2nd hand Ford Lynx still a good buy?

[reuelc]

*baiskee
sir galing na ko kagabi kay claro sa may cruven cubao. puro taga protege(mazda) yung mga nakita ko for maintenance ..suspension specialist pala sila. gusto ko sana try technology nila na inaapply sa suspension pero di pa daw pwede sakin since matigas pa daw suspension ko. di pa na solve yung weird sound sa likod mali kasi nabili parts so balik nalang ulit ako mamaya after office.

*boss niky
17" mags sya. hindi po sya sa tools. na try ko na lahat alisin yung nakalagay sa trunk pero meron pa din. I hope masolve na mamaya problem pag balik ko kay cruven.

Well all I can say despite of the minor problem... is that I'm satisfied with my ride. Ganda ng handling kahit nakalowered

[niky]

Oks... congrats again... (niiiiice mags)... hopefully it's just a bushing (common naman with lowered cars and/or cars with big mags). :D

[reuelc]

thanks niky.

galing ako sa cruven last night, pinalitan yung stabilizer link and may malaking goma na pabilog na connected din sa suspension pero di pa din na solve problem gabi na kasi kaya di na nacheck yung ibang bushings. I hope maasyos na sa susunod na balik ko.

[niky]

Condolences. Patience lang yan bro... every silver lining has a cloud. As long as the rest is okay afterwards, that's fine. It isn't uncommon to need maintenance for suspension parts if the car is lowered or has upsized wheels, so you were bound to do this anyway.

Kung naka-lowering springs yan, you might want to look at gas shocks.

pasingit lang po..magkano kaya ang rear bumper ng lynx..un surplus and brandnew?

FORD Guru's, Is it true na nahirap hanapin parts after magsara plant nila d2 sa pinas and mostlikely sa casa ka lang pwede magpagawa? I'm interested kasi to buy 2nd hand lynx and was adviced by my uncle's mechanic to go for a japanese car instead of Ford Lynx.

[Delphi2]

OT: my budget kasi ranges from 250k-280k at max and i've seen lynx that fit on it. nub lang po sa auto (magsarili).

Hope to hear inputs before i close the deal.

thanks in advance and have a great day!

Lynx/Ford Gurus/masters, with the specs mentioned above, would you think is reasonable enough assuming CPS issue has been addressed? if CPS still not replaced/addressed, how much will you buy/price the said car? To be honest, wala akong maraming alam sa car resale and especially on lynx but interested to buy lynx ghia.

For parts such as body panels, you might have to ask the plant or source it from wrecking yards in Bulacan or Banaue, the same as with any other vehicle.

But for common suspension parts, bushings, engine mounts, electronic sensors and engine parts, everything is available as brand-new, both from the dealerships and from replacement parts suppliers in Banaue. There are a whole bunch of them that sell brand new replacements on the E.Rodriguez end of the street.

I have no idea how much the bumper costs brand new. Probably 12-16k pesos, unpainted, but I'm not really sure. It's cheaper to buy surplus, since you'll have to paint it anyway.

Im planning to buy a ford lynx gsi 2000-01 model. I saw it ranges from 240 to 280 in the market. I heard this model are hard to maintain... is it true? And I also saw in one of the news that Ford will stop making Lynx in the Philippines... does this have an effect? your inputs are appreciated.

It all depends on how the owner maintains his/her car. I am an existing proud owner of a 2004 Ford Lynx Ghia A/T with 90t mileage. Its been five years and i havent had any major trouble with it except replacing the battery, which is normal for every car. I have it casa service every 5t just to ensure that everything is well. It normally costs me around 2t-3t except when km reading reaches 25t, 50t and 75t. I had to shell out around 12t for every 25t km. So it all depends on how the seller treats his/her car to really say if its a good buy or not.

Gandang umaga po sa lahat. Buhayin ko lang po itong thread. Bagong member lang po ako at bibili sa kauna-unahang pagkakaton ng used car. Napili ko ang Ford kasi sa mababang presyo nito.

Good buy po kaya ang

[SIZE=4]2003 FORD LYNX GSI * 258,000?[/SIZE]

well maintained and nothing to fix sedan. manual, cold ac, no engine leak, factory paint, orig interior, double overhead cam. no under chassis problem. thick tires. you wont waste your time looking at the vehicle. priced at reasonable level. RS body and newly registered this April.

[SIZE=4]FORD LYNX GSI 2001* 228,000?[/SIZE]

budget ko po ay 200k-230k po. Any recommendation po (other brand). magkano nalng po ba nagrerange and praice ngayon ng mga ganito? Kasi pag Toyota at Honda 1995-1997 models lang aabot pera ko. Pero worth it po ba talaga ang mga FOrd? thanks

Those are still asking prices and negotiable. You can even get a late-model Ghia within 250k pesos if you negotiate well.

I'd go for a later model Lynx, and ask for a test drive, to see if it runs okay in traffic.

Whatever you do... don't get an automatic Lynx... those suck gas like crazy.

Guys, (Sir Niky)

I just bought my friend's Lynx last month... I'm computing my fuel consumption and it's running at 1lit. : 6.5kms. He had set up a very noisy muffler which I do also intend to change. What else can you suggest to improve my fuel consumption... (It'll be a big help since I travel from manila-fort bonifacio-everyday w/ some side trips-it's a big expense on my side) I love the acceletation but I also believe it'll improve greatly as long as I get it into tip top condition again...

You may want to send SMS tru (0917) 516.33.55 or send email to: kelwin_chang*yahoo.com

Looking forward to hear from you...

[niwlek]

ooooppps, should be (0917) 516.33.55

[niky]

What kind is it? Ghia, GSi, LSi, RS? MT or AT?

And what's the average travel time between home and work, and the distance?

Have your MAF checked and cleaned... reset the ECU... and make sure your electronics are all in good shape.

Sir Niky

newbie lang me dito sa forums. gusto ko lang inquire. balak kasi namin bumili ng 2000 model ford lynx at ok naman ang test drive namin kahit traffic.

gusto ko lang malaman kung san may maganda makakuha ng piyesa?

kasi calamba laguna pa me. papalitan kasi namin yung timing belt, pressure plate, clutch, at mga oil etc. para for the long run nayung kotse.

medyo baguhan palang kasi me sa kotse.

[niky]

Pieces are available at Banawe, Fordland and Mazford carry them. But some bigger garages in the south will have a source for timing belts and clutches.

Other stuff, like oil filters, etcetera, are easily available.

Log on the http://forum.fordclubph.com, lots of south guys there, they can give you tips on good garages.

if the price is right, why not. pero if you are new to cars, try to get something not new to most mechanics. i think its better to get cars that you see more of. a 96-98 civic/corolla would be easier to maintain than a 2k lynx. wala ng lynx sa kalsada ngayon.

^i still see alot of them everywhere.
