February 13th, 2006 11:52 PM #1Guys, im planning to buy a car (newbie here), which is better a 1996 1.6 Nissan sentra super saloon (all power) with 102 thou Km (priced at 176K) or a 1994 1.3 Toyota Corolla XL (powerless) (priced at 132K)..
Which is more maintenance prone between the two?
OK lang po ba ang automatic kahit 10 years old n ang car?
Thanks guys..

ok naman, if and only if maalaga ung 1st owner...otherwise, get a manual.
the more accessories, the more to maintain...in short a basic model will just need basic maintenance...
but hey, di naman sabay-sabay masira ang piyesa...and masmaraming creature comforts...un nga lang, madaming pwedeng masira and all-power/top-of-the-line model compared to a base model...

Not all 1.6 cars get 7 km/liter. Some can do 8-9, depending on the car model and condition. The more efficient ones are Corollas, VTEC Civics and Lancers. Your driving style also plays a major factor.
At 176K, you can already get a 94 Corolla GLi. It may be 2 years older than the Sentra, but for me, it's the better car.

BTW... at over 100,000 km each, both cars are pretty well used... my advice is to get the one that is in better condition mechanically. Di lang basta't Corolla okay na, as I've seen quite a few 93-95's with blown engines due to improper use.
I'd suggest bringing a mechanically inclined friend (or better yet, a mechanic) to evaluate each car first.
Another factor... the 1.6 Super Saloon is EFI, while the 1.3 XL is carburated. A good condition 1.6 EFI will have similar consumption to a poor condition carburated car.
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
agree ako syo. battery dying will be the next owner's problem. kaso the only reason I'm buying...
