Suggestion for 2nd hand car..

[fl4sh]

Hi,

I'm new to this thread and fairly new din sa mga cars. Magtatanong lng po sana ko what car model would be a good choice for a second hand car. Budget ko po is around 300k but mas ok if pwede lower dun since probably may aayusin pa dun sa car. What po kaya masu-suggest nyo na car in terms of looks and performance and madaling i-setup? I am looking for something na a little modern na yung styling. Thank you po sa time nyo.

honda civic vti 99-00 I think kasya sa budget mo. nandyan na ang looks and performance (vtec) at gaya ng laging sinasabi ng mga may honda hindi ginagawang taxi.

In addition to what kuts posted, you could consider a 2000 to 2003 Honda City type Z.

Aside from the modern styling and ease of modifications, is there anything else that you're looking for (e.g., fuel consumption, interior space, trunk space, power, resale value, maintenance, etc.)?

[fl4sh]

Thank you po for all your replies.

Fuel economy and the cost of maintaining the car are some of the factors I also consider. Resale value is a plus but not so much kasi kung sakali third owner na yung magbuy nun eh. Trunk space and interior space not so much of a factor din for me.

Ano po b yung difference ng 2000 to 2003 Honda City type Z sa 1999-2000 Civic VTI?

yung 2003 po na city yung pinalitan ng latest model. eto yung 2003:



yung 1999-2000 naman yung pinalitan nyang nasa taas ^ eto un:



hth.

nu po ba gusto nyo? sedan or suv? civic yung mga 2000 (?) and below model. yung vti o lxi. parang kulang budget nyo para SiR. kung suv try mo suzuki vitara.

[fl4sh]

sedan po sana kasi malakas yta masyado sa gas yung suv eh and parang mas mahirap po lagyan ng modification in my opinion po pero correct nyo po ko kung mali. hehe wala ko masyado experience tlga eh

how much po ba yung SIR? and aside sa engine malaki po ba difference nya sa VTI? And how much po ba dpat ko itabi para sa mga pagpapaayos?

thanks po sa mga reply

An Sir would fetch higher than 330k, same body sila ng Civic Vti 99 to 2000, Sir is 1.8 I think while Vti is 1.6 to be on the safe side better allot 50k for repairs.

Honda Civic LXi pwede
1st gen CRV
Honda Civic SiR ( tamang tama for mods )
pwede rin ang honda city
Altis kaya, kaya?

SIR. i think it has 1.6 liter engine.

Based on wikipedia.

The 1999 Civic Si trim featured a 1.6-liter B16A2 (SiR only) engine that made 160 hp (120 kW) at 7,600 RPM and 111 ft-lbs. of torque at 7,000 RPM in a car that weighed roughly 2,600 lbs.

To TS.

I've been in your situation before and most people suggested that i should get a B/N over a second hand car.
Why? coz mainly its brandnew. thats it. Hassle free and you will be the first one to own it. Wow, sarap nun di ba?

Actually. Ganyan din ang naging budget ko before(or less than that), pinagpilian ko dati eh SIR, GSR, Lynx etc. Then post sa forum, asked suggestion/opinion kung ano maganda and most of them tell me get a brandnew instead of 2nd hand.

So after months and even years of careful thinking, what i did is this, brandnew kinuha ko, Satisfied with it except the fact that its a bit gas thirsty.

Kung may pera ka naman dumadating kada buwan, i dont think that it will be hard for you to pay the monthly amortization is'nt it?

Well that is just my opinion,

Pero if you really want a 2nd hand car, with that budget, Ok na Ok ang civic 99 or 2000, or a nissan sentra gts 1999, if you are not particular with any brand.
Based on the classified section of tsikot. Nissan sentra GTS price range from 210K-220K. Then may almost 100K ka pa for mods and repair.

Hope this helps.
Thanks.
