get a corolla GLi big body or lovelife(160k atleast?). its efi, maintenance wise, all power and very fuel efficient. keep it stock. mags and sounds are enough. thus porma does not make you faster than everybody else. estudyante ka diba? pinagdaanan ko yan.

get a clean and unequipped one, kaw na lang magset-up para alam mo

trust me, im also a student, still

welcome sa tsikot

thanks sa advice bro.. 120k lang kasi budget bro e.. iam not after speed or power gagawin ko lang kasing service pamasok.. simple lang gusto ko.. hmmm black tas simpleng mags.. stock lang exterior tapos ung interior dun ko balak pagandahin.. so sana 100k sa auto.. 20k sa upholstery ng interior at disenteng sound system or repair sa minor problems.. so advice naman guys

[likot]

Get the Corolla tama sila Gli hanapin mo. Wag kang mag Galant ga-ihi yata ang consume ng gasolina nito uhaw na uhaw lagi.

As much as possible mas maganda kung all stock mahanap mo. Pero parang kulang ang 120K dagdag ka pa ng konti pero since yun ang budget mo maghanap hanap ka rin baka maka tiyempo ka.

Ganyan na ganyan ako wayback 2005 rush ako naghanap ng car na second hand ( corolla bigbody XE GLi, lancer itlog, pizza, singkit) para habol sa graduation pero ang nangyari pinangdown na lang namin yung 100k sa Adventure at ito pa rin gamit ko up to now. Ma maintenance ang old car kaya after getting the 120K car magready kana ng pang maintenance like change all fluids oil filter, fuel filter.... also change all the belts, kasama na timing belt set at waterpump.

I would go for the 90's corolla GL. I had one way back then, a very reliable car. Timeless ang porma (IMO). Clear tints lang and a nice set of 15's would do. Sakto yan sa budget mo na 100k. I suggest naman na yung 20k na sobra para pagpapagawa ng mga slight mechanical defects instead of upholstery or setting up the sound system. It's better to drive a worry free car than a aesthetically good looking car that rattles or bugs down every now and then.

or increase your budget furthermore, and get a 9th gen altis which is younger than the previous gens. though there are sludging issues on the 1.6 engine.

just prepare a more or less 50k for repairs and maintenance of whatever car you're getting.

[speed unlimited]

Kung student at purpose mo pamasok , matipid sa gasolina , reliable , mura piyesa at madaling gawin ayos na iyong toyota na GL para sa iyo o Big body . Pang harabas kaya nga ginagawang taxi dahil matibay makina ng 2E.

[renzo_d10]

Ano ba guys, 120K nga lang daw eh including repairs.

*TS : I`d get the Corolla AE92 XE. It`ll be appropriate for you, as a student. But it being 2 decade old already, I guess you have to put your porma plans aside first because I tell you 20K may be or may not be enough for repairs ONLY.

Basically, that's it. Unless you want to opt for smaller ones such as Fiat Uno's, Kia Prides which is definitely cheaper but still can be full of repairs. ;)

[aejhayl17]

* TS tignan mo yung big body ni renzo! haha baka ibenta niya sayo.

*renzo gli ba yung bigbody mo? anu na nga pala balita? suggest ka naman kay TS ng mods sa bigbody hehehe

[renzo_d10]

Di ko yun ibebenta ( sana ) . Palitan ko pa ng engine yun, 3SGE nalang siguro or 4EFTE. Selan masyado ng 4AGE eh ... pero, ewan ko. :bwahaha:

Tol, limited lang ba sa 1.6 engine ang sludghing issues or more common lang siya kaysa doon sa 1.8 engine?

imho, any engine is prone of sludging. its just that the 3zzfe is designed to have an oil change every 5k km. some users dont follow the pms. this is the clear resolution of the toyota motors why there was no recall regarding the sludging.

as to your question, yup, mas laganap sa 1.6L kesa sa 1.8L considering that there are more(way more) 1.6 (3zzfe) corolla(US)/altis(Phil) than the 1.8L

[Horsepower]

Since you're still a student, bili ka ng Corolla AE92. It's a very nice classic car if you maintain its clean looks. Should be cheap mga 70-90K lang siguro. Yung matitira, reserve it for the maintenance expenses.

OT:
Pasensya na sa mga tanong ko tol, ikaw yata ang expert dito.

1st question:
Ang sludging ba ay 90-100% na eeliminate kapag nag change oil ka? For example when I checked my oil, makapal na siya masyado at may konteng sludge na sa loob ng engine. If I change my oil now, will all of the sludge be removed meaning that 90-100% good as new na ung oil or meron siyang cumulative effects for the next oil changes?
By "cumulative effects" I mean ung bits of sludge na di natanggal dahil late ako nag oil change dati ay dadami if I don't follow the next regular oil change schedule.

Here is the scenario: Its been 12k kms since I changed the oil. When I checked it, its very thick already and then small amounts of sludge has formed. If i change my oil now, will all of the sludge be removed or is there a special procedure to toatally remove all of the sludge?

Pasensya na talaga sa tanong tol, im worried kasi. Ikaw din yata ang expert dito. Thanks!


Back to topic: Tol 7th gen corolla kunin mo kasi ang reliable at mura pa at low maintenance.

[[archie]]

big body na lang kunin mo para easy maintenance.

xe model will do para may power steering ka naman.

[aejhayl17]

^^ sorry OT, im not an expert. si renzo yun

too bad!

my answer to your questions are no no no.

anu bang auto yan?

[solidsnake4747]

1.8g 2002 automatic tol.

Ano pong "no no no"? Pakiclaro naman po. Meron din akong na post sa isang thread mo. Thanks for replying tol

P.S
Sinong renzo po yan? Ano forum name niya?


Back to topic:
Piliin mo Gli or Xe na may power windows para di ka mahirapan. Iwasan mo ung pawis steering at pawis windows, mas lalo kang mapapawisan niyan lalo na pag M/T ung sasakyan at ang init dahil sa global warming.

[digitel]

Get the toyota GLi, parehas lang tayo student pa lang, may friend ako Gli yung toyota niya, pero A/T ayun 100 pesos gasolina daw niya sa isang araw, about 20 kms lang naman ang layo ng school mula sa bahay, SLEX pa daan nun.

or if you want get a sentra LEC or any of its kind.

Aejhayl was referring to me, I guess.

But like him, I`m no expert. So I wouldn't have the answers to your queries. Might as well post a new topic under the Toyota thread so mostly all of the members can read and hopefully respond.

*ss4747 OT tayo, baka magalit mods. doon ka na lang sa thread ko, or pm me na lang
