150-160k 2nd Hand sedans

[mazdamazda]

Get the newest (1997 and up) & best conditioned Sentra/323/Lancer that you can find for your money.

The Sentra is a good car... don't listen to fanboi rants that it's hard to maintain, parts are difficult to source, only the aircon is good, yada-yada. Just inspect any car that you're buying carefully since the condition of a car even of the same model varies wildly given the maintaince done to it.

Getting an older Corolla (95 under) or high-priced Civic (200K+) isn't really cost effective given that the resale value of both vehicles are unnaturally high.

Hi we have the same dilemma...im also looking for a car na range nun budget ko is 100-150k..Tapos all my superiors/officemates discourage me to buy a sentra...About the sentra na-kwento ko lng kc sa friend ng mom k na balak ko bumili ng 2nd hand car tapos inoffer nya yun 95sentra nya...To my surprise low mileage lng sya at wafu pa...Story kc dun sa car nun bago sya ng-abroad lng yun may-ari tapos natambak lng sa garahe...tapos nun 2005 binuhay lng sya...inoffer nya sa akin ng 80k (2gives pa)...
Test drive ni bro last Saturday (A1 condition) sa Baguio....
Nun nakausap ko officemate ko sabi nila 80k sentra + 20k stresstabs + 50k biogesic = 150k

I would opt for the sentra pare. Okay bang for buck performance, and interms of parts marami naman, as compared to what they are saying na kesyo daw mahirap maghanap at mahal ang pyesas. Corolla and civic dami na sa kalye.

[franco C.]

pasok din sa budget nyo ang mazda familia, lahat ng hanap nyo andito, 1600cc , lamig aircon, comfortable and hindi boring sa mata mganda pa ayusan mga parts madaming source at matibay hindi sirain,

I have owned an summit eagle lancer (88-92 model glx)- mataas ang maintenance ko sa front wheel suspension(makalampag; which i believe is similar on the next model -hanggang sa pizza..dunno the new ones). 10km/l

then Sentra '96 SS SE - ito ang pinaka mababa ang maintenance ko na vehicle; maganda naman ang performance skin nung sentra na un (actually ang nissan dinedesign nila ang kotse nila to have fewer moving parts compared sa ibang car designs, para mas konti din ang imamaintain/papalitan; less cost din sa labor); u will not worry about maputulan ng timing belt, kasi timing chain sya...(umiingay lang pag matagal na)... mahal daw price...... ng major parts......kasi original at assembly na kasi, pero onced replaced it will serve you years..... yung ibang consumable items meron din naman available na value (meal) parts.
yung mga cases na humalo ang langis...baka kasi ibinirit yun ....why? kasi mababa ang engine output(power) ng B14 engines compared sa corolla & of course sa honda civic. kaya kailangan ibirit pag paspasan.....mileage 8-10km/l

civic vti - malamig ang aircon....malakas ang engine..... mileage ko 12-14km/l
maganda din ang riding comfort.... isa lang reklamo ko....ang mahal na kotse...mayabang ang reputasyon.... wala namang CUP HOLDER..

Best bang for your buck is the Sentra S3...kung makakakuha ka ng SE(special edition) yun ang d best.... 4 wheel disc brakes na kasi, ABS pa, 3 spoke steering wheel..hand sewn leather na steering wheel mo & shift knob....at higit sa lahat may CUP HOLDER!!!
Isa lang ayaw ko s Sentra..... hindi maganda sa trafican....matigas ang clutch para sa akin! kasi lever actuated sya...

hope this helps.

hindi talaga pinapalitan ang timing chain. pero yung tensioner bearing kelangan palitan mo para tumahimik, swabe ulit tunog. pero kung di mo man palitan, ayos padin di naman bibigay.

[ridihil]

Thanks guys... I know i would be getting great answers in here...

Actually, kung ako lang, Sentra talaga ako eh... Konti lang kasi sya compared sa civics and corollas... Wala din naman ako balak ikarera or i-dress up ng todo ang kotse... siguro matinding upgrade na ang 16-17 inch wheels at konting audio set-up... after nun, all stock na.

people have been enticing me kasi to get a civic or corolla kasi dami nga parts kung gusto mo i-set-up bu the thing here is, wheels at audio nga lang ang i-uupgrade ko.

Meron pa po bang ibang may feedback about the fuel consumption of the car? (as well as the mazdas or mitsus na nabanggit ninyo) kasi isa talaga sya sa considerations ko... anyways, got links in here ng mga sentras na nakita ko dito din sa tsikot... can you guys check 'em out and give me feedbacks too?

Sorry po ah? if ever kasi, first time car owner as i only own a motorcycle... I would be planning to buy a unit next month or pinaka late, march. here are the links of the sentras i have seen as well as some corollas na pumasa sa akin... need more of your help guys! thanks a lot!!!

[shadow3616931]

Nagkaroon ako nissan bumigay a/t tranny at 60k odo, 50k+ nagastos ko semi surplus pa yun kundi abutin ng 200k. Then yung Nissan Balintawak di maganda serbisyo, I recommend nissan UN. Kaya eto balik ako toyota

[midasproject]

Guys, alin ba mas OK gamitin as service? na gagamitin sometimes for long stints to the province?

Dapat... ...
1. Matipid sa gasolina
2. Cheaper to maintain (from engine to any type of maintenance procedures)
3. Mas kampanteng gamitin
4. A/c dapat malamig

Choices are: 96 Sentra EX Saloon, 96 Lancer GLI or 95 Civic ESi? Feedback naman, thanks.

[basti08]

EX saloon sir. pero kung kaya ng budget mo ang ESi, I suggest mag Sentra SS SeriesIII ka na lang.
