Year or Mileage?

[WersUrShock]

My aunt US based may bahay sila sa Balanga Bataan they spend 1 month dito sa pinas yearly for vacation.

They bought a brand new Rav 4 (3years old na) given the situation super baba ng mileage.

Iniisip ko if good buy ba yun if ever ibenta? Maintenance shempre hindi na nasunod yung mileage / or every ilan months ba ang toyota nakalimutan ko na. Yearly PMS nun kanila pag umuuwi sila.

Agree ako na pag low mileage dapat justified lalo na pag hindi mo kakilala.


Dagdag pa natin, low mileage nga pero lagi naman babad sa traffic.

High mileage pero puros highway driving naman.

Ang lawak talaga and ang daming factors. Sobrang swerte lang talaga if it hits all the checklist.

Read the whole thread. At first I was eyeing a Celerio and Picanto but since the price is the same with an Almera, why don't I go with a bigger car.

baka batukan ako ng ilan, but...
the vios is in the same price ballfield...

Really? I may be browsing in the wrong place. LOL. Sa FB marketplace, 2012 Vios AT, cguro around 300K. For Almera, 270K can you get a 2014-2015 model AT.

"the asking or advertised price is the 'wish-ko-lang' price. it is not necessarily the final, hand-shake price."
owner-sellers are usually more amenable to real discounts than bayan sellers.

Ang challenge pag mataas mileage dumadami mga wear and tear items na kelangan na palitan (ie. tires, shocks, brake pads, hoses, oil seals). Yung low mileage better assuming nde tampered at nde lagi stuck sa traffic, maganda kung alam rin reason bakit low mileage, nde rin kasi maganda na low mileage pero everyday 1-2km lang biyahe. Pero kung madami sila kotse tapos iba iba gamit ayos lang.

Sa amin around 5-7k km average distance per year sa bawat kotse. Yung third na pang coding parang 1k km per year lang.

I know there a lot of factors to look at when purchasing a car. Let's say same models, both are okay and nagkatalo lang sa year and mileage ano mas important for you and which would you choose?

Example:
Car 1
Year 2017
Mileage 70K

Car 2
Year 2014
Mileage 20K

IMHO 70k mileage is too high.

20k is very low for a 5 year old car. Is this a coding car? Was in storage for a long time? Tampered mileage? Check first if condition matches the mileage.

Even if the post does not say negotiable? Before I have dealt with someone who won't budge. LOL. Despite the ugly looks I think I would still go with the Almera rather than Vios.

Thanks for the explanation. I'd look for the lowest mileage possible.

That I don't know but I will find out. I know the lower mileage the better but for you, what is your accepted mileage?

I'd say around 10tkms a year max. Ours typically travel around 7-8k for the daily drivers. For the coding car, 3-4k. This is for Metro Manila city driving.

Of course mileage is not the only indicator of a vehicle's condition. Cars in the US generally have very high mileage, but are in better condition due to better road and traffic conditions.

It's a steal bro....

Buy it now!!!

And you know what? - I will still bet on the low mileage car.... (Huwag lang binaha!!!... )

[Jun aka Pekto]

Me, personally? Assuming the odometer is original and has not been tampered with? I'll go with older car and (lower) mileage.

[minicarph]

Pag leather seats alam ko pag lagi na stock sa garahe, madale ba masira so mas ok na yun hi mielage, kasi lagi may sumasakay,

[ice15]

One thing to add...

Naalala ko sis-in-law ko, Almera kasi car nya.

Company owned pero assigned sya outside the Metro.

Unlimited Gas + Toll kaya sobrang taas ng mileage.

Pero free maintenance din, kaya maliit na sira - casa agad for repairs.

So kahit mataas mileage nya, maayos naman maintenance

-> baka walang pambili ng gas si Car #2 (2014 - 20K mileage)
-> no gas = di magamit = no maintenance

You have a point. Baka hindi na PMS. This is cguro if iisa lang ang car nila.

Isa pa ito. Mamaya kaya pala low mileage dahil regular na pasyente yung kotse. [emoji15]

Haha yung coding car namin binili mid 2017, 68k mileage. Ngayon 73k. Unfortunately ang dami nang enterprising individuals ngayon at mapapaisip ka talaga.

Kaya nga dapat you will scrutinize the PM records. Go to the casa where it is serviced and ask for the records. Makikita mo din dun yung average time between services which can confirm the odometer reading. Pag hindi na casa maintained at least may entry yung service passport. If there are any doubts then just look for another.
