Hi staind.....

Just a few guidelines when you're checking the car.

1. Look at the mileage. Is it too high for it's year model?
2. Bring a mechanic for him to check if there are problems w/ the car
3. Check the body, does it have scratches, dents etc.
4. Check the interior, does it have any broken parts etc etc.
5. Have you test driven it? If not, maybe you could do some testdriving for you to feel the power of the car.

Well, buying a 2nd hand car is just simply similar in buying a brand new one....you check before you pay.......

CHECKPAY...wtf :rofl:

Anyways....goodluck

Cheers ;)

*s_quilicot,
don't know the plate# e. what's the first name of the owner of the gold echo that's for sale?

*renzo_d10,
yep, will surely test drive it and have it checked.

am pretty sure echoes don't have 'power' being a small displacement car. it'll be zippy but that's about it.

it's the FC and cutesy looks that make it appealing to students. besides pang-city lang naman yung car e, not for out of town trips.

as already suggested, just allocate money for repairs. one thing good going for the echo is that afaik it is fuel efficient. and i think you don't need all the space of a sedan yet

I was going to suggest to get the 2003 Vios instead but I checked the prices and its at least 350k.

2000 to 2002 Lancer would be a better choice.

It's a relatively rare vehicle and there is a demand for it so it does command a higher than average price for that size car.

Downside, it is getting old.
