    IMO, bilin mo yung pinakabago na mabibili mo at that budget. If you can get a 98-00 model then go for it. Of course check mo din overall condition nung kotse. Not necessarily bago e mas ok. May makukuha ka na din Ford Lynx 2000 model at that budget. Pero Nissan (i assume Sentra yan?) ok din naman, baba nga resale value nyan so pabor sa 2nd hand buyer.

    Not so sure sa dalawang yan, pero sa Sentra normally maganda aircon, low resale value, yung suspension lang ata suspect dyan? For Lynx yung cam sensor lang daw pag bumigay ata medyo mahal piyesa. Pero in both cases naman kung naaalagaan e good buy. In the end, it's really your preference between the two or any other car for that matter. Basta kung bago bago ka pa lang sa kotse, sama ka na lang ng mekaniko para matignan ng maigi condition ng kose.

    On that budget... u can actually have a nissan sen, mitsu lancer, ford lynx, n' a mazda 323.. pag toyota rolla or honda civic naman, usually a year older yung same value na makukuha mo sa 1st group I mentioned. Pro kung inclined ka sa sen... its a good choice! powerfull a/c, strong power plant, n' gives u good comfort. Yung sa piyesa issue kesyo mas mahal sa rivals like rolla n' lancer, not that true.. kung may difference man it's not that big. I help my uncle sometimes in his buy n' sell buss., I run errands like buy parts for his cars for sale kaya napansin ko yung price diff. ng parts.

    Yung median resale value issue naman... he he.. like what my uncle told me, its all about the "masa" (lower class C to E) mentality of pinoy's that made the sentra, lancers, 323's a bit lower compared to rollas n' civics..We tend to believe in sabi sabi's than look into actual facts. Back in the late 80's daw kc.. kwentong manong mekaniko daw 'to "ah nissan ba kamo.. mahal piyesa nyan! di gaya toyota, sa sari sari store ata meron at mura pa!" Kaya 2loy "smart" buyer's like you will always have the last laugh.. biruin mo all that good quality at a lower price! ;)
