    hmm.... the question is meron ka pa ba budget for repairs and maintenance? second hand rides are more susceptible to repairs since most parts would be worn out already...

    kung pang-dodown mo ng sasakyan eh kaya mo ba i-shoulder ang monthly installment???

    magastos ang may sasakyan.... pag-isipan mabuti dahil sigurado magbabago rin ang gastos mo pag magmemaintain ka na ng sasakyan (especially kung first ride mo) if by all means yes, then weight your options, know the purpose of your ride, baka kasi kailangan mo magkarga ng mabibigat eh tapos kotse ang kukunin mo... better siguro kung pick up di ba? pero kung ako sa yo... ipon ka pa ng konti at maghintay....

    tama sila. Pag isipan mo muna 7months sa work medyo hindi ka a stable dun.

    Magastos ang may kotse lalo na 2nd hamd at medyo may kalumaan na yung mabibili mo.

    For 3-6months puro palabas yan. Dun na lalabas ang lahat nang sakit nang sasakyan.

    Baka everymonth nasa talyer ka kasi nangyari na din sa akin yun. Nagbago ang lahat gastusin ko dahil sa kotse.

    i have the money, i just dont think id be all too willing to spend most of them on a vehicle. i just need a decent ride. it doesnt have to be a head turner, but it certainly doesnt have to be a pain in the head... nuthin too fancy.. come to think of it, (on the average) how much is good Sentra B13 that wont need any major repairs for the next couple of years? can i get a decent one with 100K?

    thanks again...

    With the budget I may also suggest an early 90's corolla.

    Kia Pride, cheap to acquire, cheap to maintain, cheap to repair. Although I did feel like a cabbie driving my cousin's white LX sedan (before it was restored). :lol:

    Pero pogi na ngayon with alloy wheels, new tint, sounds, anti-theft, etc.

    Nissan naman is bang for the buck. Kung hindi ka makakuha ng 1.6 Super Saloon, baka umabot ka pa din sa 1.4JX. 1.4 carb engine (1.3 lang sa iba), may rear seatbelts na, remote trunk release, excellent a/c (heater lang ang kulang, kumpleto lahat ng functions unlike sa Toyota), side door mouldings, moulded door panels (hindi pressed vinly na gamit ng Toyota), etc.

    But do set aside stuff from repairs. Sa Vitara lang, may mga kailangan ipagawa. Nasa Php20k lahat (piniga ko na iyan sobra, 100k PMS saka PS overhaul combined). Pero thinking about it, katumbas lang ng dalawang monthly payments nung Picanto iyon. Eh yung Picanto limang taon pang babayaran ng Php10k/month. hehehe. Yung Vitara debt free na. Medyo mahal din ang regular PMS ng Picanto kasi dapat sa casa. Yung PMS ng Vitara na hindi heavy kina Glenn ko lang pinapagawa, wala pang Php1000 ang light maintenance.

    bro:
    toyota corolla ae92....daming JDM parts

    sentra series 2..........ok, gwapo, mas madaming gadgets..(yung kumpare ko kakukuha lang 45k sentra LEC ex TAXI pero ok pa engine and body, di nga lang power steering, windows,)

    kia.....ok, mas bago ang makukuha mo sa budget keysa japanese brands.

    diahatsu charade...ok din, matipid sa gas..japan pa..

    IMHO, kung mag se second hand car ka dapat may basic knowledge ka sa maintenance ng mga cars para hindi lagi sa mga shops and talyer ang bagsak ng car mo...

    well i think a decent one would be around 130-140 k.... the thing is hindi mo kasi masasabi kung ano ang gagastusin mo at kung magkano magagastos mo. you might encounter some problems a day after, a week, a month, hindi mo malalaman at hindi mo rin masasabi kung magkano gagastusin mo. it might be carb prob. transmission, engine, etc... swerte mo kung minor repairs lang but with your budget... expect mo medyo dilapidated na yun sasakyan (unless max out mo yun 100 k without budget for repairs) isipin mo pa rin ang gas nyan (ouch) hehehe!

    bro, experience ko na yan and bago lang din ako nagwowork so medyo tight ang budget....

    pero kung ako ikaw at decided talaga na kumuha ng sasakyan... i'd probably get a kia pride or a volkswagen beetle and save the rest for repairs and mods.

    at that price range sir. best bet is a corolla ae92. strong chassis. good body. bihira kalawang unless talagang napabayaan. and ofcourse because its a toyota. lotsa parts sa suking tindahan. and cheap.

    you got PM.
