Auctions in Subic Bay Freeport

[blue_gambit]

Based on the specs you want from your car, i think you might have a hard time getting one that'll fit your given budget. Imported cars are 80% converted from RHD to LHD, and cars below $6,000 are circa 90's. meaning no airbags, most probably have different interpretation of U.S. safety regulations. I'm afraid you are on a market of high resale value cars as compared to the states and you'll have to stretch it...

The information you guys have provided here has been very helpful. I wasn't aware so many of the cars here has their steering column changed out. As I have said, it is not necessary for me to have a big automobile but I don't want a subcompact at all. Many of the brands mentioned are not in the US so I am having to check them out. One thing I am concerned about is the US is very strict with safety regulations. Many car models don't make it to the US because they can't meet those standards. The most important seems to be crush zones. Ever seen the Chinese crash test on youtube?

I was told by one of the old guys here that buying from the auctions can save me half of what is being asked for by dealers and private owners. That kind of info begs to be checked out. As I said earlier, making payments on a car is just not what I want to do anymore. I'm not working anymore and want to use my money for other things. $6,000 for a car is just not what I want to do.
