Hi guys. I'm just a newbie. I wanted some advice.
I own a Mazda 3. 2.0 engine. Model 2005.
It's rarely used. the mileage is only 35,000 km.
The thing is, I don't know why the suspensions are busted.
Casa says I need to change the Front shocks.
Some suspensions.
Lateral links.
Brake pads
Etc.
Can anyone give me a good quality place with a reasonable price?
because Casa is wayyy to expensive. =|
Also, I haven't changed the Tires on my car at all.
I can see it's pud-pud talaga. haha.
The company provided Bridgestone tires.
what i dont get is that, the spare tire, is not. it's some lousy ass thin tire.
parang ung pang motorbikes. lol
wel, any advice on these things i have to change?

Also, I was thinking of selling my car.
Is 570k reasonable to sell ?
Thanks so much.

hi, first of 35000kms is very much decent for a 5-6 year old car. 35,000kms is also short for the suspension components na masira. however, pagkasira ng suspension also heavily depends the manner of your driving. kung rally driving style, talagang bibigay yan ng ganyan kaaga.. did you get the car brand new or second hand?

if youre familiar sa may motel area ng pasig. there is a shop there named north american. they (all staff) came from mazda and ford casas. they offer all types of service and say that they are 60% cheaper than mazda/ford casa.

re: tires, there are very decent brands which are budget friendly like nankang, neuton etc. price range per tire is around 3300-3500 per piece. known brands costs 2-3x more.

the spare tire is called a "donut tire" it is, like what is commonly called, a spare. its a temporary tire so that you can reach a vulcanizing shop or tire shop to repair or replace your busted tire. pretty much common nowadays in new cars. some peeps even buy donut tires to replace their regular spare tires to save space and weight. try to observe pormado honda crvs. some of them replace their spare with yellow colored donut tires.

unfortunately our mazda 3's have weak suspension, i was able to change mine at 55,000 km. matagal na yun compared sa iba since i dont use the car much

potenza's last around 50,000km. i take it you drive in worse roads than i do. i had my shocks fixed sa zee along aurora blvd near jruiz station. i forgot the actual cost but around 2k each ata yun. i changed to goodyear tires php4.5k each sa front but on the rear i used westlake. much cheaper yung westlake around 2.3k lang ata when i got it. go around evangelista madami dun

caloyski5 is right, the spare is a donut only good for replacement until you get to the next vulcanizing shop. this reduces weight and consumes less space, di na uso yung regular spare tire.

i thought i could sell my mzda3 for 600k kaso mababa pala resale nito haha check sa buy and sell so you can get an idea how much to sell your mzda3. anyway lately i enjoy driving the 3, i got mine 2005 also with 60k on the odo. weak suspension and aircon aside, the 3 is still a fun car to drive so ive decided not to sell it

Parang overpriced sa P570K. 2005 model na eh. More than 5 years na so dapat mga 40-45% na lang ng purchase price. So dapat mga P400 below?
