help before i buy this particular Civic FD

[sean-archer]

I'm eyeing for this 2010 Civic FD AT. My concern is its mileage of 100,000kms. Being 7 years old and having this mileage, will the automatic transmission still last for many more years or will I be shouldering its costly repair very soon if I get the car?

By the way, its asking price is P450K (negotiable). So far, the car is in very good condition. Any input will be appreciated. Thanks!

if the AT is in question... ask the seller if he has recently changed the atf.

maintenance of the AT.. is simply drain and fill ng ATF... if he has done so regularly(every 40K) then it should last another 3 years...

a test drive is necessary to gauge if the AT is not jerking whatsoever.. this is the only way the AT can be analyzed properly...

how does one know if ATF is regularly changed?
makikita ba ito sa dipstick?

no one knows... if it was change recently then it will look reddish. test driving is the only way to confirm if the at works fine.

Thanks for the inputs guys.

When i took a look at the AT dipstick, ATF is new and reddish, the owner just had the 100K PMS done recently.
During testdrive, shifting seems normal. No lag during shift changes, no abnormal shift jerk. Ang worry ko lang ay baka anytime soon, bibigay na ang AT system dahil sa edad ng kotse and the mileage.

Medyo mataas nga yata ang 450K for it? How much do you think is the resonable price I could ask the owner so it will be practical for me considering the car's age and mileage? Thanks again.

a similar model civic fd at is in olx now. 410K, with only 60K km, if you believe that.
i am confident, it can still be tawaded.

Honda ATF has a light texture and viscosity compared to aftermarket ATF. Ask the owner if he uses only Honda ATF. Smell the dipstick for any burnt smell as it is a sure indicator of preeminent tranny failure.

IMHO AT's are not actually as weak as you might think. Modern Honda AT's are known to hold well under abuse, which is part of the reason why Honda's are prime candidates for turbocharging, oftentimes ending up with double its original output or more. We have a 2005 Accord 2.4, currently with 103tkms. I have to say that the tranny still performs the same way it did when it was new. Our Japan surplus Granvia is now approaching 170tkms. No problems with the AT either.

However, I do agree that 450k is a bit expensive for an FD with this mileage, unless its a 2.0. I saw an FD 1.8S in Olx asking for 448k apparently with only 44tkms.

The 2.0's depreciation value is higher than that of the 1.8's due to its fuel economy concerns, so it means di nalalayo ang presyo nilang dalawa.
Meron 2006 2.0 FD casa-maintained which sold for 300k recently.

Anyhow, 450k is too expensive for a 2010 1.8s FD plus the fact that it has 100k mileage already. Unless kakilala mo yung nagbebenta and alam mong alaga talaga (plus points if casa-maintained), then siguro I'd pay 420k for that, tops.
I saw prices in OLX ranging from 380k to 480k for the 2009-2011 1.8s FD.

It also looks like concern mo talaga yung high mileage. Just wait it out kung di ka naman rush. May mahahanap ka dyan na lower mileage and cheaper 2nd hand FD for sure.

[sean-archer]

Thanks for all the insights, yeah, it seems im bugged with the high mileage. I think medyo hintay na muna ako ng lower mileage na unit.

Sa 450k budget mo, if kaya mo naman tumingin sa ibang car, that 450k will get you a good condition 2011 altis too.

Or sagad mo ng 500k-ish yung budget. Pwede na sya sa 2012 Civic (FB).

But if budget is tight, just keep on scouting for better deals, cheaper Civic FD, para yung sobrang budget mo, para sa mga repairs and essentials (change oil etc)

Actually isa sa mga considerations ko din ay yung FB, pero prefer ko pa rin talaga yung MMC FD vs the younger FB sa looks. Though I heard you will never go wrong din naman sa FB.

[toptier]

Yes always allot at least 10-20% of the purchase price for the maintenance and usual wear and tear parts of old (2nd hand) cars.

So kunwari strict 500k budget mo, dapat nasa 420-460k lang yung kotse mismo.
But there are these rare instances wherein nothing to fix and gastos ka na talaga for at least 6 months when it's time for change oil and/or registration, etc. Tyaga tyaga lang talaga maghanap and antay.

Good luck!

Tawaran ng 350k. Malay mo ibigay.

"sentimental value" is what keeps the initlal asking price of these used cars, up.
eventually, natatawaran din sila.
