    Hi to all tsikot fanatics. Im planning to buy a 2nd hand car this april... My budget is from 400-550 thousand. Here are the cars na kino-consider kong bilhin...
    Civic-2001-2004 or 2005 -eagle eye na sya.
    Rav4 2nd gen- 2001-2003
    Bmw-any kind basta yung modern na yung shape,hndi yung makanto na body like nung mga i think upto 98 models.

    I need your experties,please help me dicide what to get... important sakin yung porma,reliabilty nung car,fuel consumption then power. For now sa tingin ko the best yata na mabibili ko sa pera ko is yung Rav 4. May binebenta kasi sakin na Rav4,mga nasa 430k lang,02 model tapos matic. Kaso here are some of my concern... Pag matic ba ano yung pinaka malaking risk? is it true na basta marunong at alam mo yung proper way to drive an automatic pwede mag last yung transmission nya ng pang mataglan tlga? Ilan ang fuel consumption ng matic na Rav sa city driving? But i think matatanggap ko pa kahit medyo malakas sa gas... Takot lang ako dun sa magastos emaintain. Bmw yata yun...?
    Feel free kung may masusuggest pa kayo na best car that i could get with my money.
    I would really apreciate kung mabibigyan nyo ako ng brief comparison ng mga choices ko. Lalo na dun sa mga naka experience nang mag maneho nung mga yun. Thanks in advance...

    sa mga choices, yung civic pa lang yung nasubukan ko drive. ok naman yung performance pero medyo ingat sa pangilalim ng civic es. mas madali bumigay kesa sa mga older model civics. sa budget, malaki na... ill go for a jazz or altis with that budget.

    sa a/t naman, more maintenance kailangan nito rather sa m/t (obviously). tama, basta alaga sa change atf oil, and hindi baurbal gumamit yung mayari, tatagal naman yung tranny.

    bmw? hmmm if your ready for the high cost of maintenance, ok lang naman. just be sure na ok pa condition nung bibilian. kasi kung may tama yun, madugo repairs. hehe

    rav 4? i like the rav model na yan. i think it would be a good buy basta kilala yung bibilan and may records siya ng repairs. i just dont have an idea sa FC niyan.

    Malakas ata sa gas yung RAV 4 2001-2003 model. Di ba 4WD yun?

    BMW. Medyo mahal parts. Pero kung ma afford mo why not?

    Civic. Yan medyo practical pa. Pogi points pa yan. Actually all three are pogi points.

    Most modern cars (1999 onwards) are rather easy to maintain daw unless lemon talaga nabili mo. Even A/T and CVT cars. Nasa regular maintenance lang yan. Remember regular maintainance=lowering chances of disaster and expenses! Huwag magtipid na mali lalo lalaki gastos mo.

    Since 2nd hand bibilhin mo dalhin mo sa casa ng kotse (Honda sa Quezon Ave casa ka pumunta, Toyota try mo din dun, ewan sa BMW). Pa maintenance check mo (may bayad so handa ka na lang). Pa check mo para malaman mo gastos mo (price 2nd hand + all dapat ayusin). Baka sa laki e mas gustuhin mo pa bumili na ng bago.

    Check mo din www.carbibles.com.

    do you have a separate budget for the repairs/replacements? if none, I suggest that you buy a car within 300-399K range car then allocate the remaining budget for repairs/replacements. you can even opt to customize your newly acquired vehicle if you like since you have extra cash.

    Based on your options, I would go for the Civic. BMW will just be a head ache when it comes to maintenance costs as well as replacement parts. RAV4 is ok but your problem here will be it's higher fuel consumption and expensive replacement parts.

    All cars in the options are basically four doors with a seating capacity of five people. Only the RAV4 has more cargo space.

    rav4 sa pagkakaalam ko, 2 liter engine. civic eh 1.6. bmw, anong particular model/series?

    i go for japanese cars, so down to 2 choices, civic at rav4.

    civic - maporma, matipid, kaso sa baha, talo ka na
    rav4 - maporma, malaki, kaso matakaw sa gas kasi 2 liter engine, sa baha, kayang kaya...

    eto pa, dagdag mo din yung availability and prices ng piyesa. kasi kung maganda nga ang auto, mahirap hanapan ng spare parts at maihrap i-maintain, sayang lang. kaya dyan panalo ang japanese cars eh. opinion ko lang po eto

    Hmmm... So far parang kaylangan ko na alisin sa choices ko yung bmw... Yung rav4na tinitignan ko naman kakilala ko ung may ari... may records sya sa casa... pag automatic ba kahit anong ingat sa pag gamit eventually mag kakasira din ba yung transmission nun pag tagal tagal? lets say,2002 yung auto... 2009 na ngayun... mga ilang taon pba kaya? iniisip ko naman,kung medyo malakas nga sa gas ung Rav4,tingin ko ok na din... kasi 4x4 na sya... bibigyan ka naman nya ng malaks na hatak. yung civic yata nasa 8-9km/lit din pag city driving...?
    Ano pba mga auto na pwede ko iconsider sa budget ko...?actually,dag dag lang ako konti makakabili na ako nung latest body na civic(2006) dba... kaya hndi ko masyado maconvince sarili ko na go for the civic... Cge na,share your comments pa... Tell me kung ano yung mga maganda sa Civic/Rav4.... Then ano ano yung mga disadvantages nila... Now that we're done with the FC issue... tnx tnx tnx

    If you consider the RAV4's fuel consumption as acceptable, you can probably consider other vehicles like the 2001–2006 Camry 2.0L.

    Really?mas hindi sirain yung matic? Medyo nagiging half yung mga votes nyo ah... Kung camry naman,hndi naman sya sing porma ng Rav4 or Civic... Tsaka pang matanda yung itsura nya... hmmm....may bago akong naisip e... how about SIR? Mag sing presyo sila ng civic dba... Kaso,mahirap yata makahanap na sir na virgin.... cguro yung technique is tignan ko itsura nung may ari.. kung bagets,malamang hinatw ng hinataw yung auto... sa tingin nyo,ano mas ok civic o sir? Sabi naman skin maganda din daw hatak nung civic 2001-2004 body. pero kung porma,stock ma****a na... yung civic naman,kaylangan pa imags para pumorma... plus chin pa pala... Advantage lang cguro is mas tipid ng konti sa gas yung civic...

    Although I've never owned one, I'd take out BMW in this equation. Feedback from owners, like the 316i, have been more gripe on how expensive the parts are rather than the driving experience.

    But as for rarity, a BMW would win hands down. So if you can afford the maintenance then go for one.

    My choice would be limited to the Jap models and from the choices you have here I'd get the RAV in a heartbeat simply because it is much more versatile than a car.

    if magsi-civic ka na rin lang go for the 1996-2001 Civic SIR.. ganda ng porma, ganda ng makina.. malaki pang matitipid mo..

    also if rav4 type mo, tiyagain mo na lang maghanap ng 2005 Tucson CRDI, aabot yang 550k mo if may kilala ka sa 2nd hand marketers..

    it really depends din talaga sayo e.. if 400k lang gusto kong gamitin, Matrix CRDi VGT GLS ng bibilin ko. Maaring di hanep ang porma, wala naman ng tatalo sa fuel consumption. hindin pa sacrificed ang interior space..

    if kaya kong mag-550k na hataw sa porma, no doubt Mazda 3 2.0R na, nasa 500k.. Kung wise spending naman, bang for the buck ang Civic 1.6S, may 550k nyan 2006 (again tyagaan)..

    Any of the above metioned, wala kang talo.. yan ang advantage ng may cash, makakabili ka ng 2nd hand car na GUSTO mo.

    Kaya nga,kung mag 99-00 civic ako,konti nalang 01-05 body na sana... kung 01-05 civic naman konti nalang Rav4 na... Plus mga 50k...Mazda3 na sana... dagdag pa ng konti... 2006 civic na... Pero budget ko is max 450... pwede dagdagan kung tlgang temting yung deal...

    kala ko 450 na max ng budget mo? kaya mo naman pala mag-06 civic. dun ka na sa latest model. mas malaki chance mo na konti palang problema ng kotse..

    450 budget sa car lang? paano yung repairs/replacements na kailangan gawin after 1 week kunwari? may separate budget ka ba para run? kung ako talaga ikaw, yung 99-00 civic nalang kunin ko then reserve yung extra budget for repairs replacement. pero kung may separate budget ka pa, rav4 na.

    Kung pipilitin ko mag 06 civic,mag loloan ako panigurado... Kung Rav4 naman,wala muna dapat lalabas na sakit yung auto for the next 3 months....
