2nd hand car!

Di naman garbage ang Mazdas. A lot of the boxy Familias are still running as taxis, while the later Familias are decent cars (aside from the fuel consumption thing), and, in MT, are about as good as Lancers or Sentras of that era, sans a fender rust issue, or two (common on early 90's cars due to the shape of the rear fender).

The problem with Mazda in the 90's was that dealership and parts support were very poor, thus making maintenance a nightmare. It isn't that way, anymore. You can buy Mazda parts from many places in Banaue, and Kia Pasay, under Columbia, provides casa-level support for Mazda owners.

The clanking might just be worn bushings, not really that bad... but if you feel a tok-tok-tok in a turn, that's a worn CV Joint, and if the owner doesn't have it fixed, you should ask for a big discount or just look for another car.



That's a little unfair to Mazdas. In general, they react more easily to bumps and cambers than other cars because of the steering. Bump steer may indicate sensitivity of steering rather than any actual problem.

The rest, though... is true. An AT car shouldn't shudder if you gas it to about 1500-2000 rpm against the brake (torque converter lockup should only happen over 2500-3000 rpm)... also check if it gets unnaturally hot in traffic.

BAKIT KA PA HIHINGI NG MALAKING DISCOUNT AY SIRA NGA ANG KOTSE NA BINIBILI MO, PAGAWA NA LNG MUNA NG MAY ARI D BA AND SAKA NA LNG ULI KAYO MAG-USAP, KALOKOHAN NA PAYUHAN MO NG "ASK FOR BIG DISCOUNT". KUNG MATINO KA TALAGA AT HINDI KA FROM MENTAL HOSPITAL HINDI KA NAMAN BIBILI NG BULOK NA PAGKAIN SA PALENGKE

Bwahahaha... nakakahilo talaga ang mga posts mo, 'tol. Mental Hospital? Hmmm... nag-duty din naman ako dati sa Ward 7 sa PGH... so medyo may alam ako sa mga nasisiraan ng bait. :hysterical:

Bulok na pagkain sa palengke? Depende. Ano ang pinakabulok na tsikot na alam mo? Say, 1970's na Ford Escort. Bibilhin mo ng 3,000 to 5,000 pesos, halos kalawang at gulong lang ang natitira (puwede nga libre pa...). I-restore mo for about 150,000 pesos... kalokohan, di ba? Pero puwede mong i-carshow, at makita ng collector, or ilagay mo sa E-Bay at makikita ng mga taga-US o UK. Ang likely na selling price mo, maybe 350,000 - 500,000 pesos. Not bad, di ba? (galing ito sa Ford Escort Club... grabeng taas ng bidding prices ng mga Kano sa mga restored rides nila... nauubusan nga daw sila dahil nabebenta ang mga tsikot nila at pinapadala sa US)

Hindi naman ganoong ka-spectacular pag Mazda 323... pero... bili ka ng 323 na maraming problema... baratin mo yung seller... say... 90,000 (maraming sira, kasi...)... i-repair mo for 25,000. Ibenta mo nang 150,000... Good deal? Dito kumikita ang mga "Buy and Sell"... buy low, repair, sell high.

Dito ka rin puwedeng mag-save kung buyer ka... kung may problema, estimate mo yung repairs... ibawas mo sa price ng vehicle... tapos bawas ka pa, dahil mahihirapan ka siyempre mag-ayos, di ba? So, kung 170,000 yung asking sa 323, kung may CV Joint problem, pabawas ng 10,000... manipis yung tires? pabawas ng 15,000... etcetera, etcetera, etcetera...

Gets? Kung ayaw pumayag ng may-ari... eh di... forget it...

ESIs were like here ages na. Lugi. I suggest you get a Sentra. We own a Sentra na 10 yrs na, M/T though. If you want a 2nd hand, better go with a Toyota / Mitsubishi / Nissan. Mazdas during the 90s are trash lang from Japan. Parang scrap metal. Unlike the looks ng Toyota, Mitsubishi and Nissan sa 90s. M/T ka muna before shifting to A/T. Mas maganda lahat ng transmission alam mo. What if in the future na you decided to buy a car using the Tiptronic technology. Or ung StepTronic ng Porsche (don't know how it works).

Parang school lang, Nursery muna before Kinder =) Then silip na sa mga teachers hahahahahaha!

2years ago, i happen to drive a 1995 Mazda 626 AT, ironically sir, it consumes about 6-7km/l which is just average in the era where Variable Valve Timing engines are not yet in the boom. i happen to just have a simple 2.0liter EFI engine. i didnt think that it was a junk. also, my matic had this strong shift shock going from 1st to second gear but i think its normal Mazda flaw back then. but bias aside, the tranny never gave me any problems. downshifts fast and i love the HOLD feature of 90s Mazda ATs.

dunno how crappy is the 323 Familia's tranny is compared to the 626 AT though.

Mazdas r good cars pa din naman lalo na new ones, I have a friend hu owns a semi tuned mazda familia na lagi akong kinakarera ok pa din naman, paleng nga lang steering wheel, we've gone to many goodyear servitek shops, naaayos pro after 5 months.. paleng nanaman. Pro if u want to be sure of the quality lalo na 90s pa yan, try looking into the "big 3" jap automaker brands- toyota, nissan , honda.. (rollas, sen, civic). Mitsu lancer also quality wise hanep.
ha ha!! o nga pala funny kayo niky n' take1bar... cool down mga pre let's not act like a bunch of teenagers..
