    Model 2003 and up. At least 1.8. This will be used as a coding car.

    Current Choices:

    Civic ES - looks do not appeal to me but I've been told that it is a reliable car

    ZZ Altis - worried about the sludge issue

    Camry - seen several on the 350k range but I am willing to stretch the budget if it is a good buy.

    Any other suggestions?

    Among your choices, yung Camry ang kukunin ko since it will be only a coding car, I guess its fuel consumption won't be a big issue here.

    if fuel economy is not a issue, then the camry is definitely a steal. dahil sa mababang resale value ng luxury sedans ok na ok talaga sila pag 2nd hand ang bibilin, ayos pa sa features

    kunin mo nalang sa 2.0 ang engine, para di masyado malakas sa gas

    coing car eh, much lower/better maintenace yung altis IMO vs. the camry.

    As long as you follow the PMS sched of the ZZ altis and use semi-syn engine oil, no worries ka sir IMO.

    It's hard to determine if the previous owner followed the PMS kaya medyo alanganin din ako sa Altis. Is there a quick way to determine na sludge free pa engine?

    Ano masasabi niyo dito:

    http://www.ayosdito.ph/Toyota+Camry+AT+03-1865056.htm

    What is a reasonable amount to bargain? This will be my first time to purchase a second hand vehicle if ever. May kilala kasi ako he sold his car na less than 40k from his asking. If I drive a good bargain baka maka slash pa ko ng 50k or more???

    i'd get the civic here. 5 speed and just 2.0 vs 2.4. Tawaran mo lnag since oct 2010 pa PMS. kung ibigay ng 380-390K, ok na IMO.

    Hi, if it is only a second car then choose a car that has good intrinsic value and less in resale department. In my opinion the best will be a sentra.....your budget can get a sariwa sentra of 2007 model. If you are driving an automatic tranny then get a manual tranny so you will experience both. Just a piece of advice based on my experiences. Good luck.

    If i have 350k, i would go for Vios 1st gen 2004-2007. Since it is a 2nd hand car, best p rin sa parts ang toyota.. Inevitable na may masisira talagang parts sa 2nd hand car, since it is running for more than 4years or more

    I've actually owned MT cars all my life. I first had the chance to drive my friend's AT car in the 90s and I didn't enjoy it so much. Then last year I got to test drive several AT cars and it was so much better. Kaya ngayon I am willing to try AT na

    Thanks kaya lang I don't wanna go below 1.8 because I am giving up my 2.0 car. Gusto ko sana yung di malayo ang ipapalit ko. I was supposed to buy a brand new 1st gen vios in 2004 but it's just too small for me.
