    I'll take the low mileage city drive. Highway high mileage usually entails suspension work, 80k maintenance of timing belt and seals, heavier use of breaks, etc. City drive kasi hindi masyado strained engine and wala masyado play ng suspension.

    In the end depende pa rin sa maintenance ng seller.

    Would choose the high mileage highway driven as long as it is well maintained.

    Me too, I'd rather pick a high mileage car that's always driven on the highway than a low mileage car that's always stuck in traffic.

    Depends kung anong highway din yung tinatakbo lagi ng high mileage car. Kung NLEX-SLEC-SCTEX madalas then oks... eh kung yung bako-bako highway na panay trike, truck and kuliglig... hehehe.

    When we were buying a pick-up for our farm before, i looked at an L200 that was high mileage but driven on the highway often (maybe around 160,000kms on the odo); the engine ran much smoother then the city driven pick-ups i looked at. It also helps that the owner maintained his engine properly.

    Same year and model yung sasakyan.

    High mileage pero mostly highway / long drive driven

    Low mileage but city driving ginamit yung oto?

    Difference is 50k km in mileage of the two cars.

    I'd go with the low mileage in a heartbeat.

    maganda rin nga pala sa 2nd hand minsan na-address na nung former owner yung mga issues kaya wala ka ng iisipin pa.
    malas mo lang kung sayo pala ipapasa yung mga isyus.
