Toyota Corolla 11th Generation Altis [Merged Threads]

[MamBad]

Buying a brand new car soon, 2017 Altis is on the list. Do you think it's worth it to stretch a bit going from the G variant to acquire the V?

Other car on the list is 2018 City VX.

If you're going for the Altis V, might as well go for a Civic 1.8E. Much better car - looks better inside and out, feels more premium, better toys, better drive.

Between the City VX and Altis G, you have to decide whether you like toys (City) or size (Altis). The Altis is very basic in terms of features but it's still a more premium car over the City as it's more comfortable, and a class higher (compact vs subcompact).

Sorry naliligaw yata ko saan po ako pede magtanong ng mga probs ko sa suspension sa 97 toyota corolla gli big body ko? Hehe

Thanks for the input, suddenly got more confused when I looked at the Civic 1.8E thought the price difference between it and the Altis was high apparently not so much. Have to take a look when I go around dealers soon. Hope FC not that far off from each other though.

To anyone who experienced selling their Altis, I humbly need your opinion;

My officemate (chinese expat) is very interested to buy my 2015 Altis 1.6G CVT for 700K.
This is nearly 3years used, I acquired it last Feb 2015 for 905,000 SRP. Its odometer reading is just 16,000KM, with bunch of upgrades I made:

1. Seatmate leatherette seatcover - 6.5K
2. Rhino lip - 2.2k
3. DRL - 6.5K
4. OEM spoiler - 5K
5. Mud guards - 1.8K
6. Rain visor - 1k
7. Bi-annual polish & sealant

Honestly, I have no plans of selling my Altis now, but it was an open option since I really like the new Civic + the excise tax pressure. It was my first car and first time to sell. He told me that he really wants to buy my altis coz he saw me how I take care of it. He's a bit pushy to buy it asap and finish the deal.

Question:

* Do you think this is a fair deal?
*** He will pay 300K upfront cash
*** 400K deferred payments within a year for 30K+/month.

* Who should shoulder the transfer of ownership expenses? Doc fees, etc.

* While I wait for him to finish all the payments, ofcourse I cannot transfer the name to him yet. Can we just produce a temporary deed of sale (notarized) for this? I am worried for any events that might happen when hes using the car (crime, disobeying traffic rules, etc). A contract that will waive all my responsibilities and condition of the car when I give it to him.


Thank you for any one who could enlighten me on this.

If its any help, my 1.6v altis acquiredOct 2014 was valued by my insurance at 728k... of course , for insurance purposes ng ito.

[_Cathy_]

Nope. Not fair because I will NEVER sell my car on installment. Ano ako bangko? An officemate also offered the same for my car and I told him no way. I found a buyer who paid me in cold cash.

The transfer of ownership is shouldered by the buyer.

I'm with Cathy. Kaliwaan cash in full. Buyer takes care of transfer of ownership.

Thank you for your inputs. 🥂

It was my first option, but he can’t afford to buy it in spot cash. 1year installment is fine with me, its just i believe the depreciated cost of my car is less than what hes going to buy it. Ive asked some of my friends and they said the value is higher than average. My car should cost around 500k+ based on 3yr depreciation. Though this is relative to the condition of the car.

Is this not worth the window of opportunity to buy the civic before excise tax? I will not sell this when excise tax is already imposed, im probably gonna keep it for 5 more years.

i wouldn't know.
kasi, i am not salivating for that new civic.

peruse the online cars-for-sale threads, po, and get an idea of what your car's advertised price range is.

so, are you considering selling your car to give your officemate a break? or are you selling it so's you can buy yourself that new civic?
in my experience, when i want something (newer car), i readily sell my older car at a lower price than market. i know i am at the losing end, but... i get a new car!

it seems to me, you are considering selling your car, to get your hands on that civic!
so my bottomline question is, how good or bad a gamble, is your furriner buyer?

No - it is not a window of opportunity. Auto brands are just hyping the excise tax. Net effect on the Civic is around 100k or less.

One of the oldest tricks in the book - artificial scarcity.

I sold my 2015 Altis with 53k mileage for 575k. That was a manual G but was in immaculate condition and with rare rims. An automatic with lower mileage should really fetch around 600-650k, higher if 1.6V. So yes 700k for your Altis is already a good price but still not worth selling just because you want to take advantage of the looming price increase which isn't all that big anyway.

btw, does the new civic have a long waiting line?

[Sebastian Bach]

Thank you guys sharing your experience, very informative. Mali ung tansya ko, i thought it would cost around 300k for 1.1M + .

Yes theres a long waiting time for Civics. Thats one of the reason I’m considering to not push thru. Maaabutan ko ung excise tax, its useless.

Do the headlights of the current Altis switch off automatically if left ON after the engine is shut down? I've had a couple of instances already when my headlights turn on after starting the engine. No signs though of my battery being discharged. I have tried turning off the engine with the headlights on and it stayed on.

I've seen this feature on a 2000 year model camry... Wouldn't be surprised if this was the case.

For my 1.6v, it switches off the moment you open the door.
