Just want to ask some advice about buying a second hand car. I want a 2nd hand honda civil model 96 up M/T. But I can only have max of 200K for that car. Is it realistic for me to dream of that car with that budget? I mean, can I have that car with that budget?
Hope you would help me on this one coz I really want to have a car. I would be my first time if ever.
VTi not xli. yes malaki difference ng engine in-terms of power and efficiency. you can probably get a 96 VTi for that price but would end up spending a few more thousand pesos for repairs. Offhand some of the items you might need to replace are tires, shock absorbers, balljoints, trailing arm bushings, rack-end, brake pads, timing belt, engine support. These are the parts that most 96-98 civic need to be replace off after 10 years. If you are to change all of these you will probably spend about 20 to 30 thousand pesos.
Aside from these mechanical parts, 96-97 civics will usually have fading paint in the hood already.
