Re: What's the best 2nd hand car to buy for 160K to 210K budget?
basta DONT GET A MATIC! oh well kung makulit ka, sige......pera mo nalang yan.
ako i vote for either "love-life"(98-01) corolla, best if you could find the limited edition XE version---GLi spec na 1.3L
or get a sentra... 1.4EX series 3, gen1 body.. i know that a much better equipped 1.6L supersaloon easily fits your budget... if you opt for a 1.6L, i suggest hunt for the series 2(92-94) with "SE_saloon" badge. kasi of all the 1.6, of its time, eto lang may ABS, 4wheel disc brakes, powerfold mirrors...di totoong pangit ang nissan, its a hype ng mga matatnda....ako nga 20 taon na maxima ko di ko mapalitan kasi ang hirap hanapan ng qualified replacement and the fact that: "monthly maintenance" > market value
well kung budget concious ka, practical and you dont value that "brand thing"--- a 1997-2004 model KIA PRIDE 1.3L GTX.... ok na ok na to.. GTX have power pillar antenna,front power windows, and an interior space that defies the outside perception of the space inside (maluwag siya for its size-- i know, i could fit more stuffs sa kia pride ng mom ko than my maxima!) at maganda nito, mapa-korean- or japanese(yes, japanese--80-90% are mazda 323 parts!) replacement parts ka, original yan pareho... tapos sama mo na ang fact na "every mechanic can fix your car" aba ok na ok na yun...
another good alternative if your a "smart budget concious buyer of a used vehicle" (wherein nga you dont look at the brand) is the proton wira 1.6L XLi aeroback! basically, 90% of the wira is a lancer itlog(1992-95?) for short, parts are actually available too! engines upgrades parts and accessories are wide...and you can too convert it to look like a lancer, and nobody will know its a wira(tayo-tayo lang) hehehe
well eto akin lang... bakit di ko sinama sa taas ang honda... well.... for me ha, mas ok ang 1992-94 na EG than sa newer EK(94-98/99?)...pero what im saying the running cost of those i mentioned aboved are way cheaper than the honda... pero if you like to play "dress-up" and you cant drive a car because it will have a "mariana trench"-deep resale value....mag honda ka nalang. because what i mentioned above have less dress-up parts than your typical EG-honda. get the rediculously-priced local EG-hatch and you can still sell it as high as you bought it even after,1-2 years or more?
