[liteboxxx]

mga mam/sir..... patulong naman po,

im planning to buy a 2nd hand/used car, pang-family po sana kasi sa panahon po ngayon madalas mahirap sumakay ng bus, jeep, taxi etc. lalo na po kapag rush hour at kapag madami ka dala dala, kaya po nagpaplano po ako bumili ng 2nd hand/used car panghatid-sundo tsaka pang long driving din halimbawa po paguuwi sa province namin sa quezon/lucena.

wala po kasi ako alam sa sasakyan, baka pwede po humingi ng advice tips sa inyo kung ano po masa-suggest nyo po, ano po ba yung ok na 2nd hand bilin na ok sa gasulina at ok pang-family, hindi mahirap ipaayos kapag nasira.

maraming salamat po!

[SIZE=3]liteboxxx,
first of all, how much is your budget? From there you can work on which car for you? 2nd hand, I'd always go for a Toyota, since a Toyota has always been reliable & kalat ang pyesa & madaming mekaniko me kabisado ng Toyota. Kung me kakilala ka na mekaniko, isama mo kung titingin ka ng auto.
Goodluck.[/SIZE]

salamat!

[SIZE=3]That's good. Madami ka mapagpipilian. This are my recommended buy:
[/SIZE]

1. [SIZE=3]Toyota Altis[/SIZE]
2. [SIZE=3]Honda Civic (2004 model pababa)[/SIZE]
3. [SIZE=3]Toyota RevO (diesel)
   [/SIZE]
4. [SIZE=3]Mitsubishi Adventure diesel (2005 model pababa)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]Masmaganda kung AUV kunin mo. RevO or Adventure. Matibay, malaki & pampamilya.[/SIZE]

+1 on an AUV (can accomodate to as much as 10 pax or combined 5-7 pax and cargo) but diesel.

Add to the list the ISUZU Crosswind. For that price, you could get an XTO or maybe an XUV.

Good luck on the search!

i suggest MPV na lang kunin mo instead of a car, yung Avanza 1.3 (7 seater). Nasa range ng budget mo yan and it's easier to manuever than a sedan, mainly because of driver's position and line of sight. 2nd option is Innova J variant BUT a) Im not sure kung nasa range P450T ang mga 2nd hand units, & b) it may not fall under your actual needs.
In terms of reliability and service (parts), walang problema, if you notice there are lots of Avanza taxis (5-seater).You can read other threads regarding the vehicle and ask more advice from others, especially those who owns one.

* If you're not actually a 'starter' (as you said 'wala ka alam sa sasakyan'), go for AUVs.

[liteboxxx]

salamat po sa mga pag-share at tulong....

ano po ba yung AUV, MPV?

SUV? Sports Ultility Vehicle? tama po ba?


salamat!

[ejaydpogi]

what's your budget?

[liteboxxx]

what's your budget?

400 to 450k po.....any suggestions po kung ano ang ok sa budget? naisip ko po 2000 Honda CRV or kung kakayanin pa po 2002(Gen2) CRV.

Thanks!

[ans_lim168]

Get the 1st generation CRV, suspension and handling wise much better than it's successor (2nd generation), plus the fuel consumption of the former is better than the latter. Good luck.

[ejaydpogi]

if fuel and maintenance cost is not an issue to you, by all means go for the crv. our crv gets 6km/ltr kaya binenta namin. i would agree with ans_lim168. i find the 1st gen crv much better in almost all aspects. just need to find a well maintained one.

if fuel and maintenance cost is an issue. i will suggest you get a 2003 up corolla altis. you'll never get wrong with this car. cheaper to maintain vs. a honda and has good fc.

> How many are you in the family? 4? 3? 6?

> Are you more of an out-going person who loves to go out of town or you`re just more of a city guy?

> Do you usually have/carry LOTS of baggage?

ANSWERS:

> If you are just 3 - 4 in the family, a sedan would be perfect for you. In that budget that you gave, you could get a very reliable and a not-so-old sedan. BUT if you are 5 or more in the family, an AUV, MPV is just perfect for you.

> IF ever you are an outgoing person, then a sedan wouldnt fit you that much since you would be traveling into far places and you could encounter not so good roads. But if you are more of a city guy, like what I said, a sedan would be much more comfortable to drive.

> Obviously, if you are 4 in the family but you`re into carrying baggage, lots of them. Then the sedan wouldnt suit your needs since it's compartment might not be enough.

SUGGESTIONS:

SEDANS

> HONDA CIVIC ( 2001-2004 )
> COROLLA ALTIS ( 2002 - 2004 )
> HONDA CITY ( 2005 - up )
> NISSAN SENTRA ( 2006 - up ) since the resale value of nissans are quite low.
> MAZDA 3 ( if kaya )
> MITSUBISHI LANCER

MPV`s / AUV`s / SUV`S / CUV`S

> TOYOTA REVO
> MITSUBISHI ADVENTURE
> HONDA CRV ( preferably 1st gen, although it`s quite old, the ride is more comfortable than the 2nd generation ; 2nd gen is a gas-guzzler )


It really depends on your needs/purpose, you know.

kung family car and long trips sa province, syempre buy a suv. pwede na yung CRV, pero kung city driving for work and family lang better get a sedan, choose between honda and toyota regarding your budget. check ka sa manila bullettin every sunday. madameng for dun, then canvass your budget kung saaan siya aabot, dont forget to make tawad when buying a 2nd hand car, dont buy sa mga buy and sell shops, iy better to buy to a specific person. goodluck in buying...

salamat sa suggestions sir...right now, puro research muna gingawa ko sa sasakyan na plano ko bilin.
