what happens to corolla taxis when they retire?

like the big body corolla 93-97?

about close to half of taxis in metro manila are of this type, so where will they end up when they retire? like the 96 models which are up for retirement

will they be converted to private vehicles? so that means there is a chance that you might end up buying an ex taxi car with this?

They sell it for 35k-50k each. Yes, it becomes a private car after.

**mike01** · May 3rd, 2007 05:57 PM

does that mean they repaint it to a private car and change the plate number to private?

whoa! so that means there is no way of knowing if you are buying a private car or a retired taxi?

How could you possibly not recognize an ex-taxi?

well kung ayos pa naman, pwede pa namang gamitin for private use,sayang naman yung kotse pa din naman yun.

True, pero most of the time laspag na. Kumbaga it's a cheap beater na pangharabas.

Bakit ganu'n, ni-retire na nga as TAXI dahil luma na, tapos iku-convert na private car pa? Di ata tama ito. Usually luma na makina nyan, at baka mausok pa.
