P500K budget for car

**ledifni** · January 20th, 2011 06:36 PM

Hi,

My father wants to buy a new car, he actually wants a brand new car and definitely seems to like Nissan Sentra, since it is close to P500k. This will serve as a second car, we have a Crosswind and an FX. If ever, I would like to suggest to him that we convert the Sentra to LPG(though I don't know of all the effects, can someone please discuss this?). I really want the accent hatchback crdi that I think will be released soon, problem is, I'm not sure if he is willing to wait and extend the budget.

I think at P500k budget, there is something better at 2nd hand, than choose a brand new Sentra. I think he will accept newer than 2007 models. I am not specific about brands and models, I need something that is very frugal, durable, cheap and easy to find part, etc.; in other words, I want to get most of the money we will spend.

Please suggest guys. If ever you have links please post it here or PM me.

Thanks!

What sort of car do you want? Subcompact? Compact? van? CUV? SUV? Hanggang dun nalang ba ang budget or +- yun? For brand new subcompact, I suggest the Accent 1.4GL or a 2nd hand Honda Jazz 1.5. And then, you may want to consider the ES Civic 2.0, 2004 Hyundai Starex GRX CRDi, Nissan X-Trail, 1st generation Hyundai Tucson, or if you, like us, are very maalaga towards your cars and do not mind the controversies surrounding the Isuzu Trooper (ours didn't give us many headaches), its also within your budget.

Ang dami dami na nun eh! Taxi Vios, police car Vios, most of the subcompacts on the road Vios...

Once I saw five Vios units parked side by side outside a Starbucks outlet, and all of them are 1.3E's!

Pwede din siguro yung 2nd hand na Hyundai Accent 1.5VGT. Hanapin ang top of the line GLS variant para may all power amenities, foglights and alloys.
