Can you please tell me which is a better deal? A Honda Accord 1994 vs. Mazda Familia 1999. My budget only ranges from 130k-150k. Accord is a bit higher so can you please tell me if Mazda familia 1999 is ok interms of maintenance, etc... Here are the links of the models i found. Thanks!
I second the Mazda for your daily use since its cheaper to run and operate. But kung mayaman ka at kaya mo 8km/L consumption and around P7000/PMS then the Accord is head above waters than the Mazda.
Whichever has a better overall condition... though bear in mind that the Accord is 5 years older than the 323 so the chances of more parts breaking due to wear & tear is higher.
For the Mazda, its sore points are the engine mounts, rust in the rear fender, transmission bushing & erratic idling. These items though can be easily remedied & wouldn't cost that much.
