What car fits the budget of 500k or below?

Thanks for all the replies...

Yes may mga nakita nga akong Focus, 3, Lancer, Altis and Civic kaso younger is better sana...

At the end of the day, bakal pa din yan and nadadagdagan kalawang/lumalambot every year... 2010-2011 models are already 7-8 years old, by the time she finishes college, more than 10 years old na.

Ayoko sana ng repossessed car... Based on experience, medyo hassle yung registration. Plus since as-is basis sya, ang daming sakit na lumalabas sa first few months (in reality, na-repossess yung sasakyan kasi nabitin sa monthly fees yung original owner, di na ako aasa sa maintenance)

dagdag ka na lang konti.. brand new na..

^^^ Bigger cars are built to be more robust than smaller cars. There is a reason they are more expensive as they have better engines and bigger frames.

A 7-8 year old car will not be far off in shape compared something 3 years younger. If the car is properly maintained and the owner cared for it accordingly, then it will still be in good shape even after 10 years. I had a 2001 Accord before, its chassis and suspension was better compared to our much younger 2009 City.

I'd take a 2011 Civic over a 2014 City anytime. The older Civic still rides better and as Egan said, is built tougher compared to its budget-strapped brother.

I sold my 2009 Altis without a single kalampag. In all honesty, it ran as well as my 2015 Altis and definitely much better than my 2014 Vios before.

I'd take an old Civic over a new Wigo/Mirage anytime. Kahit brand new, low-end pa rin.

if i'll buy a second hand car I'll get the vios. i own one and parts are everywhere, i just replaced my trunk release cable and nabili ko lang replacement sa katabi naming auto supply, how convenient is that.

Even if you buy a 2nd hand car with the price higher than the market value as long as its casa maintained and less than 30k on the odo especially if AT buy mo. try mo mga sa banks yung mga na repossess, usually casa
maintained mga yan. My friends barkada nakabili ng 2016 vios AT sa bank with less than 10k sa odo 500k, maybe may kilala siya sa bank.

Agree with this suggestion. Daming resposessed vios sa banks, kung makachamba, you can get one with just 5k on the odo for 500k or a little bit more. Parang bago na rin.

Pasingit na rin.

Is this a good deal already?





2014 Ford Fiesta S Hatchback AT 50,000Kms Php450,000

Like ko na rin sana yung Honda na ito pero same coding day as my Altis.



2010 Honda Jazz 50T Kms. Php420,000

Any opinions on these deals?

This is a Sport+ model with the 1.0L 3-cylinder Ecoboost (turbo) engine. I would say it's a good deal for its price as it was sold for 898k back in 2014. The Ecoboost model was available locally on the 2nd quarter of 2014.

Just make sure there is a complete service record and ask the owner how he drives it. Also, ask the owner if he has some issues with the DCT tranny (severe jerking, stalling).

I also drive a 2014 Fiesta Ecoboost and I have logged round 43k+ on it already. So far, I'm happy with it. It's one fast and responsive car, feels like a daily go-kart. Take note though that the fuel consumption is more like a car with a 1.6L NA engine on city routes though it can very fuel efficient on the highway (15-20 km/L).

I wouldn't risk it with an old Fiesta, not worth it if it isn't the turbo.

I'd rather look for another Jazz, preferably 1.5 (same FC, much more power).

That's the Ecoboost model already. The non-turbo model does not have the Ecoboost tag above the "S" unless the owner placed such a tag.

My bad, assumed it was the 1.5.

Hmm the Fiesta Ecoboost is an interesting proposition for me - very fast, fun to drive, lots of toys, but ultimately a toy car.

Very cramped for 3 passengers in the back, not much cargo space, doesn't look as expensive as other similarly priced cars.

I considered the Ecoboost before I bought my Altis before. Ultimately decided it just wasn't the all-rounder I was looking for.

Aaargh! Kaya ang hirap talaga humanap pag di mo kabisado mga variants for each brand/model year. Balik na lang yata ako sa Altis 1.6V 2011-2012 since yun ang familiar ako.


But at least I like this one, which is why I'm looking at subcompacts:

NYAY!!! Lower FC pa naman is what one would expect from these subcompacts.

[Egan101]

*gearhead000 -

During days with medium traffic, the Fiesta Ecoboost can do around 9-10 km/L in city routes. On even lighter traffic conditions, it is even better. However, if you are stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic daily, you might be doing only 7-8 km/L. On the highway while travelling between 80-90 kmh, you can do 18-20 km/L. If travelling between 100-120 kmh (with short bursts up to 160-180 kmh), I average around 15 km/L.

Not the Altis 10th gen, boring. I'd suggest the Altis if it's your only car and you're not into spirited driving. For a fun second car, Jazz nalang. Just as fast as the Fiesta (less drama though since no boost) but with better reliability, parts availability, and space.

^^^The Fiesta Ecoboost is quicker than the Jazz to triple digit speeds though top speed maybe about the same. The acceleration of Fiesta Ecoboost is more like cars with 2.0L NA engines due to its ample torque at low rpms plus overboost (20% more torque) at 5k rpm. You need to push hard the gas pedal to have the Jazz"s engine reach 4K+ to reach its peak torque. Honda's steering for its small cars feels a bit numb. The Jazz though is bigger inside than the Fiesta and it is more fuel efficient. Maintenance for Honda"s 1.5L engine is cheaper unlike the Fiesta's 1.0L turbo engine which requires 5L of low viscosity synthetic oil.

Thank you, mga Sir/s.

I've learned a lot just from the three posts or so regarding my inquiry.

[Mark Suarez]

IMO, I would try to Buy a second hand Fortuner or Montero Sports. Reliable yang dalawa na yan. Year 2005 to 2006 may presyong 500-600k na ganyan na.

[niky]

Best deal, get a secondhand second-generation Jazz... 1.5 or 1.3 five-speed automatic... more durable than the first gen CVT. Only major maintenance concern is the electric power steering, but since she will simply be commuting, no big issue.

At around 400 for a late model, you're 100k under the budget. She can get her dings, dents and small accidents... it's a pretty safe car... and then when she's ready for something better, resell after three or four years for about 250 - 300k.

[kagalingan]

Iba talaga appeal ng 2nd-gen jazz. Unrivaled in its class.

Kaya yung 3rd gen jazz dapat na iscrap ng honda make a new model na.
