Kung 120-140k budget mo. I suggest na Toyota 1993-1997 Corolla bigbody. yung GLi variant na. All power amenities na yan. Marami pang piyesa. Surplus or brandnew. Hindi ka mahihirapan maghanap. 4afe engine para EFi na. Mas tipid yan kumpara sa 1.3L na 2e carb.
Usual na sakit - tagas sa power steering. Pero madali naman paayos yan. Saka resale value, hindi ganon kabilis bumaba. Hanap ka lang ng sariwa at kumpleto.

My friend got a GSR, according to him mahirap daw maghanap ng piyesa kapag nasisira so binenta nya na lang.

Di po sir i ffinance hehe nabanggit ko lang dahil kaakibat un ng mga used car dealer. Salamat po sa input sa gsr. Malaking tulong ito. So ganun din po kaya ung lancer pizza? Same lang kasi halos ng gsr except doors.

Yan po ba sir ung kamukha ng b14? Medyo naguguluhan ako sa sentra andami kasi. Yung esi sayang mukhang reliable kaso bubbles nga lang. Pag po ba nahilamos na ung oto or changed color e naaddress na kaya nila un bubbles or bulutong nun pinapalitan ng kulay?

Salamat sir sa mga sagot. December or january pa naman ito, gusto ko lang magkaroob ng idea at maayos ang makukuhang kotse kahit papaano may mapuntahan ung gagastusin.

Mag Corolla ka na lang.

manual transmission needs far less maintenance than AT.. they also give better fuel mileage..
late 90s sentra with eccs (para electronic fuel injection na; less maintenance problems).
or late 90s corolla gli (electronic fuel injection rin).
and unless you have a brother for a latero't pintor, don't get car with bulutong. the kalawang is probably thru and thru already, or soon to be..

the sentra and corolla still have parts a-plenty, and they are relatively easy to maintain.
i used to own a sentra series 3 for 14 years.. nice car..

lancer? well.. they say the lancer suspension is marupok.. but the parts are also cheaper daw.. heh heh.

and stay away from engines bigger than 1600 cc.. generally, they are matakaw sa gas...

i don't know why that honda is there.. but i like the bugeye civic more..

In my opinion... Get the esi. Very reliable engine and parts are easy.

Thanks sir for the input! If mitsu, what would you suggest sir? For my budget? Civic would be nice but i think id fall on esi on my price range though.

Meron na po ba ito sa mga tabi tabing shops? Unless major parts. Salamat sir!

Mga sir ask ko ulit, if nachange color na or nahilamusan ba ung terms e naaddress na kaya ung bulutong nun from stock paint?

Honda is honda. You get what you pay for. Kung porma at porma, meron.
Kung lakas ng makina, meron. Piyesa? Medyo mahirap na sagutin yan kasi ilan2 nalang ang mga mid to late 90s honda ang nakikita mo. If you really fancy a honda, here's a tip... yng pang ilalim ng 96-99 models (civic) share the same parts as the pizza pie lancer. So maintenance would be cheaper.

IMHO, get a big body corolla na EFI na MANUAL transmission. Mas madaling i maintain yan unlike yung matic. Or kung kaya pa, yng corolla lovelife na 1.3. From what I know, that was the first 1.3 engine to offer EFI.
