Our 2007 Vios on the other hand has 135,000kms on the odo and so far i've only replaced shocks and the wheel bearings (and this unit took a swim in Ondoy).

But of course, in terms of driving experience, the FD is much more engaging.

Oh wow! I've had ZERO repairs on my 2010 Altis since I bought it. Just the regular PMS. It still runs like new (except for the kalampag when I changed all the tires)

Another reason to love Toyota

Per olx, A 2010 1.3E Vios would have a sale value of around 250K-300K while the FD is also around 300-350K.

Per experience, the Vios takes abuse better then the FD.

Tama sir. Sa vios ko pinakamahal ko palang napalitan is clutch assembly at yun underchassis parts like tie-rod, stab link, brakes, repack ng CV joint, gear oil. Di pa nga ako nakakapagpalit ng shocks at shock mounts pero to follow na sana. Wala din naman sa plano ibenta yun vios pero rare opportunity para sakin ito kasi I wanted an FD before pero napunta kami sa vios way back 2010. Ngayon nakachamba ng low mileage(assuming hindi tampered, gotta check the condition ng car compared sa mileage pag navisit na namin) kaya gusto ko sana iswap yun vios kasi mataas na yun mileage nya.

Thanks sa inputs ma'am! Ito din naghohold back sakin, isswap ko yun car ko sa mas luma. Kaya humingi ako ng tulong sa tsikoteers kung okay ba na igrab ko tong deal. Mag add ako ng 50k for a low mileage car, magiging fd pa yun car ko. Planning on buying mags sana at repairs ng vios. Pero dumating itong civic at pumayag na for swap sa vios +50k, dun ko nalang ilalagay yun pera na pang repair at pambili ng mags hehe.

Mura-mura lang Ninang engine support

If you still can haggle to lower the 50k out of pocket. Baka Kasi Meron leak Yan R&P just to cover for the repair just in case.

For me, I will triple check the car before I can say it is a rare opportunity or a great deal.

It is a 10-year old car na din. I am sure there are for replacements. So better save up for this also.

Actually sir nanggaling to sa 70k. Sabi ko hanggang 50k lang kaya ko ishell out. Hanggang after a week nagconfirm siya sa 50k. May mga issues din kasi vios sir na wala ipapagawa ko pa sana pero kung papayag siya na as is na yun vios then add ako 50k much better for me assuming na in very good condition talaga yun fd pag nakita namin. Given the conditions, wil it be a good deal na mga sir? Thanks!

Agree ako dito sir. In 6 years ng vios sakin, walang naging major problem. Parang tangke ika nga. Everyday workhorse tapos no major issues so far. Currently at 150k odo.

Good deal na po ba ito if ever? Thanks sa reply sir

kabait mo dude. masyado mataas cash out mo, imho. para sa akin, around 30k will do to cover cost of repairs for your vios.
