what 2nd hand car has low cost of ownership?

[mike01]

in terms of fuel consumption, parts, maintenance, etc

i have identified 2 so far

1) kia pride cd5
2) toyota corolla xl

is this right? or are there other cars that can be a good contender?

lancer also but based on your category, toyota would be the best.

matipid sa gas 1.3 carb and 1.6 EFI, reliable, marami replacement parts na mura, even if you want oem, mura pa rin ang parts compare sa iba. almost any shop can work on a toyota. you just cant go wrong with it.

Toyota corolla jsut make sure hindi ginamit as taxi ang unit.

check the plate. kung may letter "H" na nakalagay it means dati syang "for hire". or you could go to the nearest LTO and check for the mother file. around 200 yata pa verify.

kia pride, kulang nalang sa sari-sari store mo mabibili ang piyesa nito..

[shinigami24]

kung ang pinagpipilian ko lang e 96-97 civic vti (wc would be around 220k on average) and 97-98 lancer glxi (around 200k only), ano mas ok for u guys?

Correct!

The Pride is very reliable and parts are dead cheap. It can take you anywhere (ours has 200,000kms) with only top overhaul needed. The original shocks were replaced after 9 years of service. It's a little bit rougher on the edges if you compare it with a corolla xl pero bow ako sa kotse na ito. It just keeps on running with minimal maintenance.

btw the car is still averaging 10km/l city and 14km/l hway.

The kia pride is a world car btw, it was sold as the Ford Festiva (Japan,US, Europe and Mazda 121 (Europe, Australia and other Asian countries).

Isa pa... this car got one of the highest score sa NHTSA crash test for a sub-compact. Score was 5 or equivalent to only 10% chance of getting injured in an event of Front Impact.

whew!!

Nissan Sentra- Series 2 na 1300cc carb engine. very good daily driver. madami din parts. Cheap to acquire and maintain. lamig pa ng aircon.

+1 din maski wala sa listahan

Used car maintenance are drastic specially previous owner neglected or even abuse the car. Bring up in a good to very good condition is no guarantee of saving money, unless youre buying those midnight express car parts (as is or bolok) to expect savings. Buying OEM parts are expensive too, so no other way around of savings only labor if you know what to do.

among your choices:

FC: pride (1.1 cc vs. 1.3 cc.)
Parts: pride din.
Maintenance: even the corner talyers can fix a pride.

Other alternatives?

a Lancer singkit.
a Nissan LEC.
a Mazda 323 square (boxtype look)
