welcome to tsikot denart! i'm sure maraming magre- response sa mga

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...

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

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** · April 26th, 2005 08:33 AM

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...
