330 k - 350 k budget for a second hand car. what should i buy?

[carlo_41786]

hello mga Sirs at Gurus. Im planning to buy a second hand car this March after matapos ko ang ipon ko at maaproved(sana) ung iloloan ko. 330-350 k ung expected budget hopefully. before balak ko sana is CBR150rr na motor at isang civic 2door hatch.but after seeing the motor in person.medyo na turn off ako kasi payat masyado at ang taas ng seat height(alangan sa ht ko).since di na ako bibili. budget rises to 330-350 k. what po magandang car.choices ko ay e2:

manual tranny lang po sana.

1. honda civic SIR 1999 model - tulin daw nito at maganda talaga ang itsura kaso (kung matatawaran)
2. honda civic VTI 2001-2002 model dimension body(kung matatawaran din)
3. GSR 2001-2003 model(invecs II - ayoko sana matic/invecs but it looks good)

4. GSR 1997-1999 model 250k below lang but will the remaining money is for modz(sound/body kits and mags )

yun poh ang mga prospect car ko at still deciding which is better and what is the best among the rest. Need advice. ano ba dapat? sino ba sa kinila? any kind of comments and suggestion, violent reaction will be accepted. it will only be used for weekend driving. pang chicks at pang sundot i mean pang sundo sa gf.

any other car that can be included on this budget? thanks poh. hope you guys will help me for making decision.THANKS THANKS THANKS

[ronw123w124]

based on your choices, SIR ang pinakamaganda para sa kin, how about a brand new Chery QQ???? hehehe...

[carlo_41786]

ah? yun ba? hehe. china made yun db? nakita ko na xa. ang liit lang. ganun ung binili ng kassamahan ko sa work at di ko xa type. hehe. kung katchback lang din lang eh sa civic EG na ako or JAZZ! lupet!

[emongedmund]

civic SIR parin ako

[Kurusaki]

A piece of advise bro if you really want to market on those cars, those are great cars but considering they are aged with no guarantee on how they're being treated by their previous owners (normally any seller would be biased about the condition of the car) you should have some extra cash on hand and be ready for repairs, replacements, etc.

With your budget of 350K you could buy an SiR or a Lancer GSR on that account but then, considering its second hand, you have to factor in and be ready with some things that might have problem with the car i.e. suspension etc.

On the other hand, if you have stable income you can also go brand new through financing. You may think its expensive but given that it comes new with warranty means a bit worry free of ownership than used ones. I know some friends who bought used cars and ended up having to spend close to brand new car money because of repairs plus the trouble they underwent was of no joke.

But still its up to you bro. Just spend your money wisely...

[wavecxs]

sa choices na binigay mo sa SIR din ako. sa mga wala sa list mo, i would still go for a (properly maintained) nissan exalta sta.

pero agree din ako kay kurusaki on the option of buying a brand new car instead. how about pang down mo na lang budget mo then get a crdi gets or a civic 1.8V.

[_Qwerty_]

yup.. i agree na you should also consider a brand new.. hassle free.. walang sakit nang ulo kasi under warranty.. with 350K..pwedeng pwede nang pang down yan..

[carlo_41786]

im also considering a brand new car. but the thing is. i loloan ko ung kalahati ng budget ko, ung 330k na un. kalahati will be coming sa banko.

*sir Kurusaki
yup i do have a stable income. but i dont know if i can handle buying a brand new car. among sa brand new car. type ko ung Mitsu Lancer GLX or ung Honda Jazz 1.3 iDSi. kaso, kalahati lang nun budget ko sa 2nd hand car ang ipon ko... ng inquire na din ako sa mga car dealer like sa honda alabang then sabi nila. total cash out will be 250K then ung monthly ko is around 11k. 5 years to pay for honda jazz 1.3. grabe!!! kaya ung monthly lalo na pag na-icreasan ako next year but ung downpayment, couple of months ulet ang bubunuin ko for that. what should i do kaya? ipon muna ulet?

[drag_addict]

hntayin mo n lang koya ung bagong lancer hehehehe...

[userfriendly]

Consider mo suzuki alto. Halos sakto budget mo. Brand new pa.

Getz and Picanto ok din pero dagdag ka nga lang.

[carlo_41786]

* drag_addict
talaga? i rerelease din ba sa atin ung bagong lancer?


Katulad ba nito yung sinasabi mu sir? hay naku? magkano kaya ito?

* userfriendly
OO nga noh? ganda din ng hyundai kaso mas gusto ko pa din ang honda or mitsu. hehe. but i will put it on to consideration. thanks poh!

IMO, try to inquire about auto loans on several banks to weigh-in your options. Professional naman sila kausap and they're the one to adjust on your capacity. On your budget, capable ka na makabili ng brand new subcompact.

And Bro, wag ka manghinayang kahit ifinance mo nang 6 years yung brand new. Even after 6 years, eh 6 years old pa lang din yung car. Mas okay yun kesa finance ka ng second hand vehicle. Let's say 2000 SiR which is 7 years old tapos bayaran mo ng what? For 3 years? After 3 years, the car would be 11 years old already. Walang warranty, plus gastos sa repairs, talong talo ka.

My say is, kung bibili ka ng second hand i-cash mo na lang and have some extra for repairs. I just don't like the sense na ipang-uutang mo yung ipambabayad mo sa gamit na auto

[VtEC]

i go for the civic (teka parang meron ng thread na ito a, parehas lang ba?)

if i were you, papagkasyahin konalang yang pera mo sa mga choices mo.pangit naman yong naka brand new ka nga pero kinakapos kanaman sa budget mo.mahirap yong me bayarin monthly bro.Idagdag mopa dyan yong laki ng insurance pag brand new, aba baka mahulog ka sa silya mo or if you want, wait a little more, ipon pa ng konti.

[sinister_fadz]

peepz, my s.i.r. ba na worth 350th? ung loaded or naka.set up na tas hindi nalaspag? bakit po ba mas mura ang mga expensive cars before? tulad ng cefiro, accord at yung galant (shark look).. malakas ba ang fuel consumption ng ng galant shark look.. i like its looks kc eh, parang mad and mean tsaka my pgka.bmw.. hehehe! my manual po ba na galant? i saw 1 sa car finder, 320th kaso lng matic.. 350th rin ang budget ko for a 2nd hnd car.. pro ung s.i.r,dream car ko tlga un before.. hehe!

[carlo_41786]

still cant decide... brand new or a second hand? anu nga kaya? which is which. by the way weekend driving lang panigurado ang magiging gamit ko sa sasakyan na ito. pag day off pang sundo sa gf or panchicks. how about a second hand jazz around 450k? stretch ko nalang budget ko at maghigpit ng sinturon... how was that? is that a good idea?

* sinister_fadz
siguro SIR will be available on that price if its very rush talaga.hehe... and about the galant? i also love that car.but as what they've said. umiinom daw sa gas un. hehe. maganda at maangas talaga pero usually AT at madalang lang ang MT.

* VTEC
Civic din na dimension body type ko.hehe pero asteeg looks ng SIR.
magandang point(about BNEW). baka magdildil na ako ng asin nyan pag ganun ang ngyari at nde din biro ang 5 years na bayaran.maybe i can compensate if its only 2 years 10k per month but 13k+ for 5-6 years? aray ko poh.hehe and btw.newbie lang din.first car ko lang po ung bibilhin ko.


* Kurusaki

May point ka poh dun sir. after 6 years. 6 years lang din yung car not unlike car that was manufactured 2000 and below. but i dont know if my budget will allow. di kasi ganun kalakihan ang sahod ko eh. hehe. at tingin ko wala ng matitira sa budget ko for a month,lahat dun na mapupunta lahat.
havent tried going to a bank and asked about car loan.kakahiya kasi eh.
im just 21 and they might say that im still young to do it db?and besides first car ko pa lang ito...how about a second hand JAZZ 2005 model MT?

[biboy28]

new vios 1.3 MT

good fuel consumption+ low maintenance= tipid

Chong, pareho lang pala tayo ng case eh. I'm only 24 and sa case natin kailangan ng parents as co-maker if you're going to apply for a bank financing. You can apply through phone, usually interview lang naman pag apply pa lang. After CI when you got approved, then that's the only time they will ask you for requirements i.e. COE and ITR plus parents. If you have time tawag ka sa mga dealerships magpacompute ka ng quotation sa gusto mo na tsikot para may idea ka kung magkano kaya ng budget mo. Usually under bank financing din naman ang scheme ng financing sa dealerships unless may in-house sila.

Okay ang Honda Jazz, but be sure its well maintained (don't know how to be sure). And like I said, if second hand kukunin mo, payo ko lang i-cash mo na lang kasi mas malaki interest ng financing pag used cars.

BTW, a brand new subcompact e.g. All new Vios 1.3J would only cost around 11-12K/month, DP is around 170K for 20% but this may vary depending on offers. Madami pa choices sa subcompact category. Kaya payo ko lang chong take your time and shop around pa. Malay mo, when the time comes baka SUV na pinagpipilian mo...

Like you, I'm in the hunt pa din for my first car. Hard earned money kasi gagamitin ko pangdown tapos finance upto 5 years kaya talagang pinagiisipan ko mga pros and cons nung mga choices ko.

[carlo_41786]

*Kurusaki
well said. :clap:.
actually kakakausap ko pa lang sa isang sales exec ng Mitsu. at binigyan nya ako ng computation kung magkano and DP at ang magiging monthly ko. since my promo sila, dami ang libre. gaya ng LTO reg at ng chattel ba un? ganda ng offer but limited time since its promo, they said that it might extend but depending on the stock availability. its a lancer GLX 1.6 M/T. and based on what he said that this model is being phased out since the new model will be release this coming 2nd qt. Ok na sa akin yun but the problem is. laki ng monthly. 13 K for 5 years and 120k DP. sana kung malaki na ipon ko swak na swak na sana un. kung around 10-11 k lang sana monthly.

about sa vios na 1.3J? db un ung entry level and does not have all power feature? ang stock na mags eh ung parang sa jeepney - steel mags? hehe, ok xa kaso db? hehe. alam mu na un. gusto ko sana ung medyo may dating ng konti dun 1.3E(arte ko wala namang pera heheh)

ganda talaga pag brand new over used cars. since you will be the one to own it first. kumbaga sa babae. nakavirgin ka. cguro naman kahit sino gusto ng virgin i mean brand new car,
kaso pera lang talaga problema.heheh(well thats given)

sir,pag nakabili ka na.inform mu naman ako kung anu nabili mu ah. hehe. thanks

[Kurusaki]

Dude, actually I too have eyed on that same car... Ganda nga ng promo! Pero in fact yung promo is para lang sa may mga cash.

Since SA yung nagbigay ng quote sayo, pareho lang tayo ng computation. Sad, kasi dapat hindi aabot ng 13K ang monthly kung around 500K+ na lang ang amount to finance mo. Kaya umabot sa ganun kasi iba rates nila sa mga promo-priced car. If sa bank ka nagpacompute with the same terms, around 12K lang ang magiging monthly mo. Kaya lang habol natin is yung promo and if you go straight to the bank to finance, sasabihin naman nung SA hindi na qualified sa promo pag ganun. Ibibigay nga nila sayo yung promo pero babawian ka naman sa monthly mo. In the end, bale wala din. The same goes with my application for a Toyota Yaris.

Very sad! Akala mo nakamenos ka hindi pala.

I've been working my budget for a Getz CRDi, maybe 1Q of 2008. Sick torque you get with its turbocharged engine. Talo pa nga daw nito SiR sa stop and go traffic. Pero tipid pa din. This car is definitely a sleeper. You might wanna check it out too Bro.

Mag second hand na JAZZ ka nlang...
