    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.

    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.

    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.
