Question re: Mileage and Engine

[grantt]

mileage (high/low) is not a big deal sa mga 2nd hand vehicle. gaya nga ng sabi nila nadudugas na odo ngayon keanalog or digital pa yan...makina na lang makapagsabi kung okay pa ito.
magsama ka na lang trusted mechanic para tumingin sa sasakyan. konting silip at konting katok lang katapat nyan.
goodluck bro.

For me, buying a used car has always been a game of chance. Niky is right, there is no perfect engine and yes the first overhaul can come in the hundred thousands like in most Mercedes Benzes.

Even if I tagged along with me the best mechanic I know and gives me the thumbs-up to buy the car, there will always be at the back of my mind some doubt because we will never know the real state it is in until we actually get to drive it on a daily basis.

have the car checked by a mechanic before you buy it so you get a gauge on what you need to spend on. if the seller is decent naman he will be ok with the checkup since wala sya itinatago sayo.

Another thing.

Most of the people I know prefer to buy from Doctors because most of them have more than 1 or 2 cars in their stable. Pero di ba meron din mga doktor na poor mag maintain ng car?

Yep I agree. Ive seen an ad from another local auto website. the poster claims he can adjust the odometer; digital or analog. nakakatakot. so getting a low-mileage car is still not a guarantee of trouble free driving.

one of the ads of toyota is about reliablity.on the ads, some of the corollas has 300K, 250k on their gauge but still on good condition.

Mga bossing,

ask ako pala, how do you determine i the odometer has been tampered? Be it analog or digital. thanks

sir sa pagkaka alam ko, hindi na masyado naipapantay yung digits pag tampered na ang analog odo. pero pag digital there's no way na malaman..iba talaga pinoy! hintay pa tayo ng replies sa mga guru baka may iba pang ay para malaman..
