Help need your suggestion planning to buy esi 95 matic.. is it a good choice?

Sir Jamie,

Magmanual tranny ka na lang. Kasi mahirap na bumili ng 2nd hand car with AT tranny lalo na at 90's ba bibilhin mo. Baka sirain na yan or what. Alam ko na traffic sa MM pero baka bigyan ka pa ng problema ng AT tranny ng mga 90's car. Kung gusto mo naman na AT tranny, ask the owner kung CASA maintained and kung ok pa yung pagshift ng tranny niya sa D or sa R o kung saan man. Lalo na pagcold start :blue:

Just my two cents

+1. go for the manual tranny. A/T malakas sa gaso. Toyota corolla vs. Honda Civic Esi. Each has its pros and cons. Kun ako Civic pa din e.

Kung porma ang hanap mo, I admit....maporma ang ESi lalo na pagpinalagyan mo ng mods na babagay. If you want space....get the toyota. Sakin kasya ang 4 people sa likod, nakakasandal pa.

Check papres if clean and complete at hindi ENCUMBERED
Bring a trusted mechanic (cannot bypass if you're mechanically challenged)

. Parehas kami may civic and corolla nun. Mas gamitin talaga yun corolla xl . Tpid talaga sa gas. Mas mura pa piyesa sa banawe. Mas madali din pagawa. Sanay na kasi mekaniko sa corolla. Pag may problema usually alam agad nila sira di kamukha sa civic kamot pa ng ulo.

I've never tried na magpagawa sa banawe. Puro casa yung corolla ko. haha. Pero, oo matipid ang corolla sa gas. Kaya lang mabigat na talaga sa bulsa yung Xtra Unleaded ngayon 33.25 na Sana maging 20+ ulit para masaya

OKs pa rin naman ang Esi, but only if you have a little more budget for maintenance, versus the Gli. Most Honda parts have a bit of a premium in pricing versus Toyota parts.

Some inputs:
Exterior looks - Esi
Interior looks - Esi
legroom space - Esi
riding comfort - Esi
maintenance cost - Gli
rust resistance - Gli
fuel economy - same
resale value - same
reliability - same

For me, fun factor wise, Esi pa rin, but if you're budget is limited, I'd reco stick with the Gli instead.

Good luck in your pick.

It depends on the extent (repairs) that would be done to the vehicle. For a good measure allot around 20k to 25k for the repairs.

With regards to the leaks it depends what kind or nature of leaks we are talking about. If it's just gaskets and o-rings, it might run up to a few thousands. If there is still left overs from the repairs then you could add some accessories to spice up your ride.
