    marami pong nagbebenta ng murang sasakyan.
    nguni at, kadalasan ay marami rin pong papa-gawa sa kotseng mura nabili...

    sa katapusan,
    presyo ng kotse + gastos pagawa = hindi na mura.

    meron din naman,
    mura.. good condition..
    karnap naman palah!

    word of warning,
    there's a reason why mura siya.

    errr...
    ano po budget ninyo?

    + 1 kay Dr. D.

    Back in the day, we purchased a sedan with a market value of 250K but we got the unit for only 190K. Body issue was the only problem that we were aware of. After a month of using it, nag Sharon Cuneta ang makina (Naghalo ang tubig at langis). Nung dinala namin sa talyer, the mechanic told us that the engine was previously damaged na at ginawan lang ng paraan para umayos ulit

    Lesson? Hindi ibig sabihin ng mura, walang pagawain. Mas ok na bumili ng may ka-mahalan as long as good condition ang unit.

    Cheers!

    i used to buy the cheapest used car.
    now, i buy the more expensive, if not the most expensive, of the choices.
    in the long run, these more expensive buys gave a lot less headaches.

    Sa mga repo mas mura yung iba. Not all though.
    Walang test drive. Baka magulat ka na lang sira pala transmission. Heheh.

    Pero mas mura bumili sa kakilala.

    repos assure only ownership.
    they have no mekanikos, to fix the cars.
    as-is-where-is basis only.
    "if it breaks in two, you own both pieces", is their only warranty.

    Tama doc.
    Repos are not for everyone. that's why i put the transmission as an example.
    You need to really know what you are looking at and make do with the limited viewing space and sched.

    But if ts is brave enough, he could try.
    Just expect more paperwork and legwork.

    talaga? totoo ba yan?
    perhaps, you refer to some casas' promo of "lovingly pre-owned", that they sell at argueably almost-new prices but with limited warranty....

    but kung totoo yan for all used cars, eh 'di dapat ay dinadagsa na ang mga bayan sellers and private sellers...
    because this addresses the second-biggest issue against buying used cars.

    basta pasok sa consumables yun pinalita or sira (suspension, brakepads etc) di ko na kinocontact seller.
    with enough reasearch, plus inspection and test drive, may idea kana sa magagastos .. just incase.
    ang non negotiable sakin yung interior and electricals; engines and transmissions can be fixed or replaced in the event may na miss ka during inspection. pero yun interior, mahirap maghanap ng mas matino sa gusto mong palitan, at madalas mahal.

    You can also check sa mga facebook groups paps. Madami din nagbebenta doon. Sa facebook lng din kami nakahanap ng seller dati. Magdala ka lng ng mekaniko para macheck nyo. Ung pricing, mas mura pa din pag ung mismong owner nalapitan mo eh. Mahal din pag sa casa at ibang dealer.

    Same here, hehe.
    TS maki high jack na rin pasensya na.
    Pero masaya talaga ako naging member ako ng Tsikot. Dami ko talagang natutunan.

    While still saving up, i'm still undecided if kukuha ng brandnew car na hulugan tapos invest my remaining money for business para kikita pa rin. Or buy in cold cash for a lesser price a slighty used 2-3 year old of same car that i like.

    Do you have a car now? If so, what's wrong with it?

    If you have a very credible investment plan, with timelines and rates of return, then focus on investing the money. Use the earnings later on to buy a car. A not-so-hands-on investor with ₱1,000,000 can easily make another ₱1,000,000 in 5 years.

    Now if you don't have a concrete investment plan, don't even think about getting a car because that's practically just throwing money away.

    Masarap magka-kotse, pero mas masarap magkapera.

    Hi guys! Share ko lang yung experience ko when I bought my 1996 Toyota Corolla Gli M/T (Big Body)

    May nakita ako sa facebook marketplace last Sept 2018 na 1996 na Big body Gli. Around a few months before that, nagreresearch na talaga ako if ano mas okay, Big body na Gli, since hanap ko sa auto nun is basta power windows, power steering, maganda aircon, okay makina, at okay suspension. I was choosing between Big Body na Gli and Lovelife na XE (Since may lovelife XE na may power windows, pero sobrang rare siya and 1.3 carb engine). So ayun, first prospect ko is malapit lang sa village namin. Chineck namin ni erpats yung Big Body Gli malapit sa amin, chineck lahat pati body works, kaso may isang sabit: Pag-bukas ng oil cap, talsikan lahat ng langis, so malamang may blowby. Ekis.


    So yung second prospect namin, pinuntahan namin. Big Body Gli rin. Okay makina, okay suspension, okay aircon. Overall okay naman. May minor issues lang like putol trunk cable, putol odometer, pero at least it wouldn't stop from running the car naman. May napansin lang kami, may talsik ng onti sa engine bay, pero sabi namin, sige okay lang. Budget ko was around 100-130k. Initial price was at 115k, eh yung nakita naming talsik sa engine, ginamit naming leverage para makatawad. Ayun, nakuha namin 100k, pirma DOS, bigay OR/CR, abot pera, tapos :D



    Nung dinala sa shop, kala na namin overhaul, kasi yun yung ginamit naming pang-barat sa seller. yun pala, Spark plug o-ring lang kailangan palitan :D Quick fix :D 1,000 lang binayad ko kasama na labor at pyesa hehe.

    Until now buhay na buhay pa rin yung Corolla gli ko :D Really loved it, medyo steal rin yung price since di ako binigyan ng sakit ng ulo, puro pang-ilalim lang pinagawa ko so far Nadala ko na sa Zambales, Baguio, and La Union ang beloved Corolla ko Very happy with Toyota reliability and durability hehehe.

    Thanks sir for your remarkable insights. Appreciate it.
    Especially the last part, hehe. Totoong mas masarap magkapera.

    My family has a 90's sedan which served us well but already sold it away..
    When i got married, i only settled for just a motorcycle going for work.
    By the time i got kids, a scooter won't now benefit a family of four.
    Tried to buy a very cheap old school sedan and a minivan multi cab, but it only ended giving me headaches and disappointments. So got rid of them and started saving instead.

    Short story,we became small entrepreneurs and we're doing well(internet cafe,buying and selling computers, and other online stuffs). Now i'm thinking of buying even just a Hatchback for affordability and efficiency.
    Will be used overall for business and some family trips.
    My scooter can still accommodate but obviously not for a family hehe.
    With a bad history of owning some in the past, made me come into this crossroad.

    Anyway, i'm reading threads similar to this dilemma.
    Sometimes the needs now dominates over the wants.
    Again thanks for the advice. More Power!!
