Which 2-liter Car to Buy?

[Egan101]

In Sulit, I've been seeing quite a few VTi-L MTs but the sellers don't indicate if this is the 2.0 or 2.3.
A bit OT, is Sulit the best place to look for a used car in good condition? What are my other options?

Thanks for the tidbit on the LTO fee, didn't know they doubled it.

Some owners, specially those who are not too geeky with their cars will not have much of an idea if their 6th gen Accord has a 2.0L or 2.3L engine. The VTi or VTi-L tag is the easiest identifier. The best way to check it is get the chassis number and confirm it against Honda records. Unlike the 7th gen and 8th gen models which clearly indicate the engine displacement on the car. The Honda F engines have the same mounts as the H engines. The H22 (engine of the Accord SiR) is a common option for an engine swap but you need to have the right tranny and ECU to get the swap right. The H22 is rated at 200hp (AT) and a bit higher for the MT. The newer Accords use the K engines for the 4-cylinder models and the J engines for the 6-cylinder models.

Sulit has some good options as well as AyosDito. Maybe you can also chance upon some within your neighborhood with ads posted within the car themselves.

If you're looking at the Mazda3 2.0R, you might also consider the 2004-2005 Civic ES 2.0L (K20). It shares the same platform as the 2001-2005 Civic ES (Dimension, "singkit") and the same engine as the 2.0L 7th gen Accord. Some 7th gen Accords are also priced in the same range, 300k to 350k.
