If I'm not mistaken, mga 4.5k bili ko last 2006. Sandali ko lang nagamit kasi nagpa-smoke na ako.

nagliligpit ako sa bodega over the weekend and nakita ko yung original lip spoiler and side skirts ng 2006 optra ko na binaklas ko before i returned the car to the company, baka may interested to buy. I think in 2006 magpalagay nun sa Optra dealership is around P28K. The color is yung very common na medyo Gold. For the price bahala na kayo to quote wag lang "law baller" masyado, then nego na lang siguro. Kung okay na kagad your quote then close kagad ang deal. Just send me PM.

Thanks.

may picture ka bro?

Optra 2006 manual pre-owned price range is 300K (+-50K). Depending also on mileage and condition.

Right now we are upgrading our pricing for the trade-in value. The price of the Optras are improving. Look at the papers and sulit.com.

Hi All,

Tried to backtrack randomly on this thread para maghanap kung bakit laging may black dust (not sure kung galing sa brake pads) yung front mag wheels nung optra but was not lucky to see any. Any ideas and how to fix it?
TIA!

This is normal sir due to the dust produced by the brake pads. This is true to all new models and brands as the pad material is mandated by global standard.

Just clean it more often.

[ryamvill]

Thanks Sir awallit! nothing to worry then. Cheers!

Sir ryamvill,

About 2 years ago, before I sold my 04 Optra, I had changed the brake pads myself on the rear tyre. Tama si Sir Awallit. This is because the material used on the brake pads available locally is made from a fibrous material. The pads that I bought myself outside of GM was made in Australia ( GM-Holden ) and was of a better quality. Since that time, the dust was only on the front mags but the rear mags was clean.

Try to canvas around (Thunder or Banawe). The pads that I bought then came in a Light blue or Aquamarine color box and at that time was around P3K+

[ryamvill]

Hi Sir ChevyChaser,

This will be noted. Once it needs to be replaced, ill look for pads you mentioned. And may kamahalan din naman sa casa nung nagpapalit ako.

Thanks!

That trade in value is already upgraded? IMO, I don't think the price of Optras are improving. It's hard to sell Optras talagang binabarat.

Imagine your dealership quoted 150k for our 2003 M/T with 60k mileage. Then now you quoted my 2005 A/T 1.8LT for 250k. That's after quoting me P60,000 for repairs. Mileage is around 45,000 palang pero so many things are being recommended to be changed.

Timing belt, water pump, idler, drivebelt, tensioner, rack and pinion. Was quoted 61,000 for that. Wow. And we just had the valve cover gasket replaced last service now Chevy Pasig is quoting me again that it needs to be replaced.

We won't buy another Chevrolet car again. Hopefully Cruze owners won't experience the same thing.

sir, sa casa mga around 3K din lang ang set ng optra brake pads. kakapalit ko lang 2 weeks ago.

btw, how often should the brake pads be replaced? casa says every 20,000 kms?

nakakainggit na there are some who managed to squeeze more fuel efficiency out of their optras.. ako siguro suko na.. i own a '09 A/T and i've tried everything even the reprogramming thing, done by chev q-ave, where i got my unit, and they insist that nothing is wrong w/ my car.. wala pa ding nangyari.. i was hoping fc would be better after the first 10k pms, now i'm already over 13k but i'm still getting 6.7km/l.. i work during the night, 15 mins to and from the office, not much traffic.. pag umaalis naman ang family, usually slex ang daan going south, la din halos traffic.. para na din akong may itlog sa gitna ng paa and ng pedal, not going over 2000rpm.. and the only time my speed reaches the 100kph mark and usually not that much over is when on the highway.. i think i messed up when i decided to get the car.. handling and ride, wala akong reklamo, quite good actually, but it's not that much of a wow factor for me to just ignore the ridiculous fc.. i guess bentang palugi na ang mangyayari kesa patagalin ko kalbaryo.. and i've known more people w/ the same issues than those getting good fc.. something to think about before getting one of these.. i wonder how the Cruze is sa fc? even though that car i think has the wow factor, it better be really really good for me to even consider a chev again..

15 minutes is a very short drive. Don't expect good fuel economy from a commute like that.

If you really want to know what the car is capable of, do a micro-eco run. If you live south, you can do one from Shell southbound on the SLEX, turn around at Cabuyao exit (avoid the traffic at Calamba exit) then turn around again at Susana Heights (a little traffic, but it's not bad) and fill up again at Shell. You should get around 14-16 km/l if the car is in good condition.

Yung Optra namin nag graduate sa amin 51K odo, mas matipid parin yung 2.4Li 4X4 CR-V sa city driving.

Pero sa highway driving talagang matipid yung Optra.

Kaso mas matipid parin yung Civic 1.8S ko noon haha

Tapos 2 weeks ago nakita ko yung Optra namin, naka park sa Robinsons. :cry:

Parang hindi inaalagaan nung new owner. May scratches nanaman sa front bumper

hindi lang dyan sa pilipinas nakakaencounter ng problema ang optra,, kalalabas lng ng optra ko last july 2010 dito sa qatar,, nakarinig agad ako ng ingay sa transm2n sa mileage na 1000km.. buti na lng 5yrs waranty kay walang gastos...

[joseph_abri]

how do i check the source of my car's overheat problem, its a chevy optra... here: the temperature rises up to almost 3/4 or even higher of the temp gauge... even with a bit short distances. it is gulping water every trip. it just happened a couple of days ago, both fans (auxiliary and radiator) working, replaced the auxiliary fan lately, and the thermostat... there is extreme steam pressure in the upper radiator, its hotter than the other hose, based from my touch, (this is where the thermostat is located), a day ago, there was steam coming out of the radiator reserve cap, replaced the cap now its ok, when i replaced the aux fan yesterday i removed and returned the upper rad hose connecting to the radiator, and clamped it, perhaps the clamp is not sealed enough as of today i can feel the steam pressure escaping from the hose that is connected to the radiator, might come back to the mechanic who put them yesteday to tighten the clamp... but i am not sure if that solves it, because there is still the overheat problem to think of,. how do i solve it...

the rad months ago was replaced along with the aux fan and thermostat not more than 3 months ago, with chevy service center, if it continues heating the engine it might destroy the engine so i wanna pinpoint the problem.. and diagnose it correctly, i dont like the idea of replacing everything, just to make it work... if one can diagnose where is the source, well be answering the problem right on..

I owned a 2004 Optra 1.6L which i bought brand new from the casa in 2004. The chevy dealers have a promo up to Dec 31, 2010 for replacing the timing belt and tensioner for only P5.500+. My question is, would you have it changed considering that it has only runned for 30200km?. PLEASE ADVISE, Tsikoteers. thanks
