June 17th, 2010 01:44 PM #1My dad is planning to buy me a car in subic.
I know most of the cars there are converted right?
So do you suggest getting a car there?
Which car(s) available there do you suggest and what should we look at to know that's it's a good one?
Thanks!
Appreciate replies!

Is it really a waste of money to get one from subic?
May problem ba sa converted?
I'm actually looking for a matic car (probably a sedan or a mini suv).
Budget is around 250K to 350K.
What do you suggest na magandang car? (local man o converted)

The problem is not the imported used cars from Japan.
The problem is the conversion from RHD to LHD. There are those who really take the time and care to make quality conversions using actual LHD parts.
But there are those who just do the chop-chop method which may not only affect quality of the car but also the safety.
And then there are the controls and release levers...

June 17th, 2010 03:27 PM #9Exactly, sir!
That's what I'm worried about.
I've heard some conversions, when you start running 100kph, nawawala control nung manibela. But I also read some from other forums na meron daw mga trusted na nagcoconvert here in the philippines.
So if the car was converted by those people daw, okay daw.
**stress on the daw's**

Too many trucks in Marcos. Naguilan is too far coming from the south. So Kennon is a lot faster.
