300K Budget. Need Advice in Buying A Used Car

**masterboy** · May 24th, 2006 06:45 PM

wow! nice thread just what i needed to see. Im looking for a car at around 300K din kasi.

Nways nice insights.

Just have a few questions:

1. Bakit ang mura ng Ford Lynx 2000/2001 2nd hand models? nakakaduda. Ano ba mga sakit nitong lynx? Parts mahal? mahirap makakuha? bakit ang baba ng price compared sa other year 2000+ 1.6 2nd hand models?

2. Would you go for a 2nd hand Honda City 2000 or 2001 model or a Honda Lxi/Vti 1997 or 1998 Model if they were all priced the same?

3. Ano po ba ang Main differences ng VTi at LXi ng Honda Civic? Ang alam ko lang eh un Manual and Automatic tapos mag kaiba ng Mags. hehe Sensya na. Anyone?

Salamat mo po sa sasagot ng tanong na toh mga idols!

All other factors being equal, I'd go for a 2nd hand Honda City 2000 or 2001 model.

As for Lynx prices, they carry the onus of being successors to the Mazda 323. The relative lack of casa support and subsequent collapse of Mazda in the late 90's sent 323 prices on a downward spiral that continued with the Lynx.
Despite this, while a Lynx is not Honda dependable, it's just as good as Sentras and Lancers mechanically, and parts aren't that expensive at Banaue.

The first gen City is good, mechanically, but has very little in the way of amenities for the money. If you can afford a secondhand NEW city, that's a GREAT car.

Nestor, check your PM...

Thanks sir theveed. It is not possible at this point in time because at present I am not in the Philippines. As soon as I am able to, surely I will ask information from you guys. Again, TY and more power.

ah ok thnx!

So whats the reasoning behind this? I mean with all factors being equal. Why would you go for a 2nd Hand 2000/2001 City instead of a 97/98 Civic Lxi/Vti?
Im guessing because its newer? any more reasons?

Ang alam kong nasa P300T range ay yung 1999 or 2000 Honda Civic Lxi.

you think lynx is the best choice considering my preferences..?
1. durable - would last for the next 5 years, would not have a
hard time looking for parts
2. comfortable - i'm not so much in the "porma" for the car
3. economical - need i say more
if ever i buy a lynx, what model can I get for 250-300K?
