90's Mid Sized Sedan - Feedback for Coding Car

[Egan101]

Sir egan, would you happen to know what the difference between the MVUC is? Based on what I remember from ClubCorona, 95 and below models were around 3k while for 96 models and up were around 6k.

Looking at 2001 models and up on olx, asking prices range from 180k up. Now considering MVUC difference is let's say 3k, that's 15k already if I plan to keep the car for at least 5 years. That already offsets the higher asking price for the slightly newer car a bit.

Midsize model cars from 96-98 have an MVUC of 4800 while 99-00 are charged 6000. This does not include all the other fees that LTO charges and the cost of CTPL. Starting 2001, the MVUC is 3600 for all cars tagged under the medium category. The two most recent Altis generations are already classified under medium, as well as the TOTL models of current compact cars. With my 6th gen Accord (model year 2001), my annual cost of registration plus CTPL is around 5500.

I'd still recommend the Accord over the Cefiro. Too many friends have had faulty Cefiros, but noone with a wonky 6th gen Accord.

Drives like a dream too especially once you're past 5,000 rpm. The 2.3 only does about 4-5 km/L, but it brings a lot of smiles despite its age.

The newer A32s (00-02) had a lot of electronic gadgets and they get worn out over the years. The older gadget tech will become useless for the used car buyer. However, a base model with less electronics was released during that time which is a better alternative to the Brougham models which are filled with a lot of creature comforts but old and maybe non-functioning electronic gadgets already.

My old 6th gen Accord VTi-L (F23, 2.3L AT) was fun to drive. Get the VTEC up at 3500 rpm and 5000 rpm and you'll be smiling how it just goes. It was light for its size and it had good natural grip. The double wishbone front & rear suspension adds more to its handling capabilities. Braking is good also. I was able to get around 5-6 km/L running on 95RON fuel with 225/45/R17 tires on my Sucat-Makati-BGC daily route. 91RON or 93RON is good for city driving but lacks oomph on the highway.
