2000 Honda City Type Z or 96/97/98 Honda Civic?

[cezy_18]

Hello guys!

I'm new here in tsikot and I am planning to buy a 2nd hand car (Manual tranny). I would like to know if a 2000 Honda City Type Z is better than a '96/'97/'98 model Honda Civic. I wonder kasi why their prices are quite the same despite of the difference in year model (around Php 200-270k).

Can someone tell me what price range does a 2000 Honda City Type Z should fall under if the mileage is around 60-80kms? How about a '97 Civic with 90-110kms?

Also, if you have any suggestions on what other cars to choose from for a budget of 190-250k, I will greatly appreciate it. The car will be used for daily city driving.

Thanks and TC!!!

1.5 Vtec ba o 1.3 lang?
ang 1.5 vtec is stage 2 na DAW and both are SOHC
matipid sa gas at the same time mlakas ang makina mas malakas pa sa stock ng GSR. Mahal lang ang parts.

for 250K ok na yung 1996-1998 corolla gli 4 daily driving dami ding parts kaht saan at mura, me airbag na to at ABS (ata) kung sporty trip mo get the TRD edition...

Hi power eagle! Thanks sa reply.

1.3 yung engine yung 2000 Honda City Type Z and yung mga nakita kong '96/'97/'98 Honda Civic Models. My preference rin kasi is "makatipid" sa gas. Usually yun ang target ko: 1.3-1.6 engine types.

Any other suggestions or replies from other tsikoteers?

cezy_18, I currently drive a 2001 city type-z. So far, im very satisfied with it. I get 9L/km City driving and 11L/km Highway. If your looking for a descent (comfortable/aircon/quiet) transpo that is matipid sa gas then honda city would be it, just dont expect for power or sports performance, this car doesnt have.
I just had my 80K preventive maintenance sched (PMS) sa honda-alabang, it cost me almost 12K. Its abit high, but its alright since it had to do with replacement of timing belt, tensioner ... oil, fluids (critical engine parts). but if its not critical-engine parts sa labas na ako nagpapagawa.

BTW, ask the previous owner of the city if it had a 80K PMS na, otherwise u have to have it done. Mahirap maputulan ng timing belt... aabutin ka ng 20K sa repairs.

Hi CPY61! Thanks dn for the reply!

I actually checked the unit today and it seems ok naman. Wala naman kalampag or whatsoever. Napalitan na daw ng bago yung radiator and for now, it needs change oil. May minor scratches sa lip ng hood and gilid ng car and medyo blurry yung plastic sa headlights.

Would you know how much it cost to change the headlights as well as change oil?

Also, medyo matigas rin ba talaga yung feel ng clutch ng Honday City Type Z? (Or baka nanibago lang ako , iba rin kasi ang feel ng Toyota Revo.)

Refer to previous reply. Message was doubled.

Cezy_18, if ur in the south u can go to camspeed and have it cleaned parang 500 per headlight (pls double check). Camspeed is in the Alabang Town Center area their beside St. Jerome Church. maraming shops duon, just look for Camspeed. Btw, look for carding or Dong. They do home service too if you like, but me additional lang.
Cezy_18, malambot yung clutch ko ndi sya matigas.

For the change oil, just go na lang sa mga shell station near u. Baka me marecommend ibang tsikoters na tiga-south.
