As is where is po ang price... Both are 2nd owned units.. Ano po pipiliin nyo considering 6 years ang gap ng MAZDA3.

I like mazda3 kasi mas bago, pero thinking of the repairs needed make me very hesitant, plus i heard mas mahal daw ang parts ng M3 kaysa sa S.I.R.

Thanks

kung sariwa pa yung S.I.R., dun ako..

mas mura ang stereo + balljoint kaysa dun sa papa ayos sa mazda3 plus you get 160hp stock.

pero kung gusto mo ng mas bago na modelo tsaka kung may extra money ka, dun ka na sa mazda3

your money, your decision.

Nakakatakot naman yan mazda na yan bakit walang aircon? di kaya nalubog yan?

At 400K+ you can already find a Mazda 3 in good condition.

'05 Mazda3 without A/C? Seriously, WTF?

BTW, P300k flat (or a little less) sounds good for a decent SiR. But the keyword is decent.

I agree with this, and the Mazda 3 is a very risky option. Sounds like a car nap or accident history to me.

SIR pa rin, its a classic.

[renzo_d10]

M3 w/o Aircon.

Go for the SIR atleast you have less problems to think of than of the 3's.......well atleast, for now.

[Dudee]

Yun din naisip ko, less gastos ang s.i.r... nagagandahan kasi ako sa itsura ng M3, pero takot ako baka daming pang aayusin...

Sabi ng owner, freon lang daw kulang.. di ito nalubog sa baha, nor nabangga... I know it's history, The problem is, di talaga marunong mag-alaga ng kotse ang owner.

Although loaded ang Mazda 3, will the 60 thousand price difference offset the repainting job, buying new tires, and airconditioning repair? Choose the better maintained car.
