Tips on buying honda civic EG hatchback

**Mguy** · June 28th, 2011 07:31 PM

Hirap sa ganyan, daming pormadong Hatch dyan na unang tingin mo lang, love at first sight kaagad. Pero, daming problema na nila na mabubulag ang potential buyer.

For me, if he is selling the car for more than 120k sabay cut spring sya, walk away. Feeling ko barumbado ang alaga nya sa car nya. Mayroon naman mga hatch selling between 150 to 200k na maayos ang pagkaporma. Look around pa.

Ask him if he can accompany you to a gas station with a lifter so the mech can inspect it. That was what my friend did when he bought a used car.

Change engine na po siya B16a with integra tranny automatic.Im scheduled of meeting him tomorrow this time papalift ko na sa gas station ung car.engine has no problem so far. salamat po sa inputs guys konti na lng papayag na siya sa offer ko eh. sana pumayag na.

Sir thanks po sa suggestion but we need a automatic car.Its not for me its for my brother, hindi pa sya masyado sanay sa manual. And since student pa lang sya he chose this model kasi it more of a "student car". And madalang po ang matic na hatch ngaun most of them converted from manual.

eh di ito:

honda hatcback (all-stock) 1992 model Philippines - 3773022

Student car sabay B16 ang nakakabit. Ingat lang dre. Can't see the wisdom of buying your brother a car na lakas lumamon ng gasolina. Eh student pa sya. Plus, there are a lot of AT hatch na lumabas na stock dito.

Eto pa:

HONDA CIVIC EG HATCHBACK for only 165k Philippines - 3706072

1994 honda civic esi Philippines - 3504379

HONDA CIVIC HATCHBACK Ek3 Philippines - 3499417

sir, as stated before by sir Mguy, i also suggest you walk away from the unit. kung matic pala talaga hanap niyo, try looking for civic ESi's with automatic transmission or if you can stretch your budget a little bit, consider EK civic VTi's or LXi's. matakaw po yang b16 + auto tranny. aside from the cut springs, you should also wonder why the owner converted the manual tranny to auto transmission. hindi po naglabas ang honda ng EG hatch na matic sa local market. di niyo rin po alam yung history ng makina and transmission before being transplanted so medyo risky po yan...
