Hi! Car newbie here! Was gonna ask about used Vios cars. 2008 1.5 G A/T vs 2011 1.3 E A/T?

**rhaenys1101** · November 2nd, 2017 01:53 AM

2008 model has 90k tkms on it and 2011 model has 85k tkms on it. Which one would be a better buy for 200k something? Huhu.

Please enlighten me. Vios talaga gusto ko eh. HAHAHA. Thank you so much!

buti hindi manual or else taxi unit most likely...

i didnt know the prices are that low...

go for the newer car... it probably went thru less floods 😅

try if you can get the service history.. kung wala bring a mechanic to inspect for leaks and rust... most likely the brake rotors and pads need replacement... ac charging maybe needed. sparkplugs are probably seized or needing replacement. transmission oil probably was skipped... spare tire could be useless..

Given that the odometer readings are genuine and accurate, mas laspag ang 2011 unit, travelling around 15tkms per year, as compared to the other unit with just 9000+ kms/year.

I personally prefer the 1.5G, but I suggest you visit both units first and in the meantime, look for more units to compare with.

Actually I'm looking at 290k and 330k respectively. Very expensive here sa Pampanga.

Leaning towards the 2011 one bec. it's black but the 1.5 G's specs is kinda magnetizing hahaha

Idk why they resell old models nang ganun kamahal dito sa Pampanga.

Actually yun din ang iniisip ko, kinocompare ko mileage nila mas reasonable yung 1.5 G.

With regards to parts accessibility din napaisip ako, hindi ba na-discontinue yung mga 1.3E or is that just for 2010 below? Kaya atm I'm really leaning towards the 1.5 G. What can you say about a 2007 1.5 S btw? Sorry if I'm asking too many questions.

Hindi naman siya nadiscontinue. Yung City/Jazz ang nadiscontinue ang 1.3L variants (now filled in by the Brio). Hindi pa naman tayo makakapagdecide base lang sa sinulat nila. Check out both cars and have a feel of them.

1. i prefer dealing with first-owner cars. yung seller-owner. no middleman. i want to believe they are more honest than those who make a living by selling cars. also, i prefer seller-owners who are "richer"; those who do not need the money. it somehow gives me the impression that they have money to maintain the car.
2. MT over AT, if used. MT is, by virtue of its engineering, more robust than AT, and suggests less problems down the road.
3. younger car over older car. except, if the older is unquestionably in better condition than the younger car.
4. provenance. "do you know the owner enough, as to assume that he actually took good care of the car?"

5. DON'T RUSH! it's a buyers' market out there! you have the gold, you make the rules! if in doubt, just walk away. marami pang ibang kotse diyan.
6. go over the car with a fine-tooth comb. if you don't know how, hire somebody who does. always look under the car. under the bumpers. shake the parts. get your hands dirty. it's a used car! no warranties at all. no return-no exchange!

sabi nga ng iba, "bili ka sa duktor".
heh heh.
