Good day magser/ma'am newbie here,
I'm planning to buy a Toyota Corolla Gli

This will be my first car if ever, nagbasa basa na rin po ako about it

gloss over the car sellers' ads, po, to give you an idea of the range of prices.
try olx.
but go see the cars in the flesh. only then can you see if the car is really good or truly bad, and (hopefully) you will see how condition reflects price.

one thing i can say about old cars... the older the car, the higher the chance of something needing fixing up. yes yes... there are exceptions. and that exception is what we want to buy.

lastly, when you buy an older car, be aware that even if you restore it to factory spec, it might still feel like an older car. that is because your efforts are limited by the technology when that car was first built.
for example, a factory spec gli might (heaven forbid!) not be as nice to drive as a poorly maintained altis. (hey guys, example lang! don't get mad...)

good luck.

Thank you sir dr. d, may nakikita po ako about around 100k ~ 150k thru online
yung budget ko mga sir/ma'am is around 120k, sakto na po ba ito for a good condition and good for long run?
sa mga nabasa ko din po kasi Gli, almost the same sa XE in fuel consumption
ang plan ko pagmeron na ako natipuhan kotse I'll bring some of my friends and mekaniko to also check the car
syempre pagOk na lahat, I'll have it full check up (double check lang po dahil this would be my first car nga po..just to make sure all are good at kung my papaltan mapapaltan na po)

I heard from a mechanic that by using additional grounding cable from battery to starter will help eliminate the hard to start after a long drive. Lumakas din daw hatak..
Anyone has information on this?

...hard starting after a long drive?... remedied by extra ground wires?
..sounds like loose grounding to me.
perhaps if we tighten the grounding bolts first...

Naexperience ko yan doc nung pinatay ko makina then pinalipat kami kasi bawal magpark dun sa pinwetuhan ko,wala pang 30 seconds, hindi na sya ngstart, have to wait a minute din ata yun before ng start ulit. As per mechanic na nakausap ko, naexperience narin daw nya un with new battery, so he tried putting extra grounding wires nga.

does your starter revolve the crankshaft, but ignition does not take over? if so, it would appear, you have an intermittent. it might be difficult to zero in on the culprit, as it's an... "intermittent".

or does your starter not move at all? in which case, i think it's just your starter solenoid that needs fixin' or replacement. this is easy to troubleshoot. the knowledgeable mechanic can do it with a screwdriver. if it is the culprit, just have it replaced, po. the starter solenoid, i mean.

good luck.

If i remember it right, no movement. Could it be battery?

i don't think so.
a weak battery can probably still do some engine movement, even if only a bit.
a dead battery wouldn't make any movement, even if one waited an hour.

i think it's your solenoid.
errr... the big one piggy-backed to the starter, not the cute black cube thingees in the engine bay.
heh heh.

[reymund]

Could be.. but this rarely happened. Thanks, doc.

that's difficult to assess from where i sit, as i have no idea what the new sound, sounds like.
but i would inspect the bolts, if they are tightened.
also, the door upholstery, if everything is seated and pinned down properly.
then the rubber weather strip, if it is intact and in place.
i would open it, if i thought from the sound, that something inside could be causing the unusual sound.
and if it doesn't close "easily", i would check for door alignment or lock mechanism alignment, including bolt tightness.

i would see if the hinges need lubrication.

Hi po. Up ko lang po ito

Nagkaissue po ba kayo sa odometer ng big body? Gumagana naman po speedometer and tachometer, kaso yung odometer and trip meter di na gumagalaw Ang suspetsa ko po is yung gears lang po kasi may mga times na gumagana siya, tatakbo ng 1 km, then hinto na ulit. May change pa bang maayos ito? Kasi as much as I can, gusto ko po i-retain yung legit mileage niya. Thank you po sa mga makakasagot.

[98lovelife]

Mga paps, may mairerecomend ba kayo na mechanic or shop na expert sa lovelife?

[bail]

Ano dapat fuel consumption ng big body gli? Rifht now 5km per liter sakin. 135k mileage. Is this normal?

[reymund]

what could be wrong, namamatayan ako ng makina habang naandar. i put the gear in neutral and start the engine again, then put in D.
history:
1. replaced busted distributor(tumirik ako d2). ok na umandar na then umaandar nmn agad pg namatay makina(good sign daw un na ok ung dist as per mechanic)
2. ginamit ko, namatayan, put in N start engine then start again, put in D. this happens a lot, nag palit na ng fuel pump kasi nakita ns mahina buga dun sa luma. what do you think other areas need to consider, thanks.

anybody know the size for front camber bolts ng ae101. hindi pareho yung butas ng shock struts na nabili ko. nagiba yung camber. baka macorrect yung camber kesa kikilin yung butas ng strut.
