matipid sa gas yan nissan sentra super saloon at ok ang modelo nya saka hindi naman pahirapan sa paghahanap ng spare parts nyan.

kung matatawaran mo pa yan tawaran mo pa pero bago mo bilhin yan ay mag-sama ka ng kilala o kaibigan mong mekaniko para makita at ma-check kung ano ang kondisyon, kung wala naman ay magsama marunong sa kotse kasi baka mamaya ay maganda lang tignan ito pero may tinatago palang depekto ito.

accord infairness medyo mura sya na sya ah konti na lang idadagdag mo sa budget mo ay naka accord ka na ok rin ang modelo na yan sa parts ay hindi ka rin mahihirapan maghanap, kung interior din ang paguusapan maganda sya at malaki ang space, pero aminin man natin o hindi mas malakas ito konti sa gas kesa sa sentra.

sa presyo ng parts mas mahal ng bahagya ang accord.

rule of thumb when buying a 2nd hand car is to also allot a budget for repairs and whatnot.

mga 10k to 20k siguro

+1 on sir Kuts copmment...

nun bumili ako ng van 30k pa nagastos ko sa suspension, engine, and other body part replacements, baka sa car mas mura ng konti, but you really need to allot for these. try mo toyotas di ba better and mileage nitop and parts availability?

If you are on a budget, it's best to keep to the smaller cars (example: Sentra, Civic, Corolla, Lancer) even if prices of larger sedans are enticing. Cars like the Accord, Cefiro, Corona and Galant might be cheap/affordable on the second hand market BUT their spare parts are still more expensive than the equivalent part for smallers cars of the same year.

As for the 96 Nissan Sentra SS 1.6L, it is a good car as long as the previous owner has taken good care of it and its mileage is not astronomical. As for it's fuel consumption, it is average at around 8km/L. You can also choose the Sentra 1.4L which has similar comfort levels but with a smaller engine that can deliver 10km/L fuel mileage.

Before finalizing any deal for a used car, best to have stuff like the A/C checked for any potentially expensive to repair problems like leaks in the compressor, etc. I have seen people prepare a car to look perfectly fine but have hidden the problem so the potential buyer will not find out until a week or later after the car was sold (example is the A/C as mentioned above).

check nyo rin po papers,automatic or manual ho ba yung sentra?

goodluck po

sir khazpert A/T po yun nissan.

Nissan Sentra matic 96 would give you around 6-7 km per liter.While the accord is about 6km per liter city driving.My experience with nissan sentra is unlike the civics and the lancers mas malakas sya sa gas.Almost identical with Mazda familia.I think it has something to do with their twin cam engines.

[downshift2]

Bro mura na yang 95 na accord tapos 133thou lang?.Make sure na maganda pa makina lalo na yung matic tranny nya.Check mo mabuti papers.The best thing to do is photocopy the original papaers at check with the LTO office tapos police clearance sa TMG.

sir another tip if i may. start the engine of the car. close all windows. turn off the airconditioning and start revving the the car, if you get the smell of engine oil or exhaust dont buy that car.
it means, lumalagok na ng langis ung car.if you also see white milky smoke from the exhaust pipe, dont buy that also coz it means A LITTLE water is present sa carburator(THAT IS KUNG CARBURATOR PA GAMIT) another is cleanliness. aside from how clean the engine is please do consider how clean the interior is. maraming bagay sa interior ng kotse ang hindi basta natatanggal ang dirt ng mabilisan coz nilinis right before ipakita sa buyer. how clean it is sa loob will give you an idea kung papaano inaalagaan ng previous owner yung car. if ever you will consider a mitsubishi car and ang sabi syo ng owner is sa diamond motors na casa sya nagpapamaintain, i have a way to find out kung totoo sir. we can have a printout of the maintenance history of the said car. now if you still want options of other cars dont hesitate to contact me at 09239798596. hope you get the car that you want. another piece of advice....wag magmadali... and wag masyado din magtagal sa pagkuha ng car. consider first your needs, once these are met, then consider your wants. goodluck

mga sir maraming salamat po sa mga advice at tips nyo, ang totoo nyan e medyo may nerbyos ako ng konti kc alam nyo nman di na rin basta basta pera ngayong araw.. gusto ko po sna e masulit din yung pera na pambili ko.
di po ako nagkamali sa paghingi ng advice sa mga tsikoters

[walamekotse]

sir autobroker salamat po sa pag offer ng help hayaan nyo po pag nka encounter po ako ng ganun paniguro po ikaw ang una kong lalapitan

sa choices mo, the sentra is my choice. yung accord, it's not a bad car at parang mura sya for a big car but as ghosthunter pointed out, mas mura i maintain yung sentra. since you are buying a 2nd hand car, i consider mo lagi yung madali/mura i maintain. kahit gano kaganda ng car, basta 2nd hand expect mo na masisira yan so dapat madali humanap ng mechanic/pyesa.

pero ang suggestion ko sayo bro. be patient in looking for a car to buy, kung kailangan mag save ka pa until you can buy a better car do that. I would suggest gawin mo 180K-200K ang budget mo, mas madali humanap ng better car at that price range (toyota corolla lovelife, 98 civics, sentras etc)

but if you really need to buy a car sooner, just be patient in looking. good luck!
