Honda SIR - why ang daming haters?

[renzo_d10]

Thanks bro!
Pero may specific model/yr ba yung patok talaga?

1998-2000 Honda Civic SiR -- meron nga nagbebenta nito ng 550k! :faint:

Well, if you can find a fresh Honda Civic VTi MT ... better. But those doesn't come by quite often. Puro AT nalang kasi binebenta, I guess for keeps na yung VTi MT.

Hirap na rin kasi makahanap ng fresh SiR, kadalasan abused kasi nga stock palang eh may power in store na.

Thanks bro, I'll keep that in my mind.

Pero 550k, wow! Baka naka-kwadro pa yan.hehehe

Ok lang sa price na 550 kung super busog talaga yong SiR nya

no, kahit gaano ka fresh at heavily modified yan a 12-13yr old car shouldn't cost that much.

[uls]

kung sobra bugbog pwede sa P550,000...

then pag wasak sa accident na humiwalay ng 15 ft away ang makina sa sasakyan P1,000,000 is a good price

550k could get you a Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R (if you find one, that is). Not in perfectly good condition, but hey, it'd take a heavily modified SiR to match that on a straight line, and ewan ko lang kung makasabay sa corners ang SiR kay Gozilla.

Point is, while the SiR is a good car in itself, primarily because of the B16A that comes as standard, its prices in the market today are way too high to be considered practical. You can find faster and more comfortable cars for the price of the SiR.

About 2-3 years back, I wanted an SiR. Then I realized prices weren't dropping, so my wishlist shifted to either an AE101 with a 4AGE or a B13 with an SR20DE. Then about a year ago, I realized that these are ~15 year-old cars, and while they have fun engines, their chassis aren't all that modern, and they haven't really got much features to speak of. So right now, I've shifted my eyes on to the Lynx RS. Hopefully by the time I've got 250k to spend, meron pang natitirang for sale.

Hehehe. If I remember correctly, 685k lang ata SiR before... can someone confirm this? Di ko na kasi maalala. Hehehe.

[KEN SIAO]

UU nasa 600 plus ata price nung unang labas ng SiR.

[Harangody]

Kung 550k, mag FD ka na lang, 450k lang.

Honda and Isuzu are car brands that are benefiting from old school pinoy thinking na da best gas or diesel cars. Toyota may have somehow capitalized laso on brand perception pero medyo acceptable pa kahit papano IMO. 'Di gaya ng Isuzu and Honda na parang all models eh super taas pa ng resale value.

[niwde11]

price are usually dependent on the market. kung marami ang demand at maliit ang market medyo kakaiba talaga magiging pricing.
alam nyo ba yung isang sasakyan na nirelease nung 1998 ay nag-appreciate pa ngayon 2012. afaik 2008 pa lang appreciate na sya kasi konti lang ang dumating at di inaasahang magkakaron ng demand sa market years after it was released.
and the car is stock ha. di sya "modified" or "busog"?

[kodiak]

That's economics... Plain and simple. I dont know why it's hard to understand. Hanggat madaming umaasam at nagaagawan mas mahirap kuhanin. Magaling ang marketing ng Honda sa SiR and hindi naman din pangit performance and looks. So ayun ang phenomenon ng high price nya. You can always settle for the more affordable one if budget is the problem. But you will sacrifice your dream, if you really want an SiR... And yung mga nahuhumaling naman sa SiR or whatever na kotse at parang mga adik sa pagpupuri sa sasakyan nila, hayaan niyo na sila. Dumaan din naman kayo dun di ba? So mauunawaan niyo din dapat. Lest you be labeled a hypocrite.

Swerte pala talaga ng mga nakabili ng SIR nung unang ilabas dito. Pwera na lang yung mga naaksidente dahil na rin sa recklessness nila.

Swerte talaga. Nagamit mo na ng ilang beses kaya mo pa ibenta ng 100-300k less from its original price lang. Usually, buyers wouldn't care much about sa mileage ng SiR mo. Lalo na yung mga talagang nagkukumahog makakuha ng isa? Walang pakielam. Basta bihis.. WOW! kaagad sila.

That's the advantage you get from having one, isa pa.. if you're lucky enough to get a fresh unit for 250k.. you can sell it for as much as 400k at may papatos pa rin. Kumita ka pa. Hahaha.

+ 1000 paps
ofcourse sa bago ka .
panget nga ng FB..diko pagpapalit FD ko..for keeps na ..10yrs from now magiging classic na din ang FD just like SIR..hehehe

400k sa 12yrs old car?...

[uls]

eto magiging classic hehe

[renzo_d10]

400k sa 12yrs old car?...

Yep. 12-14 year-old vehicle.

Alam mo naman diba, 'til now may nagkukumahog pa rin talaga para makakuha ng isang SiR no matter how crappy the condition is, already.

[ozcity]
