Guys, just wanna ask if a 97 civic vti with racing filters, cd/mp3 stereo, 16" racing mags, fresh look (in and out) at 230K, is a good buy?

whats the mileage of the car ? if its still a bit low below 50k km its is a good deal, but if its in the upper nearing 100k km tawad mo pa![]()
check the condition of the car (engine, body baka bangga, etc). wag mo muna pansinin accessories.
I don't think that a 9-year old car would have a 50k or below mileage.Originally Posted by johnart
or even below 100k. Unless the car is used for weekends only or has a tampered odometer. Just my 2 cents.

those accessories are cheap, you should not think of them when considering purchase of this car

racing setup you say? baka pinangkakarera yan, di lang for show -- in which case better check the major components
So, halos di mo pala nagagamit ang kotse mo. O baka naman marami kang kotse kaya ganyang lang kababa ang mileage. Kung ako, malabo akong bumili ng ganyang kababa ang mileage kasi para sa akin lalong walang integrity ang makina dahil di masyadong nagamit. Mahirap ng i-long distance ang ganyan. Another 2 cents, personal ko lang.Originally Posted by johnart

daily used 20km san juan to binondo5x a week = 100km/week * 4 = 400/ month * 12 = 4,800 / year . In 10 years more or less 54k km occational out of the city travel. right now my 2002 strada is 4 years old but its at 24k km mileage. So its really possible to have a low mileage carOriginally Posted by Trajano

Ah okay. That explain it. Very short city ride. Like what Globe Telecom is saying, "Posible"Originally Posted by johnart

Ako when I buy, aside from the mileage I also check where the usual route of the car is...baka kasi lagi sa baha dumadaan or sa malubak or maalikabok or kung mya roofed parking yung owner....para na rin may idea ka sa ibang mech'l parts. Then I check the inside of the body sa mga fender areas kung may pukpok or yung paint finish kung original pa at may re-touch. Pero 230k is a best buy na sa value ng 97 civic vti...going rate is about 250 to 300 pa nga minsan.
