if i am using slex or nlex on a regular basis,
i wouldn't want to do it in a wigo.
it's not re-assuring enough for me, for long expressway drives.

How much is the budget? If you can afford a 2006-2008 Civic at less than 300k, that would be great. Puwede rin 2009-2011 City/Jazz.

Kung di pa rin kaya sa budget, look for a 2001-2005 Civic or a 2002-2006 Altis.

based on his post in the neighboring thread,
i got the impression of a 120K budget.
but now, i guess he has since upped it...
and i agree... buying a car that old... don't finance it (even if you can find a loan facility). buy it outright cash.

if slex and nlex are a regular route, and with family,
i recommend a corolla or a sentra, or an altis. even a cheaper 2003 altis is sweeter on the expressway than the newer and more expensive wigo. i have both, and i expressway on a regular basis.

and from one who used to buy very used cars,
"unless you are sure of what you're getting, don't jump at the cheapest buy. it usually promises more expensive repairs in the near future. buy the more expensive car. it may just result in less repairs in the near future."

happy hunting.

I think youre all set bro. If you switch on the ac, the vent should be cold in less than 10-20 seconds. This means the evap is getting that sweet juice from the compressor.

Baka makatulong tong ginawa kong thread dati.
120k budget para sa 1st ride ko.

i suppose, you're not from manila...
just perusing carousell here in NCR, it seems there are more and better choices to choose from, and still remain within your budget..

might i inquire the seller's asking price? PM me for privacy, if you wish.

**chizisit** · September 11th, 2020 12:48 AM
