    Good morning!

    A newbie here plannning to get his 1st car. I can get a company loan of around 300k max. I'm dead set on getting a 2nd hand car, kaso 6yrs old lang ang limit, so that leaves me from 2002 models up. What type of cars can I get with that budget? I'm considering fuel economy, and the usual tibay ng makina. Some advised a City type Z or corolla.

    Any other cars I should consider?

    Thanks and Happy Halloween!:diablo:

    My choice at that budget would be the 2002 Nissan Sentra Exalta. But get the one with the pop-up LCD monitor.

    Panalo ang interior looks, especially the optitron gauges. And since 1.6 ang makina, medyo matipid sa gas. And of course the legendary Nissan AC.

    Kahit stock look, maporma ang dating (for me).

    go for the exalta, executive edition.. get it on stock condition but get the one with lowest mileage and least issues (parts/things to fix)

    then save save lang in the future para bihisan.. (mags,skirts etc)

    Get a diesel. yung CRV, consumption nyan 4-5km/L patay ka sa gasolina nyan lalo pag fully loaded.

    I suggest kuha ka ng Toyota Revo na diesel or Mitsu Adventure na diesel.
