Please please help. This is a very rush deal. Worth my whole life of saving> :(

[GTi]

I thought I posted a lot of links already? All the City's there are VTi's if I remember right. The market price is at approximately 200-300k.

[vinj]

dude just to point it out...
people who think their superior because they have a car are naive and egocentric .... superior because they own a car?? hahaha

dude dont compete with their "ego"... it just proves your ego is better and more satisfied... social climbers think their above all...
but at the end of their day, they come home to their shitty house shitty room and shitty life and still think that their superior because they have an iphone 4 and a car... but you? you are a pilot student.... you dont have a car but you have more to contribute to the society than those social climbers...
idd be more happy to hear if the primary concern of buying a car is the convenience of going to work...

as for your savings... it would help more if you put your savings to fund your studies...
piloting cost a lot of money to finish...

after you graduate go buy a bmw 3 series or c class

A lot of us pointed this more valuable line of thought but it seems the kid has his priorities set.

I've made my mind. Ill be getting the city type Z vti. But I cant find a good deal over at sulit and ayosdito. What is the common price of it? and do you guys know any showrooms of used cars in manila? Ive been to carland, the one near star city

The internet and those showrooms are more expensive. Try Manila Bulletin on Sundays.

I reflected on it for almost a year. Sometimes our shoots or shows last till 3am or 2am sometimes 12, I live at sta. rosa city laguna, and its really really hassle for me to commute going to manila and should still look fresh, same as going home, the latest trip to sta rosa is like 10pm, and the next one isa around 6. So most of the time I have no choice but to stay in a hotel, of course I cant go to cheap motels because we need to take care of our ""image"", so I spend like 1500 per night, so if I have 3 events in a week, ill be spending 4500. That made me realize that this might not be a stable income, still I enjoy it, and I need a car to coup up with it.

*GTi: halos puro civic po yung napost nyo kuya ehh

[SiRbossR]

tomorrow will be a sunday, go buy yourself a newspaper, and look at the used car sections. also, look for the buy&sell magazine and buy one. i always see, Type Z's on ads in those reading material.

[michaelbelen]

*sirbossR, ok sir, noted! thanks! is mitsubishi VR a good idea sir? I also see a lot of type Z's. But its the type Z vti im looking for specifically.


Mga sir, do you know where can I rent or find a trusted mechanic who can accompany me for a day of car hunting? Ill just pay for it. Please? If you do know some one.

I would suggest against getting a Mitsubishi VR. VR means a 2.0L inline 4 engine, so performance is not very good when coupled with a midsize sedan body especially when the engine in question only has 136hp. Midsize sedans are much more expensive to maintain, not to mention more thirsty at the pump. If its midsize sedans, you're better off with the Cefiro but as is I'd suggest you think about that a few years later when you've saved enough extra money for you to want a weekend/special occasion car.

For the daily commute stick with the Type-Z VTi. Remember that prices in classified ads, be they online or in the papers are almost always jacked up by a considerable margin. I don't see why online ads can generally have more expensive price tags than the ones in the papers. The ones in the papers have to pay to have their ads posted! I'm pretty sure when it boils down to the real price, pare-pareho lang yan.

It reminds me of our college professor when she asked in one of our test before. Granting we passed the board exam and got a good break (a project), what would you buy as investment? many answered a house and lot and start a small business. But surprisingly, the correct answer is a car. A car as investment? As explained to us, it is a necessity in the profession that we choose, just like doctors. She and her husband are practicing it, they have two vehicles. They're just renting and it is only a few years back that they build their own house.

btt, you can also ask your friends (thru social network) that you're scouting for a car. They might know someone or their friends of friends might know someone selling a car of your choice. But be very extra careful though. It is good if you can chance those who are upgrading or wanting to have a new model cars.

If you want to check out the Nissan Sentras, there are some good, properly maintained units being sold by Club Nissan Sentra members on their board.

Yup, a good 1993 to 1995 B13 Super Saloon will go for around 120K or less. FC is at 8km/L for the m/t models.

for me, if you want to fill up your primary requirement: "yabangan, fitting in or social requirement"

get a brand new. kung kaya mo or magagawan mo ng paraan ang monthly amortization (15-20T).. heck under 100T madami ka na choices na good korean, japanese choices...

ako nga, its been more than a month, may plaka na ako, ayaw ko ang ending, kaya di ko pa kinakabit..and siyempre, iba ang arrive mo na dealer-plates or new series ang plaka ng sasakyan, than 5-year-old car.

[raycon_24]

still looking for city type zError check it out

[niky]

check this out. it's unit id in sulit is 4299921. the link doesn't entirely show up here in Tsikot.

Bawal daw s u l i t . c o m . p h ... tsikot classifieds lang dapat... :hysterical: ...someone's been busy with the word filter.

Yeah... that'll work. Everybody knows where to find sulit.

For some jobs, you need a car, but you need to be smart about what car you buy. A City Type Z in immaculate condition is a great, practical car. So is a Corolla in immaculate condition. So is a Sentra in immaculate condition... but be careful of buying older fuel injected ones, it's difficult to cure sensor and idling problems.

[SiRbossR]

^*niky: onga eh. that's why i just placed the ad id instead. haha

*TS: niky's correct. that's all i can say. haha.

i myself too are looking for cars din so i can have something to play with eh. im looking at RS's, TDCi focuses and some Trucks and SUV's narin. Pero im not in a hurry padin cause it won't be important naman eh pero im gonna get one padin. well, the TDCi and the RS are my top picks as for cars.

[michaelbelen]

may nakita akong mga bago and magagandang cars, but minsan my budget would be like 50k short. Then may nakita akong mga "financing" then I asked about it. And yung iba, kunwari nasa 50k lang naman short sa budget ko, napayag silang monthly without interest, or kung meron man, as in sobrang baba like 100 a month. Naisip ko din kasi, kung 5k a month lang, kayang kaya ko yun, tingin nyo good idea yung "financing" na yun? feeling ko mas ok mga cars pag ganun eh

Kung ako (ako lang ha!), I wouldn't get a car under a financing scheme. Its either full payment or none at all. Kung di kaya bumili ng kotse, huwag bumili. I don't wanna have obligations to anyone or owe anyone money. Kasi naman you may be able to pay for the monthly dues now, but you never know if the time may come that you may not be able to do so. Sayang lang kung marepossess yan at mawala lahat ng pinagpaguran mo.
