Best 2nd hand for 200k max budget.

^ my guess is the same thing that happened to the order banning tilted or tinted plates and not sporting the official bolts, or even the drunk driving law.

All for show. Walang proper implementation

Since CUVs like the X-Trail have engines with 2.0L of displacement or above, they are very thirsty at the pump. Besides the X-Trail, there's also the Escape/Tribute twins. Expect gas mileage to be at 4-6km/L thereabouts. Parts cost will also be higher. Though advantages would be higher ground clearance and lots of trunk space. If you use the car in the provinces or highways a lot, I would recommend this option.

Pero sa 250k ba worth it pa sila?

Instead of an X-Trail, I'd get a 2001 gen1 CRV. Yes mas luma, but parts are abundant, mas matipid ng konti (I get 6-7 km/L with it in city driving), space is huge for such a small car, and ground clearance is great.

Depends on whether or not you are able to maximize its advantages like the aforementioned ground clearance and extra cargo space. There's also the added prestige as compared to a subcompact. Some people's work require that. But then you have to factor in that they consume around 3-5km/L more than the typical 1.3L subcompact.

Thats the one thing that pushes me away. Fc that low on gas is way above my pay grade. I might not use it at all if I push to get the advantages mentioned over sub compact.

My vote goes to lancer mx, its much quicker than vios, space much better pa, fuel consumption mas tipid ng konti si vios but not so huge difference naman.

i had a 2003 mx. i think the 2007 still used the same engine.
very comfortable interior. very spacious.
it gargled gas like 6 km/li.
and that was when traffic was still bearable.
but despite that, i still wish i had her, as she was really comfortable.

go for it, sir!
and good luck.

i find the "for sale" sign on a car that is actually being used and driven by its owner, more appealing than the used car lot princess. it suggests that the car is in good condition.

I totally agree. The price is 245k for 2006 manual j model. I havent talked to the owner yet because my mechanic is still unavailable as of now.
