To sell or not to sell 96 exsior?

[oliver1013]

Im contemplating if I should sell my 96 corona exsior with 16" rims, M/T, mileage 88Tkm.Color is Dark blue. Im the first owner. Wala po siyang diperesiya, malamig ang A/C, all stock except the rims (pwede pa nga ibalik yung orid dahil nasa kin pa). Yun nga lang dahil 10 yrs old na parang di nako kampante dahil baka maglabasan in the near new future. Sumilip ako sa buy and sell site and tiningnan ko takbuhan ng ganung modelo nasa 200k to 240k ang presyo. Kung ganung price ko mabebenta gusto ko ipalit yung mas matipid na sasakyan. Vios,city, getz or any small na matipid na car. Si misis ang gagamit.

Ano kaya mas ok mag 2nd hand nalan ako mga 03-04 kumbaga upgrade model lang(pero baka may tinatago na sira)? O Bnew pero nasa mga 650K ang price nun eh, tas trade in ko auto ko. Kaya lang nabarat nako ng buy and sell sa unit ko gusto 160k lang. Need your opinions guys.

sentra is a good option for that price... toyota/honda is way off kung 03-04....mga 200 sta exalta -2002 exlata grandeur sulit ka....wag ka padala sa selling price ng used nissan, thats they are..but doesnt mean they're not good...89 nissan maxima owner ako, and still in its 120 thou kms, it serves me/us well....

toyota/honda, pero ung mga 1.3L low end models..unlike pa nissan, a level higher...

[orly_andico]

city 1.3 i-dsi nalang. that's the most matipid you can get.

Personally, I dont like second hand cars unless I know exactly who and how the car in question has been used and maintained.

Assuming your wife can drive a manual trans. the ff are good economical (in terms of price and fuel consumption) choices.

City 1.3 A M/T - PHP 572,000
Vios 1.3 J M/T - PHP 553,000

sayang namn.. para sakin kung gsu2 mo talaga eco go for vios

[oliver1013]

Pero maganda pa talaga unit ko bago rin pala apat na disck brakes at brake pads. Sa casa ko pa pinapalitan, syang nga napamahal ako eh. Nakakaasar lang kasi kaya binabarat dahil daw dos litros. di daw mabili.

Wag ka magpaloko dyan. Sa aming '96 exsior, meron na buyer at hindi naman niya ginagamit ang rason na dos litros upang ibarat kami.

natural lang sa buy and sell kailangan mababa ang kuha nila sa iyo para may kita sila.. dapat sa direct buyer ka magbenta if you want a higher selling price.. sa buy and sell kasi last resort na yung para makuha mo kaagad ang pera..

pero ive been scouting the classifieds recently ang observation ko ngayon ay yung mga 2 liters above mababa talaga resale ang mataas mga entry level na 1.3..at siyempre mga honda hatchback na entry level din kung tutuusin..

I'm starting to enter this line of thinking as well heheh.

[basti08]

kung ayaw mo magdagdag... pwede din ang 2000 City Type Z 1.3 LXi or 1.5EXi or 1.5 VTi.

ay magdadagdag ka pala konti lang.

[finchy18]

gus2 ko yang corona mo .. okey din kasi matibay sya... kung bibili ka nman ng 2nd hand ganun pa din in the near future may repair na nman.. pero mahal na nga gas ngayun.. pwde benta ko auto tapos down ako sa bagong vios..

[usong725]

kung ung gas consumption lng iniisip mo kya mo gusto ibenta yan corona tapos bili ng vios/jazz, sa tingin ko hindi sulit....

dati nung naghahanap ako ng 2nd hand, gusto ko ung nissan sentra ss or ung mazda familia....sabi nung iba sobra daw lumaklak sa gas kya wag mga yun kunin ko.....dapat daw toyota xl/xe/gli kc matipid sa gas....kya lang nung naghahanap na ako, sobra laki ng dipirensya price nung toyota sa nissan/mazda kya ang ginawa ko gumawa ako ng chart para sa gas consumption....ito ung mga factors, assuming
a.) 20kms ang distance traveled mo daily
b.) 25 days mo gagamitin ung kotse per month
c.) every 4 month magtataas ng 5 pesos ang gasolina
d.) fuel consumption
mazda/sentra - 6kms/li
jazz/vios/city - 15kms/li

based sa computation ko 25k-30k lang ang matitipid mo sa gas sa 1st year.... sa 2nd year 35k-40k ang matitipid....sa 3rd year 45k-50k ang matitipid....after 3 years pag nitotal mo yan, nasa 100k-120k lng natipid mo.... kung nsa 6kms/li lang din ung fuel consumption ng corona eh di sa corona lng ako...mas malakas at maporma pa

pag binenta mo yang corona ng 200k, you need to shell out 350k-400k para makabili ng vios/city/jazz....ung 350k-400k eh ang laking bagay na nun....mga 10years bago mo mabawi....

kya dapat more than 10 years mo gamitin ung new car otherwise hindi sulit....

yan naman eh sa fuel consumption lang....hindi pa kasama ung maintenance, etc...atsaka kung may pambili ng vios/jazz/city eh dapat hindi problemahin ang pang gas ng corona...hehehe

[oliver1013]

Tama ka nga pre ano. May nagsabi sakin pag bumili ka ng city o vios na bago ngayon, ngayong taon astig ka naka brand new ka eh. Next year vios nalang o city yan. Yung exsior mo kahit 3 yrs pa Exsior parin yan. Naalala ko sa post mo. heheh

these is one of the reasons why we still keep the maxima...and since mahal ang gas, at lumalaklak ito ng gas, its a good reliever/emergency car...

[bratski]

meron akong 93 corona dati, binenta ko nung 2000. sobrang sakit sa ulo dahil lumabas na lahat ng sira, yung nakabili gumastos na ng 30k hindi parin maiayos. Pero in fairness tipid cya sa gas. I used to average 7 to 8kms/ltr sa city and 10 plus sa hiway. Yung 94 corolla gli ko nakaka 7kms lang. Both are a/t by the way. Kaya compact cars na 1.6 to 2.0 hindi rin ganun katipid for me.Mag SUV ka nalang ganun din fuel consumption

My rig is ten years old. It has proven itself reliable.

The Corona is a good executive class sedan. If it has served you well, why get rid of it? I don't think you'd be shelling out any more than Php100k/year for repairs or maintenance on the Corona.

And I don't think a compact sedan will still have the same street cred as the Exsior when it too is 10 years old.

[vinj]

I'm starting to enter this line of thinking as well heheh.

But hey you always come out a better and more experienced person.

I'd lean towards selling it and then upgrading to an 04-05 model Altis, Civic, Vios or City/Jazz (depende na on what's the best deal you can find on the 2nd hand car market); even if these are second hand, the chances for repair headaches are still minimal given the cars are still fairly new.

Don't sell your car for trade in or to a Buy and Sell... just take the time to advertise it and i'm sure someone will come along. It's a big plus factor that you're the 1st owner of the Corona.

[redorange]

If you will sell your car and buy a new car to replace it. If you buy a used car to replace it you will end up with a vehicle who's maintenance history you are not familiar with. But, if you keep your current car you at least know how well you have maintained it and if you maintained it well then you have nothing to worry about. That's why selling a used car to buy another used car does not make sense. However, if you buy a new car the added cost will be more than what your possible maintenance expense is on your current car. As mentioned earlier you will probably have to put in another +/-400K for the new car. Based on the current condition of your car, do you see yourself spending another 200-250K in maintenance(excluding oil changes) over the next 5 years? If you answer yes then get another car just make sure if you get a used car it won't cost you more to maintain it than your current car.

Btw, just for clarification (I get lots of questions regarding this). Buy and Sell free ads paper is not only for buy and sell agents. A lot of the vehicles there are being sold by private parties also.
