2nd hand Ford Lynx still a good buy?

[niky]

Yah, the AT isn't always a problem, ika nga, like the cam position sensor, there's merely a small chance that it will act up. But best to be prepared, diba?

wow dami na pala reply... thanks guys esp to niki for that very informative tips. yes yung nakita ko gsi is mt. btw, malakas ba consumption ng lynx gsi na mt? in fact, my option is between the lynx and sentra fe or exalta 1.5. the reason is because para maiba naman and para mas mababa resell value. you have other recommendaitions? i believe mas mababa maintenance and consumption ng nissan, and nagustuhan ko lang sa ford aside sa mura is yung mga features nya.. medyo natatakol lang ako baka kasi sumakit ulo ko sa maintenance.

thanks in advance

ano po reason why not the sentra fe? maganda kasi reviews nito kaya nagustuhan ko din

exalta pwede pero wala ako makita maganda condition

honda city type z - medyo naliliitan ako
corolla - very common for me gusto ko iba naman
sentra ex saloon exalta look - pwede
sentra exalta ds - medyo mahal pa ( budget ko 280k sagad na po)
lynx - yes im very much considering it pero may doubt lang po ako sa maintenance

coz if you want to save gas the Sentra FE with its DOHC 16v 1.3L CARBURETOR is not the way to go...

head towards EFI ones....i have nothing against Sentra FE. i think its a good car.
EXSaloon Sentras are EFIs.

If you have a particular liking for the Lynx, then it's not a bad car. Maintenance is not a problem if you wont mind putting non-OEM parts like shocks or other suspension parts. And about that sensor, I'm one owner who unfortunately had that problem, and it's not 5000, it's more like 7500 pesos incl labor and diagnostics, probably, labor costs 2,500 kaya 7500 yung inabot sa kin = )

NEWAY, it's a reliable car and it's fun to drive as well. It's not that slow but as with all other 1.6s, it tends to flat-out in the open highway. Gas consumption is probably in the 7-9 kpl mixed driving. Highways, it may go up to 12 or may even push to 13 depending on your driving style.

I enjoyed owning the Lynx, but I almost sold mine a few weeks ago fearing for the high cost of parts as it's almost 5 years old. I have this notion that 5 or more y/o cars need more maintenance than a younger one - or it could only be me = ).

So, to summarize, OEM parts are expensive, but you can get good replacement parts for the same cost as other brand's. And, it's a fun car to drive. Just dont expect too much from it hehe.
