[oliver1013]

Sentra ECCS

question ulit.. bat ang baba ng resale value ng nissans?

[oliver1013]

Ganun talaga yun dati kasi may image yung Nissan na kalampagin, yung sina unang mga box type nila. Pero kahit nag improve na yun parin ang perception. I consider it a blessing to 2nd buyers.

thanks ulit sir.. so now torn between a sentra or a civic ef (ano difference nito sa eg?)

[Battlestar]

question ulit.. bat ang baba ng resale value ng nissans?

Medyo nasira kase sila nung late 90's sir. Diba nga nauso pa yung joke noon na:

"Nissan takbo, Nissan hinde" :D

[ParticleX]

wow, dami kong natutunan. salamat sa lahat! dami talagang helpful chaps dito sa tsikot. update ko na lang pag nakakuha na ako.. well medyo matagal pa before my bday hehe. :D

[dioncute17]

ganyan din ako dati, madame rin ako tinignan na mga ibat-ibang cars bago pa man ako mag college,

lahat ng makita kong mga cars na for sale gusto ko na agad bilhin nun, (super xcited kase ako nun) buti na lang madameng kumokontra sakin, hangang ngaun malaki pa rin pasasalamat ko sa kanila, hehe, dahil kundi nasayang lang pera ko,

kaya after a long2 time, nakabili na rin ako ng dream car ko, tnx to my dad.

Lancer 2001 glx 1.5 carb engine ang nabili ko, super sariwa (45km palang ung odo nya)at maingat din ung previous owner, hehe

maglancer ka nalang din sir

too expensive IMO. Kung bibili ka, better stock.

Kaya nga sabi ko about the EG na work in progress yan. You could buy the unit but may repairs. I've been looking around for an EG before and surprisingly, there are some that sell at 140-150K pure stock. Maghahanap ka nga lang.

I would say nga Sentra is a good car for you. You could even buy an LEC PS 1998 or less in very very good condition.

how 'bout the FC of the sentras? any "sakit" take worth looking at?

[renzo_d10]

Forget the Civic EF. It's old and parts are rare ( Ithink? )

Opt for the EG or yet, the EK ( 200k++ )

unless i state ni erpats yung budget, i can't go over with the "optimist 150k".

[aejhayl17]

nagdaan din ako diyan sa "first year and first car"

eto mga tips or suggestion ko bro based from my experience.

1.) go with the best fuel consumption. mas matipid sa gas mas marame kang mapupuntahan, mas marame money sa wallet. trust me been there and still there. suggestion ko, 1st gen vios or 9th gen altis? since na "optimistic 150k" ang budget mu, pwede naman maging "vissionary 250k-300k".

why vios or 9th gen altis?

better FC, not that old, torquey at low rpm range which is good for heavy traffic at the metro,

2.) wag ka na mag suv kung budget ka sa fuel expense. in my case, my first vehicle was a 2003 escape. nak ng p..... 500 ko na pang gas two days lang. im from malabon and sa feu ako nagstudy before (27-40km a day why? may kasama pang gala). araw araw heavy traffic. diyos ko po! i remember those lunch-less days para lang may pang gas. wala nang natira pang gimik.

pero kung afford mu, then go.


3.) avoid hauling people kung naka kotse ka.an average sedan seats 5 peeps, not 7-11 people. yes, 11 people. ive done it once with an average of 5'7, 150lbs blockmates of mine. nagsisisisi ako till now.

eto opinion ko lang to ah, kung gagawin ka lang service ng blockmates mu, naku, wag ka na magkotse. ubos pera mo sa pang gas. kahit napakatipid ng kukunin mo. kaya ako nagkuripot na ko magpasakay kase di naman nila ako pinaggagasan.


unless na lang na type na type mu yung sasakay sa auto mo, wag mu na papababain kahit kailan.

yup, money matters. always. dame pa sana ko ishare sayo sir. nahiya na ko.

feel free to question my post.

my two cents

[tidus1203]

I would have said that myself aejhay...

[beni23]

my first car in my first year of college is a pick up and I can relate sa mga sinasabi mo sir. hehe. nung dati nagpapahuli pa ako sa school kunwari may gagawin ako sa library para lang di sumabay ang mga blockmates ko. and thank God buhay pa naman ang aking first car hanggang ngayon, 4th year na ako ngayon. hehe.

my two cents

1. medyo tight chief.. sabay kasi kami college ni brad ngayon. saka wala pang budget na binibigay, so i settled for a "modest" 150k.

2. sa gas.. well ok lang since may gas slips si erpats for being in the afp, no problemo :fire:

3. sa 'school bus' thingy, yung pasasakayin ko lang eh yung mga kapit-bahay ko.. since sa south super hway yung college ko medyo mahirap transpo.. sabi nila they'd share the load on gasoline expenses.

thanks sa insights and experiences. more pa! hehehe. para iwas-sakit ng ulo na din sakin

Suwerte mo kid, nakakainggit ka. Wala ka pa sa college, may car na nag-hihintay sa iyo. When I was in college at UST- Engineering, Cadillac-kad service namin. Di ako makaporma sa mga pretty girls in our school. Kaya study to death ako until I graduated and landed a job. The time nagkakotse ako was after getting a nice job in which I earned well. Regarding fuel consumption of Sentra's, they normally average 8-10 kms/ liter on city driving. My previous experience on Sentra 1.6 ECCS was normally 10 kms/ liter city driving with aircon on, on highway was 12-14 kms/ liter at an average speed of 80-110 km/hour. The usual problem of Sentras is the underchassis (rack end, tie rod), transmission (5th gear slipping), and alternator. With your budget of P150T, try to look for 1996 Nissan Sentra Series 3, 1.6L, manual transmission, preferably below 100T mileage. In your case, suggest to allot a budget for regular maintenance monthly when buying second hand cars. Final advice, study well and seriously so you could earn a college degree. Saka na muna mga barkadas, chikas. Gastos lang mga yan.
