Need help with choosing the right car

**SuperPatatas** · May 1st, 2011 11:23 PM

Hello everyone. Was browsing the net when I found this forum a few days back and have finally decided to register. This forum is absolutely a gem of a find specially for someone like me.

Moving forward, baguhan lang po ako na driver (just got my non pro license last month) at wala talagang alam pagdating sa kotse. Naghahanap po ako ng first car na pwede mabili, and let me just set your expectation na hindi ko po afford bumili ng brand new. Ano po ba marerecommend nyo na 4 door na kotse base sa mga qualities na iindicate ko.

a. Price Range na 300k to 350k.
b. Year 2000 or higher po.
c. Automatic.
d. Pwede sa mahabang byahe papuntang probinsya at gamitin din sa pagpasok sa trabaho.
e. Matipid sa gas or diesel.
f. May appeal kahit hindi lagyan ng pampapogi na parts.
g. Affordable na mga parts at madaling mahanap ang pampalit na part/s.

Sana po ay matulungan nyo ako kasi medyo kabado po ako sa pagbili kaya mas minabuti ko na munang magtanong tanong kesa naman magpadalos dalos sa bagay na halos wala ako nalalaman.

Marami pong salamat.

Hi Sir and welcome to Tsikot! Congrats on getting your license and now getting your first car! Now, what sort of four door car do you want? Do you always drive alone? Do you prefer taller vehicles? Subcompact sedan, compact sedan, AUV, pickup or SUV?

Most of the time po ako lang ang sasakay sa kotse, pero pag uuwi ng probinsya kasama ko parents ko.
Pasensya na po pero hindi ako familiar sa ibig niyong sabihin ng subcompact,compact,auv at suv. Ang hanap ko po na kotse is yung parang mga honda civic ang itsura.

Thank you po sa information na yan. May specific type po ba ako ng civic or corolla na dapar hanapin or ok na basta na meet nya yong year 2000 model?

sa Corolla yung Altis ha.

Search ka sa sulit.com at ayosdito. May price range na agad dun na puwede isama sa mga parameters na gusto mo. Plus yung year model.

Yes, for your budget the Corolla Altis 1.8G is within your budget. It gives you more power than that of the regular 1.6L engines but isn't quite as thirsty for gas as the 2.0L engines. Or, you can get the same era Civic VTi-S if you prefer sportiness over luxury. This one has among the best 1.6L engines out there and has similar power output as the all new Elantra 1.6DCVVT.

Here are some cars which you may want to consider:

Thank you po para dito sa mga recommendations niyo. At least now may idea na ako kung anong mga car ang compatible sa need ko and pasok sa budget.
