    If I were you I'd keep the Corona. Ano ba sa tingin mo ang masisira diyan? First owned naman so you know how well you have maintained that. Being a Toyota, if well maintained, walang masyadong problema yan. Baka body work lang kung may mga minor dents and scratches at hindi pa nababangga.

    Suspension at mga ilalim siguro, at yung sakit ng Corona/Corolla sa power steering baka lumabas.

    Kung religiously maintained ang makina, ayos pa yan. Though personally a 2nd gen 3S-GE swap would make sense to me. ;)

    i like the corona, especially the exsior model... if i were you, i will just maintain and keep it... after another 5 years of service... you're already breakeven with the resale value... keep it =)

    I promised myself never to get a 2nd hand car again. Everytime magpa change oil ako, mayroon kailangan palitan (kahit small things lang naman).

    Once my cars reaches 50 or 60km.....it's selling time. I need reliability. Less sakit ng ulo.

    Pagkatapos ko palitan yung timing belt plano ko patira sa big berts yung exterior. Mejo di na tinatablan ng wax!! di na kumikintab. Dark blue pa naman yung kulay!!

    keep you corona, bro. used to have one, nagsisi ako nung binenta ko. gas consumption niya is like a 1.6l. i get around 7-8km/l city driving. more than 10 sa highway.

    as far as the exterior design is concerned, di pa rin sya laos, imo. it has the high belt line that is reminiscent of current brand new cars. the 3sfe engine, though not as powerful, gives decent torque on the low/mid range. perfect for city and highway overtaking. my only complaint is the suspension. di lang at par with the accord and cefiro. pero overall, one of the best cars talaga that is worth keeping.

    dagdag lang para makumbinse ka...

    Dont downgrade. Bad for your car experience ang downgrade from a midsize to compact sedan. Ma-miss mo yung torque at speed at luxury.

    Bare in mind also that mid size sedans are EXPENSIVE nowadays... kaya swerte ka meron kang well maintained Corona Exsior which I also like kasi Torquey naman makina nyan (assuming parehas nung 1st gen Rav4).

    Saka mid size sedans of that time which include the Galant & Accords are really sporty IMO... mid size sedans now have become sedate & luxurious... kumbaga rare breed na yung kotse mo baka next time maging sought after din yan given proper aging siguro... I'm thinking of ala AE86 sa Initial D... hehehe

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.
    Go find good buyers now, and use your money for down payment or add to your savings if you have. We thought the same way before but maintaining second hand cars is not worthy anymore. Buy brand new!

    I used to have one , sometimes I regret selling it specially when I see one. However , hindi naman investment ang kotse so it is not advisable to keep it for a long time considering the fact that it depreciates.

To sell or not to sell 96 exsior?
