Help on buying a sedan

[dr. d]

BUMP for this thread. Planning to buy 2nd hand cars in the Philippines also. As of now napupusuan ko talaga yung honda civic kaso baka pang 2nd hand lang yung maafford namin so my question is:


1.) Ano masusuggest nyong 2nd hand car na sedan? Seeing the price of honda civic, medyo dikit din price sa brand new. Usually for daily usage lang mga ka-tsikot. Salamat sa sasagot

the altis' build quality (toyota, natch!) promises relatively painless ownership.
i have a 2003 myself.
i'm a toyota fan, so this might come about as extreme bias.

Sa family namin, the oldies prefer the mpv types. Mas madali daw kasi ang pagpasok nila than yung paupo sa mababa na sedan.

Hi, sir. Kumusta naman po yung Xpander niyo? Sa pagreresearch ko po, may problema raw po sa fuel pump yung Xpander. Naayos na po ba nila ito?

Dislocated po kasi yung knee ng mom ko kaya hirap siya umakyat pero sa mga nakikita ko sa daan na Xpander, parang ang baba lang ground clearance niya kaya madali lang siguro para sa mom ko. Pwede naman iconsider na magXpander na lang muna instead of getting a compact car since we were planning on getting Innova before this happened.

Things about us:
1. My father and I are overweight(borderline obese).
2. Most of the time, ako at mom ko lang yung nasa car since may condo naman dad ko sa Manila.

it may look two sizes down, but one has to actually get inside it, to find out whether it suits their space needs or not.
if one is as big as me, yes, every cm of space counts.
but for folks that are not large naman, which is probably what 90% of the population is, compared to me, a smaller car may probably work fine for them.
i fit fine in the wigo.

Overweight (borderline obese) kami ng dad ko kaya ayaw namin sa wigo. :D Every friday ko pa naman susunduin siya sa Manila

in that case,
get a camry, accord (or cefiro!).
close your eyes to the gas bill.
'tis our curse for being biggies.

i'd recommend the innova, but your mom might not like it. medyo mataas pag sakay, at matagtag sa likod.
expander... that's an idea. bring your potential passengers to the casa for trial upload.

i once brought my baggage to the casa, for trial load.
i explained to SA, "pag kumasya, bibili ako."
bumili ako.

Suzuki ertiga is another one

I didnt mention i have an xpander. Hehehe.

But my cousin bought one june last year. When the fuel pump issue came out, the dealer replaced the pump during the PMS.

Riding comfort is very nice and it really is not that tall that ingress becomes a problem. It rides like a sedan. His inlaws, both in their mid 70s doesnt have a hard time going in and out of the car.

kamusta raw ang real-world fuel efficiency, km/li ?
wifey is nagpaparinig at nagbibingi-bingihan naman ako... i may have to sell an innova and get a lower car.
old age and weak knees come to all.

I dont have the exact figure but he did mention "mas malakas ng konti sa mirage"

So i guess tipid naman
