Should I buy an Alto 800 Standard?

[slapz]

We need a second car. I want something that is inexpensive, selling price, maintenance, and fuel.

I already have a Haima 7. Do you think buying an Alto800 standard is cost-effective? Or it's just a waste of money?

What do you guys think?

PS: Takot ako sa Eon, kasi Hyundai.

there's a review of the used alto in one of the local car mags, in the past 2 months, basic car that is dirt-cheap..
if you want a car that will bring you from point A to point B with a minimum of frills, then alto is a consideration.

Yep, a car from Point A to Point B, because I have the Haima7 for other purposes.

My only problem is, is it a waste of money, or actually a good buy for this purpose?

the alto's strong points are its fuel efficiency, and its rock-bottom acquisition price.. its trans is not as silky smooth as the japanese, but it gets the job done. put it this way, i would get one, if my family and i can fit inside. but we can't fit, so there!

Interesting... Anyway, a test-drive would make decisions easier I supposed.

So, no recommendations of just getting a 1-2 year old car with the same price tag? :D

we all know buying a used car is like dipping your hand into the barrel and grabbing an apple.. we never know what we grabbed until we see it and/or bit into it..
good luck..
but if you like to gamble...
have you considered a vios? sabi saken, it's one of the most problem-free cars.... is it a good extrapolation that used vioses should prove to be less problematic than the others?...
or a 90s sentra series 3...efi na, japanese pa, medyo luma nga, but hey! matibay talaga..
or, ang walang kamatayang revo.. super tibay.. gas para mas mura.. the diesel is still selling at unbelievable price...

I think even for a point A to point B car, you shouldn't sacrifice safety.
The Alto 800 has no safety features, it's an outdated car wrapped in modern skin.
If you want a modern A-segment car, you might want to look at the P498K Mirage GLX, at least it already comes with dual airbags. Plus points too for the extra interior room because the Mirage is sized between a traditional A-segment city car and a B-segment car, the Mirage is also a global car.

Mirage. Reliable? Visit MPH fb groups slapz. See for yourself.

Why not live some and buy a MIRAGE instead? You get better value.

Or buy an older Corolla with the same value?
