Thanks for the inputs guys, my options now are:

1. Civic VTi 01, pero over budget ito as I'm expecting only about 300K from the sale of the lynx.
2. Lancer 02 - 03, at least medyo konti lang idadagdag ko siguro. Logic dictates that I consider also the Altis, but heck It's my current car! ayaw ko na hehe.
3. Keep the lynx, find a good store to get lower-priced shock absorbers. good to go for another 2 years or so, but not sure of the other parts = (
4. Keep the lynx for another year, then get a Honda City, at least tapos na yung Altis ko next year hehe.

Sana hindi mabasa yung numbers 3 and 4 nung pinsan ko na naghi-hintay nung lynx = )
