ritz.therese Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Hmm, sasalungat ako sa advice ng ibang MTC bros natin. If it is your first car, I would suggest a brand new one. The Kia Picanto seems ok naman. Why? 1) A brand new car is under warranty, so less hassle for you.Lalo na at dehin ka pa sanay sa auto, baka lalong sumakit ulot mo kapag nasira ang mag parts. 2) A brand new can can be completely insured Meaning, kapag nabangga ka, casa kaagad iyan Just my two cents worth. My first few cars were second and third hand ones. Talangan sumakit ulo ko sa kanila.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I totally agree. In addition to the above, I don't think you should get a 2nd hand car unless you have no other options, or you know the person who used to own the car, kse you never know what could be wrong with it...

If you'll do some back reading you'll find a lot of good advices from this thread. Anyhows with that budget medyo marami ka na din choices. You can buy Carfinder magazine for different options or much better if you will visit this site - www.carfinderph.com that's the same as the mag pero mas marami kang choices sa www.buyandsellph.com just go to the transportation/car section... andun lahat ng models and make, that should give you a pretty good idea of the prices ng mga second hand cars. Happy hunting and goodluck to us!!! :cool: Quote Link to comment

agxo3 Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 4th: since ikaw ang unang may-ari, its up to you kung paano mo patatagalin yung buhay nung kotse mo, if di ka naman pabalagbag magmaneho, then, you'd have your ride kahit until 8 yrs sayo... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If you take good care of your car it will last a long time - buy the best you can possibly afford. Go for quality over flashiness, and you'll be rewarded. Maintain it - oil change on a regular basis (with new oil formulations, every 10,000 km is okay), keep it in tune (replace those spark plugs at the recommended time), replace belts and hoses BEFORE they break, make sure you use good coolant in the cooling system (not just plain old water) and try not to let it overheat, keep tires/wheels in alignment. Keep it waxed - that will protect the paint and keep rust from forming. Wash the underside regularly with a high pressure hose to get mud and dirt out. If you put aftermarket stuff on it, make sure you know what you're doing to the car. A friend just put a supercharger and a new control chip on his little Acura. Claimed that he was told the stock engine and transmission could handle the extra torque. Well, he was wrong! Tried to kick up the boost last week - blew out his piston rings. So - bore and polish the cylinders (deeply scored from the broken rings), replace bent piston rods and broken pistons and rings, replace stressed crankshaft................$3000 worth of work. Might as well buy a new car! He'll have a stronger engine then he'll blow out the transmission next - I can see it coming already. All my cars last 10-12 years with me before I sell them. In good condition, but I do want new every now and then. My MB E320 is 10 years old this year, 180,000+ km and still a beautiful car. My wife just gave her 1985 BMW 325e to our daughter - 300,000 km and still going strong - and bought a Mini. Will the Mini last as long? We'll see. Quote Link to comment

Also, if you're after lower maintenance cost naman stay away from Honda, mahal parts niyan pre... Toyota and Mitsubishi's parts are available almost everywhere.

mahler Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 If the choices given by the thread initiator, im torn between a trooper and a prado. Former offers efficiency, the latter parts reliability, its just a matter of price acquisition. Small cars, vios ( biased ba sa toyota:D) Quote Link to comment

Nasa nag aalaga lang siguro yun..Peace<{POST_SNAPBACK}> IMHO lang mga bro, lahat naman ng makes and perhaps models may kanya kanyang pros and cons... If there had been a "perfect car" eh di non-existent na sana 'yung iba Its a matter of preference siguro and kung ano lifestyle mo din. I also believe nasa alaga din. But of course di maiiwasan 'yung lemons di ba, kahit sa spareparts. That's why I'm trying to solicit (un biased) advices from the more experienced. Thanks to those who shares (both positive and negative feedbacks ). Sir Kirov, what are the points to ponder if ever I decide to go for MMC Pizza? Ano madaling masira? How much on the average maintenance? Also, yung fuel efficiency? Sana pa share na din po ng mga plus Quote Link to comment
