    After a very long consideration of a brand new car, I decided to look for a 2nd hand car to be my "coding" car.

    Please help me choose a car at P 130k budget with the following considerations and what nots:

    Consideration
    1. Maintenance - My company covers maintenance for first car. Second is not.
    2. FC - considerably between 9-11km/L consumption
    3. Transmission - AT is preferred, but Stick is fine
    4. "Office Car-looking" - With instances of riding with a client; JDM-modified is not an option
    5. Engine - Preferred 1.6 but no more than 2.0

    TIA Tsikoteeers!

    I would not buy a second hand car that's over 10 yrs and AT. I'd go for an AE101 with that budget.

    Corolla Big body tinutukoy ni cathy.

    If coding lang concern mo? I'd rather keep my 130K.

    I'll leave early na lang (no traffic) and palipas ng coding (hopefully lesser traffic dahil past na ito ng rush hour)

    ano ba daily route mo?

    baka mas bigyan ka pa ng problema ng ageing car. sakit na sa ulo, dagdag gastos pa

    Agree with cast_no_shadow, tiis tiis or adjust adjust na lang kung coding.
    Invest ko na lang yung budget ko. Masyadong masakit na sa ulo ang 10yo na kotse lalu na kung pabaya ang mga dating may-ari. Syempre ibang usapan kung kilala mong mahusay mag-alaga ng sasakyan yung bibilhan mo pero if ever na ayos nga pagkaka-alaga, malabo din siguro na ibenta nya sa 130K lang.
    If I have special clients, mag Grabtaxi or Uber na lang ako.

    Thanks for your input, Sir!

    However, I'm also buying a house in Nuvali. I need to leave around 5:00am to reach our Makati or The Fort office around 6:00am. If I'll leave at 5:30, I'll get stuck at the Magallanes hell-of-a-traffic, and will be caught.

    That's like killing myself once a week.

    I'm an Uber and Grab user myself. They won't bring me home in Nuvali though.

    As the saying goes, the most expensive car is a cheap one.

    Kidding aside, at P130K for sure meron yang hanap mo. Baka nga higit pa sa expectation mo.
    The thing is, lucky you if you found it! =) And you will realize that only after binili mo na at nasubukan mo na.

    I would consider the buyer of my toyota big body very lucky. He must be, because at P80K only, alagang alaga yon. New battery, new tires, new evaporator, new alternator.. etc. Konting hilamos lang talaga kulang dahil walang bulok at walang major dents. Never involved in major accident. First owner din kaya alam ko history ng sasakyan.

    Considering buy and sell pa yung nakakuha non. Walang tawad tawad. Tiningnan nga lang at walang test drive test drive. Nag down agad ng P20K kay misis. So, yun pag uwi ko wala na ako nagawa... Kahit 11pm na ng gabi, binalikan at inantay talaga ako para makasigurado. Heheheh..

    I miss that car. Napapanaginipan ko nga minsan. Hehehe.

    I would not have sold that kung may paparkingan lang talaga ako...

    it was, i think, honda's intro model for this line.. "made-in-india quality" (bahala ka na sa innuendoes).
    may kakilala akong may ganyan.. nabili niya with 100K on the odo at ok pa... minor knicks only raw..
    just avoid those with major issues.

    Stay away from midsize cars with model years 2000 or older. The LTO MVUC cost is a bit high. Midsizers from 2001 onwards have lower LTO MVUC cost. You can chance upon 2001-2003 midsizers for around 150k (or lower) but primary consideration is the fuel consumption of such cars and how the previous owner cared for it. However, midsizers have better power, drives better, and more comfortable.
