Need help to decide which to buy.

**georgejr05** · February 5th, 2014 02:16 PM

I have a budget of 140k for 2nd hand car. One of my colleague is selling his Toyota Lovelife 1999 power steering and all manual. 1.3 2e Carb engine, 155+k odo and first owner, car is in mint condition even the body, price is 150k, I would like to buy it but it bother's me with the carb since I preferred to have efi. Do you think that this is a good buy or look for efi like sentra series 3 etc. I need your expert advice. I need fuel efficient. Thank you!

Tingin ka sa mga sulit cars o car finder any brand will do, mag budget ka lng 100-120k kc yung 20k mo I budget mo na lng sa mga shocks, bushing or tie rod dagdag mo na change oil para maganda condition.

Mahal sya for an entry-level trim of the Lovelife platform. Puwede pa siguro kung yung 1.6L EFI model na Lovelife.

Kung di problem sa iyo yung gas, may kakilala ako nagbebenta sa akin ng Galant 98 VR (V6) na 120k lang!

well, definitely mas okei ang engine with a newer technology.

if you decide na kunin yang 2e, madili lang imantain nyan, kahit carb lang sya,
actually dahil nga carb sya, mas madali imantain.

hindi sya maselan and mostly, or even all talyers, have know how sa engine na yan.

if you decide naman na iba nalang and efi nalang ang kunin, be sure to double check everything.
medyo sakit ng ulo ang faulty sensors, and medyo mahal.

less power feature == less headache...
most of the time.

if you could haggle it down to atleast 120k, pwede pa siguro pagisipan kung kukunin.

and lastly, wag magmadali, napakadaming kotse na nasa 2nd hand market, madami ka pa pwede tignan.

goodluck on your carhunt!

Sentra B14 (96-00) puwedeng-puwede sa budget na 150k. Kung mayrun Lovelife Corolla 1.6L for around the same price, panalo din. Oks din yung big body Corolla.

If I may suggest, why not save another 150k and buy at least an above 2000 model car? There are 2008-2010 mazda 3s out there priced at 320-350k. Mahirap na kasi bumili ng super old car, sayang yung inipon mong pera tapos papasakitin lang ulo mo sa repairs. Sure it may look and feel mint now, pero you can never tell kung kailan magkakasira.

And if you want to have it ASAP, you can finance it thru banks. There are also lots of repossessed cars by the banks that you can finance directly from them. Galingan mo lang sa paginspect nung car. Use your 150k as DP and finance the remaining lets say 1 or 2 years. Yun nga lang you have to suck up the interest.

Just my 2 cents bro.

salamat sa inputs nyo. buti diko pa nabayaran.

* leodawesome diko kaya mas mataas sir baka abutan pa ng isang dekada bago ako magka 150 ulet ayaw ko din ng monthly bill. hanap nalang siguro ako ng iba.

tipid po ba sa gas anh series 3 ng nissan? how about mazda anong masusugest nyo?
