yup! yun usually isa sa unang tinitingnan pag bumibili ng secondhand.

have your mechanic check it before deciding. and testdrive it.

Mileage is an important factor to correlate its usage to the car's current state relative to the price, model and make.

IMO, an EK Honda Hatchback for 270T with over 100,000km even if there are many modifications is a bit on the expensive side.

For me mileage isn't really that important. What is important is the general condition of the vehicle. There are so many tampered odometers already and you will never know unless maybe if you are buying it from a meticulous first owner. I have seen so many low mileage lemons and some high mileage gems. Go for the condition. Bring a mechanic for your piece of mind.

High mileage should not deter one from buying a properly maintained vehicle. Sometimes it is better than a low mileage but uncared for ride.

But you have to keep this in mind: how high (mileage wise) are you willing to go for a properly maintained ride? Kasi there is a point where no amount of proper maintainance will compensate for high mileage. Paints fade, metals rust, parts have life cycles, engines are not built for life, etc.

Just consider the overall condition of the vehicle, how long you plan on using it and how much you have to pay for it. If sa tingin mo sulit, go for it.

Korek ka jan kapatid.Odometers even digital ones can be tampered with.
Bring a trusted mechanic with you.Test drive the car.There are a lot of factors to consider when buying a second hand car.Look for the "danger signs", replaced windshield,repainted cars 9bka bangga yan).Replaced or repaired radiators,etc.. goodluck bro

Kaya nga importante ang mileage because it is the "barometer" where you can correlate how the car is used, anticipated maintenance, wear and tear of items, etc. That is also the reason why it is tampered by unscrupulous beings so as to MISLEAD prospective buyer.

And yes!, the operative word/s here is kung "sulit" at gaano mo ka-kursonada. Its subjective and everything is relative.

Hindi ko napansin may particular car ka palang kinoconsider.

Sometimes naman kasi such as in your case, pricing is being dictated by the particular unit itself. Tama sila medyo mahal nga yan pero kasi di ba mataas pa din ang demand sa mga ganiyang unit?

So if you are dead set in getting that particular model and wala ka nang makitang iba, sometimes you have to pay at a premium para masunod gusto mo. Medyo hindi practical, pero at least masaya ka lol
