Which One Would You Choose / Consider Buying?

[cast_no_shadow]

Lets say the car is fully repaired. Which of the two cars will you consider buying.

A. Flooded - nalubog totally.

B. Collided - major as in malaki ang damage / declared total loss ng insurance.

wala... kasi sa ganyang case ng sira baka less than 2 years lang may maglabasan na sakit yan

sa flooded unit possible major electrical problem lumabas then rust here and there

sa collided is kung buo pa yung body frame nya....

Unless you plan on getting spare parts from it ibang usapan na yan

[Egan101]

I'd stay away from either options. Dents or fender-benders will be fine but not a major crash. For flooded vehicles, there are a few models which prove they can survive water exposure (like those Ford Rangers) but for others, it's still a big risk.

Sir the premise is lets say may gusto ka na car. Then may seller meron siya 2 kotse yung isa flooded yun isa bangga.

Pero both are repaired and running na.

Which of the two will you choose.
Lesser evil baga hehe

fully repaired, as in binaklas yung buong kotse, checked completely, all damaged parts repaired or replaced?

from experience from flooding, you will never be able to get it all checked and done. yung sa santa fe ko dati i spent more than 250k, then after 3 years muntik ibanga ang misis ko kasi nag-lock ang steering due to a corroded steering shaft bearing. and i used the car a week before running at 160kph at sctex. yun naman starex grx i spent 140k, after 2 years biglang sira ang injector and ecu. the ecu was repairable (kinalawang yung pins ng IC) but the injectors were for replacement na. sold both, iwas sakit ng ulo, iwas accident din.

major collision no idea. siguro kung gawa ng reputable repair shops...

Wow bro yebo scary yan. Mukhang mas lesser evil yun bangga at inayos ng tama at maayos. Compared to a flooded one hindi mo pala totally maayos ng maayos. Thanks!

kung lesser evil is bangga pero ang premise ko lang sa ganyang case sir is kukuhanan ko lang ng parts... nothing more than that...

yung hindi magagamit na parts benta sa sulit

A. Flooded - nalubog totally.

B. Collided - major as in malaki ang damage / declared total loss ng insurance.

depends on what your definition of "fully repaired" is.
if it means, everything replaced, then it's practically a brand new car, 'di ba?
but i think you meant that everything works as of today...

i'd steer away from either.
it takes some time for rust to do its damage...
metal fatigue and weakened geometry are hastened by major collision.. and it takes some more time for these to manifest..

if there is a car that i will consider buying after it has been completely submerged in water, it's probably the classic air-cooled VW beetle.. because everything can realistically be repaired effectively, or replaced..

[lowslowbenz]

none of the above.

wala na bang ibang choice sir? parang pusit lang ah tapon lahat.

[basti08]

Kung Corolla XL/Tamaraw FX/Adventure etc.

Yung walang mga computer box, manual windows etc. dun nako sa flooded.

Kaya na patinuin yun ;)

[1D4LV]

hmmmm. madaming choices sa market eh. wala akong choice dyan sa options mo. maghahanap na lang ako ng oto na kapareho nung napupusuan mo. for sure meron nyan.

[cpsolt]

none... unless talagang car nut ka na maalam at hilig talaga magbutingting.

[monty_GTV]

same, NONE to any of the 2 given choices

[Walter]

Also same, none of the above. Would rather take public transportation. Why restricted to only these two options?

[cast_no_shadow]

Guys hypothetical question lang yan, even i don't consider buying one.

Actually yan business ng relatives ko they join insurance auctions ng mga total loss vehicles. If they win the bidding they repair the vehicles. If beyond repair na they just salvage parts that are still in good condition.

And yes on a naked eye they can do wonders talaga hindi mo iisipin na may nangyaring masama sa oto.

If I'm to choose siguro i'd pick yung bangga yet hindi head on collision, depende sa damage nung bangga.

IMHO, i will stay away from both.

Flooded, every now and then sasalya ang electronics component even hindi nasira after ma flood.

Bangga - well even how minor the major bangga is, minsan ang kotse kahit anong repair aesthetically di na maipapantay ang mga bagay na dapat diretso. kaya minsan yung kotse aalog alog, tagilid etc. kahit gaano pa kaganda ang repair.

kaya, ako i will pass.
