First Batch Batman Vios VS. Honda City Last Batch idsi

[Memphis.Rhaines]

Mga masters, mejo may konting dilemma ako. Inaantay ko nlng kc ung cheke na lumabas para maiuwi ko na ung honda city 1.3A M/T 2008 idsi model. Eh may sign of leaks daw sa shock absorbers and palitin na ung trailing arm bushing and rusty engine support. But the ride is still good per company mechanic. Tapos ndi pa sya 2012 registered since '0' ang end ng plaka.
Then, may isa akong friend may vios sya batman model na. First batch nung september 2007. He's selling it for 360k. Tawaran ko pa sana ng 350k eh. (sana pumayag). Vios 1.3E kung kayo sir ang papipiliin, considering the fact na 2012 registered na ung vios and modelo prn sya ano ang best decision po dito? Pls pa-help naman. I'm torn. Btw, 345k pala ung honda city 2008 1.3A m/t idsi. Pls help!

if memory serves me right, yung first generation city ay hindi napapalitan ang trailing arm bushing sa harapan. buong assembly ang pinapalitan. mahal..libo.. ganyan ba din ang 2008?..
leaking shocks, rusty engine support.. sounds like an abusive user, considering 2008 lang yan.. 37K mileage? i doubt it.. considering the repairs already in line..
i'd pass this up, if it were me.. i'll say the loan was disapproved..
vios na lang siguro. generally cheaper and more readily available parts.. i doubt if it can get much worse than what the city is already showing..

Thanks sir dr. D sa info. Di ko alam sir kng ung sa city eh bushing lng tlga or buong assembly ung papalitan. Nakakaduda ba sir ung 37k mileage? Bakit? Na-tatamper ba un? Kahit digital? Nag-earnest na ko sir ng 5k eh. Nag provide na sya ng pnp clearance. Mababawi ko pa ba ung dinown ko? And pano dskarte dun? Huhu.

Sna mging ok ung vios. Para swabe na ang lahat. Papa-check ko p rn un eh. Thanks sir. Baka may ideas pa kau as to what to choose and why, pls help. Thanks.

Vios ako. Dun ako sa kotseng hindi ako bibigyan ng sakit ng ulo.

[bayen]

i would go with the vios on this one. in terms of maintenance its easier. parts availability is also abundant.

[myk384]

Vios na ako dito in this case.

[Memphis.Rhaines]

Pero mga sirs, tama ba ung sinabi ni dr. D na buong assbly papalitan dun sa trailing arm. Ndi bushing lmg? Mgkano un? Waaaah buti pla nag 2nd opinion ako sa tsikot bago ako napasubo. Tsaka bossing, ung digital odo ba natatamper with dn?

[renzo_d10]

Yup natatamper din siya.

Regarding sa buong assembly, siguro. Marunong si dr. d sa kotse eh. Tsaka meron kami Honda, magastos talaga yan.

37k sa loob ng 4 years, pwede yan kung di nya nagagamit talaga masyado ang kotse. yung oto ko na katulad nyan nasa 75k+ na ang ODO! parehas naman matipid sa gas yan, yung sa akin nag-aaverage pa naman ng 14km/l. doon ka na lang siguro sa VIOS kasi wala ka na ata papaayos!
