Need some advise? Customized my old car or buy a 2nd handcar?

[ondahudz]

I have 1982 lancer GT box type model pamana lang from my grandfather, sabi sakin nung mekaniko pinag canvasan ko I need around 20T-30T para mapaganda yung car. I thinking to sell it para pan dagdag to buy for 2nd hand car.

[mazdamazda]

well... it depends on the condition of the car... can you post some pictures of the interior/exterior?

[flakez]

it depends kung gusto mo ung kotse. pag hindi mo trip benta mo na lang.

[ondahudz]

condition of interior - ayaw na umilaw yung light sa loob kahit palitan ng bulb, yung leather seat nya mukha ng luma na, yung pinto cra na yung lock minsan makukulong ka na lang sa loob dahil na stock na yung lock, pinapasukan na ng tubig yung loob pero ginawan ko na lang ng paraan nilagyan ko ng silicon seal yung wind sheild. Ok pa naman yung carpet. Aircon bago lang yung compressor sedan original kaya mejo malamig kapag gabi pero kapag tirik na yung araw kaht todo nde na kaya ng aircon yung init.

condition of exterior - yung baba kalawang na kaya kailangan daw pa under coating, pero ok pa naman yung pintura may mga bula nga ng kalawang pero natatakpan pa rin ng paint makinis pa naman, kailangan na rin palitan yung solex na lock kasi nde daw maganda yun.

sabi sakin nung gagawa mga 12T daw yung body paint job tapos libre na yung pagkabit ng central lock at kung anu pa daw ang ipapakabit kong parts.

I need kasi ng economical car Bulacan-Makati/manila-bulacan kasi mahal na bayad sa NLEX tapos mahal na rin ang gas. My budget is 120T

sabi nila matipid daw yung engine ng box type pero drive ko parang malakas ang fuel consumption kapag nagpapagas ako ng 100php kaya nyang ubusin ng bulacan-valenzuela-bulacan.

kapag bumili naman ako ng 2nd hand iniisip ko ipapagawa ko rin yun kaya lalaki lalo ang gastos ko.

Well, average price for a Box-Type is around 30-50k... you'd be lucky to get 30k for it if there's a lot to fix... The gives you a total budget of 150k, maybe... but cars at 150k often need another 20-50k of work on them (unless you get lucky).

30k to bring a 25k car up to 50k condition ain't bad. Use it for a little while, and if you can't get good mileage from it even after cleaning and re-conditioning the carb, then just wait a while and save up some more before buying a newer vehicle. Because you'll definitely need more money than 150k for a newer more reliable car. At least 200k to be sure.

A 200k car will be relatively reliable... or you could get a 150k car and set aside the 50k for contingencies.

How far is valenzuela-bulacan-valenzuela? 100p sounds just right.... halos 2.3 liters lang yun.

Sell it when you can't use it anymore. As it is, in the condition it's in now, sacrifice sale lang yun... baka baratin ka pa ng 10k nalang.

1982 lancer car? kung gagawin mo classic puede siguro, pero kung pang-araw-araw mo hindi advisable tingin ko. baka araw-araw ka din parahin ng mga pulis to check what's under the hood, particularly yun aircon requirement ngaun.

I find it odd that a lot of shops are still selling Lancer Boxtype replacement door panels even though the vehicle has been off the market for such a long time. hehehe.

I see those too... mga door panels, fenders, etc.

If you can spare around 100K extra on top of selling the car then i'd sell and get 1990 or so Corolla 1.3L (or 1993 Sentra 1.3L).

[niky]

Hehe... oonga, no... pero as it stands, ganoon pa rin... lalabas na sacrifice sale nalang. For me, fix it up... use it for the meantime, and save up some more for the next car. Sell it only if you don't need it any more, because the small amount you get from the sale can just as easily be saved up in a couple of months.

[Flagg]

Ano makina nyan? A Lancer GT dapat 2.0 diba?

[the_wildthing]

Kung kailangan mo ng pang araw-araw, get a second car then gawin mong project car yan kung gusto mo.

[oliver1013]

tumiming ka ng maayos na 90-91 corolla mga 110k pa siguro yun kuha ka xl o xe para mas matipid. Gastusan mo mga 30k palo ka ng 140k to 150k sakto!! Mas mura pa siguro kung sentra na maayos yung series 2 man lang.

[seonadancing]

May nakikita pa akong Lancer na box type na maganda. Kung ako papaayos ko na lang.

[NazQ]

i'd go for a reliable 2nd hand car pag un lang yung kotse mo. pag project car ok pa siguro yung box type mo.. pwede mo din try i fix yung mga major problems para tumaas yung resale value to add to your budget..

[alwayz_yummy]

this may be out, pero kung gusto matipid, good kun makakakuha ka ng good condition sentra diesel...

ung renter ko dito, shelled out 60 thou for his 89 sentra diesel, good condition, pero may mga arm rest na wala na,e.. pero over-all kumpleto pa, even meron na ding righ side mirror (noong nilabas ito noon, walang right side mirror!)

pero if you want a newer car, kia pride or daihatsu charade ka...ingatz lang sa pagpili, daming ex-taxis na ganito....pero doesnt mean na pangit siya, ok din...mga 60 thou, may aayusin ka pa, mga 90 thou pataas, maaring konti or wala na for the next 1 year..

3-cylinder 1.0L ang charade, 1.1L 4-cylinder ang pride, sentra diesel, 1.7L...


mga good condition na box type na senta or california pasok din, mas lalo na ung mga all-power 1.6L carb...may budget ka pa for future repair..maxima/a31 cefiro, i dont recomend lalo na kung limited repair and fuel budget mo...i know, may maxima ako.....

corolla, ung mga skd na 1.3L 5-speed na small body medyo mahal pa...baka mawalan ka ng provision for repair...

gamitin mo muna sasakyan mo din, repair mo lang ung mahahalaga, ung takbo ng makina, etc, ung body, kahit wag muna, basta good runing condition, pwede na, basta wag ka lalagpas sa selling price ng sasakyan para di ka lugi....tapos sell mo, ung makukuha mo sa lancer mo un ang pandagdag mo...pero for me, sulit sa price ang used nissan, wag ka padala sa low-resale, it doesent mean na pangit ung sasakyan...

or ganito, for me, pogi din naman yang box-type, old-school, rwd car! pag aayusin mo yan, bili ka ng doors, fenders lalo na kung heavily rusted na... ung lights, madami-dami ka makukuha sa surplusan..kung mattripan mo, mai-sesetup mo yan ng ala-evo-0(zero)

[basti08]

if you dont have extra budget... i see no reason not to be practical and just ditch the car for a decent, more newer though still 2nd hand car.

but if you can shell out to buy another car with selling the boxtype mas OK parin naman... tapos dahan dahan mong i-modify to look like a JDM Lancer GSR.
nice alternative car narin yun in the long run.

Medyo magastos nga papaayos mo lahat.

Dalhin mo kaya sa MTV isali mo sa "PIMP MY RIDE".
