    Nagtingin-tingin na po ako sa mga threads dito na related sa aking katanungan, pero nais ko lang pong masagot ang mga sarili kong katanungan ukol sa kung ano pong 2nd hand na sasakyan ang dapat kong bilhin... Ang budget ko po ay sagad ng 250k-270k pero ideally mga 220k-250k lang po ang gusto ko para mapa-ayos pa ng konti at sana po yung palit na po ang mags... Ito po ang aking mga pinagpipilian at ang aking dahilan:

    1)Honda Civic VTI 97-2000 M/T - reliable daw, mataas ang resale value, medyo mahal lang daw ng konti ang maintenance dahil Honda?
    2)Mitsubishi Lancer GSR 97-99 M/T - gusto ko talaga ang porma nito at napakadali bihisan, yun nga lang di daw maganda ang suspension?
    3)Mitsubishi Lancer MX or GLS 2000 Invecs or M/T - gusto ko po ng feature niya na invecs tapos yung mga added safety features (ABS and Airbag), madali din bihisan at Pizza, kaso kalampagin din daw?
    4)Toyota Corolla 99-2001 M/T - madali daw po i-maintain dahil toyota, mas reliable ang suspension? Problem is taxi looking at kulang pogi points.
    5)Suzuki Vitara 96-98 M/T - gusto ko kasi mas madami pwede puntahan dahil mataas at 4WD.
    6)Ford Lynx Ghia 99-2001 M/T - I like yung looks kasi hindi nakakasawa dahil konti lang ata sila. And safety features din niya.

    Salamat po sa mga makakasagot sa inyo...

    share ko lang po...

    i was requesting for a second hand car para may "bisikleta" kami sa bahay... budget was 250,000pesos, so we ended up purchasing the Toyota Corolla 1.3 LE M/T 2000 model, priced at 224,000pesos... nung una di ko matanggap kc hindi all-power like the XL (i was wishing for an 1.6 GLi, or kahit yung XE man lang), like a taxi kumbaga... kaso 43,000km reading pa lang sya, previos owner was a balikbayan... the bolts under the car were still a bit shining... at habang tumatagal na-a-accept ko na sya, lalo na nung nabili ko na sya ng stereo head unit (with usb port)...

    maintenance is way cheap as expected... the looks? i don't mind... pag may gimik sa gabi, i use the Corolla... hirap na panahon ngayon sa place namin, peak season ng carnapping since election is coming... besides, i have nothing to worry about pag ito ang dala ko since it has this "public image", so hindi nila nanakawin, hahaha... and i'm happy with it...

    i would recommend you the corolla. why?
    1) cheap maintenance
    2) cheap spare parts
    3) readily available spare parts
    4) very reliable (used as taxis)
    5) no big issues known
    5) classic design

    Whatever you choose, choose an engine with EFI since carburated engine is no longer compatible with E10 unleaded fuel.

    Go for the car that would be cheaper to maintain, secondary na lang ang looks and sportiness.

    among your choices i would go for the lancer MX.
    Invecs II transmission. and yes, sarap pormahan ng pizza. yung kalampagin, magagawaan ng paraan yun by replacing all your suspension components. tapos nun, tuloy-tuloy na ang pagpapaganda mo nyan.

    and yes, you have to factor in what Mile2 said above... by 2011, all fuel sold in the market will be E10 based...works best in EFi cars.

Tulong po sa pagpili ng bibilhin...
