    First, go to Toyota dealership and ask how much is the retail value of the said car (year, model, mileage etc.). From there, it gives you and idea how much you really wanna go for the car. Assume that the fair market value is 450G., then ask for 400G at magsalobungan kayo. Dont rush the deal, kapag alam niyang gustong gusto mo yong kotse pahihirapan ka niyan. Deal like youre not really interested the car, kung ayaw niyang magpababa sasabihin mong.........

    "ah! okey, sigi pala kasi me titingnan pa kaming ibang kotse pero pwede mo akong tawagan bukas kung magkano talaga ang best offer mo. Pero kung makursunadahan ko yon isang kotse ibinta mo nalang yan kotse mo sa iba.

    Pakipotan lang yan.

    For practically the same price, you can get a 1.8G. Incidentally, I'm selling my Altis 1.8G, first owner, Oct 2002 acquired, 56K mileage, all stock, very fresh, like new, casa maintained, 470K. All you have to do is ride. My fuel consumption is 10 km/ltr city and 14 km/ltr city/highway. My Oct 2002 model and the 2004 model being offered to you should not be an issue since its the same body, what's important is the mileage and the condition of the vehicle. If you want to know the fair market value of the car, check out several sources; toyota dealerships, classified ads, used car dealers, etc. If you want to check out my car, send me an sms at 09189176150.

    sir ok ang altis matipid lalo na pag manual tranny ahehehe.... sulit yan... 2004 model dapat mga 40k to 45k lang (dapat city driving)mileage nyan...

    pagbibili kayo check nyo tambutso pag me langis wag nyo kunin, dapat pag start sa umaga maigi me lumalabas na tubig o basa tambutso... saka syempre check nyo yung garahe kung me tulo ng langis... mas madumi makina mas ok, kasi makikita nyo kung me tagas...

    aheheheh... puro ako langis... yung kasi dapat nyo unang tignan pag bibili 2nd hand... pangalawa na lang yung body kung me bangga o nagpalit ng kulay...

    more tips... wag kayo magmadali, madami kayong makukuha...

    The major service stops are every 40K (followed by the 20K intervals) but SOP when buying a second hand is to change all fluids and filters along with a underchassis viewing at the nearest station with a lifter and cold (morning) starting the car to observe for any irregular idling concerns.
