my advice is to look for a trusted mechanic. ask your family or friends if they know one. after finding a good and trusted mechanic, have him assess the car before buying. what my friend did was that he payed his mechanic to go around with him for a day to check out the 2nd hand cars. so far his car has performed very well. mahirap kasi mag assess kung wala kang experience.

tama si yellow for hindi maeexplain dito sa threads lahat. much better kung may actual site inspection so you can see the engine, feel how it runs and hear how it sounds.

wala lang sense of taste and smell ah... hehehehe.

pinaka maganda nyan mag-sama ka ng trusted mong mekaniko para makita ang kondisyon ng makina pagbibili at para makita na rin ang indication ng makina binuksan na'to na inorverhaul na yan, ok lang kung inorvehaul na pero ang nakakabahala lang kung maganda ba ang pagkakaoverhaul kasi baka mamaya nyan trabahong balbon ang pagkakaoverhaul ng mapipili mong makina, ika-nga minadali or hindi detalyado ang pagkakagawa.

pero ang pagbili ng surplus na makina medyo sapalaran din kasi baka mamaya nyan kasi kahit sabihin pa natin galing japan yan meron kasi ibang nagbebenta nyan ginagawa kapag may nakursunadahan makina na parating galing japan ay ginagamit muna tapos kapag meron mas updated na makina yung naman ang ilalagay tapos yung ginamit nya na unang makina na unang japan surplus ay yun naman ang tatanggalin nya para ibenta nya so lumalabas na pinoy surplus na yan saka pag pinoy surplus dapat ang presyo na nyan medyo mura na.

so alam mo naman na pag ang engine code ng makinang ay nag simula sa P gaya ng PH or Pzjb ibig sabihin nyan dito lang sa pinas yan so lumalabas din na pinoy surplus yan.



meron naman yung galing sa EG kilala pgm-fi din pero VTEC na sya eto ang ang pinaka malakas na B16a sa lahat ng B16a

Be careful of;

1. Stolen cars. Check the documentation of the car.
2. Flooded cars. Unless nag-eenjoy ka gumastos endlessly over repairs. Very few (lalo na 2000 at newer models na cars) na nabaha na aandar pa ng maayos.

And do;

1. Bring someone who knows about cars. Have the engine checked.
2. Try to bring it to a workshop/car shop and try to have it assessed for repairs. Duon mo malalaman need mo pa-repair immediately and in the near future. (Shell, Petron, etc. may car care maintenance sila)
3. Test drive it in both city and hiway.
