Default Can you guys help me choose, Cefiro or Camry?

Need to choose one. . Ang pagpipilian is a Nissan Cefiro (last few units ng Elite) 2002 and a 2004 Camry 2.0E (pinangbayad lang ng may utang sa akin.)

Additional information on each unit:

Cefiro
approximately 57,000kms only
New tires - changed last October 2006 yata
New battery - last September 2006 yata
K&N drop in filter
Bagong linis ang aircon nung April
New Power steering and alternator belt - this July lang
Brake pads - this July lang din
approximately 260-280kms ang isang full tank (city driving)
Kenwood 2din na radio bought last August 2006 yata
Comprehensive Insurance

Camry
130,000kms na
Makapal pa naman ang gulong - Yokohama Aspec ang mga gulong pero ang spare tire, kalbo na
New battery - last October 2006 yata
New Power steering and alternator belt - this July lang
approximately 350kms ang isang full tank (city driving)

Hope somebody can help me in choosing. Want to dispose one na kasi medyo mahal mag-maintain ng 2. Thanks in advance.

Wala akong driver. Between the two, mas mabilis umarangkada ang Camry. One suggestion sa akin is sell the two and get a Camry na lower ang mileage. Sa ngayon, parang inclined ako na iyon nga ang gawin but of course baka magbago pa rin ang isip. Ok lang naman kung medyo formal dating ng Cefiro. Hitsurang madumi pero sosyal ang wheels. Ang downside though is mukhang akong driver....

Bakit 130,000kms na tinakbo ng Camry? Kung due to frequent long highway driving (i.e. every weekend umuuwi ng probinsya, etc), ok lang yon. I'd rather choose a car with 100K highway kilometer than one with 50K city driving kilometers. I'd choose the Camry, unless ginawang 'taxi-service' sya dito sa metro manila.

Default Re: Can you guys help me choose?

my instinct says that i would go for the camry.

but in this case, i'd go with the cefiro.

mukhang bugbug na yung camry. 2002 model, palit na ng power steering and alternator belt? dubious. tapos pudpud pa gulong.

in any case, it would be hard to re-sell it. executive sedans kase yan eh, and pagka-transfer pa lang sa name mo nyan, 2nd hand na yan, tapos ibebenta mo pa ulet. mejo malaki ang tama nyan sa resale value.

sorry, my bad. ang pinalitan is yung sa Cefiro. Hindi yung sa Camry. Yung sa Camry, maayos pa. Kaya ko pinalitan yung sa Cefiro kasi may cracks na yung alternator belt. Ayaw ko kasi ng pa-isa isa palitan so I opted na palitan pareho. May phobia na rin akong sinasagad yung belts.

Same sentiments tayo ssaloon.

Swordsman - Yep, sa probinsya madalas tinakbo. Alabang-Sta. Rosa yata...

ale828 - Regarding sa ride and comfort, parang mas boto ako sa Cefiro. Mas `soft' kasi ang sa Cefiro tapos ang seats, parang inaakap ka. Parang kumokorte ang katawan mo sa mga upuan...

Haay, kakalito...Pero so far, parang mas madami ang boto sa Camry....

Camry ako

Or better yet, if you can, sell both nga ang buy a lower mileage but well-maintained Camry.
