    Guys need advice lang. now that I have the funds, I would want to get a sentra. Budget ko sana is 160k. pero plan ko sana is to get a car lower than 120k since may paggagamitan din ako ng 40-50k. cars available are the sentra b13 and b14 (or the series 2-eccs and the series 3 respectively). anong advice nyo guys? b13s are cheaper kasi and from other posts in here mas powerful ang engine (b13's GA16DE 110hp vs. b14's GA16DNE 105hp) so meaning, baka mas matipid sa gas ang b13. b13s are timing chain equipped na din yata. the only thing that keeps me from going for the b13 is the b14's newer body style.

    also, kung mas bago ang kotse, mas ok di ba? so what do you suggest me to get? a b13 a/t or a b14 a/t? ok lang kaya kunin yung b13 over the b14? your help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!!!!

    At the age of the cars in your budget, I wouldn't suggest any AT. But if you really have to, get the newer car. Differences in maximum power don't mean much when your car will hardly ever rev to the 6000 rpms or so it would require to get to it.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    newer one in good condition.

    manual ka nalang baka mahirapan ka sa maintenance ng >10 year old a/t car.

    actually, im trying to get an automatic pero kahit ako, nag-iisip kung ganun na kaluma yung car. pero lets say i'd get the manual, which of the two do you think i should get? is the series 3 really a better car than the series 2?

    im really into getting at least a 95/96 series 3 pero if there's no much difference kung series 2 kukunin ko, i might get the series 2... pero as i've said, mas gusto ko nga sana talaga series 3 until some friends told me na it's relatively the same nga raw. kung wala lang kasi akong budget considerations, series 3 na talaga eh. hehehe

    the series 2 looks nice din naman. kung dun lang fit budget mo go for it. just pick the best you can find. mas-classic sakin tignan ang s2 vs series 3 sentra

    sabi nga nila, mas ok daw yung series 2. "Best Sentra released in the Philippines" daw yun eh. dami din mapag kukunan ng parts since may Nissan Tsuru pa (B13 Sentra) sa latin america... pero ewan ko ba... nakakalito actually eh... hahaha

    sir niky, positive at negative sa 2 tsikot? experiences mo with both? thanks mga bro!
