    you going to rev it 10X of course your gonna smell gas or smoke...

    Just to add base sa personal experience ko when i bought a 2nd hand car last yr.:

    1. After 1 week replaced evaporator dahil may butas di lumalamig.
    2. Replaced tie rods and ball joints dahil iba ang nakakabit imbes na pang corolla pang FX(yung tie rod yata) hehe..
    3. After 2 months yung brake caliper sa front pareho nag stock up
    4. After 4 months overhaul ng radiator dahil bigla nagka leak
    5. After 5 months palit ng tires dahil luma na pala lahat diko napansin nun binili ko dahil naka tire black, and ito pinaka mahal dahil naka 17" yung rim
    6. Nagpapalit na rin ako ng timing belt para makasiguro dahil baka luma na hirap na masiraan ng makina.

    And so on and so forth and still counting...(yung mga minor repairs) buti na lang big body corolla nabili ko kaya medyo mura yung mga parts.

    Kaya sana wish ko lang next car ko brand new na hehe..

    brand new mas ok...wala ng question don but if you are still planning to get a 2nd hand car make sure you have at least 20k-30K php for repairs... also make sure you have a trusted and a good mechanic. Tendncy kasi even if you get it in a good condition... some parts are already worn out... unti unting lalabas ika nga nila... Im still using a second hand car Honda Esi 94 efi engine which i bought 3 years ago... The only reason I still have the car is because of sentimental value... sometimes you'll feel like quitting because of some problems... sa iba naman parang end of the world na pag nasiraan... but after that you'll feel very happy with your car.. good luck..

    btw toyota mas madali maintain... hehehe. parts ng honda mahal but it lasts longer... its up to you

    Bro ako nung unang bili ko ng auto 2nd hand din pero wala pang 1 year binenta ko na kaagad yung lancer pizza na nabili ko kasi ang problema kapag 2nd hand madalas nasa talyer! :D kaya iba talaga kapag brandnew yung oto na mabibili mo, maintenance mo lang alagaan mo sa pagchange oil at palit ng mga kinakailangan palitan na pyesa. may maintenance chart naman yung oto kaya babase ka din sa chart. bawas sakit sa ulo din kapag brandnew, tsaka yung mga sabit-sabit o gasgas wag ka na manghinayang kasi di talaga maiiwasan. kapag nakapark yan sa public may mga tao talagang pasaway na gagasgasan ang oto mo. wala ka talaga kalaban-laban sa ganon, goodluck at sana kung mahihigit pa ng kaunti yung budget kung talagang 2nd hand pa din kuha ka ng mga oto na year 2004 up para medyo fresh pa din! ;) goodluck,
