    Mukhang kulang ang budget for the cars of your choice. I just sold my Corolla XE '96 at P185 k. Just look at classified ads.

    Sure you can. It looks like you already have a bias over this ride. We have a 94 galant ss silver manual. Ganda porma, lakas makina, roomy, sporty, low maintenance but a certified GAS GUZZLER!!! Happy ka na ba sa 4-6 km/l? If you are happy na sa fuel consumption, go for it.

    Pero considering your tight budget, I will go for a Nissan because its cheaper and its easier na to buy parts. My service right now is a nissan and it serves me well at 9-10 km/l. As for my innova, I'm only using it for out of town trips during weekends coz talo ako sa city driving at 7-8 km/l while highway driving is 8-9 km/l.

    Be practical. Find a car that will serve you well and that which will not drain your pockets because of the price of fuel. Diesel engine vs. Gas? Depends sa frequency ng use mo sa ride. Why? Coz diesel engine cost more and mas marami kakainin na oil at 3 months oil change interval. Sa gas, you can in fact go as seldom as twice a year without any worry. Diesel engines may consume as much as 6 liters of oil. gas engines consume around 4 liters.

    Why frequency of use sa pag decide kung gas or diesel? Because sangkatutak na diesel ang dapat mong ma consume bago mo maramdaman ang tipid. Magkano na ba diesel ngayun 32? Gas 35? Difference of 3 pesos. Magkano isang liter ng semi-synthetic oil around P300 na lang for example. This means na you have to buy 200 liters of diesel before you can enjoy the P600 savings.

    Gas P35 x 100 liters = P7,000
    Diesel P32 x 100 liters = 6,400
    Difference = 600 (enough to allow you to buy the 2 liters of additional oil.

    Anyway, OT na. For a newbie car owner--go for NISSAN.

    Q. Gaanong kalayo naman ang mararating ng Php500 worth of gasoline compare sa Php500 worth of diesel?

    Hehehe. Diesel pa rin. :D

    Galant SS nasa 210-230k, 94-95 Accord would be around 200-270k (Estimate).

    Check online sites such as carfinder(buyandsellph) or autolink for some other choices. Also check the classifieds section here at tsikot or selling section in other forums such as hondaclub for more deals.

    For a budget of 170K, your choices will be limited.

    1992-1994 Corolla 1.6 GLi (AE101)
    1992-1995 Sentra 1.6 ECCS (B13)
    1993-1995 Lancer 1.6 GLXi

    I won't suggest the Mazda Familia 1.6 simply because it is a gas guzzler. Other than that fact, its a very nice car.

    Check the prices at http://www.buyandsellph.com/

    then i hesitate to know what you think about the Mazda 626!!! (which incidentally would also fit in the OP's budget)

    hello guys! due to some unavoidable circumstances, my budget suddenly depleted... i was hoping that some of you could help me look for a proper car for my very limited budget. i only got 125K, is it possible for me to find a nice and dependable car for that small budget? charade and kia is out of my option, for they may look awkward for me bcoz i'm a bit fat. can i get a '92 sentra eccs or '90-'92 corolla gl for 125K? my main concern is to get a reliable car that is power steering/window, very good running cond., smooth paint, very good body cond., fresh in/out, good suspension (walang kalampag), with cool a/c, and if possible, dressed with 15" mags. anyone who has something to share with me can text or call me on #0915-5672235. thank's in advance. and god bless to all motorist... drive safely...
