, too. but the asking price is too much, i think. kaunting tawad pa...
besides, napakaraming segunda mano dyan. hanap na lang ng iba.
