Ingat lng sa pagbili ng kotse!

[pnp88]

Guys! Beware of agents sa mga bentahan ng kotse lalo na yng mga 2nd hand cars. They'll try to tell you everything para lang maibenta nila yng kontse. Don't trust agents at every word they say kasi yng iba masyado magaling mangbola. It's like garapalan na yng panloloko na ginagawa. kaya ingat nlng mga guys!

For example, tinanong mo kng free from accidents yng car tpos sasabihin nila oo while knowing for a fact na may bangga nga, tpos nung pinarepaint mo na nakita mo puro retoke pala dahil nga may bangga, sympre nakakainis din yng mga ganon at wla kang habol dahil nabili mo na yng car.

*This is not applicable to all agents as some of them are really honest when it comes to selling cars. pero I just want to tell you guys na magingat lng sa pagbili ng cars lalo na yng isang bentahan dyan sa Pasig area dahil sobrang manloloko yng agent dun. This is from an experience of my friend and we do not want more people to be victimized.

[box_type]

care to name the exact place and the name of the agent? if possible...

[woulfe27]

si randy ortiz ba sa goldpark? bwehehe

[dynamo1131]

san dito sa pasig yan bro?

[coiter]

I think that's a given to anything being sold 2nd hand at may tawaran.

[leinahtan]

Alam nyo ba kung ano ang unang tinitingnan ng agents sa exterior ng 2/H cars? Yung panel edges. They will run their fingers along the edges, pag smooth, walang damage history. Pag rough, meron damage history. Y? panel edges can't be reached by sprays/polishers when repainted. Try to run your fingers along the panel edges of a car without any accident history, you'll feel the difference. (parang commercial).

May suking agent din kami sa Goldpark [since we rarely buy new cars]

Pero don't trust them when it comes to vehicle history kasi hindi naman talaga sila gumamit ng mga sasakyan na iyan.

The advantage with established pre-owned car dealers is hindi sila humahawak ng nakaw. May mga bata sila sa LTO to verify vehicle identities. Kasi if they sell a hot car, sira ang rep nila sa used-car industry [and it's a pretty big industry].

Guys! I do not want to name that place and that agent as to give him and his place some dignity.

Someone from autolink.ph made a comment that what I said was a bad attitude and that board should be left to educated men with good intentions.

I believe that warning people to be careful is a good intention as not to be fooled by those agents. This was not based on some kwentong barbero but it was based on a friend's experience who was fooled by that agent and I do not want this to happen to anyone as buying cars is not a small amount to spend on.

Thanks guys for understanding what I am trying to say as you are well educated and not judging me on something that really had happened.

Sir Otep, nice comment about the vehicle history.

Sir leinathan, thanks for the tips!

Sir Coiter, yes that is given na gagawin nila kng ano yng dpat para mabenta pero yng panloloko is a big no no. Sana naman they can be honest in selling these cars kasi kahit may tawaran don't fool your customers as it is better to maintain old customers than to have new ones, who you are not sure to have customer loyalty.

Like Sir otep, who has a suking agents. HIndi ba mas gugustuhin yun nung agent kasi parati syang babalikan ng customer and he can have referrals that an agent who you hate because naloko ka at sisiraan mo dahil sa isang bagay then masisiraan din sya sa ibang mga tao.

might as well post the name and company na lang para maiwasan na, or at the very least give us a clue (yung madaling hulaan ha)..

kasi kundi mo sasabihin, madadamay lahat ng agents and dealers from pasig including the honest ones w/c is unfair for them naman..

[monmag]

Sir Coiter, yes that is given na gagawin nila kng ano yng dpat para mabenta pero yng panloloko is a big no no.

i think what is given is yong pag-iingat sa pagbili. Caveat emptor ika nga. Di
naman lahat ng seller ay manloloko.

Bring a magnet. Pag di na kumabit sa chassis yon... e masilya.
Tap the chassis. Pag yero tunog, ok. Pag blunt (parang kahoy)...e masilya.
At pag may masilya, me brp ng ginawa don.

Wow dyan pa naman ako malimit tumingin ng Used Car...

[leinahtan]

Wow dyan pa naman ako malimit tumingin ng Used Car...

Ha ha! muntik na kong makabili dyan ng corolla. Few years back, i went there to scout for a vehicle of interest. I found this corolla, I couldnt remember the variant. The price was tagged as P200k. Nice and clean interior, newly detailed. Well of course all the vehicles for sale there has to be pristine in and out. To cut the story short, I started the engine, switch on all lights including the ac. Well, everything was working, I should say. Without turning off the ac and the lights, I switched off the engine. After a few seconds, I switched the engine on again. This time it wouldn't start. 2nd and 3rd tries are just the same. The owner approach me and said "Sir, that's not the proper way to start the engine. You have to turn the ac, lights and the stereo off." I shrugged it off and said " If this car is in top condition, starting won't be a problem even if the electrical accessories are on." I turned back and never returned.

pag used car dealer talaga, beware ka

these are sold on an "as is, where is" basis so unless may warranty na binigay ang agent (which more often than not ay WALA), its is really buyer's risk

better to buy a used car from a friend. or a used car dealer recommended by a friend

kung medyo bago bago pa ang kotse (i.e. less than 4 years old), may record pa yan siguro yan sa casa

[pnp88]

Mga sir, if you really want to know the place then I'm going to tell you but do not say anything negative about me as it is the truth.

If it is wrong to mention the place then moderators please erase my post so as not to violate this forum.

*St. Paul Please pray for them

sorry sir kng hndi ko naintindihan yng post ni sir coiter and i'm not saying all just a few lng naman. We have heard some experiences of other forumers and we must be careful.

Better check the brand new car dealers if they have pre-owned cars for sale. Most likely, na check na nila yun and are familiar with the service history of the cars. Mostly are trade-ins they got from their buyers.

[nugundam93]

true, pre-owned cars from dealers are starting to look more okay.

kaya lang few offer that dito diba? i've only seen mercedes and bmw do that. what about other brands?
