Year 2017
Mileage 70K

Car 2
Year 2014
Mileage 20K

i'd ask myself how the car was used by the owner. garage queen o weekend demolition derby? mom's hatid-sundo schoolbus or dad's traveling salesman beater car to the badlands? honest seller or fast-buck incorporated?
and i agree with egan, that both cars belong to the same platform generation. otherwise, i'd comb the car reviews to see if there is a significant change therein, that i should desire or avoid.
bottomline: condition. condition. condition. ownership.

good luck, po.

might i ask, what car is this, po?

Hey, it's you again. LOL. This is a Nissan Almera AT. Thanks for the tips.

Di na nya inelaborate eh. Narinig ko kasi sa passenger nya nung tinanong sya, "Nakahugot ba yan?" Sabi ni manager oo daw hugot na. TInanong ko ano yung hugot. Then yun na yung explanation nya.

Parehong First Owner/Seller?

Parehong may garahe/bubong?

Kondisyon ng katawan/pintura?

These are good questions. Normally, I would check lang kung first owner. I won't bother if seller. Yang garage and may bubong, ngayon ko lang naisip na mas better if meron. From here onwards, I am going to add that sa checklist.

Kaya kailangang pinupuntahan sa bahay kung ang seller ay owner (din)....

Tapos kung low mileage,- ilan ba ang sasakyan nila? Kung isa lang,- medyo malabo di ba? Ano ang dahilan/sitwasyon nila at low mileage?

Pero kung 5 sasakyan,- it makes sense na low mileage iyan....

the almera!
perusing the almera threads, i believe there are recurring complaints about bearings and other issues that i forget at the moment.
i am wondering, if nissan had already addressed these issues.
in truth, i am still mulling over getting one, myself...

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.

Tama tama. Good tong pang isolate if totoo ba talaga. When I bought my first second car before, swerte na it was their second car and company provided. Kita sa tires na totoong pang sundo lang ng kids.

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.
