First Car for a new lady driver :)

[Gerbo]

If I were you, get a second-hand 2.3 XLS Ford Escape if subcompact lang naman......




that is, if fuel consumption is not such a big deal.

[desert fox]

Naintindihan namin saloobin mo sisTS....

Kung anuman nasa isip at puso mo, yun ang sundin mo, ang payo lang namin sa iyo, for the meantime, second hand na muna dahil baguhan ka palang magmaneho..

Goodluck na lang...

[Chikselog]

oo nga eh. sigurado namang mababangga ako. haha! i checked the buy and sell forums dito to get a feel of the prices, ung honda cars ang pinuntahan ko pero parang di na ata updated. As of June pa ung last thread. Deactivated na ba ung portal?

Makakatulong din kung makakahanap kayo ng kakilala nyo na nagbebenta ng 2nd hand na auto, para makatipid kahit konti.

Agree din kasi ako sa 2nd hand. Para kapag medyo nasagi (wag naman sana), hindi mahal magpagawa, and parts are everywhere.

[boytbak]

kung 2nd hand siguraduhin mo lang na hindi na ondoy yan heheh kundi sakit pa ng ulo

[olm093]

Thanks sa mga advice! Baka nga 2nd hand na lang muna. un naman talaga ang original plan. na-excite lang siguro ako. hahahaha!!!

So back to reality. Ano ba mga OK and what would be a reasonable price to expect? My car plan allows me to get 5y/o max pag 2nd hand but hope to get ung mga year 2008 & younger.

TIA!

eto OT din..

bakit ba pag taxi ang napaguusapan lagi nalang may hihirit na kesyo "sa ibang bansa eh taxi lang ang ganito, ganyan...." eh SA IBANG BANSA nga yun eh, hindi dito sa Pilipinas! why keep comparing other countries eh sila duon may age limit ang sasakyan unlike dito satin eh sabi nga nila, isang kalawang nalang ang pipirma eh bumyabyahe parin sa kalsada.. and take note Passenger use pa yun ha.. wala namang bumibili ng sasakyan dito para dalin sa ibang bansa diba?

one time nakakita ako mercedes benz with yellow plates ung ginagamit sa airports

whats the budget? if its still at 700+k then theres a lot you can choose from.

jazz 1.5 a/t 2010 model is my top choice. its small, easy to maneuver, no trunk so less chance of hitting anything at the back, lots of space.

you can get one of these at around 600k - 650k (one year use).

EDIT: hassle lang sa 2nd hand, you have to be patient to get the most value for money car. unlike sa brandnew, just go to the dealership.

Sana magbrand new ka na lang ma'am, sagot naman ng company mo yan. Wag mo na tipirin. Hehe.

Actually, right now 660k ung limit ko and 30% nun c/o the company. I'm expecting that to increase soon to around 730k-750k and 40% c/o the company. Zero cash out pag within the limit ung kinuha ko pero pwede lumagpas up to around 100k, sagot ko na.

That's why I thought of getting a bnew car, para ma-maximize ko din ung company share, every 5yrs lang kasi pwede i-avail ung benefit na un. Kaso di ba sayang pag nabangga?

[fullmetal]

bat pag babae ang TS ang babaet ng tsikoteers? haha

lancer cedia ang pinaka value-for-money sa mga choices mo ate, pero mas maganda siguro kung city nalang. mas bago ang design at maganda ang built quality.

bnew nalang siguro bilin mo, para wala ng worries

ung mga 2008 at 2009 na 1.5 jazz ba same specs pa dun sa naka-post sa Honda website?

Actually, advantage nga un ng mga HB models for us newbies. haha! i heard nga na mas madali daw dalin.

Sir, deactivated na ba ung used car threads dito? ung sa buy & sell? nung nagvisit ako last seller post nakita ko nung june pa.

ang alam ko yung new jazz lumabas ng 2009. better get a 2010 model na lang kasi baka nadali ni ondoy yung mga 09 model. hirap na...

matagal na ata not updated yung selling site ng tsikot. try sulit pero IMO best pa rin to look at sunday news paper for the best deals.

EDIT: dont trust buy and sell pips, basta sinabi open deed of sale, just walk away. dami kalokohan mga yan lalo na girl bibili... nakow, pagpipyestahan ka ng mga yan sa kasinungalingan.

Sir, buti na nga lang po mababait at patient. Salamat!

Ung bnew baka mabangga po, sayang naman? hehe.

Kung bnew po ang kukunin most likely ung Lancer kasi sulit talaga. Ang options naman talaga before is a second hand Toyota/Honda or kung ipipilit kong bnew, Lancer. Pag Lancer Bnew na ung makukuha ko for the price of a 2nd hand Altis or Civic. Di nga lang kasing porma pero priorities din, function over form po muna. Pag na-adjust na ung limit ko pwede ko na padagdagan ng at least 30k worth of accessories pampa-gwapo, zero cash out pa din.

Minsan ko lang pwede gamitin ung car plan ko, need to make the right choices. Balance between budget, practicality and wants. Haaayyy.....

[kevin3000]

vios nalang sis! para kung sakaling gusto mo magupgrade ng car like, mag FD ka or what madali mo maibebenta
may nakausap kasi ako bumili nung lancer cedia sa una ok daw pero pag tumatagal daw humihina ang hatak at lumalakas sa gas.. dahil 1.6 ata yun
either vios or city maganda

[ghosthunter]

Hi guys! I might be getting a car around Feb or March next year. I only wish that it's easy to drive (and park!) and it has to be A/T. Mostly for city driving though from time to time NLEX/SCTEX when I go home to the province.

Since I'm getting it under my company's car plan, technically eh cash transaction 'to with the dealer so I'm expecting some discount. My budget is around 750k once net of the cash discount na.

I'm looking at Ford Fiesta, Mazda 2, Honda City, or maybe even Lancer GLS/GSX (basta not the EX). Which one is the easiest to drive (for novice driver) and maintain?

Some concerns:
1. Fiesta & 2, hindi ba sila mukhang toys? hehe. And pahirapan ba 'to sa parts?
2. Ung City naman ok sana but I feel over-priced cia? And honestly mukha ciang Transformer / Autobot. hehe.
3. Lancer, old body pero mukhang ok pa naman ito pag na-dress up?

TIA!

Does it have to be new? ... I might suggest a two year old Corolla Altis 1.6L if 2nd hand units are on the choices.

[GTi]

Honda Jazz 1.5! Panalo sa looks, performance and fuel efficiency! Tapos parang mini-MPV and ang dali maimanuever at ipark dahil sa ikli ng length. Or kung gusto mong malaki, pwede ang Kia Carens 2.0CRDi. Ang dami talagang maaaring mapili kapag 2nd hand.

maam,
may car plan ka naman pala, so bnew na lang bilhin mo. pwede mo sigurong isipin na parang marriage yan purchasing of first car. may chance talaga na magiging sour or mag-aaway kayo pero best wishes pa rin. at gagawin mo lahat ng ingat para di masira. saka kung mabangga, may insurance naman. kahit mayupi yon car, ang mahalaga mahal mo pa rin sya.

[SiRbossR]

Why not a second hand Mazda 3?

[henyomzky]

for me maam, ill go for Bnew Jazz 1.5v. I own a fd 1.8s maganda nga ang porma pero yung FC ang baba. May classmate ako nagpabili ng jazz 1.5v. Very fuel efficient kahit ako nagseselos kasi maganda na porma matipid pa sa gas.
Jazz with back sensor=Easy to park+Nice FC+porma pa

hi sir! it doesn't really have to be new. My boss was actually recommending the Altis for me din, we were looking at 2008 models the other day. Prices were at around 700k, I think that's for a/t v or g model. Is that a fair price?
