Magandang 80's car yung mga Mercedes W123 or W124. If you can find Diesel, mas ok :D

ok din Opel Rekord. Classic. :D

[Horsepower]

--- bloody double post! ---

[cablespy]

80's cars:
classic beetle
lancer box type
Starlet
corolla ae82

mganda po mga suggestion nyo mga sir.. actually ang budget ko eh 80k lang kaya gusto ko din malaman kung pede ko ba iFinance yung iba..

may nakausap akong dealer ng suzuki, pde daw ako kumuha ng brand new na Alto for that price pero DP lang tapos 9k/mos.. parang hindi ko ata kaya yun..

Sa commonwealth ave right past Toyota Commonwealth meron dun 2nd hand car shop which sells cars for 'no downpayment'. If true, cos we havent checked it yet, try mo tumingin ng murang cars dun yung nasa mababang bracket, eh di magiging staggered pa ang release ng 80k mo. By that time, may bwelo ka na to cover up for your balance.

[zeraphim]

san po yan sa commonwealth sir basti.. mapuntahan nga.. nakita ko yung alto, hindi ko sya masyadong naapreciate.. hindi kami kasya ng family ko dun..

ill keep looking po mga papi..

hmmm. at 80k DP, it could not be enough. please take note that if you pay a low DP, kakainin nyang yung monthly amortization mo, and dun lalaki.

what i would suggest is to look for second hand cars that you can get in cash. or ipon pa ng onti, until you reach around 120k, where your choices could be bigger.

[Gerbo]

Well some banks (like Maybank) would do financing for second-hand cars but AFAIK more recent models lang, i.e. currently mga 2000 and up.

IMO, mas ok yon suggestion ni ID4LV. Increase your budget to at least 120,000 to diversify your choices.

BTW, why get an 80's car? You may have a hard time sourcing parts. Somebody in Tsikot posted that manufacturers are only obliged to produce parts for 15 years after the model release. Unless the car is hugely popular and widely owned, there won't be that many 3rd party sources to go around.

If I may suggest, I will have an eye on the Toyota 1.6L GL model (AE92). Still looks nice after all these years.

AMA Bank also finances second year cars, kaya lang sobra ng talo. They are asking for 40% DP of the car, tapos 12% interest annually for three years.

Wala pa dun yung chattel and insurance.

I would also recommend a Toyota 1.6 GL.

how about daihatsu charade?. . .kia pride?. . .

but i agree with gerbo about sourcing out parts for old model cars. . .i was once in banaue and overheard a comment dun sa suking tindahan ko na kahit nga raw parts ng ae92 toyota e nagiging "ginto" na rin daw. . .

[zeraphim]

mga papi thanks po sa inputs..

actually yung 80k po ay cash on hand pero may approve pa po akong loan na about 50k from bank but medyo noob po talaga ako sa pagbili ng auto..

yung toyota na ae92.. yun po ba yung mukhang corolla?

[Gerbo]

Sir, a 1.6L GL Toyota Corolla with a chassis/body code AE92 looks like or similar to this...

[zeraphim]

sir gerbo.. thanks po sa info..
i"ll keep looking..

[vito corleone]

how about this, bro?. . .pasok sa budget mo, even without the loan

[zeraphim]

ok na sir increase budget na po..
kaso ano sa tingin nyo..

honda hatch vs lances vs galant

[Gerbo]

My suggestion would be this:

Ayusin lang ng konti to appear like this:

The Honda Civic Esi hatchback.

[alwayz_yummy]

if you want be practical eto ang ma susugesst ko:

1998 kia pride 1.3L GTX MT--good all-rounder, power antenna, front power windows, locks, has a bigger trunk capacity than my maxima, has a taller and spacious interior, despite maliit siya, may matic - pero kung sa highway mo, medyo matakaw kasi 3 -speed, kung pang city ok na ok.

1996-1999 mazda 323(gen.1 body) 1.3L - all power, 1.3L engine, 5MT. eto isa sa mga pinaka sulit na mabibili mo.

i think under 100T na mga yan, hard to find lang ang owner selling their good-well maintained unit. most of these are laspag kasi mura lang sila na-aquire brand new. but both will not dent your pocket if something broke unlike most japanese brands.

other choices may include - toyota corolla small body (ae92) XL-5 trim. but unlike the 2 that i mentioned above - eto bare lang.--dapat all-power ka dito kasi manual lahat. and for the same price of a 1989-92 xl-5, you can get the 2 models i mentioned above.

another good choice is the sentra series 2 body lec-ps or ex. power steering, 16valve engine, ex trim-had 1.4L

ill go for the eg hatch na lang... kaso baka mahirapan ka maghanap ng matino at 120k. sobrang kakaiba resale value nito. but if you can get one decent at that price... thats a good buy!

maybe youll have better luck with the esi version na lang. all powered pa.

lancer itlog ba? that would be my 2nd choice. good car, more reliable than pizza in terms of suspension.

last choice ko yung galant dahil sa mahal ng gas ngayon.
