Bought a 22 year old car last year. The car is a 96 Corolla Gli. Swertehan lang talaga sa pag-pili ng sasakyan. Kailangan rin talaga mag-dala ka ng mekaniko to check everything, from body to engine to suspension. Yun sa akin, medyo may red flag kasi parang flooded unit. nung pag-baklas ng sidings may putik sa loob, indicating na binaha yung unit. Pero nakakapagtaka is, okay na okay yung engine, as in walang issue. Kayang kaya pa ngang humataw hanggang 165 kph sa TPLEX! Of course, there are minor issues, pero if your main purpose is na maidala ka from point A to point B, that shouldn't be a problem.

Common answer talaga corolla big body edition.. Kaya we still have our 1996 corolla xe. Bought it from my mom when I had the means. Got it brand new. Changed all the rubber parts in engine bay (kahit di sira, preventive lang, and got genuine parts when I can) and some REALLY small things. Only big items I had replaced where wheels, tires, some rear suspension work and clutch. Only needs paintwork now but cant schedule it yet since I still love driving it around almost everyday, kahit may iba pang pwedeng gamitin. Only downside is that new mechanics are not too careful fixing it (buti ma lang hindi sirain) kaya kailangan bantayan, unless dun sa mga kilala ko na noon pa.

That's why I don't wanna buy a used vehicle na I don't personally know the owner.

When I sold my car 18 yr old car in 2014, I made sure that the car had no issues. Ayokong may masabi sakin yung buyer.

The worst flooding it was driven on when it was fairly new was a little above gutter deep somewhere in Pasong Tamo (very notorious for floods) Also, I think that's one reason why the buyer wanted the car kasi sure na never flooded.

Maybe it helps minimize the risk if you buy from a first owner who live in areas that don't flood?

I think anybody who has the budget will opt for a brand new car. Pero for those who have very limited funds (like me) and really need a car not just for luxury....no choice but go for a 2nd hand car.

Hi mga Sir experts jan! Good day to you all! I am currently looking for a second hand car and I only have a very limited budget (120k to 160k). The reason why I doing this is because I have a wife and two kids below 10 yrs old. I only have a motorcycle and obviously that will not work for all of us.

Bibili lang naman ako ng car para lang may magamit pag kasama sila and this will only happen maybe once a week or every other week....or even longer interval. Hindi ko ito pang everyday use.

Meron po ako nakitang within my budget like Ford Lynx 2003, 2005, Nissan sentra 2001-2005, Toyota Camry 2002 and the likes....

Based on my very limitted, humble knowledge in engines...cars in general...common sense...I would say na yun quality nila ay ok pa din.

Can you please give me some advice regarding this? How about the spare parts...mahirap pa din po ba maghanap?

Maraming salamat po!

May mga reply na po ilan samin, please backread to page 3 sir. Marami din sumagot sa query nyo.

Good luck, drive safe.

you're in a tough spot, sir.
a car that old and in that price range, is sure to need repair at various levels.
while good buys in that range are still possible, chances are, gagastos pa kayo sa pag papagawa.
an honest, knowledgeable mechanic is nice to bring, even if you have to pay him. he can save you money. but personally, i do not know where to get one.

my recommendation is, the simpler cars. corolla glis.. sentra efis..
and avoid ex-taxis at all cost.
good luck.

Thank you so much for your advice. Will take this into consideration.

If you are buying a car that is more than a decade old, i think it's much preferrable to look for a unit that came from an original owner who bought that car as brand new rather than buying it from a 2nd, 3rd owner or so on because of the different ways in how they used and maintained the car during the respective periods in which they owned them. However, for a car that old, it's becoming increasingly rare to have sight on a unit that is still originally owned and not all sellers are good at keeping them. That is why we check their conditions first and pick the ones that have low mileage with none or just little issues, if any exists, so that we won't have a unit that can give us a headache or one that can make holes in our pockets. As much as possible, choose something that is preserved rather than going for the ones that are just restored.

Btw, this article might help you in looking for an old car. Very nice to read, indeed.

This is a very helpful advise for people like me who is now looking for a second hand "budget meal" car

[Noel_tskot]

18-20 year old na sedan ang balak mo sir?

Medyo sugal nga yan, halos lahat ng sasakyan na ganyan nang edad may kailangan ng papagawa, especially sa budget mo. Di bale sana kung fully restored, pero hindi papasok sa budget po nyo.

Suspension palang siguradong may papagawa ka na. Engine, aircon, etc. after 15 years may tagas na karamihan.

Kahit sabihin nating hindi nila ginagamit yung sasakyan at nasa garahe lang, magkaka leaking issues din yan kasi tumitigas mga oil seals pag hindi nagagamit regularly yung sasakyan.

Kung papagawa mo, I would suggest a Toyota Corolla, para hindi ka mahirapan sa pyesa, Nissan Sentra marami narin sa mga auto supply/ surplus parts stores.

Good luck po at sana malakas ka kay Lord para makahanap ka ng swak sa pera mo.

Salamat po sa advise. Pagdasal nyo din po ako

^ Honda Civic or toyota Corolla na 20 yr. Old pagpilian mo basta ipacheck mo mabuti SA mekaniko bago mo bilhin.
Madali Lang mga pyesa Nyan Ang mumura pa...
