Parang pareho nang kinalikot iyan. Wala bang stock unit?

Ok lang naman ang Audi if you have resources for parts and service.

Yung Cefiro ba eh yung "200HP sleeper"?

Anyways IMO, since na parehong luxury cars ang pinagpipilian mo, I'd go for Audi. Why? I think its more luxurious, safer(?) and mas may dating.

otep,
yap. ok naman pagkamodify coz its both from enthusiastswth knowledge
kaya hinde rin ako nag alangan. may nakita ako sa autocamp na audi.. though i dont really trust buy and sell guys eh.. kay gerald jocson pa ata.. matic though not turbo but 01 model... 730K

kikkoman,
yap.. exactly

san ba mga parts ng audi?

inisip ko kasi it will be easier now na may casa na siya

Why not get a Volvo 850 T-5R?

Around Php500k yata ang unit ngayon. Looks nerdy, but will easily blow the doors of those two. Madami pang piyesa dahil sa HABREC.

Get a station wagon version and you have enough room for a kick *ss audio system:

un parang kay wendell ba? sa habrec din namin pinapaservice un volvo940SE namin..

mas malakas engine nun sa 850 T-5R

hehehehe

i prefered audi to be different once again.. but not as problematic as my alfa romeo brought to me though its now in tiptop condition though used by my dad now. hehe

i though of the cefiro for being bank for the buck! and ofcourse the engine

Service ng Audi lang ang duda ako. If you don't have any other alternatives beside casa and the casa does not stock the part, patay ka na. Or if the casa wants to charge you like hell, wala kang alternative.

The new Audi casas are geared towards servicing the cars they sell. Not maintaining old Audis sold during their Auto Prominence years.

Unlike the Nissan (kahit sa Yen Banawe hindi ka mauubusan ng piyesa) or sa Volvo (may Habrec).

i know the are other shops din. which i am researching just right now. mga aftermarket din....

and habrec does any euro naman. i see audi's there too

Kaso Habrec does not specialize in Audis. They don't stock much parts for it (usually consumables). Break something big and you're dead.

And most aftermarket shops cater to modifying, not repairing and maintaining. Of course, if you pay them well enough they will at least try to work on the car.

Alam ko may local Audi club. Maybe they can help you.

ask your friend if he already change the timing belt on his audi.Might as well do a compression test just to make sure the engine is healthy.I will buy the audi if then engine is in good condition.The common problemt with 1.8t is the timing belt and water pump .The paint of audi is superior. all you have to do is body color the black portion of the bumpers and sides and then have it detailed to bigberts and you'll have a 2001 look.
