Do you guys really think na we also have this "cold starting" phenomena. Maybe in baguio, but in most places in the PI, temperature only drops down to maybe 23 or 24.

Before I go OT here..it would be hard to determine if a pre-owned car has been through a lot of short trips where the engine has'nt really warmed up yet. Knowing the owner helps (check the distance from his residence and work place might help).
