[genuine0270]

Hi Subject Matter experts,

i'm new here and i would like to seek your expert advise.
Gusto ko bumili ng second hand car, and recently I have options na Nissan sentra 05 manual, all power (245k) and honda city 01 manual, all power (235k) both in good condition.

Questions:

1. are the price right for each of the car? or may nag-dedeviate from the normal price range?
2. i heard that honda is more fuel effecient than nissan, sobrang layo ba ng difference?
3. if engine performance and durability ang paguusapan, alin ang mas recommended nyo?
4. overall, alin mas dapat ko piliin sa 2?

Thanks in advance. I'm hoping na makakuha ako ng feedback sa nyo kasi both cars are up for sale. and sana hindi pa late bago ako makadecide.

Which variant of the City are you looking at? LXi, EXi or VTi? The price is quite reasonable if they are in good condition but you can always try your best to lower the price. In all variants, the City is more fuel efficient than the Sentra since it is a manual and has a better power to weight ratio considering that the LXi City has the same power output as the Sentra GX but is much lighter at less than 1000kgs. For performance, of course lamang ang Honda dito. If the City is in good condition and mileage isn't exceedingly high, I'd get the City. But for 235k, VTi dapat yan.

Thanks GTI. VTi naman yung honda na offer. thanks for your inputs.

Kahit mas malakas sa gas ang Sentra (6-7km/l daw) go for the GX kasi current body pa rin kahit papaano at mas bago pa compared sa city.

Ang 2001 City 2 generations older na at 10 years old na rin yan kung iisipin mo. We were about to sell our 1999 Civic Vti A/T for 230k kaso na-carnap pa eh back in 2007. So parang namamahalan ako sa presyo ng City.

Fuel economy aside you have to look at the age & condition of the cars. Older cars will need more maintenance to keep running. And that can get expensive quickly, outstripping the savings from better gas mileage.

So given that, I would prefer to choose the 2005 Sentra GX over the 2001 City.
