    Last 2012 dito ako sa tsikot forum humingi ng advise para sa 1st car ko for 120k budget.
    Sentra ang napili ko.
    120k Budget para sa una kong ride

    Ngayon nabenta ko na yung sentra at masasabi ko na hindi ako nagkamali sa mga inadvise ng forum na to. Sulit na sulit sakin at hindi sumakit ulo ko. :D

    Kaya bumabalik ako at hihingi ule ng mga pro tips nyo.

    200k budget ngayon at gusto ko sana ma-maximize yung budget.
    Pinaka latest model na kaya at yung hindi mahirap sa maintenance.

    Options ko.

    MAZDA3
    LANCER
    CITY iDSI

    Gusto ko sana malaman kung kamusta gas consumption ng 3 na yan.
    Parts availability?

    Same use padin pang weekend car lang kasama family.

    Sinusubukan ko mag review sa FB kaso kadalasan ng mga group ng mga yan exclusive lang sa mga owner na.

    Salamat in advance. :D

    Stretch budget to Civic 2006 up, altis 2008 up...

    Not-so-wild option, Camry 2003 up. Matibay pero malakas din sa gas hehe

    even an altis 2003 would be good. i drive one. but get a feel, first. some folks find it a bit cramped.
    and as is for all used cars, look for one that wasn't mal-treated by the owner.

    A late model year Nissan Sentra N16 GS will be a good option.

    i was also about to recommend a sentra, because i used to have one for 13 years. no major issues naman.
    but his thread above mentions that he just sold his sentra.

    TS, i still ask myself why i ever sold my sentra. i drive a 2003 altis AT now.
    mas magaan i-drive ang sentra na yun.

    Hi Sir. yup wala akong naging prob sa sentra. dumating lang yung time na gusto ko po mag upgrade.
    Highly recommended padin ang sentra for 120k below budget.

    Nung una target ko N16 since kabisado ko na mga bilihan ng parts at mga suking mekaniko na magaling sa sentra.. kaso ayaw ni misis. mas maganda pa daw yung B14 namin..(SABI NYA)

    Since ayaw nyo na ng Sentra, why not try the Lancer Cedia, Yung CVT 2009 model. Pwede kahit 2007 CVT model pwede. We owned both the Sentra N16 and the Lancer Cedia, and between the two, we enjoyed the Lancer more. If you're a relaxed driver, you will appreciate the Lancer's CVT, due to its efficiency and smoothness. With your budget, you can also find Corolla's and Civic's, but with that budget, you get newer Lancer's and Sentra's. Best way to enjoy your target ride is test driving them, see what fits your preference and of course, budget.

    Goodluck!

    Kung yung mga nasa choices lang ang pwede, yung Mazda nalang. Basta lang alam mo kung saan bibili ng piyesa.

    For lower budgets, Sentra's are really good deals. The N16 feels really upscale, kinda like a scaled down Cefiro.

    Among your choices, the iDSI City has the best fuel consumption hands down. CVT is known to have issues though. I also don't like the looks so much.

    Agree with suggestions recommending the ZZ Altis. Well maintained units look timeless. Even if considered cramped by today's standards, it is still acceptable if upgrading from a 90s compact.

    CVT yung transmission ng City iDSI. Dahil first of its kind na nilabas ng Honda, medyo may mga sakit pa.

    Don't have a Mazda 3. But Tsikoteers who do say that the 1.6 consumes pretty much the same as the 2.0. If that is the case, I might as well get a 2.0 and all the power that comes with it.

    Yun mazda owner.

    Hindi kase makajoin sa fb group nila kaya dto ko nagbabakasakali.

    Kung 7-8 kpl almost same lang naman sa city driving ng sentra 98.
    Manual or at sa inyo sir?

    Yung mga mekaniko gumagawa nagpapalit din naman siguro kahit saang mga service center like shell,petron servitek. Sa ganyan kase ako madalas nagmaintenance.

    Sa piyesa kung may takbuhan naman within metro wala naman siguro magiging problema.

    AT walang manual yung mazda 3. oo naman gumagawa sila saka yung model ng mazda 3 n to medyo marami ang bumili kya may mga pyesa at marurunong ng gumawa. isa pa parehas lang ang parts ng ford focus ng same model year kasi that time may stake si ford sa mazda. dont worry kung type mo talaga hindi sya maselan kagaya ng pagkaka alam ng iba.

    Sa choices mo and the budget, I'd go for Lancer, pizza model or cedia siguro.

    TS makikisakay na ko sa thread mo ha. pasensya na. may mga questions lang ako as a first time car buyer. currently po kasi naghahanap ako ng second hand car for 200k max budget. 5 po kami sa pamilya 3 kids na 8y/o eldest. bulacan area po kami so usually ang magiging gamit sa kanya e panghatid sundo sa mga bata, pangpunta sa mall. pero syempre kung maisipan namin na magpunta ng manila or mag out of town ayun gagamitin din sya para dun. pero madalang lang naman. sa paghahanap ko sa OLX, FB marketplace at FB groups eh eto yung mga naencounter ko at mga questions ko:

    1. May nakapagsabi po kasi sakin na I should stick to Japanese brands when buying second hand cars kasi daw mas madali ang pyesa. Para nga daw sa kanya yung ibang brands like kia, Hyundai, Suzuki e disposable kasi masyadong mahal ang maintenance at mahirap maghanap ng pyesa. Kaya din daw mababa ang market value ng mga to dahil nga sa reasons na sinabi nya. Totoo po ba to? Should I choose a Toyota vios 2006 instead of a Kia Rio 2011?
    2. Totoo po ba na mas matanda ang sasakyan mas matibay? Kasi daw yung kaha nung mga luma matitigas pa. yung mga bago malalambot na.
    3. then yung mga malilit na kotse like alto, eon, picanto, i10 delikado daw sa kalsada. Lalo daw kung ibabyahe ng NLEX kasi daw kayang kayang durugin ng bus at truck. Tama po ba to? Should I avoid smaller types of vehicles?
    4. What about repossessed vehicles from banks? Natetempt po kasi ako na dun bumili kasi nakita ko na lower yung selling price nila compared sa second hand market. Kaso may nakapagsabi sakin na ingat din daw ako kasi 75% ng mga sasakyan dun nilalaspag na ng owner kapag alam nya na mababatak na.

    5. based on the above questions, ano po ang mas preferred nyo na bilin kung kayo ang nasa katayuan ko:
    a. Nissan Sentra 2011
    b. Toyota Altis 2008
    c. Toyota Vios 2006
    d. Honda City 2007
    e. Honda Civic 2003
    f. Kia Rio 2011
    g. Mitsubishi Lancer 2006
    h. Kia Picanto 2011
    i. Hyundai i10 2012
    j. Hyundai Eon 2014
    k. Hyundai Getz 2012
    l. Suzuki Alto 2014
    m. Suzuki Celerio 2011
    n. Mazda 3 2006

    suggest lang po kayo ng iba pang sasakyan kung wala sa list yung suggestion nyo. sakin po kahit ano ok lang basta hindi yung sakit sa ulo at sirain. at syempre yung fuel efficient.. hehe.. maraming salamat po!
