maintenance cost of 2nd hand vehicles

**typhoon** · April 18th, 2006 02:53 PM

So far, magkano na inaabot ng lahat ng pagawa nyo since nabili nyo oto nyo? Ako kase I'm nearing the 100k mark. October last year ko sya nabili. 94 civic oto ko.

Dami ko na din napagawa or napapalitan. Suspension, gulong, brake pads, clutch, radiator, aircon, etc. plus the regular maintenance costs like change oil, tune-up. Hindi naman lahat ng cases nasira kaya pinalitan. More on preventive din ung iba.

Napamahal din kase ako nung una. Since wala pang alam, sa casa ako nagpupunta noon (would you believe tune-up nila w/o change oil e 3k??) Pero lately natuto na din hehe. Kapag may napansin kase ako na kakaiba or may nasira, hindi ako mapakali! Gusto ko pagawa agad. Kaya eto wala na ko pera hehe. Buti medyo nakikisama oto ko ngayon good boy sya.

yung pag palit ng spark plugs, pwede mong i-DIY. You just need a good torque wrench para exacto ang paghigpit mo sa plugs.

Suspension you can go to Cruven or Zee.

Preventive maintenance like change oil pwede sa speedyfix.

Aircon you can go to Coolmate.

Well, ganun na nga ginagawa ko lately. Cruven, Speedyfix, Mang Mario pinupuntahan ko.

Sa ngayon bawi muna sa ipon. Gusto ko sana aesthetic naman pagkagastusan ko next (like mags) kaso kelangan may ready funds para pagawa agad in case may masira.

2ndhand AD Resort... 165k buying price... 50k repairs... overhaul, bed-repaint, new tires, etcetera... still need a new carb, though and window trims.

ganun ata talga pag 2nd hand owner ka na, kailangan mo na habulin yung maintenance etc... siguro ako nakaka 25k na din ako sa repairs ala pa dun yung maintenance. laking tulong ng mga automotive forums like this one kasi talagang makakakuha ka ng idea kung san ok magpagawa na ok at mura pa..

new HU = 8,000.00
amp = 3,000.00
