Honda Accord 96

[inno0508]

Hi mga Sir, I'm planning po to buy ung car na nirerecommend sakin ng friend ko which is Honda Accord 96. Medyo wala po ako talaga idea kung ok ung car na to. Magdadala na lang siguro ako ng mechanic para macheck din kung ok pa mga makina or kung ano man dapat icheck. Selling po pala ito for 130K php. Sakto na po ba ung price nya for that model? saka po gusto sana malaman kung ok din ba fuel consumption nito? at any comment po about the car? gagamitin ko sana everyday papasok sa office. thanks po mga sir.

automatic ba siya or manual sir?

kung matic iyan talagang malakas sa gas iyan. pag manual medyo matakaw pa din sa gas pero baka naman manageable na para sa inyo

kung alaga siya, i'd have to say maganda ang handling at ride nito. but considering it's an old car, be wary of the wear and tear problem its sure to have. sa palagay ko spare parts naman iyan isn't going to be much of a problem considering nagkalat na ngayon ang mga replacement, oem, and surplus parts ng honda from that decade

As of now onti palang info ko e, hindi ko rin sure kung matic or manual po siya. Well, both matic or manual naman ok sakin. Ang kaso medyo matakaw pala sa gas to. Mga ilan liters per kilometers kya ang consumption nya? 2.0 nga pala to sabi rin sakin friend ko. Mukhang mas malakas sa gas?

dream car ko yung accord since high school, now I have one, a 97 VTI-S 2.2L A/T. I have no regrets, pero na gulat din ako sa fuel consumption nya, may pagka bastos :P

and also since second hand, kahit na well maintained, meron pa din akong pina ayos na nakikita at na raramdaman ko habang tumatagal. Mas mahal mga parts nya compared to a Civic, pero marami naman available. Sa timing belt pa lang sa accord dalawa ang pinapalitan... at dalawang bearings din, buti isa lang water pump :P

its not cheap to maintain this car, thats for sure. but i love it and i enjoy restoring it back to what i want it to be ... wag lang makita ni misis yung bill

Ah ok, problem lang talaga dito is fuel consumption. Hehe. Nasa range po ba ung 130k php for this car? or overprice po yan?

I think mura na yan kung walang major issues. pa check mo lang ng mabuti baka naman may tinatago kaya mura. ask a lot of questions about the car's history, specifically collisions/accidents, past repairs and maintenance routines and ofcourse look for proof.

request if you can take it for a long drive before you buy, maganda sana kung tirik ang araw. hindi talaga enough yung 15 minute test drive, kung may sakit man yan, malaki ang chance na lalabas yun sa long drive, and para magka idea ka din sa FC.

plus 10 kay papa sleepsus

bring a trusted mechanic, test drive it under the scourging heat of the sun, kahit papunta tagaytay man lng para malaman kung hindi titirik o mag overheat...tas idaan mo sa mga may lubak na area pag hindi kumalampag at umalog..ok yan

Thanks sa mga advice nyo. Senxa ngayon ko lang ulit ito nadalaw since maintenance itong forum. Isa pa pala, taga Marikina ung nagbebenta. At nito nito ko lang naisip ung bagyong ondoy. Tinanong ko yung mayari pero hindi naman daw na-ondoy. Parang nagdadalawang isip tuloy ako bilhin.

today's small cars give 10-12 km per liter of gas.
the popular 1600 cc cars may give 8-10 km per liter.
your 2 liter accord will probably give 5-6 km/liter.
automatics typically consume 10% more gas than manuals..

pa baklas mo yung door card, tingnan mo kung may putik sa loob ... do your due diligence, other than that, trust your gut feel

130k na lang pala to. yup correct. 5 - 6km/l na nga lang siya ngayon. medjo magastos. not good if you work far from home. pero kung mga 10 - 12 kms one way, kasya 250 - 300.
