    Hey guys I need your help! Advise please!! I'm trying to purchase a decent car, a 2008 Chevy Aveo from reposessed units of a bank. The problem is it has been stacked, the battery has been drained and the personnel discreetly advised me that the only problem is the fuel pump aside from the battery. because when the car arrived at the garage, it was still in running condition. Having no knowledge at all in cars and stuff like that, I really and badly need help. How much will it cost me for the replacement of this part? Can you please refer me to a good mechanic? Thank you much guys and I will appreciate any feedback.

    Nothing cheap when you have a 2nd hand car that does not have a good supply of surplus or even bnew oem spareparts.

    Pag bank repo dapat piliin yung running condition, since pag matagal nang naka tigil yung car mas maraming sira. While the Aveo is ok for the price, pili ka na lang ng running condition or yung kakapasok palang sa warehouse nila.

    Pili ka ng iba. Or bring a mechanic along to check the car's condition. Walang nagaalaga ng mga kotse na yan so be wary of any car which has been there a long time, kahit na trusted brand siguradong may sira na iba yan pag matagal nang naka tengga.

    Sir hindi ka ba nagtataka kung bakit alam ng bank personel na sira ung fuel pump?

    at papaano kung hindi pala pump ang sira?

    kasi bihira pong masira ang fuel pump..

    being a kimchi car you should be cautious already. being a car that was previously used/abused? be more wary, being that the car is not in running condition, buying it is like playing russian roulette with five rounds in the revolver.

    Hello po! Kailangan ko po sana ng tulong niyo.. Huhu.

    We bought a second hand Chevrolet Aveo 2011 with 22k mileage.
    Sa kasamaang palad, the fuel consumption is at 4.5km/L. Huhuhu. Sa makati po ako nagtatrabaho pero sa Laguna po umuuwi ng weekends. So 70% city 30% highway driving. Gusto ko na pong umiyak. Hehe. Magagawan pa po kaya ng paraan ito mga sir?

    Salamat po!

    Grabe nga aveo nyo, same din gamit ko d2 overseas pero sa akin 13km/L
    70%hway and 30% city.
    May nabasa ako dati sa forum ung iba pareset ng ecu? Dont know if thats really works. Malaking factor din kasi kapag heavy footed kang mgdrive, then always traffic thats it. One more thing kung matic pa car nyo.

    Better po kung iba nalang piliin nyo, since sa bank kayu kukuha sigurado multiple choice naman. Im using this aveo 2008 din ung sedan na 4 doors manual, i cant recomend. But not so bad naman, but if u have choice better choose other makes. Underpower cya as in, medyu matipid sa petrol. Masikip interior, parts nyan sa pinas malamang walaka mapagbilhan.

    Just add ons, issue on my aveo. Tumataas rpm nya, dati palagi ngayun parang nagsawa na paminsan minsan nalang. My times pa na pagka start eh aabot ng 4k rpm nya eh. Pinalitan kuna buong throttle body after 1 year balik s dati. Good thing its manual car kaya medyu natitiis ko pa cya. Haha
    Di nasolve ng casa dito at nang mga kilala kong batikan na mekaniko ang rpm problem na to.
