Toyota versus Nissan (which is which?)

[strydent]

Hmmn..actually electrical engineer ako kaya malamang masubukan kong mangalikot ng super touring eheheh, kaso sanay ako sa 230,000 volts eh,heheh..

Last year pa sana ako may kotse, binentahan ako ng classmate ko ng 1996 mazda (i dunno the specs) for 60K provided, id be the one that would overhaul the car and do some makeover..When we met again,she was selling it to me again for 80K pero overhauled n sya..

Madumi lang interiors nya but i dunno about the performance, siguro 1300 lang un..naka pioneer cd n sya..

But then again, I think i better go for the touring kung papasa sa mekaniko.

[nugundam93]

i'd go for the familia, lalo na kung GLXi. more features for your buck compared to its contemporaries.

strydent, kung 80k yun, boxtype na 323 yun. medyo may kalumaan na ang looks. :P
hindi pogi.

yung familia nalang consider mo. gulo no?

[strydent]

Ganun ba..pero 1996 model yun..luma n b un?

[orly_andico]

hehe ganun din yung sentra..
actually it's to give you more choices. kasi parang wala ka nang iba eh.

[strydent]

that 1996 mazda ive been telling was my first first choice (coz i thought it was cheap for 80K) but then again i was told to look , look and look for other option and toyota came along...But tsikoteers posted here that nissan was a greater savings in terms of low resale value with all the ameneties on board.. I studied the threads to see the veracity of the myths about that car and found that its a hoax( might as well feature it at " the mythbuster" of the discovery channel to further prove.

Now if i bought NIssan and found that its actually a lemon, all i need to know is to look for computer and curse everyone else here fo false reports and threads, ehehehe..

bro y not get a corolla XE? its a very reliable car for a beginner... I have one a 96 acquired model and i understand your felling about owning one.. but make sure mag hanap ka ng good condition pa.. I bought mine last 2 years with a 55k Odo reading and now at 75k reading and my experience lng sa sira is that the blower yun aircon medyo mahina na sya, the radiator leak which is the stock one, carb overhaul, actuator ng aircon, change belts and some gulong na kalbo proper maintenance nka synthetic oil nga me eh imagine?.. yun lng.. IMO malaki na yun 10k per month na money ang ma save mo.. 150 araw2x para pang gas kasi nka aircon syempre..

at pwde nga din corolla 1.6 gli yun kunin mo kasi imagine kayang kaya sa 10k a month na pang repairs/maintenance.. laki nyun eh.

yung cnabi ni theeved toto0 talaga yun.. imagine mo may pamilya pa sya eh ikaw solo nga lng liban nlang kng may chix ka ibang usapan nyan..

We also have a 1996 Nissan Sentra 1.6 pero manual. As of now, it already has a little over 200,000km's. Aside from usual wear and tear parts, the car has had no major problems. All the electrics, aircon, etc still work flawlessly. Just make sure the car has been properly maintained and you'll have no problems.

[strydent]

yup, un ang inassure sa akin ng may ari ng car, by the looks of that car, super fresh pa, id say it look more like a 5 year old car, napakalinis although may konting dimple na sya..teka naka post dito eh between nissana nd toyota? who consumes more fuel assuming all values are constant, say aircon, engine..etc..thanks

[OTEP]

Any fuel consumption difference between a 1.6 Corolla and 1.6 Sentra is negligible.

[seymorebutts]

share ko lang.

last year i bought a 2nd hand corolla 93Gli with mileage 180,000, ok pa naman sya hanggang ngayon, no major repair or anything, nagpalit lang ako alternator early this year pati battery, regular change oil.

lahat ng nakaka drive sinasabi "ok yung sasakyan nabili mo ah, ganda ng makina, lakas ng hatak" though sa exterior needs repaint pero pwede pa naman.

tingin ko depende talaga sa history nung sasakyan na kukunin mo, biruin mo 180,000 mileage kinuha ko pa, its because kilala ng barkada ko yung nagbebenta, wag ka magmadali, better yet bumili ka sa kakilala o kilala ng kakilala mo para alam mo kung pano ginagamit.

[muks]

Im planning to buy my first car and my choices are the following:
1. 1994 1.3L Toyota Corolla XL (powerless, fully loaded, makinis, semi sound set- up) ....it costs 132K after all the tawad that i have made with the owner.

ano po ba ibig sabihin pag sinabing fully loaded? dami ko kasi nakikitang ganun sa mga classified ads. thanks po sa kung sino mang makakasagot.

[woulfe27]

between a 90 mazda na puro kanto and an older nissan ECCS, sa nissan ako. but then i've owned four 2nd hand toyotas, 3 corollas and 1 corona. matibay, dami pyesa, mataas resale value. mas mahal nga lang kesa nissan.

btw electrical engineer din ako at malaki ang pagkakaiba ng wiring ng kotse sa power plant hehe. sa car electrician ka tumakbo pag me problema sa wiring kotse mo.
