Buying car 650K budget

[red baron]

Hi to all,

I have a decision to make this year, i am planning to buy a car my budget is 650K... i am looking for a second hand toyota altis, Honda Civic and Mitsubishi Ex or Brandnew Honda City S, Ford Fiesta and Mitsubishi Lancer Cedia.

My requirement will be:

1. Manual Trans.
2. Comfort
3. FC
4. Performance
5. Space

As this will be my first car, i will very appreciate if you could help to decided since i have limited knowledge in buying car.

Thank you in advance!

Kung ako, Vios J ang kukunin ko, never mind that its being used as a taxi at least mas marami ang parts nyan outside the casa once its out of the warranty period.

[ronw123w124]

Actually pwede na pala yung Vios E M/T sa budget ng TS.

old hyundai accent...
1. crdi diesel
2. fast, very fast
3. manual
4. very fuel efficient

though the pms might be a bit higher than a gasoline subcompact, the gains due to its fuel efficiency will prove to be more... just make sure that you take care of the turbo...

second hand Honda civic FD
-performance
-space
-Comfort
-Sarap ihatak pag manual ang transmission

sablay nga lang sa FC, city driving 6.5-9km/L
pero not bad 4/5=80% ng choice mo

Since you know little about cars, it's best to get a brand new vehicle. You'll have a worry free car for the first 3 years. I'll get a Vios.

2nd hand Hyundai Accent 1.5CRDi, Hyundai Starex GRX 2.5CRDi, Kia Carens 2.0CRDi, Ford Focus 2.0TDCi, Toyota Innova 2.5D4D or dagdag ng konti and get the Kia Carnival 2.9CRDi

Gasoline is expensive nowadays. I'd rather spend a bit more on motor oil a bit more frequently once in a while than refill my tank every week with twice or even more of the amount that I would in a diesel.

Thank you for your info...

would that have a big difference if i will buy one year old car compare to brandnew?

As to FC my requirement at least the car avg to 9-10km/Liter.

About Accent, i heard some taxi operator is having hard time maintainign their unit after one year due various problem specially ung pang-ilalim.

Mga Sir,

How about ung toyota altis model 2008-09 and Mitsubishi lancer ex 2008-09? any info po?

Since you want to have that kind of average fc, the accent, being a diesel subcompact, will likely fit in. I'm not sure about those issues (as stated by those taxi operators having problems) but all cars after some time, will eventually have problems of sort. Its how we use them and take care of them from time to time that would determine how it will last and perform

Since ginamit naman silang taxi, its understandable na mas mabilis magkaroon ng problema kesa sa private unit. Pero wala naman akong nababasa dito sa forum ng mga nagkaroon ng major problems sa accent nila

How about resale value after 5 years from now..

pansin ko nga na kalampagin ang accent taxis than older vioses used as taxis. pansin ko common ito sa hyundai..

Actually mga nagsabi sa akin sa problem ng Accent is mismo mga taxi driver eh...

maliban po sa reliability mga sir maganda ba if ever yung Resale Value ng Accent?

i'm sorry but how is a 110hp car that porbably goes 0-100kmh in 25-30 seconds fast? it's a great little car but it's not even close to being fast at all.

anyway i agree with miss cathy, the vios would be the best choice for FC, space, comfort, maintenance cost and resale value.

accent is definitely faster than say; vios,altis,fiesta,2.5d4d toyotas and the like. not sure if it can outrun an FD. would surely like to hear FD owners out there.hehe

+1 on the vios. nothing beats its value for money.

[tidus1203]

Actually the old Accent is no slouch in the acceleration department as all CRDi VGT's are...

But in all other aspects its mediocre... Reliability, safety, features, comfort all mediocre...

[red baron]

as of now my goes down to vios, altis, honda civic and accent..

sa apat ano mas maganda resale value after 5 years take note one to two year old ang altis at honda civic

Salamat sa info malaki tulong talaga

[dale323]

to TS, sayang, RESALE VALUE pala ang priority mo instead dun sa 5 category. Lancer cedia would have sufficed. With your current choices, I'll pick Vios. Be it J or E variant (though I favor the J variant since pwede ka naman magpalit ng mags. IMO, pangit ang stock mags ng E).
