Hypothetical question: which car would you choose for P250K?

[niky]

jdm r34 skyline sedan GT

or 1998+ delica space gear 4wd super exceed

I don't think an R34 fits within the budget.

Kung Cefiro-body... kasya pa.

This depends. If I already have a daily car, I would consider a micro-car... Pinoy car... would depend on what engine was inside. If it were, say, a Suzuki engine, I'd think about it.

Secondhand, within the 250 budget, I don't even have to settle for Japanese. Five year old Ford Lynxes fit... and those are Japanese engines, anyway. (Mazda). And with that I get dual airbags, a strong crash structure and chassis, a sunroof, CD changer, sophisticated suspension tuning and leather. Also not difficult to maintain or too bad on fuel, as long as you buy a manual. Seven year old Sentra 1.3s might actually come within the budget, also.

There are cheap Chinese cars that only cost around 150k pesos in China... and would only cost about 200k-240k pesos if sold locally. Motorcycle engine, so they're actually fuel efficient. The only problem is locals won't buy them. (the start-up that tried failed) Crash safety of a tricycle, and you can't even jump out of one in a crash (you can jump out of a trike), and there's no AC or creature comforts beyond a blower and a cruddy Chinese stereo.

And our government won't register them for the road. Can't decide whether they're motorbikes or cars. :hysterical:

Uh, 2nd hand japanese cars nalang.

China cars, hell no. Scary eh.

Pinoy made vehicles, mas lalong hell no. Baka pag 120kph takbo ko, kumalas na yung gulong. :hysterical: -, well ... that's if kung aabot pa ako ng 120kph. hehehe

If I was there, none of the above. I'd put the money in the bank and commute.

[roninblade]

i'd buy an old japanese car rather than a new indian, chinese, or locally-made car.

250K.. hmmm yung 1996-1999 Mitsubishi Lancer GLXi. Kung pasok yung 2000-2001 MX, mas okay

Basta Top of the Line.

Ironically I have to disagree SG. Of all the Japanese cars iwas ka talaga dyan sa pizza pie Lancer. Suspension is crap! We used to owned one, good riddance! I rather have a Lovelife Corolla!

[OyiL]

gusto ko talaga mag-design ng sarili kong pinoy car. target ko magkaroon ng toy owner-type.

Ironic to another discussion, such an OTJ would require so-called "junk" or surplus engines and stuff to build.

[Starex_Gold]

alam ko iyon, tidus

Meron ganyan yung friend ko, nung bago ayos talaga.. Tapos ngayon, kalampag dito, kalampag doon. Pag pinaayos, ilang months lang ganun ulit. Haha.. Pero ewan ko bakit type ko yun pizza pie

Yung Lovelife naman.. Ok ako dyan, basta 1.8SE.G o kaya Euro 2.
