Where to buy second hand vehicles?

Observation ko din yung super low mileage units.

12 year old car with 52K kms lang? And then yung seats and plastic interior pieces giba-giba na. Seems impossible.

Few things I learned along the way:

1. Wasak na leather on the seats = constantly driven no matter what the odometer says. Sometimes its because wala syang quality tint, but then it shoes na lagi sa open parking sya.
2. Meticulously maintained? Tignan mo brand ng tires nya. Pag super cheap taxicab brands hindi yun meticulously maintained.
3. Private car not GRAB - check the a/c vents and dashboard. Pag puro gasgas pinang-grab yan kasi jan nila mount yung mobile device ng drivers
4. Casa maintained? - check the coolant color, oil filter (dapat branded ng casa) and drive belts (dapat fairly new).

Agree on all. Mine is low mileage (2010 48k) pero yung steering wheel natuklap na. Covered garage naman at home and work. It pisses me off

Pero when I bought seat cover for it, the installation guys said sariwa pa daw upuan. Rare for me to have passengers kasi.

Normal yung bakbak na leather steering wheel even if well-maintained. My 2009 Altis before ganyan din. Yun lang naman yung nagbakbak, the rest pristine pa.

Pagawa mo nalang sa Seatmate, 1.9k lang:

Yun din naisip ko pero okay naman yung kay Jut. Wag naman sana ako ma tiempohan sa airbag hehe

I've had 2 cars rewrapped with them and I'm sure they rewrap dozens of steering wheels per month. It's a straightforward upgrade once you disconnect the electronics. It's done in half a day.

2k na.

Sanay sila sa magbaklas ng steering wheel ma may airbag. Never had a problem for almost 10 cars na.

This is the latest na ginawa nila sa sasakyan ko last month

Bro, bakit ka nagpapa leather wrap? Trip lang or may benefit talaga?

Lalo kung relatively bago pa yung car?

It did cross my mind last week na kumuha pero kinukunsensya ako ni misis na useless eh hehe

Sound advices, sir!

Was pleasantly surprised nung inspection namin ng kotse when we saw Michelins sa tires
