among your choices, its the 2000 GLS. I think it costs around 230-250k. why? its the newest.

my second choice would be the Exalta.
my last choice will be the rolla. why? its the smallest of the bunch.

i'd go with either the Civic or the Corolla.

For 150k you can get a well conditioned, accessorised, and somewhat souped up 1995 Lancer. Pang-gas at maintenance na lang yung sukli.

I think mataas pa yung bentahan ng mga Lancer 2000.

Sir, just my 2 cents.
Kung naka B14 SS ka, wag ka na mag exalta STA. Matakaw sa gas pero di matulin. STA is AT only. Unless you really like an AT car, it is basically the B14 massaged with extra features which by this time might not all be working 100%.

If you have an Avanza, get the Civic then. The lovelife is more like every Toyota, like your Avanza, simple to operate, dependable. The Civic is all that plus more driving fun.

thanks sir basti, yup malakas nga lumanon yun b14 hehehe pero nabenta na din yun...civic nga sana ang gusto ko kaso bka hindi umabot sa budget im still looking for one na swak sa budget siyempre kelangan din ng pang maintenance...

by the way na view ko na yun corolla lovelife and here are my observations

68k+ Mileage
15" rota mags
wrap around body kits
sound set-up
family friend namin ang owner, yun misis nya ang gumagamit

1.may mga major scratches sa rear door right side sabi daw sumabit...
2.then sa hood nya may malaking sratches din at medyo mhaba at mlalim na dn
3.body kits nya sa rear bumper needs repair
4.may mga minor scratches/dents around the body

madumi at magulo ang car...hehe...the engine needs to be clean also...ksama ko si erpat when i check the car and parang may napansin siya na may leak though hindi siya sure we did not bring with us a mechanic eh...ano kaya maging problem nun if ever...and what to expect...

i think onteng ayos lang ok nman yun car...kelangan na din nman ng hilamos but if hindi pa kaya budget ok pa dn naman...

asking price is 220k we are still negotiating...with the given condition of the car what do you think guys?...magkano kaya abutin ng pagawa nun....

hope to get some suggestions and comments guys....thanks....

sir IMO, medyo aayaw ako sa corolla because of the major needs to be done. kung baga, it shows how the owner uses the car. parang drive lang then kung may sira, hayaan na lang, basta tumatakbo.

why not search around some more to see if may makuha ka better deals?

personally, sa mga sinabing obvious na kailangan gawin, 35k or more if theres a lot of damages, sa paint pa lang with the repairs. sa engine naman, kung may oil leak siguro mga 10k gastos, wala pa yung pangilalim kung meron na defects. baka may iba nang naapektohan sa engine kung hindi pinapagawa yung leak.

civic pa din ako... hehehe (shempre love your own)

civic rin ako. madami future project pag honda kinuha mo. IMO, honda 1998 VTI M/T at P235? ok na yun basta VTEC na yun ah at dapat gumagana lahat power doors, P-mirror,P-window,P-antenna at bagong wash over at walang kalampag.ok na yun.

CIvic na dude!
