same scenario here, but i will be buying the car from a friend.
1991 nissan sentra sgx. umaandar pa naman. inalok sakin ng 30k. balak ko lang sana pagpractisan.
Performance wise wala naman kaming nakitang problema.
issues:
-pinto sa likod kaylangan sa loob buksan
-di na gumagana power windows
if I will try to restore the car. Magkano kaya aabutin? Or ok pa ba bilihin ung sasakyan?
Pagsinasabe ko kasi sa kaopisina ko, lageng sinasabe magmotor ka nalang, ititirik ka lang nyan sa daan
Which I dont like since edsa ko dumadaan.![]()
Since it's your friends car. Ok nga yun at kilala mo, malalaman mo history ng mga maintenance na nagawa sa car. P30k for a Nissan Sentra SGX 1991 model. Mura and ok na yan. And kung ang condition naman nung car, ay presentable pa at excellently good running, standing in good looking form. Aba! Naka-best buy kana jan. Kotse yan. Maitatakbo mo sa expressway. Makakapag-sakay ka ng pamilya mo. Mamili ka, sa mall, mailalagay mo ang mga mapapamili mo at pwede mo iwan sa car. Sa motor ba, kapag nag-grocery ka, at namili ng mga ilan gamit, pwede mo ba ilagay iwan habang naka-parked ka? Kapag x-mas party nyo sa opisina lahat ng matanggap mong gifts, walang kang hirap babyahe pag-uwi dala lahat pati mga napanalunan mo sa raffle.[emoji4]

Looking for advice also second hand car budget is at 80k im considering:
toyota corolla
Honda (? model na pasok sa budget)
Nissan (Series 3)
Our family also had a chance to own 2 sgx generation of Nissan. I had the maxima and my dad a Sentra. Those were the days..
Anyway you ought to start from somewhere and I think this is your best chance of owning your first car. Being 25+ years, things to look out for:
1.) electricals: alternator/headlamp/tail lamp wiring/electrical relays/switches. Check for octopus wiring from hood down to under the steering column. Also check fuse box, any signs ng tunaw na fuse holders..Baka marami na mga "taps" - delikado sa sunog
2.) oil leaks sa garage floor: kapag kulay pula, sa power steering galing. Madugo magpaggawa. Mostly trial and error pa result. Expect to spend 5k.
3.) open radiator cap. Kapag may kalawang sa cap, malapit na ren pati water pump nyan bumigay. Expect another batch of gastos (I can't recall the price)
4.) condition of tires. A 13" tire will cost you 1,500 per tire.
It's costly buying a care, it's even more costly to maintain so I hope you're ready for these things.
Baka overkill na yung suggestion ko given the budget... dapat hindi na-ondoy or habagat
mga sir! magandang araw! i need your advice po., im planning to get a 96-97 galant, anu po bang mga dapat icheck and iconsider in getting galant?which is best to get po yung vr4 or vr6, yung 6cylinders po ba or yung 4 lang? then wala naman po bang batch issue ang 96 and 97 models? need help mga sir please po Thank you.![]()
^We used to have a 1989 SGX, it was sold way back in 2000. Even then malakas siya sa gas at maraming bagay na nasisira. Napakalambot ng kaha, parang gawa sa lata. If I'm not mistaken, this is the car that singlehandedly destroyed the resale value of Nissans in the country.
I'd suggest you find the B13 at least.
+1 I used to own the sibling SX & hated everything about it. Aside from the poor quality metal used, the plasticky interiors were prone to creaking, it had poor fc, anemic engine & very poor suspension (unstable & kalampagin). The only thing I liked about that car was the A/C.
Wag yang sentra box type. tama yung isang poster yan yung nagpapangit sa image ng nissan sentra. Pero bumawi sila sa B13. One of the best selling cars during the 90s after corolla. At ang dami ko pang nakikitang b13 lec hanggang ngayon. may b13 ako dati nabenta ko ng 50k lang last year, may electrical problem kasi yun at nakabili na kami ng bago kaya binenta na lang namin ng mababa. Fully disclosed naman sa bumili ang problema.
Tip ko lang when buying B13 mas maganda yung basic na basic para wala masyadong electrical problem kasi mahal magpagawa kapag electrical ang problema at mahirap pang gawin. B13 LEC or B13 LEC-PS wag B13 super saloon. Maganda super saloon Nung unang labas. yan nga yung unang "all power" car. nauna pa sa corolla pero 15-25 years na yan at sigurado nagloloko na ang electricals nya at sabi ko nga mahal ang magpagawa kapag electrical. b13 Lec or LEC-Ps ka na lang. Mas mura maintenance.
Ano po ba ang pinaka’unang i’check sa sasakyan na ganyan na price? Hehe newbie po sa pag bili bili ng mga sasakyan hehe. [emoji1365]

Sana may makapag advice
I have a budget of 100k and 50k (repairs) for a 2nd hand car. For daily use kasi pang service ko sana sa school kaya priority ko yung fuel consumption. Almost 30kms yung travel distance ko round trip with mild to severe traffic. I have my eyes on Nissan Sentra, Ford Lynx (for the looks), Honda City Exi. I know about corollas and lancer kaso I'd like to choose from other brands.
IMHO pinakatalo ang City in terms of looks, pero panalo sa performance and fuel consumption. When I drove one for a while, I got over 9km/L in city driving. It was mostly short trips of just a few kilometers, so that you should most likely do better. Despite only being a 1.3, it was quite agile thanks to a low body weight.
