mahirap magsabi ng "low maintenance" pero although all of them madali nalang din hanapan ng parts, kung babatayan natin ung resale, malamag mag-stand-out ang corolla.

di katulad ng myth, di na totoong mahirap sa piyesa ang astina...pero sa porma, and i think cargo space, stand out ito...and its no a sedan, it may be considered as hatch?, di wagon un...for me practicality, cargo eto vote ko, pero it comes in carburated engine..when you want to get one, i suggest a manual transmission since at your budget, mahirap na makakuha ng good a/t models...malaki ang chance na may sira na ung tranny...

oh well, mura lang naman ang buong japan-surplus na performance mazda engines kaysa sa mitsu and toyota performance engines..

kung tipid hanap mo, out na ang astina..1.6L carb lang un...lancer and corolla is your best bet.sa lancer, 1 trim lang ang 1.3L: "EL", ang corolla has 2: XL: base model, i think all-manual(steering,mirrors,windows,etc..) XE:"XL" trim + tachmeter, power steering...

why not sentras? good buy naman sila..for that amount, series 2 sentras has all power, and features that a high-end car have during its time. ok, medyo mahal lang ang parts, pero not that much, halos di mo makikitan ang difference...ang myth ng nissan mostly apply sa high-end cars nila, like my MAXIMA....alam ko may 1.3L LEC sila, 1.4 ex? and 1.6 super saloon->top model.

masyado na luma ung singkit lancer, boxtype sentra/california or mits lancer gt (1.8L-carb), galant gti...pero, for me they're great cars, especially the galant gti...

tip ko manual kunin mo..madali pa sa maintenance in the long run, but medyo incovinient lang sa very-very stop-and-go traffic.

If I were you, I would go for the Toyota Corolla. There are an abundance of parts available for it and Toyota's reputation for reliability for this Corolla is quite high.

I think the 1.6 GLI or 1.3 XE have very little differences in price, so try going for the 1.6 GLI as much as possible.

The Corolla you are targetting is from 92-97. Toyota released some "limited" editions for the 1.6 GLI and XE in '94, basically you would see a golden square badge that says "LIMITED" stuck on the rear passenger doors.These models came with interior wood panelling, gold side pinstripping, gold emblems, and keyless entry, but aside from those cosmetic differences everything else are the same with the regular models. Some '95 models (1.6 only) also came with factory keyless entry and alarm system.

In 1996, they did some minor facelift by putting on new front bumper, grill, rear lights and new seating materials inside. They also released a couple of "limited" units. One came with a rear spoiler and Momo Steering wheel and another is the TRD stage 1, which had a sway bar installed inside the engine bay, high performance spark plugs and better air filter. This new facelift lasted until 1998 when they released an all new body Corolla AE101.

for me, mas okey ang corolla, matibay and madali mag hanap ng parts, series 2 na sentra is also nice, makakakuha k ng high end na model.

[chris_d]

For your budget, corolla na lang, mas makakatipid ka sa maintenance considering the age of the vehicle.

I'm with niky on his Sentra II aka B13 suggestion.

Sir....... sobrang laki ba ng difference ng fuel consumption ng astina compared to the other 2 cars


WIth regards to getting a nissan masahado ata ako ng brainwash ng mga magulang ko na mahirap nad mahal i mantain kya I guess its just a myth pro un what models would be considerable?

Tnx for the replies ü

[margaux]

I vote for the corolla as well

[finchy18]

corolla kung pwde pa sa budget mo yung 1.6 gli kuha kana! kung gipit 1.3 Xe..

[umzzzzz]

corolla kung pwde pa sa budget mo yung 1.6 gli kuha kana! kung gipit 1.3 Xe..

for me 1.6L is 1.6L, no matter who manufactures it..but mazdas are known for its high thirst for fuel, maybe because daw sa gearing ng transmisiion nito...pero its the same 1.6L, carburated..same as 89-92? corolla gl(1.6L), but 94 up glis are fuel injected and 16 valves...same as lancer singkits (89-92), except for the lancer singkit gti(dohc 1.5L) and glxi(sohc 1.6L), all badges without an "i"..



magulo?eto summary nalang:

94 astina-->1.6L carb engine, 12 valve, mt/at available all power, hatch and the cool pop-up lights...last models were equipped with neons and special paint(most likely di na gumagana mga neon and napalitan na ung paint),swak sa 140 thou or just add 10 thou more....

93-94 corolla (eto ba un ae92 or 101? o ung nauna dito ung ae92)->available in:
XL->1.3L 12 valve carb?, base model manual everything, malamang may sukli ka pa sa 140K mo...
XE->1.3L 12 valve carb?, XL trim plus tachmeter, powersteering, malamang may sukli ka din..
GLI->1.6L 16 valve efi, allpower, abs-airbags?, pero somehow wayout sa 140K budget mo..mga 20-100 thou?

may mga limited editions ang xe and gli, mas ok kung un makuha mo, sulit na din mga un...pero special versions ng gli, malayo sa 140 ang dadag-dag mo, kung meron man, maghanda ka sa repair..

ok naman ung 89-92 corollas, may sukli ka pa sigurado sa 1.6L gl corolla

93-94 mitsu lancer aka lancer itlog:
EL->1.3L sohc 8-valve? carb...manual everything..base model, malamang may sukli kang malaki-laki sa 140K mo...
GL->1.5L sohc 8 valve? carb..EL trim plus colored bumbers,mostly aestetic lang difference, power steering?alam ko may gli trim na ito, difference lang is the engine is fuel injected.
GLXi->1.6L sohc 16-valve engine..in m/t and a/t, all power, top model.

wala namang special models nilabas ang mitsu that years..alam ko lang is ung lancer singkit gti...

pag nissan, ung myth mostlikely di ma-aaply yan sa sentra line, ang dami sentra owners...
my car, a maxima, totoo un, it an executive car,e! cefiro(a31?) too..pero mga are really gas and road guzzlers, 2.0 electro-carb for the maxima, 2.4L carb and rear-wheel drive for the cefiro.bluebirds somehow also included in the myth.

for your budget or 10-40 thou more, makakakuha ka ng sentra series2 super saloon 1.6L dohc 16-valve, all power, and almost everything an local japanese executive car of that time.

basta, i recommend get a manual tranny over an auto..because of its age, di na malabong may sira na ang a/t models.. good luck, hope you'll get the best out of your budget...

[squala]

Swak ka na siguro sa XL or XE Corolla bigbody (93-97). A little more money at makakakuha ka ng GLi, which I believe is the best 1.6 before VTEC.

[vinj]

At 140K

Sentra B13 ('93-'97 1.3 LEC, '92-'95 1.4JX/EX or '91-'95 1.6SS)
Corolla AE92 1.3 or 1.6 GL

The AE101 might be pushing your budget a bit as you might not have much left for the repairs anymore.

[Autobeat]

1st choice is the Corolla, next the Lancer. Good luck in your pick.

[SupreMacy]

sa 140k, lancer na lang siguro.
mas may chance na makakuha ka pa na all power na itlog.

pero kung kaya pa naman i-extend pa ng kaunti ang pisi mo,
corolla gli ka na.

Go for what Alwayz_Yummy said he just gave you the best advice.

[alwayz_yummy]

kung di ka maarte, eto sulit na sulit (for me..coz we have one, but only in A/T)

1998 kia pride gtx 1.3L MANUAL!...more car for the buck..minus power sterring, ok na ok..mabilis, maliit, and surprisingly maluwag and good ride height.part, no prob!, mazda engine and parts nito...wag ka padala sa kia brand..kung gusto palitan mo ng ford/mazda emblems. kung gusto mo i-popower-steering theres someone who will do it in banawe for 10-12 thou...pero ok na din kahit wala...ang mumura ng parts and easily available..kahit upgrade performance parts mura din..madali din i-hanap ng mekaniko...madali din i-DIY service...no electronics na magloloko, except ung radio, lahat mechanical, pero front power windows, defogger, cool aircon(tsambahan), power pillar antenna...kasi almost every where you can find one!

ung pride namin can do 140++ kph(katakot!) on NLE(as seen sa tsikot gallery ko din)...matakaw nga lang ung sa amin kasi 3 speed-A/T..but the manual is much much triftier...interior is kinda bland for the taste of more, and some times squeaks...but i can live with it...pero at 240 thousand pesos(1998-brand new price) its a good buy!

most gtx's are personal-owned..especially a/t models.but there are still taxis to look out for...a great "sleeper" car project

but the downside, minsan napapara ako... pero kung hot foxy chick, why not?extra service pa sa kanya ..*joke*! check mo tsikot gallery ko for the pride of my mom(but i maintain and use it)

[strydent]

Bakit ba gustong gusto nyo ang 1.6L eh napakamahal nga ng gasolina? Imagine 7-8 KM/L on a 16valve, my god, ibig sabihin nun sa edsa pa lang ubos na ang4 liters mo or roughly 120 pesos...

[SupreMacy]

oo nga naman...
pang down mo na lang yang 140k para
makakuha ka ng picanto. mababa na lang
ang magiging MA mo nun. =)
