Ayan tama si pareng oliver mahirap kapag alang aircon, typical problem for a 2nd hand cars specially late models. wala naman akong comission sa nissan pero i've bought a nissan kasi last jan. price of 160k model 99. since nung binili ko siya aircon compressor pa lang napapagawa ko worth 3k. pinalitan ng bearing which is normal for a 8 yr old car. sa fuel consumption nmn sinukat ko cya about 9 to 10 km/liter. top speed? mahal ko kasi pre ang buhay ko kaya hangang 150kph lang naabot ko pero pde pa syang pabilisan bata pa lang ako para mamatay! hehe. think of it din pare

paco03g,

few other questions that should be answered are:

where will you use it? within m.mla only or long drive or combination of both?
how many passengers will you load? is it a family car of 4-5 person or you will use alone?
is this your first car?
aside from the max P175k budget, do you have something left for maintenance or modification?

but, top of my head choices:

1995 & up Corolla XL
1994 & up Corolla XE/GLI
1995 & up Lancer GLi/GLXi
1998 & up Kia Pride

or in Manila Bulletin sunday edition.

I'd prefer buying it from the owner itself rather than the car lots.

HTH!

tama sila sir orly, you shouldn't buy any car at the edge of your budget, remember you are buying a second hand car, and you should set aside maybe about 10k for anything that still to be fixed. anyway good luck sa car hunting...

96-97 Honda City Exi - Will hold its value for years to come not to mention good view/control of your front end. I had a 99 Sentra S4 pero kalampagin naka tatlong balik sa Cruven in a span of 6 months kaya beninta uli. 95-96 corolla xe is also a good choice.
