kanski Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 ^ just be prepared to spend for repairs. you should have money allocated for this in your budget, especially when you are buying a car this 'mature'. good luck bro. Quote Link to comment
glntvr Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I'm a newbie when it comes to cars but I'm planning on buying a second-hand Mitsubishi Lancer '87 Model. Any tips? The seller is offering it at 50,000 PHP (I'm currently negotiating to lower it to 40K) and claims it to be in good running condition. It has Mag Wheels and leather seat covers. He says the AC is good. The paint job needs a few massaging but I'm aspiring to have its color changed to black since I don't really dig maroon. Any tips? I want to get my money's worth since I've been saving this money since I can't remember when. I wanna make sure I get my money's worth. Malakas ba ito sa gasolina? I can't really trust everything the seller says. Hehehe. Maganda pa kaya makina nito? Tsaka gaano pa kaya katagal ang itatagal nito with proper maintenance? Better to save up and get a Toyota Corolla ae92. (89-92). These go for 80 to 100+ depending on the condition. What's nice about this car is that there are soooo many parts. As in madame, easy to modify. Engine swaps are relatively cheap din. Really a good car Quote Link to comment

Yeah, I'm morally preparing myself for that. I think if I get this car, I'll finally be able to stop smoking or at least minimize it. Hehehe. Better to save up and get a Toyota Corolla ae92. (89-92).

Really a good car Dude, that's like double the price of the current car I'm eyeing for. I'm not sure how much longer I'll have to save up for that. My savings keep getting depleted everytime there's an emergency. Ngayon lang ako sinwerte na makapag ipon ng ganito kalaki na walang nagkakasakit. Hehehe. Sa akin kasi nakasandal mga in-laws ko sa mga ganung bagay eh. Hehehe. Quote Link to comment
alteclansing Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 its nice to be back here at mtc. @alloy the box type lancer for 40k is good given that the repairs would be at a minimal, its a given that there would be one or two or even more work to be done hehehe. Make sure you have a mechanic that you can trust to check out the engine and suspension. Look for the usual leaks ng oil or water. When taking it out for a test drive notice the noises it makes. Mahirap yung sagad na yung budget mo sa price pa lang ng car. A decent paint job alone would set you back at least 20k na. Be ready for maintenance cost, registration, parking na mahal haay naku yosi na lang tayo hehehe. But you'll never go wrong with a mistubishi :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment
alloy v7.6 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Dude, sa paint job lang ako makakatipid ng todo. Buti na nga lang at dati akong nagtrabaho as a car painter nung kabataan ko pa. Hehehe. I think I'll brush up my skills on the "FrankenToshiba" Project I'm gonna do. (I aim to revive a dead Toshiba Laptop and give it a full makeover. Hehehe. I plan on painting it as if its a car since the design of its casing is slightly based on one. Hehehe.) Pero talagang kakailanganin ko talaga pinturahan. Dami kasing spots pero makinis pa yung paint sa mga lugar na walang spots. Will post pics of the car later. Maybe I'll get more angles first. Kung wala lang ngang spots, iisipin mong bago pa yung kotse. I went for an optical inspection and I found out that the seats really had leather seat covers. The tires aren't that old and It had some sweet mags. Sana maipon ko na agad yung kulang pa sa pambili. Hehehe. Quote Link to comment
alteclansing Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 well thats good to know at least tipid ka sa biggest gastos so far. By the way what engine is on the car? Is it the 5 speed na 1400? Quote Link to comment
HotSHot8259 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 what do you think of my mods on my mits fortis? it's still a work in progress. i don't intend to make it into an evo, i plan to do our own custom styling on it. we'd probably slap on a turbo kit while we're on it na. Nice car pre! heheh budget didn't permit me to get the same car but got the LANCER 2008 GLX (2007 upgrade instead). Cool car still hehehe Quote Link to comment

kevin6a12 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Got my 1995 Mitsu Galant just a week ago for 95k as-is.Not sure if its a Super Saloon or whatever. But on the engine it says:V6 DOHC 24V Just spent 30k on undershassis repairs including engine overhaul and labor.Mekaniko ni erpat sabi na sya rin ang gumawa na mahal daw labor ng galant. Nagulat din ako dahil nag-full tank lang ako last week and after just 8 days of using it, almost empty na. No regrets naman and I Love the Speed and the Power of the engine. I'm thinking of trading it to a '95 Lancer GLXI or a Corolla big body but still thinking pa. Quote Link to comment
