Hi,

I just recently found this forum at kakaregister ko lang and I don't want to waste any time to get in touch with you guys.
I had read some posts and nakita ko na madaming matutulungin sa forum na to(napatunayan ko sa post ni tsinelas, hehe).

Ok, here's the thing...
My wife and I are planning to buy our first car.
We have our kid and ofcourse alam nyo na na basta nabanggit ung anak eh low budget un...haha
Plan namin iallocate atleast 140k, don't know kung madadagdagan pa dahil nga sa chikiting namin.
Rason din ay dahil nga nagpapakadakilang ama tayo eh ayaw natin na hindi kumportable unga pamilya natin sa mga lakad2 or pasyal2..hehe

Since bata ako gusto ko talaga Honda, especially civic 96 and up model pero talagang mataas siguro resale value ng auto na un kaya parang malabo ko pa makamit sa ngayon.
Kakahanap ang nakikita ko na mejo malapit sa katotohanan ay City na 97-98 model.
Gusto ko sana itanong hindi ba masyado mababa ung ganung presyo para dun?nakakahinala ba?
May nagustuhan din ako aside from HOnda, lancer glxi pizza pie(un daw tawag dun), i think 97 din ata model nun...ok din ba un?

All power talaga hanap at gusto ko(steering, windows, etc.. pti power saver sa gas)

Kaya ba ng budget ko ung mga gusto ko?
Sure i know how to drive pero pagdating sa specs and other things wala ko kaalam alam.
Gusto ko nadin magkaroon ng sarili dahil nahihiya na ko manghiram sa tito at pinsan ko ng sasakyan(baka malast touch kasi, haha)

Hopefully matulungan nyo ko...
Salamat and More power!

[d'flash]

just take away from A/T cars for that age of car. try to consider nissan cars. you can have higher models for that budget.
honda city 97-98 for 140k is not enough but for nissan it can suffice, like what you've said mataas ang resale ng honda, prestige daw eh

hehehe...never been a fan of A/T sir.
kahit sa esmi ko sabi ko sa manual siya dapat na matuto.
hindi kasi talaga ko pamilyar pag nissan idol ano2 ba mga magagandang modelo nun?
salamat sa reply sir.

Nyahaha~ Honda fanboy ba bro? Sarap naman talaga gumamit ng Honda, kahit mga luma. Basta wag lang lumang matic, marupok eh. Nagkaron na kami ng '97 Accord VTi A/T, '00 Civic SiR M/T, '04 Accord 3.0V6 at '05 Accord 2.4. Maganda talaga ang performance, although obviously yung iba diyan hindi matipid sa gas.

Tama naman ang presyo ng 1st gen City at 100+k. A family friend bought a '98 City A/T for 160k, if I remember right. Hanap ka nalang ng all power. Yung iba dun half power lang (front power windows, rear hand crank), yung iba pa no power talaga.

Practice necessary precaution dahil 15 year old car narin ito. Baka makalampag na at marami pang aayusin, o kaya nabaha.

Other cars worth considering would be the B14 Sentra EFI or the Ford Lynx M/T. IMHO, both look better and are more spacious than the 1st gen City.

haha gusto ko lang talaga sir o baka dahil un ung una ko nadrive na kotse tho hindi ako dun natuto.
fuel efficient din ba yung lynx? all power din ba?
gusto ko kasi sana ung di masyado malakas sa gas saka kaya umakyat sa matataas i.e. baguio
Accord boss? AFAIK lakas sa gas un ah?
salamat po sa reply.

Honda -- ridiculous resale value
Pizza lancer -- ridiculous suspension

So you're left with two japanese brands
Nissan and Toyota

For 140k, you can get either a 93 GLi Bigbody or a B14 Sentra. Both are EFi. Both are big enough. Both have spare parts ready (tho the Toyota might have more available) and both are reliable.

No ATs please!

yes sir definitely no ATs.
i do prefer sana mga 96 pataas kasi wala ata all power na 95 pababa?
ung hyundai elantra na 97 model ata un ok din ba?
Salamat sa oras idol..

[renzo_d10]

Nope! Hyundai was never good before, ngayon lang. Or at least until the 00 Starexes came out.

The GLi 93 is all power. Basta GLi na Corolla all power na yan

salamat po sa reply.

Dun sa Lynx, oo bro. All power siya. Mga early 2000s model na ang makukuha mo as compared to 90s model with the other brands. Hindi siya ubod ng tipid, pero acceptable na. Very comfortable car. Mababa ang resale niya dahil sa Ford brand. May stigma na mahal ang piyesa at malakas sa gas. But since this is not a North American Ford, in other words rebadged Mazda, that stigma does not apply and parts are actually readily available. 118hp engine means power is plenty enough. Kayang kaya ang Baguio bro, kahit Kennon Road pa. Speeds of 190km/h and slightly beyond should be attainable given that the car is in top form.

Mga Accord namin? Wala akong sinabing matipid sila sa gas! Very fast and comfortable though, at matipid tumakbo sa highway. Even the 3.0V6 is capable of doing double digits.

Kakayanin yan! Lagi naman may room for negotiation ang mga posted prices na yan eh.

For detailed maintenance info, I'd suggest you PM sir niky. He owns one and knows his cars to the core. But AFAIK, it is the same as the average Japanese compact. Change oil every 5tkms, filters every 10tkms, yada yada yada...

If I were you to get a Sentra, EX Saloon of 1995 onwards or kung meron, Super Saloon.
If I were you to get a Corolla, GLi since the XE models or lower have carburetors that can have lower fuel economy tsaka no power (except steering)

Good luck!

[OniLord]

b14 sentra for the win. below 140k madami nagbebenta nyan, kung 96 model pataas talaga ang hanap mo.. but if you really like a honda for your 1st car, i think madami civic ESI ngayon na swak sa budget mo.. yun nga lang 95 model pababa sya

Yeah. Year 1999 or 2000 when I saw that car sa isang car exchange.

GTi, yan ba ang big body or lovelife?AFAIK, toyota corolla is the most practical car to maintain and most suggested for 2nd hand car buyers with tight budget.

TS, advice ko lang, you should not be in a hurry in buying a car, if possible, try to stretch your budget to get a newer model and bring your trusted mechanic to inspect the car. Expect to spend a lot for repairs in your first year of ownership of that used car. Swerte mo na kung makakuha ka ng well maintained at napalitan na ang old parts.

Big body po bro. AE111 ang lovelife. Medyo di ko nagugustuhan ang itsura ng lovelife, although subok na matibay din talaga ito.
