Buying 2nd hand car. Budget 300k-400k max

[ajkotse]

Hi!

I'm planning to buy my first car. my budget is 300k-400k (max). AT ang hinahanap ko kasi gagamitin din ng mom ko. Small family lang kami hindi ako naghahanap ng malaking car. Ayoko sana ng medyo lumang car kasi iloloan ko siya sa bank, atleast 5yrs old lang dapat e.. eto mga cinoconsider ko bilhin.

Honday City 2007-2008 - maganda itsura nya para sakin. fuel efficient at maganda ang review sakanya.

Hyundai Accent 2007-2008 - ginagawa kasi siya taxi, medyo hindi maporma for me.. pero compare sa vios mas malakas daw humatak toh at kung hindi ako nagkakamali, diesel siya? which is makakamura talaga ako

Toyota Vios 2007-2008 - pinakacommon na taxi, pero I'm still considering it. fuel efficient, maganda ang review sakanya, pero as much as possible ayoko siya kasi nga ginagawa taxi hehe..

Honda Jazz/Fit 2008 - I have a question dito, yung jazz ba eh 2009 lang lumabas sa PH? kasi lahat ng nakikita ko nagbebenta lower than 2009 eh puro fit (mga galing daw japan yung FIT tapos converted) ang dami bad review dito sa Fit considering the parts sobrang hirap daw maghanap, 2009 Jazz is too much nasa 500k siya so hindi abot sa budget


Mazda 3 2007-2008 - sobrang ganda ng itsura (my dream car) kaso malakas daw kumain ng gas toh? mahirap din ang parts?

Best option ko parin talaga eh yung Honda City, andun na kasi halos lahat, pero opinion nyo guys? may masusuggest ba kayo sakin na car? salamat sa mga magrereply!

since you would be buying a car that is around 4 to 5 years old, baka marami ng components na kailangan palitan.

so suggest ko vios nalang para mas mura mura cost ng parts.

sir applicable ba bumili ako ng automatic transmission lalo na sa mga 2nd hand cars na 4-5years? hindi ba ako magkakaroon ng sakit sa ulo in the long run?

Hyundai Getz i10 I think kaya ang brand new na automatic. isa din siya sa cinoconsider ko... is it better than getting vios 08-09? many thanks!!!

A/T cars are not as bad as some people may think. Hell, many of them probably don't even own one. Five years old is still very young. Four of the five cars our family uses are A/T ('04, '05, '06, '08 models with mileage ranging from 40+tkms to 70+tkms), none of them have had any transmission-related problems.

i10 1.2A/T gets poor FC and considering its small size, not worth it, IMHO.

Since A/T lang ang bibilhin mo, wala na ang Accent CRDi since M/T lang yun. Vios 1.3A/T has poor FC for the engine size, same holds true for the Mazda 3.

The City A/T is a good car, and if you get the VTEC variant, a pocket rocket too. This one's extremely fuel efficient. However, you have to take really good care of it since the CVT is known for premature breakdown- the reason why the current Jazz/City doesn't use it anymore.

Might I suggest you consider the ZZ Altis as well. Comfortable and reliable, low maintenance car. Can be fast if you push it too.
