Hello Guys, I'm new here in this forums. I would like to ask for advice on purchasing a 2nd hand car. My wife and I are looking for our first car. Our budget is around 200K. We only only have basic knowledge on what to look for in a car.

We've looked at some ads and we narrowed our choices to the ff:

96-98 Honda Accord- we particularly like the clean look of this car.
96-98 Toyota Corona- I've read that this is a nice car.
96-98 Nissan Exalta- like the accord, we like the formal look of this.
96-98 Lancer GLXI- is this good?

Or do we need to break the bank and go look for a VTI Honda Civic? This goes around for over 200K.

For city driving lang naman and occasional out of town travel. Our priorities are fuel efficiency, reliability and cheap maintenance.

All comments and suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Wala lang kasi talaga akong alam sa mga kotse eh. Salamat po ng madami.
