Planning to buy a 90s car

[eprnv]

Ready your wallet.

My experience with the Lancer Pizza, had to spend much on suspension. I'm satisfied with the handling, it's relatively fast (4G92A stock engine). Went to Baguio and Batangas multiple times. Had problems with the A/C. Typical old car... parang senior citizens, they need attention and maintenance.

But you'll learn a lot about the mechanicals... and the appreciation of old vs brand new car.

Good luck.

Wooah Baguio to Batangas kaya pa pala. You think kaya pa ng mga cars na yan ngayon, sir? Kasi I'm planning din to use the car for long drive twice a month. Probably mga 150km to 180km distances.
How much po repair ng suspension ng Lancer? Also maintenance?

Like any old car, you just need to follow the regular oil change schedule. Any car with a broken engine or tranny or suspension or aircon will be a bit costly to repair.

May nakita ako the other day na Accord '97 may problem sa pag-shift ng 3rd gear, costs 8k daw pa-repair. Will surely take note on those.

i'd personally go for these in the said order:

1. Nissan Sentra ECCS
2. Toyota Corolla AE92

AE92 lamang sa parts and maintainability pero sobrang bare and maliit. power steering and windows came in the latter years na ata. carb pa yung engine. yung sentra naman, if i'm not mistaken, pioneer ng efi sa class niya. all-power and quite roomy na rin. and the aircon...hehe if you can find an SE Saloon, it already came with 4 wheel disc brakes and ABS and sportier bumpers and mags.

i suggest set aside 50% of your purchase cost to possible repairs. hindi naman ito one-time gastos pag bili. marami pang lalabas niyan habang ginagamit a few months later.

Thank you sa input, sir!
Kaya pala I'm hearing great things about Sentra ECCS. Yung AE92 kasi sir mas gusto ko lang sa exterior and it's a Toyota car. Nabasa ko din na repair ng EFI is costly compared sa mga Carb type, is this true? Kaya pa ba ng mga cars na to na umabot ng 12km/l sa city? Hindi naman ma-traffic dito.
Will set aside din ng budget para sa repair expenses. Thank you, sir.

sentras (post-box type B12) are very underrated kaya good buy talaga sa 2nd hand market. you get many features na usually nasa higher class. pero that's also IF those features still work hehe

yes, mas mahal parts ng EFI system. but if functioning well, will give you better fuel efficiency and power than a carb. di rin naman ganun kasirain ang EFI unless barubal pag gamit at wala talagang maintenance.

like sabi ng iba, neither will give you 12 kms/l in city traffic like metro manila hehe kahit mga 1.6L ngayon mahihirapan abutin yan. 7-8 should be your most optimistic mileage.

No, no, no, no. Sorry. What I meant was, Went to Baguio, and Batangas, multiple times, but in separate occasions. With few ihi / coffee stop overs only.

Suspension went about 30k hindi pa kumpleto. Pero kasama na kasi ibang job orders gaya ng mga engine supports, brakes, etc etc...

Maintenance was change oil only.

By the way, nasabugan kami ng radiator noong nasa Baguio na kami. Buti nalang nasa Baguio na kami that time. Have to spend about 5.5k para palitan ng tanso 'yung radiator top cover.

As I have said, ready your wallet for a 90s car. But the experience (and headaches) is rewarding. Good luck.
