I think there are Corolla Big Body models na below 150k.

The Lancer Pizza is fine but watch out for the suspension at servo problems, kung Itlog naman suspension. Parts are aplenty naman since mabenta siya and fuel efficiency is decent.

Kung Sentra I think below 150k can get you a decently equipped Super Saloon model na 1995-1999. Pwede rin EX Saloon (efi siya) pero since you mentioned na ayaw mo ng 2E Corolla, best avoid the FE model na carb siya.

So here are my options list:
1. Corolla GLi
2. Sentra Super Saloon
3. Sentra EX Saloon
4. Lancer Pizza GL (1996-1999)
5. Civic LXi
6. City
7. Lancer Pizza GLXi

sentra na series 2 yung top of the line na cypress green ba yun.

maganda rin yun. mura pa. classic na rin yun.

[Jonnart]

thanks sir myk ah i really appreciate it, ano ba yung reason behind kung bakit ambaba ng resale value ng sentra? ok naman po yung FC ng GA16DNE na makina niya? mas gusto ko kasi porma nito kesa sa corolla.. pero not sure lang sa parts and reliablility kung mas maayos sa corolla... kalamangan lang timing chain na po siya diba?

sir yung ex saloon 1.4 efi po dba, yung super saloon is 1.6efi? tapos yung fe is carb type na po diba.. ano po kaya sa tatlo ang pinakamatipid?

[jut703]

mas mukhang modern lang po yung civic and gusto ko yung interior niya.. and may somehow "exclusivity" kasi di siya ginagawang taxi dito hehe

Wag mo na isipin yang exclusivity na yan. Wala nang masososyalan sa 15 year old compact car.

Ano naman kung ginawang taxi yung AE101, most of them have been phased out or run down to a point beyond repair by taxi operators, so di na rin maraming AE101 na taxi makakasabay mo.

Masyado mataas resale value ng Civic to be a practical choice. Corolla or Sentra talaga for me. Yung matitipid mo ibili mo nalang ng 4AGE or SR20DE

Or pwede ring dagdag panggasolina..

EX saloon is efi na 1.4 the Super saloon is efi na 1.6. FE carb lang siya...

Matipid sa tatlo? I think hindi gaano malayo ang differences nila

the lower resale value is because of the perception is that sentras are inferior to the others. but many believe it's at par with the rest of the competition.
it all started in 1989, when nissan first entered the local market. the competition reportedly tried to destroy its reputation via "we bulong" movement. some say the dis-reputation was valid, because the product stunk. others say otherwise.
at any rate, some wise buyers take advantage of the situation by buying used sentras and end up enjoying everything that the competition can offer, at lower cost..

good day mga sir, college student lang po and namimili po ako sa mga ff cars para pampasok sa school.. in terms of FUEL EFFIECENCY and MAINTAINANCE AND PARTS costs po talaga priority ko kasi ako po magmamaintain ng auto.. pero una po talaga fuel efficiency from las pinas-UST po kasi ruta ko.. budget lang po is 150k pababa eh..

1. TOYOTA corolla gli 1994+ (walang problema sa parts, kamusta naman FC ng 4afe mga sir?)
2. HONDA civic LXI 96+ (non vtec, mas matipid ba yung ph15 ksa sa may vtec na? :D)
3. HONDA city 1.3

yan po yung mga pinapagpilian ko.. any suggestions po and comments sa mga cars na yan? in terms of maintainance and fuel efficency nila? feedbacks po are well appreciated, thank you!

Magandang kotse yung AE101 Corolla. 1.6GLi is fast and economical enough. Resale value us rather high though, which means you will be getting a rather old unit.

I'd skip the Civic LXi. Non-VTEC means it is inferior to the Corolla in terms of performance and entry price is also higher due to this being a newer model.

The City is very fuel efficient and agile. A good car for a student, Its just that I find the 1st gen model to look rather plain. No, make that very plain.

Might I suggest you consider the Nissan Sentra as well. Lower resale value means you can get a much newer unit for your budget. 2000 model is within reach.

Another one you may be interested in is the Ford Lynx. Like the Sentra, circa 2000 models are within reach of your budget. Personally, I like this one the most.

Remember, look for manual models only!

One wildcard pick that you can consider is the Daihatsu Feroza. Bagay na bagay sa bahain place since you've mentioned na taga USTe ka.

THE ULTIMATE USED CAR GUIDE: Used Car Review - Daihatsu Feroza (1989-1999)

Parts are not to find since kapareho siya ng Toyota, but fuel economy can be somewhat poor dahil carburetor siya.

Worth a look
