maintenance cost of 2nd hand vehicles

[alnr]

driving a well kept car = priceless.

kahit magastos...... i agree!!


typhoon, habang ala ka pa anak pagawa mo na ang dapat ipagawa at bilhin mo na ang dapat bilhin. kapag sakto lang ang sweldo, nasa bottom ang kotse sa list of priorities pag me anak na

Kaya nga ayoko pa magpakasal e hehe. Minsan nga nagseselos na si kumander lagi na lang daw kotse inaatupag ko

Fulfilling din naman kapag running smoothly na ung oto. Yun lang talaga bigat sa bulsa hehe. Wala pa ko anak pero feeling ko nagpapaaral na ko hehehe.

well it's one thing to spend for enhancements like mr happy_gilmore, but in general kung 2nd hand vehicle you'll be pressed to spend for broken-down parts.

i think a figure of 30k a year for just maintenance (replacing broken parts, etc.) is a good all-round figure.

actually, yung sa akin is a mixture of enhancements, preventive maintenance and replacement of spare parts.

like yung HU ko. i really had it replaced dahil sira na yung CD player lens. and i would have to spend that much na pag nagdagdag ako is a new HU na.

yung sa Timing belt, PM sya, but also had the h20 pump and the tensioners replaced also para makatipid na lang sa labor.

engine supports, replaced na dahil sira na.

yung mags, replaced dahil na bengkong yung isa.

not included pa pala sa list ko... battery that i replaced last year... 2,200.00

Ako, dami rin pinaayos sa nabili kong 2nd hand. Replaced a lot of parts (alternator, battery, one tire, HU, alarm, fog lamps, etc.), tapos payment pa sa checkup at iba pang repairs. Di pa kasama dun mga legal documents na kelangan kapag change of ownership. Still have other things to repair pero pinag-iipunan muna. However, the car is way much better than the first time I got it.

Yung previous owner kase walang service records. Kaya gusto ko alam ko kung kelan napalitan lahat ng dapat palitan for preventive maintenance purposes, not to mention replacing those parts na palitin na talaga. Kaya laki na ng nagagastos ko. I even maintain a spreadsheet with all my expenses and kung saan/kelan ako nagpagawa.

Right now I think napalitan ko na lahat ng dapat. Hopefully ma-normalize na ung gastos ko going forward.

Same here, typhoon. Wala service record yung previous owner. Nanigurado ako kaya dinala ko sa Mantrade yung ride ko tapos pina-checkup lahat. Thank God na tumatanggap ng Paylite yung Mantrade. Gumawa rin ako ng spreadsheet listing down all replacements, checkups, repairs, and even odometer readings para alam ko kelan ipapa-PMS ulit.

Hulog ng langit credit card sakin.

I've spent around 50k siguro since getting the car last July. This includes maintenance cost and repairs lang, wala naman ako dinagdag na pampaganda kasi ok na sya. The car is holding up well except for the fog lights. The angel eyes used to be a major pain in the ass. Palit wheel bearings, clutch master cylinder, compressor, oil seals, hose, among others.
