im planning to buy a car this coming july..my budget is around 120-150k
my options are:
toyota collola around 1993-1996 model
honda civic 1992-1996 model
mitsubishi lancer hotdog/itlog not sure with the year 1994-1996 model
-i want to consider fuel efficiency with their stock engine..
-upgradability because i consider to modify this car..
-body durability
-parts and maintenance..
thanks for the help in advance..
For that budget, I'd get a Nissan Sentra B13 ('91-'95) or B14 ('96-'99).
- Fuel efficiency is about the same between these cars, roughly 8 km/L in the city for the MT versions.
- You can upgrade the B13 Sentra to look like the USDM Sentra SE-R. You can change its engine from the 1.6L GA16DE to the venerable 2.0 SR20DE for much less money than converting a Civic's PH16 engine to the 160-hp B16A.
- Parts are still highly available in Banawe.
between those 3 cars lang ata gusto nya.. kung ako papapiliin.. i'll go for the civic :D dami pwede mods nyan ;)
Dami nga mods, mahal naman. For the price of an old Civic you can get a 2003 model Lynx.
yup..between this 3 mods po sana..but if you have other choice ill consider that..can you site poh several advantage of other cars..Another one buying a 2nd hand car we all know that medjo sirain na siya kya im looking forward sa mdali imaintain..
AE101 nalang. Napakatibay nito at napakadali at napakamura i-maintain. Its sheer number still running on the streets and also its wide taxi usage is proof to its reliability. For modification, changing to a 4AGE engine would do wonders to this car.
Having first-hand experience on those three models (owned 1 Lancer itlog, 2 ESis and maintained a friend's Corolla XE bigbody) ... lahat sila hindi magiging sakit sa ulo kung marunong ka ng basics sa pangangalikot or at least alam mo yung mga tamang way sa pag-repair at mapg-maintain ng auto.
Lancer itlog = marupok ang dashboard center console, bumabagsak. karamihan ng nakikita ko at sa kakilala ko ay blow-by na at kailangan ng overhaul (mahina piston rings?)
Corolla (XE model ha) = hirap timplahin ng karburador at patinuin ang menor pag nagloloko and idle-up actuators)
ESi = no major mechanical problems sa far except sa "bulutong" issue
mga alam kong pwedeng maging issues mo sa mga models na gusto mo bilhin.
toyota corolla - power steering problem
honda esi - rust problem, lalo na sa bubungan
lancer itlog - underchassis kalampagin and servo problems
bought a 2nd hand car last year,
honda esi and ae101 ang choices ko,
natuloy ko yung ae101. and yes, the power steering problem
lumitaw few months after ko makuha yung unit, pinapalitan ko ng
surplus na rack and pinion, and okei na.
goodluck sa pagpili sir
practicality wise and among your choices, i would go for the civic.
but if you have other choices, also consider the sentra b14 super saloon.
