Help! planning to buy my 1st car 2nd hand

[dr. d]

salamat sa mga info! ok ba 2008 civic fd 44km mileage. coding car nya lang daw yun for 440k

a coding car that racked up 900-some km a month?
that's about 200 km driven per coding day.. that's how much driving i do in a week...

i would wonder what else the seller is not telling me...

kung totoo nga yun mileage kung long drives naman * 200km a day i wouldnt mind. or baka naman 2x a week ginagamit, sayang naman auto kung once a week lang ginagamit.

Hi. I will be buying a 2nd hand car na mejo di naalagaan ang interior and gamit na gamit. Ex. Ang seats ay may stains. Yung plastic sa door na madalas nahahawakan ay may parts na wala nang pintura. Kaya ba ng mga car wash shops na ayusin yun? Sorry newbie. This will be my 1st car. Then more or less magkano kaya magagastos ko?

those things you described are not really expensive to remedy...
but that will depend on what that car is... how popular or plentiful it is in the country..
if it's a corolla or other very popular model, yes.
if it's a bimmer, no.
if it's an orphan, run.. away!
if it's a chinese car... buy another one. heh heh.
in my opinion, engine repairs are usually cheaper than body repairs (e.g., rust)..

my recommendation is, buy the most expensive car you can afford, with some money held back for repairs.

good luck.

Actually mitsubishi strada sya. Service vehicle kaya used. Hindi naman dilapidated but since gagawin kong family car, gusto ko rin na magmukhang malinis at maalagaan ko. More of sa cosmetics na lang ang ipapagawa sana.

what's the model? mileage? check the suspension/underchassis, steering wheel, the engine, or better yet bring your trusted mechanic to check all these things. it's huge if you buy yourself a headache.

2008 glx model, 100K mileage, 5+ years running, PhP 325K. it so happened na ang dala kong trusted mekaniko ay nagwowork dun sa mismong talyer kung saan dun pala naka PMS ang sasakyan so aside from actual checking, may access kami sa records nun (without the knowledge of the seller incharge). sabi nya ok naman ang unit. good buy sya and sa history nun eh aside sa PMS, pinalitan ang aircon (evaporator ata ang tawag), last year lang bago ibenta. I can say na trusted sya since sya ang mekaniko ng landlady namin for 10years. sya rin nagdiagnose and nagrecommend bilhin yung car nila. sya na rin nagmamaintain up to now and maganda naman ang feedback.
