    Nissan Sentra Series 3 (USED)

    guys, help me naman on how to defend the car that i want, kasi my parents would buy me a car. pero kung ano-ano suggestions nila na ayaw ko naman in short, sila namimili para sakin. ano kaya pwede ko sabihin na ma convince na ok naman ang nissan sentra series 3 . sinasabi nila na mabigat daw masyado ang sentra (sa parts, fuel consumption at kung ano-ano pa) ang alam lang nila is TOYOTA lang ang tipid. hayyyyy

    aircon lamig!

    naka-timing chain (not sure though if all engine displacements)

    multi-link beam suspension

    gusto ko diyan sa series 3 yung mga unang labas eh yung 3rd brake light nasa trunk cover nakalagay

    sa parts, it all boils down to info on where to source it... eastern part ako ng metro may suki akong bilihan ng nissan parts sa nisway (selling OEM and replacement)

    kung yan talaga gusto mo, ipaglaban mo. ikaw ang gagamit hindi naman sila

    Sa parts sabi ng mekaniko ko, although mura ang parts nga ng toyota, pero mas matibay naman ang parts ng Nissan kumbaga less downtime.

    Sabihin mo di pde ang SR20DET na makina sa Toyota!!!

    For the same year model...

    weight of cars: roughly the same.
    fuel consumption: roughly the same
    cost of parts: same
    availability: roughly same, especially oem parts and surplus

    advantage of sentra, for the same year/model as corolla, cheaper to buy, timing chain in engine, nearly indestructable engine.

    if your parents are looking at corolla ae111, tell them the rear seats are very cramp, no legroom, small trunk, brakes easy to overheat.

    NO, I CANNOT!
    piece of advice:
    it's the golden rule! he who has the gold, makes the rules!
    since they're the one doing the spending and most probably also the maintaining, then i suggest you bow to their wishes.
    besides, these two cars, to me, do even out in the long run...
    let me tell you: if you manage to get your sentra, kahit flat tire lang ay kasalaman mo yan.. hindi ka mananalo.. you'll never hear the end of it!
    matanong ko naman... do you really have something solid against the toyota? is it possible you're just as "hard-headed" as your pop? heh heh.
    and don't get me wrong.. i own a series 3. and i tell you, driving a toyota isn't fatal, either.
    when you can afford to buy a car with your own money and live under your own house, that's the time you buy the car of your dreams.

    medyo mahirap yan... siguro kung ako yan, sabihin ko...

    mas aalagaan at mamahalin ko yung oto na gustong gusto ko.

    mahirap kasi defend objectively lalo na kung toyota fanatic sila. maybe tap on their emotional side to have a chance to get the car you like.

    Aruy! Natamaan ako dun ah! :bwahaha:

    Para saken, either way, panalo ka diyan. Atleast bibilhan ka ng kotse! Hehe.

    Dati rin kasi I wanted the all new Lancer EX for my graduation gift, 2008 nun eh (a year after I graduated HS ). But my dad gave me his 2007 GLS Strada instead. At first I was disappointed, but here I am now, loving my ride. Hehe.

    Bakit, hindi ba totoo ?

    Siguro na-iinggit kasi di binilhan ng magulang ng kotse nung bata pa.
    My car was a hand-me-down vehicle. Naging choosy ako ? Not. In fact I tried to dress it up on my own to make it look more presentable.

    Sorry ha, my parents cannot buy me a car because we're not that rich. Buti nga yung iba diyan eh, binibigyan na ang kapal pa ng mukhang mamili.

    2)Agrabyado?
    -Paano naman ma-aagrabyado? Kung mas gusto nga nung tao yung kotse mas aalagaan e.
    Dude, take this as an example. For example you have a kid, you want him to have an educational toy. Something from VTECH, and yet he insists on wanting to have a PSP. Would you buy him one ? Definitely not. What things can he learn from a PSP ? Wala. Games. Games. Games. Probably if you have promised to buy him one, then go. But if it's as a gift then he cannot do anything.

    One more example, pag birthday.

    " Pare birthday ko na sa linggo, bilhan mo naman ako ng iPod "

    Kapal ng mukha diba ? Ikaw na nga yung bibigyan ikaw pa may karapatan mamili ng kung alin. Eh kung yun lang yung budget. Eh kung iba yung balak ibigay ?

    3)If TS was the older brother.
    -Di porket gusto ng nakakatanda o nakakarami, mas makakapagpasaya na sa tao.
    Learn how to enjoy one thing, especially if it was just a mere gift.

    Ikaw, pag binigyan ka ng kotse ng magulang mo. An Accent, wont you even THANK them ? Grabe ka namang anak if you wont. Kapal.

    Kung ayaw mo iyon, eh di ibenta mo. Tapos bumili ka ng gusto mo. Ikaw gumastos lahat tutal yan ang gusto mo eh. Bakit mo ibibigay problema mo sa iba ?

    4)Gift?
    -Kaya nga gift eh. Kung di din naman pwede marinig yung opinion ng gagamit wag ng tawaging gift. Pahiram na lang tawag dun.
    Did I say something that your opinion cannot be heard ? Or known ? Meron ba ?

    And do you know the difference between a gift and something that is borrowed ?

    -Kung ayaw sa opinion niyo wag niyo ipilit mga "Accent Blue" fanboys. Palibhasa porket bata ang kausap pakiramdam nila sila na tama.
    Wala akong pake kung matanda yan or ano. What I am saying is, that kid is selfish. Nothing more nothing less. Ikaw na bibigyan, kapal naman ng mukha mo makipagaway pa para makuha mo gusto mo. Kung gusto mo yun, eh di ikaw bumili. Kung di mo kaya, eh di magipon ka.
    5)Minica?
    -Kung di naman aandar, papahiyain ka sa daan at bibigyan ka ng sakit ng ulo matutuwa ka?
    Do you think I was serious with that ? Ang point ko dun is, whatever car is given to you. Be thankful.

    Sa TS, there's nothing wrong with voicing out your opinion just do it with respect to elders.
    Heck, baka nga mas matanda pa yan sakin e.

    And respect to elders ? That's what he needs.
    Kung Nissan edi swerte, Kung Toyota papalitan na lang in the future in case masira or pag may pera ka na pambili.
    Why what's wrong with Toyota ? Mas mahal ang piyesa ng nissan. May pambili ba yang " bata " mo ? Wala. Sa magulang pa rin aasa. So why not follow them if you cannot live on your own ?

    just a piece of advice from all of us who have been working for quite a while.. mahirap kitain ang pera dude - i'm sure your parents have a reason bakit Toyota gusto nila kunin para sa iyo. Huwag mo na i contest yun.

    Pag nagka work kana bro, you'll understand better.

    Aguy. Dahil nalait mo kotse ko, I cannot defend you !

    Ohwell. Nilait mo or not, I still wont defend you. :hysterical: Cause obviously ang iniisip mo eh pang-sarili lamang. You're selfish.

    Your parents has the cash, then ikaw pipili ? Eh di sila naargabyado. Wear their shoes & think about it. What if ikaw yung may pera, then your younger brother wants this but you want the other one for him cause you think it will be the best for him & the right thing. Will you follow him ? Obviously not. You will follow your own instinct. Your own self.

    And yes, I agree with dr.d, he who has gold makes the rules.

    Aren't you even thankful that your parents will GIVE you a car ? Diyos ko. Kahit minica pa yan, dapat ikatuwa mo na.

    Exactly my point with my earlier post.

    Hayaan mo na ang mga ganian, pag pinapansin mo lalo lang gaganahan yan.

Can you help me to defend the car that i want?
