Brand New or Second Hand Car

[jcal68]

Issue po kasi sa belt is yun accident na maputol ito ahead of replacement period and it does happen po. When it does happen malaking gastos yan. Unlike sa chain wala ganyan problema sir. My old sentra 98 lec d pa po nagpalit timing chain till now. Even yun other sentra po na co.car ko almost 350k odo d pa rin po napalitan yun chain sir. Looks is subjective kasi sir. Yun reliability nang chain is way better than belts po talaga.

Agree ako na although mas maingay ang timing chain, talagang mas matibay naman.

However, the civic lxi is not listed as an interference engine hence hindi tutukod kung maputol ang belt. Paki check na lang difference ng interference at non-interference engines. Misconception kasi ito. Often pa nga na mas malaki ang sira kapag chain ang maputol. Either way, I suggest na check/palitan agad kapag 2nd hand na mataas na odo reading.

Agree din ako na subjective ang looks. I use to have a Nissan California pero I still like the looks of the civic lxi which I never had (but my sister did). For me lang, mas sporty ang dating ng lxi.

Mahalaga sa family car ang space. I would consider the likes of the Avanza, Innova and Crosswind.

Thank you sir Skyflakes88 and Sir jcal68 for the inputs!

actually sir, gusto ko din talaga ng Civic Lxi. problem ko lang is yung budget. compare to this roster of cars, Civic talaga ang mahal kahit 2nd hand. advantage din naman sya if you're planning to sell your Civic in the near future due to its high resale value. Ang hirap lang kumuha, yung 1996-2000 model still ranges from 200k up. 2nd choice ko na siguro yung Bigbody GLI.

Mga Sir. Newbie here. Planning to buy a car soon. Next year po siguro. Budget ko po sana mga 250-350k. I've always dreamed of owning a sports car pero tingin ko hindi kakayanin kapag inuwi ko sa province (Manila-Tuguegarao).

Eto po yung mga pinagpipilian ko pa. ELANTRA
CIVIC fd
ACCENT hatch
Chevy CRUZE

Or kung advisable man po ang Genesis Coupe why not. Budget ko lang po for Genesis coupe is 700k if ever po. Kahit 2009-2010 lang po kung kaya. Hehe! Salamat po ng marami. [emoji16] btw i'm 20 y/o na [emoji5]️

Kung may budget at di masyado mahilig magkalikot, I would suggest brand new na lang kunin mo.

Kung katulad ko naman na medyo limitado ang budget pero willing magkalas/magbuo at magkagrasa ang kamay then pwede ang 2nd hand. I believe marami pa rin namang oto na kahit 2nd hand, almost brand new pa rin ang condtion at sasakyan na lang talaga. Yung una kong kotse ay Honda City 1st Gen at napaka-reliable kahit 3yrs old ko na sya nang makuha.

I recently bought a B13 ECCS sa presyong motorsiklo. May mga naayos at kasalukuyang inaayos ako sa kanya pero running condition naman. Di na ganun kaperfect mga panels given its age pero at least walang kalampag at malamig ang aircon. Kaya pa naman mag-cruise ng 100kph sa Startoll. So far, wala pa akong major na gastos pero medyo marami na din akong nauubos na oras kababasa ng mga FSM ng GA16DE.

Thank you Sir 1D4LV. Wala po pala akong masyadong kaalaman pagdating sa oto kaya kung pwede sana yung car na minimal lang po yung maintenance. Sir pahabol po, advisable po bumili agad ng Sports car considering its your first car?

not a good idea buying sport car considering you will travel nearly 450km from mla to tuguegarao, road conditions are terrible in some town/city. suggest buy 2nd hand SUV or instead brand new subcompact car for peace of mind. goodluck

Tingin ko pasok sa budget mo yung Toyota Yaris. Yung honda jazz 1st gen kasi medyo may problema yung mga automatic nila, mas reliable yata yung a/t ng Yaris. Kung gusto mo diesel hatch mayroon din Hyundai Matrix CRDI.

Wen garud Sir. Hehe nagalas ti dalan agpadituy. Gusto ko din sana Montero kaso medyo madami akong kapareho. Hehe Fortuner pwede pa. Salamat po Sir. Budget ko lang po sana hindi tataas ng 700k. [emoji52]

I'll go for a not so old 2nd hand car. There's a big significant drop with the value of the car after several years. Not unless you're driving a Land Cruiser. lol

[leolop]

I've acquired the following second hand cars:

2006 - 02 Kia Carnival 44K odo at P360K, repo from a bank
2014 - 05 Kia Sorento 78K odo at P315K, repo by a financing company
2015 - 08 Hyundai I10 30k odo at P215K direct from owner who advertised on OLX.

I kept targeting Korean cars after our good experience with the Carnival and because of their lower resale value. There are always risks when purchasing a second hand car, and immediate additional costs such as change fluids, battery, detailing. However, with the savings vs. a brand new car, you have more than enough resources to handle these plus any eventual repairs that you must factor in because they are older cars.

A quick read of the threads show brand new buyers have very high expectations on their vehicles and are greatly disappointed when they are not met. When any of our cars have problems, I source parts outside the casa and bring them to our trusted mechanic for repair. I still have great satisfaction thinking I have three decent vehicles for the price of one brand new car.

Sub-compact ka nalang. Try Ford Fiesta
