Buying a 1st gen CR-V (buy and sell)

**Chikselog** · December 22nd, 2009 01:53 PM

Honda experts I need your opinion..Ano po ba ang mga dapat tignan sa pagbili ng 2nd hand na CR-V A/T? Di raw ito nabaha accdg. sa owner na kakilala namin but syempre gusto rin namin makasigurado..Saang credible auto shops pwedeng patignan ito?

TIA

Best siguro if may kakilala kang mechanic na pinagkakatiwalaan mo.

Test drive mo din.

- Check if may rattles
- Try mo ihataw lagpas 100kph, then look mo if may rattles ... -> usually dito lumalabas ang wiggles.
- Check mo din tuloy yung aircon
- Check mo lahat ng electrical stuff - power windows, keyless entry, alarm etc.
- Check mo if tama yung idle speed niya
- Yung steering nito.
- Check mo records
- Registration niya

yung iba pacheck mo na sa mekaniko ;)

HTH.

Thanks for the quick reply sir renzo

BTW ano po yung idle speed? Yun po ba yung sa kapag D mode tapos idle lang? What is the correct idle speed po? What about sa makina, paano po namin malalaman kung dapat na bang i-change oil pati na rin yung ATF?

Tsaka nga po pala, di pa po namin nakukuha yung CR-V, di ko pa po alam sa dad ko kung kailan niya kukunin hehe, just making sure lang po kasi most likely kukunin na niya eh

300k po ang quote sa kanya..kakilala kasi

Normal idle speed is 800rpm

About the ATF fluid, I think it should be changed upon reaching a specific number of kilometers and meron din yatang kulay , to know if you should change it or not. Brownish ata pag kailangan na palitan ( unsure about this tho'. Haven't owned an A/T car )

w/ regards to ATF, ask mo when sila nagpalit.. normally, every 40K kms. Sa engine oil naman, ask mo din when yung latest change oil. although, para sigurdo ka pde mo na agad pachange once makuha mo. better if they have records... ask mo na rin baka meron. ay, isa pa pala, yung timing belt/chain... ask mo na rin...
