one that lasts. (sounds like a commercial eh..)

2. what should i expect in that car?

welcome to tsikot denart! i'm sure maraming magre- response sa mga
tanong mo. abangan mo na lang.

what should i expect in that car?

hmm.. sadly, not much I suppose..

seriously, if you're getting a car for that price, you have to check the mileage, the engine and everything around it.

I guess if you get a that car for that price, you're going to spend additional moolah for repairs and upgrades. But whatever works, di ba? it won't be long but i bet you'll be hankering for more...

If ever, try to increase your budget in the 100-120K range. medyo palaban na.

hope this helps.

sa akin sir, suggest ko lang if you really keen to buy gud 2nd hand car eh medyo taasan mo budget mo ksi mhirap mkahanap with the price around 80K only...

[denart]

ey thanks for the fast replies guys! cge lets say na upto a 100k ang budget. what type of cars should i look for? im not into upgrading/mods the car just yet. i juz need one for the family. i dont expect that much in a 2nd hand car within that price range. i guess as long as everything is working, ex.. AC, locks, windows, wiper, etc.. its fine.

hmmm...corolla 89-92, XL

[KCboy]

buy kana lang ng owner, masreliable pa. kasi i tink if pipilitin mo sa budget mo, u might end up buying a clonker car that u will spend on repairs.

[ghosthunter]

with a sub-100K budget range, its kinda hard not to end up with an old clunker where you'll be spending more money just to keep it running. Increasing your budget to around 120-150K will get you a much better deal of a car.

100k? may makukuha ka pa, pero the condition is really not good.
among of the examples:

89-91 Corolla XL4 o XL5.
89-91 Lancer Singkit EL/GL
Lancer Boxtype?
Nissan Sentra na boxtype (sakit sa ulo neto...)
Kia Pride CD-5/LX.
Dihatsu Charade.
Fiat Uno


OT: why not buy a big bike instead... hehehe. just kidding...

[BlueBimmer]

for that budget i suggest a kia pride, parts r dirt cheap. it would be perfect for u.

[the_wildthing]

There's a thread on sub-100K cars... Lancer boxtype is one. Not a big fan though, pero shoot, for 55-60K, plus 20K in repairs, it will probably make it driveable/bearable enough. ;)

[odell]

my suggestion would be a VW beetle :D alam ko mga 30K-50K lang ito second hand.. reliable naman... hehehehe..

[1997]

Sa tingin ko Pride na lang. A friend told me that parts are very easy to find and very easy to kalikot. spend 70K for the car and 10K for the parts need to be replaced or repair.

[caloyski5]

kia pride din sakin..you could get mid 90s hatch na niyan

second choice would be a roll ae92 xl

[ET1]

I agree with caloyski5 and 1997, Pride would be the best choice with a P100k budget. Parts are cheap and their readily available.

[BlueBimmer]

if i recall correctly, i had a complete dealer price list of korean parts for pride, starex etc and i remember the pride's price list were extremely cheap, it seldom reached 1k, almost all parts were always in the P300-P700 range. it is really cheap to maintain.

[jim]

kia pride or owner type!!! yung 80K mo pasok na yun

[denart]

100k? may makukuha ka pa, pero the condition is really not good.
among of the examples:

89-91 Corolla XL4 o XL5.
89-91 Lancer Singkit EL/GL
Lancer Boxtype?
Nissan Sentra na boxtype (sakit sa ulo neto...)
Kia Pride CD-5/LX.
Dihatsu Charade.
Fiat Uno


OT: why not buy a big bike instead... hehehe. just kidding...

thanks for the options sa cars pre.

and by the way, i do have a sportbike also. ;)

[denart]

ok.. so majority says kia pride.. ok.. question, how about the charade ung parang civic na hatch? ok ba un? parts availability, etc.. type ko rin ung corolla 89-91. but dude, no way for the owner. lancer would be ok din siguro.. what do you think are the pros and cons of this cars?

[Tacoma_34]

bro, increase mo budget mo 180K-200K, sayang eh sirang sira lang ang mabibili mo sa 80K.
