250k budget for a 2nd hand Honda,any recommendations?

[mccoy26]

Preferably a sedan,big enough for a family with 2 kids and is fuel efficient. I'm planning to sell my Big Body for a more powerful and a more recent one.

Thanks in advance.

Well if you're not picky an LXi or VTi 1999 - 2001 model civic will do.

let me see...

1996-1998 LXi and VTi civics go from 170-210 now... automatic/manual
1999-2000 LXi and VTi civics go from 220-280... a/t or m/t

going up the scale (and going up the fuel consumption too):
1996-1998 accord less than 250
1999-2001 accord less than 300
medyo malakas lang sa gas... parang naka adventure/revo. the good part is the interiors of these cars are so big your kids can play inside. fast and powerful engines too, at mas matibay ang pang-ilalim.

medyo beyond your budget ang 1st generation CRV... lowest i've seen is 310. eto sana maganda eh, compared to your old big body the interior is gigantic, at 4wd pa.

other cars you can get for 250 and less:

corolla lovelife yung pang taxi...180-250 (i own one, ang liit sa loob pero OK naman)
1996-1999 sentra exalta (lakas din sa gas pero sarap i-drive at ihataw)
1996-1998 nissan cefiro (parang revo sa gas pero anluwag sa loob)
1996-1997 toyota camry (lakas din sa gas, maluwag sa loob)

civic or kung hindi ka naman picky City po 2000-2004 model

manual 96-98 civic LXI. tipid sa gas, average ako ng 11km/l.

[ans_lim168]

A civic 96 to 2000 LXi manual would be a perfect choice.

kung honda is the brand of choice, LXi 99-00.

easy maintenance, fuel efficient, good comfort.

Your best bet is an EK Civic, 1996-2000.

Have ES Civics (2001-2005) hit the 250k barrier yet? Those might be worth considering if they have.

sir, imo, iextend nyo nalang yung budget nyo for an sir body na vti, 1999-2000 pero mas ok sana kung yung 2000 na. hehe. malakas hatak, masaya idrive, japorms.

283k kuha ko nung sakin, medyo mataas, pero hindi ko pinagsisihan, sariwa naman nakuha ko. may mga pinaayos pa ako sa suspension, pero tie rod, rack end at mga bushings pa lang naman, walang problema sa makina, aircon, transmission, etc

nung nag highway driving ako, i got almost 14.5km/L kaya cguro 15, kaso hinarurot ko kasi, umabot ako 180kph sa sctex, hehehe. city driving, hindi ako bumababa ng 10km/L.

nga pala, manual transmission kuhanin mo, iba talaga ang manual compared sa automatic na ek, good luck!

Chief practicality wise if you have a family with 2 kids Honda sedans are not suits to you.. if you love HONDA go for CRV Gen 1 i know its over your budget but its reasonable chief you may consider widen your budget get a SUV like Isuzu Highlander 97-99mdl, Adventure 97-99mdl...etc.. sabi nga nila Honda VTi owners mostly are "SINGLE" Honda VTI is a "pimp car" its like a fishing rod you know what i mean...:drunk:
