August 2nd, 2014 03:13 PM #11this is a tough one...
first of all, are the innards comparable, as in, hindi ike lozada-ish ang driver's seat...?
second, you won't miss the facelifting now, would you?
if you are ok with it, and assuming no tampering on either car...
my kneejerk response is the 2006. but tawaran mo pa.. kias are not famous for their high resale value..
tell the seller, "i am choosing between two cars, the other being 2 years younger than yours.. but if you can give me a substantial discount, i'll take it out of your hands.."
i suspect he really doesn't need the money..
good luck.
comment: i am assuming this is not a bayan seller.. otherwise, all bets are off.Last edited by dr. d; August 2nd, 2014 at 03:38 PM.

i'd go with the 2008 gen 2 with 30,000 more kms. the 2006 with only 60000km screams "tampered!" to me.

August 2nd, 2014 04:59 PM #13Dunno about that -- we have a 2003 vehicle with about 75k on the odometer, a 2006 with 55k, a 2007 with 45k, and a 2009 with 20k.
Nagulat na ako na 11 years na pala yung '03 model namin hehe, parang hindi pa kasi luma pag ni drive.
Sticking on topic:
Assuming both cars are in approximately the same condition, I'll pick the newer car.
Facelifts usually come with redesigned parts that are difficult to spot -- different interior, better sound deadening, updated mechanical parts.
That, or get the car from the person who can give you a significantly bigger discount.Last edited by mda; August 2nd, 2014 at 05:04 PM.

^^ same here, my dad has a 2003 car that has 55k+ and 2013 with just 2k+ milage.
With the topic, when both passes the trusted mechanic, I'll choose what I want to have.
There is really nothing more that can be done since you've done the homework.
2nd hand is a hit or miss purchase.

August 2nd, 2014 05:59 PM #1510k per year is the average so not surprising if a certain car will register something smaller. There are also people who own 2 cars. I for one had a gas sedan and an auv diesel. That automatically halves my usage per car per year. E mas pinapaboran ko pa yung auv diesel dahil mas matipid kaya mababa talaga ipapatak ng sedan ko. Kaya di mo din agad masabj tampered kesyo low mileage. If the seller has service records, maski pa sa labas na ng casa, much better para ma check mo kung validity ng kilometrage.

yes, if the seller has more than 1 car then believable ang mileage. pero kung 1 car lang...

August 2nd, 2014 10:21 PM #18If they're gonna tamper the mileage, they could have made it even lower. Our 2006 Tribute has only 55tkms on it. Perfectly possible if it isn't driven everyday, and/or is usually driven over short distances only.
Unless the car has a factory defect, I doubt you'll have problems with injectors till well over the 100tkms mark. AFAIK, as with all Hyundai/Kia CRDi's, it uses a Bosch fuel system. Should be much more reliable than the more finicky Denso's used in Japanese brands.
92tkms for a 6 year old car is pretty high. Our 2005 Accord hasn't even reached 90tkms yet. I suggest you set your sights elsewhere.
How much is the selling price, by the way?

I have a 2005 Alterra with 70k on the odometer. It's for coding and weekend drives.
My 2005 Vios already has 160k on the odometer. It's my daily drive.
On the topic, I would choose the car with the lower mileage. You can't buy "mileage", but you can buy the accessories.
Be sure lang na hindi "tampered" ang odometer. You may request for the service manual and CASA records, nakasulat dun ang mga ginawa sa sasakyan with the odometer readings.
