November 28th, 2010 07:19 AM #1I've been wondering if I'll buy the Aveo HB I saw posted in one of the ads. I've been going through the threads and looks like there are real issues with after market service and parts being so expensive. Any feedback would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

November 28th, 2010 09:39 AM #2How much is it? I own an '07 Aveo sedan and i'm very satisfied with it. Aftermarket parts are ok as long as you know where to buy. I just bought all my filters (oil, air, fuel, a/c) outside the casa. My oil change cost me 5k. That's already fully synthetic so i only need to change oil every 10k km.

November 28th, 2010 02:49 PM #3Hey thanks for getting back to me. It's selling at 265K, the owner got it 2008. I went to see it a while back and sariwa pa siya, it's good as new. I asked the owner, parts and service is not that hard, unlike before. I just do hope it's the real thing. by the way chief would you mind giving me a tip where do you get your aftermarket parts. Also I read in other articles in the internet about a timing belt that snaps before it reached 60K miles and damaging most parts of the engine to render it useles (either you change the engine or have it overhauled) that's one thing keeping me from getting the car, but other than that sariwang sariwa pa siya. thanks

November 28th, 2010 09:05 PM #4that is a bargain for a 2008 model, especially if it's A/T. just be sure there were no major repairs done on it.
about the parts, if you live in, live near, or if you often go to Manila, then you will have no problem. although i am only pertaining to maintenance parts like oil filters. i don't know if major parts are easy to find because i haven't experienced any major repairs yet. here's the shop:

Sorry my bad, car was purchased 2006 sold 2008 and then now sold to us 2010. *55,000 kms. So I guess I'll have to get the timing belt replaced ASAP. I don't want to end up breaking up the engine. Thank you for your recommendations. I'll have the oil changed and also the timing belt replaced.

December 8th, 2010 12:02 PM #9Service * Chevrolet Quezon Ave said that it will cost 13K for parts and wala pang labor yun. (I guess bite the bullet ako pag walang choice)
The previous owner said that they had it serviced at Juno cars (bad feedback) so I'm kinda hesitant to bring it dun.
Last option is to outsource the part either via online and then have it done by our trusty mechanic. Searched online DIY on how to replace the timing belt, and needs a special tool which will cost a fortune, buti nalang may work around.
Haven't checked pa din naman sa banawe for parts, hopefully meron.
Yes by the way pinableed ko yung rear right brake, yung master cylinder mismo walang part, good thing may "repair" kit. so far so good wala pa naman leak :D
