agree with you bro... specially kung baguhan ka pa lang.
baka kasi lalong mapasama... mas lalaki ang problema.
at least, pag sa experts, pag nasira, you can ask for damages pa. hehehehe.

Sir thank you, very helpful, nasagot mga tanong ko. Hahahanap nalang muna ako siguro ng mg checheck ng paint ng altis ko. nga pala bumili kasi ako ng microtex wash and wax maganda ba yun?

for mechanical condition sir, dinala namin sa hotwheels evangelista, after ng purchase, pinalitan namin ng break pad sa harap (6k OEM brake pads), change oil (fully synthetic 2250), at pinalitan ng left shock sa likod (may tagas na) 4600, cleaned the rear breaks. No need to tune up daw sir maganda pa makina, at takbo. gumastos nga lang ako ng 13k.

Yung coolant at break fluid was full, ATF okay pa daw, filters is okay pa daw. Milage is at 72k

The brake fluid should be changed every 40,000kms at least; if you drive through floods and the like, earlier the better. For items like coolant and the ATF you can replace at 80,000kms although i would still recommend you change it already just in case the previous owner did not have that changed during the 40,000kms check-up and you don't know how they really used and maintained the car before. That's why it's called PMS - Preventive Maintenance Service.

Microtex Wash and Wax is a good, value for money car shampoo.

Relax ka muna sa pintura at kintab, your first priority is ung condition ng takbo kung talaga bang maayos dahil kaka kuha mo lang at 2nd hand yan. Yung nagastos mo sa evangelista hindi sayang yan. Ang masaklap kung inuna mo pintura tapos kelangan mo pala ng bagong shocks at brakepad. that should give you time to compare with other similar cars kung talaga bang masakit na sa mata or makukuha pa sa simpleng wax at regular car wash para maging presentable.

tama wag ka muna mag focus sa detail.ang mahalaga siguraduhin mo munang kundisyon ang auto mo..at wag excited sa mga papaayos darating kadin dyan.

about naman sa detailing para kumintab gamit ka ng(star wax) joke...
pa detail mo sa expert saka mo pagmasdan mabuti kung paano ginagawa nila.at kapag nalaman mo na ganun pala.ngayon malalaman mo na diba kung paano ang tamang pag detail sa tsikot mo..

Mga Sir salamat sa feedbacks!

Need ko po ba iparecheck? paano malaman na need na palitan yung break fluid at coolant? yung break fluid na lalagyan maganda pa kulay, actually lagpas pa sya sa max indicator. yung coolant sakto lang sa max indicator. Wait ko nalang mg 80kms or para sigurado palitan ko na agad. mgkano abutin para makapg prepare heheh.

wala naman po kaming naririnig na ano mang ingay. medyo malakas lang yung tunog ng makina pero d naman nanginginig, parang sa aircon yata kasi pag in-on at off nawawala after a few minutes.

naka timing chain po ba ito or belt na need palitan?

ayun guys kaya concern ako sa detail kase atleast papano gusto ko mukang maganda! hahahaha

as much as possible, please do have it checked.
yung brake fluid, it does not necessarily mean that malinis ang lalagyan ay ok pa ang nakalagay. normally, brake fluids need to be drained every two years (meron pa nga akong kilala na every year eh). just prepare around 2-3k for brake fluid, radiator drain and coolant replacement.

yung sa aircon, pa check mo either sa AC belt yan o pasira na yung compressor pulley bearing. mura lang yan. kung kailangan palitan ng compressor pulley bearing, mga 2-3k lang yun. yung belt is below 1k.

timing chain po yan.

unahin mo muna yan, including brake pad inspection or replacement. tapos tsaka mo na lang ipadetail.
