    May mga nakikita po akong pre-owned Honda City 1.3 A/T Exi 1997/98 model na nasa 170-185k

    at 2000-2001 model Type Z, etc. na 1.3 A/T at 220-230k

    Good buy pa po ba itong mga to speaking of parts, maintenance, etc.? Fuel effecient naman po ito kasi 1.3?

    Just want to see your insights guys.

    As long as mechanically sound, take it.

    I agree with V6dreamer...important thing is the condition and history of the vehicle...mas ok if you buy directly from the owner and not from a used car dealer...the price is within the range but you can still haggle if you you buy it from the former...good luck.

    Salamat sa replies. So hahanap ako na owner tlaga ang nagbebenta at usisain ang history ng car, sana well maintained or CASA maintained.

    Mga nakikita ko po nasa 80,000-120,000 mileage pag hindi mainitained ng maayos baka kelangan na pa-overhaul? Atsaka pag matanda na model na yung car kahit 1.3 displacement medyo malakas na po sa gas?

    peyups, hindi porke sa owner ka bibili eh ok na ang sasakyan. Dealer man or the owner pareho lang yan, just follow the basic kung pano kilatisin ang oto.
    1. Tambutso dapat kulay abo at paghinipo ay parang alikabok. Pag malagkit na maitim, dontbuy the car.
    2. Buklatin ang mga karpet, dapat alang kalawang sa sahig pati sa compartment. Pati sa mga tagiliran ng pinto at sa gilid ng windshield. Ang kotseng may mga kalawang ay di na dapat binibili kc cguradong malinaw na 30k above for the body repair and repaint. Ang masakit d2, di mo na mapipigilan ang pagpapabalik balik ng kalawang.
    3. Dashboard - pag ang dashboard ay malinis reflecton na iyan ng may ari. Ibig sabihin pati sa buong kotse maayos yan. Pero pag puro stufftoys at mga glue ang nakita mo sa dash, wag mo na bilhin.
    4. Wag kang titingin ng car sa gabi, dapat sa early morning ka mangingilatis. Paandarin mo sa morning, dapat moist ang tambutso pagkastart ng about 3 to 10 minutes.

    I have a good experience with the type Z 1.3 a/t city before i sold it.
    It has great power and can rev to 6K rpm without any problem. With only 1 pax it accelerates great due to its light weight. It offers great agility and maneuverability, it responds well to steering input. It has great all around visibility. It does have a nasty shift shock, also it is not that well designed for rollovers (thin roof beams).

    we had a City '98 LXi A/T

    very very matipid sa gas. maybe comparable to the petron xtra challenge thing.
    very lightweight and accelerates well on light load. very maneuverable - parang laruan.
    very trusty. but yes it has a nasty shift shock. ramdam talaga ang pag-shift nya. but the A/T itself is good. shifts well and on time.

    i forgot to add, it has a great turning circle. more than enough for you to get in and out of tight spots and u-turns

    Salamat sa feedbacks mukhang ok ang feedbacks a.`, yun nga lang andaming dapat iconsider pag bibili ng 2nd hand na sasakyan tulad ng sabi ni mm15744, dami pa ttingnan. Kelangan ko pa i-equip ang knowledge ko kasi di ko pa rin masyado alam ang process ng deed of sale, change name para sa kin nakapangalan ang auto, pagpapatsek ng oto baka carnap, etc. etc. Ok ng alamin muna ang lahat bago sumabak sa gera. Ayoko may pagsisihan sa huli.

    Kudos to you guys... for the mean time magbabasa basa ako ng process to buying 2nd hand cars, what to look for up to owning ang changing name. And pag sayo na pano alagaan, etc.. medyo newbie lang eh.

    how bout if im gonna use it sa mga long drive? I'm from Pangasinan although I work here in Manila, is this car capable for long drives specially with it's 1.3 engine? Sa expressway kaya mabilis po ba or ano max speed? I'm planning to buy 99-2000 civic kaso ang palaging nahahanap ng mga friends ng wife ko sa pangasinan is a 99 A/T City,2 months na kami nghahanap, pati d2 sa car finder,

    peyups20 - halos parehas pala tayo ng problem , mga newbie, , problem ko rin ang processing ng papers at kung papano tumingin ng magandang 2nd hand car, mechanic kasi na kakilala namin sa pangasinan pa kaya magastos kung papupuntahin ko d2, hehe..
