Need help in deciding which 2nd hand car to buy

[riseku]

Hi guys, I'm from Cebu and quite a newbie searching for my 1st 2nd hand car. Planning to buy it 2nd hand since ayaw ko mag financing for brand new. Budget is 400k but can stretch it a bit.

Will be using the car on fri-mon since nagrerent naman ako near my office. Gusto ko lang talaga bumili kasi hassle mag commute on mon morning and fri night.

Here are my top priorities
1. Driving dynamics
2. Maintenance and parts
3. Fuel consumption
4. Comfort (yung tipong mabilis lumamig ang cabin kahit tanghali)

Here are my picks naman and estimated price (no particular order). Shortlist ko po ito upon reading many reviews and posts here.
1. 2012 civic exi - 500k
2. 2011 civic fd 1.8s - 400k
3. 2008 mazda 3 2.0 - 350k
4. 2008 camry 2.4v - 400k
5. 2008 crv 2.4 - 450k
6. 2013 accent 1.6 crdi - 500k
7. 2011 tucson crdi - 500k

Thanks in advance po.

go for 6! pag city driving

Hello! As for fuel consumption, you can go for Hyundai Accent Diesel! Super tipid talaga lalo kung MT!

good buy na ba ang 2011 Civic 1.8s at 400k?
or ipon pa konti para makabili ng FB?
Mas prefer ko din kasi yung exterior and interior ng FB tsaka parang mas malamig yung A/C niya.

kung gusto mo ng FB, parang 450k+ ata yung mga 2012-2013 sa marketplace, may 420 pa pero probinsya. Ako kasi mas gusto ko itsura ng FD exterior hehe. Pero siyempre, mas bago, mas maganda sa papel. First release nga lang siya ng generation hehe

Never heard yung feedback about sa aircon. haha okay naman sakin.

The FB rides softer than the FD. It was more like the Altis in terms of ride and handling.

May FB ako before. Mas refined kaysa FD - interior is more subdued and ride is more comfortable. Pero boring handling. Tama comment ni Egan - FB Civic closer to an Altis than FD Civic.

So objectively the FB is not a bad car, just not in line with typical sporty mantra of the Civic lineup. FC Civic combines both the good handling of the FD and the refinement of the FB.

Given na may 450K budget (max) and a separate 50k budget for repair, Civic FB or 11th Gen Altis both in A/T?

Priorities:
1. Comfort
2 Reliability ng suspension (will be use mostly sa provincial roads)
3. Aircon
4. Fuel consumption

Kung makaka kuha ako, planning to keep the car for the next 5 to 8 years (max) sana.

TIA!

Ganyan nalang pala presyuhan ng Altis na 11th gen? ngayon ko lang nakita sa marketplace

[papi smith]

Balak ko sana ibenta ang FB ko ng 400k, kaso, nahinayang ako kasi sarap gamitin nito.

Buti nga presyuhan pa na 400k. Balak namin ibenta yung 2010 Sorento 2.4L AWD namin tapos nasa 450k lang bentahan nya to think na 1.7M+ eto nung binili. Kung may kukuha nito ng 400k, baka bigay na namin.

Yes sir. May pailan ilan na nag o-offer between 460-490k usually 2014/2015 models. Then, subukan ko tawaran kung ibibigay ng 450k once na decided na ko mag Altis.

Hirap kasi sa marketplace, may biglang susulpot na Civic FB na naka post kahit Altis ang sine-search ko kaya nahihirapan ako mag decide. Gusto ko din kasi porma ng FB kahit sinasabe ng iba boring daw tignan.

The Civic FB they say is like an Altis so the Altis is a boring car too. Both may not be as sporty as the Civic FD but they are still good compact cars. Most drivers are not going to drive their cars to the limit so the Civic FB will be more than enough for their daily needs.

I had both the 11th gen Altis and FB Civic. 11th gen Altis ako - more space, more agile, better ride.





But the FB Civic isn't far behind - so if you subjectively like the FB Civic more, then go for it. Get the Japan-made EXi that comes with Bluetooth, push-button ignition, reverse camera, among other features that the Thai models don't have.

Thank you sir Egan. Wala naman problem sa akin kung boring ang looks ng FB or Altis hehe. Priority ko parin talaga is driving comfort at reliability ng suspension parts since madalas gagamitin ko sa provincial roads. Habol ko sa Civic kasi yung engine na 1.8 + resale value (planning to keep the car for the next 8 years max sana).

Btw sir, currently driving Honda City GM at IMHO makalampag yung suspension neto kahit nung bago palang sa amin.

Noted sir Jut. Mas interested din talaga ako sa Altis given na mas updated yung interior neto + looks na din (more suitable for EUDM setup IMHO hehe).

Engine performance + resale value kasi ng Honda yung nagpapa gulo ng isip ko hehe.

The Altis with its high capacity cvt will probably outlast the competition.

Kung madalas sa provincial roads, mag CRV/Forester ka nalang.

Nothing wrong with those choices... check mo na lang which among yung mas prefer mo upon inspection... i mean, pinaka least na gagastosan mo for upgrades or maintenance...

Example, may nag bebente ng fb at altis, check mo sa dalawa kung sino yung lamang on their current condition...

Goodluck. Both are win-win.

agree ako dito, yun nakuha ko 2008 altis ay engine and interior yun check ko maigi. yun yung mas mahal ipagawa e, madali paint correction or even hilamos vs interior restoration IMO
