i would go for the city. its newer, plus better fuel consumption. easier to drive too for a newbie.

[stadaenko]

ako rin, get the city. its newer, tsaka at least pumatak na ng 2000's yung model, hindi 90's. the 20,000kms difference (from 87k to 66k) is also a big factor for most. am not sure if the 98 toyota is still the bigger body one but if it is, then the city is much smaller and easier to get used to.

[chain]

i'd go for the City. less mileage. try to haggle for a lower price though.

[j_avonni]

Negotiate for the reduction of the price from the 2 sellers. Whoever gives the lower price, yung ang kunin mo. If they give the same price or if the difference is just 5k or less, buy the City.

thanks to those who replied.

i also wanna ask if i consider the maintenance, spare parts costs and availability, which one is better?
coz ive heard that honda's spare parts are more expensive, and not always available unlike the toyota.

i mean this honda is a newer model than the corolla.
as per mileage is concern honda is better.
but if i will consider the future maintenance costs which one do you think is the better choice? i am not that familiar with that. i need pros' advice.

thanks again guys.

hehehe i know in your heart you like honda city because it is newer,lesser millage over toyota
but you are hesitant because of maintenance cost...i would suggest follow your heart and buy the city don't mind the cheaper maintenance of toyota it can be compensated by honda city's fuel efficiency.....

[froshie1]

City pre ang pipiliin ko.

[VtEC]

This time i will choose City.Fuel efficent yan.Ayaw kolang talaga appearance ng city.
Pero sa availability ng parts sa corolla parin ako.

[donski]

go for the city

its a myth....although toyotas and mitsus have more available parts, ganun din ang sa city/civic. price is a little bit higher for oems, but for replacements, parang ganun din.

get the city dude....

to add, my wife owns a 2000 city vti. wala naman kaming nagiging problema sa maintenance. i get parts from where i get parts for my lancer.

[zechks]

hello again.. thanks sa mga advice.
(buyong-buyo na ata ako sa city ah.. haha)

guys last tanong na lang to. i've seen this a while ago, i think this is better than the previous car i saw yesterday in the ads.

'98 corolla gli (parin)
-71k mileage (better than 87k)
-leather seat covers (init..haha)
-almost same stock features (airbags, abs, keyless entry, all power etc.)
-new changed oil, timing belt, PMS, break pads.
-selling for 255k neg.

compare po ulit dun sa city. alin po kaya mas ok.
my apologies if im quite makulit.
its my first time to buy a 2nd hand car.
i just want to maximize the value of my money.
marami pa kasi akong hindi alam about sa mga cars.
salamat po sa patience ng mga nagrereply dito.

p.s.
ano po meaning ng oems? (whatta noob.. lol)

thanks again. more power to the tsikoteers.

oops i forgot (edit ko nlng)

may nkita me ulit..
honda city type Z 1.3L 2000 model
-same price, same features
-50k+ mileage
-3rd hand nga lang.

although maganda yang rolla, dahil more powerful than the city, i would still go for the city, dahil mas newer ito.

oem means, original equipment manufacturer. or in plain lingo, original parts recommended and used by the manufacturer.

[stadaenko]

zechs, city pa rin dude, at least year 2000 na. pero ewan ko lang dun sa 3rd hand. limit mo options mo sa 2nd hand lang muna, mas safe.
