Plan to buy my first car ever

[L1quid]

Thank you sir

Hindi ko naisip na i measure ang garage namen. I think that was a good advice.

I will do this pag makuha ko sukat ng sasakyan na target ko.

Baligtad bro. Sukatin mo muna para makasiguro ka'ng tama/kasya ang mapipili mo'ng sasakyan. Andyan na kasi yan eh, unless plano mo ipagawa yung garahe para kumasya yung oto.

measure your garage's dimensions, and keep them with you.
bring a measuring instrument when you go to see your prospective cars, and compare your garage's measurements with the cars' .
cross out from your list, the cars that barely fit.
remember po, that when you car's door opens, it will need considerable space, if you want to enter or leave the car. my personal minimum is 1 meter.
and don't forget the right side of the car. add a foot or two to the total width.

Hi mga Bossing,

Bago lang ako and ang purpose ko to join ay humingi sana ng advice sa inyo.

Plan ko po bumili ng 2nd hand na kotse budget is 150k, mukang kaya ko pa stretch budget ko to 200k if next year since may bigayan ng 13th month sa December.

Bale kung sakali po ay first car ever namen eto sa family, mahirap lang kami pero nagawa ko mag ipon ng pera sa pagtitipid ko. In other words wala talaga ako alam sa mga kotse, actually wala din ako lisence at di ako marunong mag drive. Plano ko pag makakuha ako ng kotse papaturo ako sa pinsan ko na marunong.

Hindi ko alam kung ano ang the best car na pasok sa budget ko pero ang gusto ko sana ay compact car hatchback kasi maliit lang yung garahe namen kasya isang tricycle. Meron ako dalawa na choices, Hyundai getz at Hyundai i10 kasi mukang pasok sa budget ko nung nagtitingin tingin ako sa mga buy and sell online.

For personal use lang naman kasi gusto ko ipasyal ung mag ina ko sa mga magagandang lugar like baguio, tagaytay, etc atleast may sarili kami na service.

Baka po may mga tips and suggestion po kayo kasi as in zero knowledge talaga ako and naghahanap hanap lang ako ng idea sa internet until makita ko tong forum.

Salamat po and more power sa inyo mga bossing.

May ibinebenta bf ng anak ko corolla 94. Bagong pagawa lang. 100k lang. Binili nya para sa anak at apo ko pero ibinigay na lang namin yung oto namin dahil bumili kami ng bago. Bago pati suspension, alternator at battery. Issue na lang yung paint kung maselan ka. Di ka na mamomroblema dahil naayos na lahat ang pwedeng maging issue sa makina. Mahirap talaga tumingin ng second hand. Inooffer ko sa yo baka makatulong sa paghahanap mo.

Sir salamat po sa offer, pag iisipan ko po mabuti yan. Right now prefer ko talaga ay compact hatchback over sedan. Pero in case mag decide ako sa sedan pm ko kayo dito. Salamat po

My advice, avoid converted surplus cars from Japan such as the Honda Fit.

Wow, very timely comment. Actually while browsing for car options I found this honda fit.

Kung kaya sana ng budget ko ang jazz i'd go for jazz kaso mahal. Etong honda fit para syang jazz pero mura lang.

Can you shed me some light kung bakit ito dapat i avoid sir? I did some research earlier and read na mahirap daw kasi hanapan ng parts eto but others pointed out na same lng naman sila ng parts ng honda jazz.

Tingin ko din nmn wala pinagkaiba ang surplus vs pag bibili ka ng 2nd hand na local car? Or im wrong?

Also i read na hindi na daw mareregister sa lto tong mga surplus cars but ung binebenta ay registered until 2019 pa so medyo confusing.

Honda fit is honda jazz. But those fit are prolly from japan.
Reason to stay away from conversion is marami nang ginalaw sa sasakyan (transmission, steering, etc) that can be a source of possible issues down the line (poor workmanship).

Advice, if you want to stay away from ex taxi's or alike, you can look for a hatchback.

Add an approx 30 to 50k on your budget for repairs after acquiring a unit. Do not assume all sellers are honest. And also, stay away from bayan sellers [emoji3]

+1. One of the most reliable versions of the Yaris.

"strike while the fire is hot!"
the best time to sell, is when someone wants to buy.
one has to start somewhere.
heh heh.

errr... brian, manual or otomatik? carburador o EFI?

the yaris sana.
but perusing olx, for some un-explained reason, it seems to be asking for a higher price than the local cousin vios.

so my recommendation is a basic MT vios. wag lang ex-taxi.
because this car is very popular here, you should have little trouble fixing her up.

[trilobyt]

Welcome to Tsikot sir!

I was on the same boat as you some 20 odd years ago. All I can give as an advise is "If there's a will, there's a way"... so follow what your heart desires and go for it. Good luck finding your first car. It is actually the one of the most enjoyable part.

[dr. d]

follow your heart, but mediate it with your wallet.
never assume that your wallet is thicker than it really is.
the rematado garages are always full.

[dreamur]

Go for it TS. There is always a first time for everything. And if it doesnt work, lesson learned. Good luck!

Right hand drive kasi sa Japan, meaning nasa right side yung steering wheel. Para maging left hand drive, madaming parts ang pinapalitan. Walang kasiguraduhan kung maayos ba pagkagawa nito. Mas maigi, iwasan na lang ang converted cars from Japan as a general rule.

Suggestion ko, 1st gen vios na lang talaga tulad ng sabi ng iba, kung may problema man, madaling ayusin. Just check if may oil sludge issues ang engine.

But with your 150k budget, parang may nakita ako na Lynx RS na sakto sa budget mo sa OLX... Baka gusto mo nun, matulin din yun.

[SoleusBB]

On a tight budget, I'd give my vote for a 2nd hand Toyota.

-Parts are more or less very common (vs Korean, American or even other Japanese brands);
-Parts aren't too expensive ( vs. Hondas, Nissan)
-Maraming marunong gumawa, or with experience gumawa ng "remedyo" (i.e. workaround) repairs- though I also frown on the latter.

Ang 2nd hand, usually (though not always) may "mga toyo na" so expect to have to repair something down the road. I'd suggest keeping that in mind din sa budget mo.

[jayarmabiya]

Ask ko din mga sir kung ok ba maghanap ng mga 2nd hand cars sa used cars option ng autodeal?
