Sedan for 200k

**tsinelas30** · January 26th, 2018 11:51 AM

Last 2012 dito ako sa tsikot forum humingi ng advise para sa 1st car ko for 120k budget.
Sentra ang napili ko.
120k Budget para sa una kong ride

Ngayon nabenta ko na yung sentra at masasabi ko na hindi ako nagkamali sa mga inadvise ng forum na to. Sulit na sulit sakin at hindi sumakit ulo ko. :D

Kaya bumabalik ako at hihingi ule ng mga pro tips nyo.

200k budget ngayon at gusto ko sana ma-maximize yung budget.
Pinaka latest model na kaya at yung hindi mahirap sa maintenance.

Options ko.

MAZDA3
LANCER
CITY iDSI

Gusto ko sana malaman kung kamusta gas consumption ng 3 na yan.
Parts availability?

Same use padin pang weekend car lang kasama family.

Sinusubukan ko mag review sa FB kaso kadalasan ng mga group ng mga yan exclusive lang sa mga owner na.

Salamat in advance. :D

Stretch budget to Civic 2006 up, altis 2008 up...

Not-so-wild option, Camry 2003 up. Matibay pero malakas din sa gas hehe

even an altis 2003 would be good. i drive one. but get a feel, first. some folks find it a bit cramped.
and as is for all used cars, look for one that wasn't mal-treated by the owner.

A late model year Nissan Sentra N16 GS will be a good option.

i was also about to recommend a sentra, because i used to have one for 13 years. no major issues naman.
but his thread above mentions that he just sold his sentra.

TS, i still ask myself why i ever sold my sentra. i drive a 2003 altis AT now.
mas magaan i-drive ang sentra na yun.

Hi Sir. yup wala akong naging prob sa sentra. dumating lang yung time na gusto ko po mag upgrade.
Highly recommended padin ang sentra for 120k below budget.

Nung una target ko N16 since kabisado ko na mga bilihan ng parts at mga suking mekaniko na magaling sa sentra.. kaso ayaw ni misis. mas maganda pa daw yung B14 namin..(SABI NYA)

Naghahanap ka ba ng bigger car? If not check Honda Jazz GD.

Since ayaw nyo na ng Sentra, why not try the Lancer Cedia, Yung CVT 2009 model. Pwede kahit 2007 CVT model pwede. We owned both the Sentra N16 and the Lancer Cedia, and between the two, we enjoyed the Lancer more. If you're a relaxed driver, you will appreciate the Lancer's CVT, due to its efficiency and smoothness. With your budget, you can also find Corolla's and Civic's, but with that budget, you get newer Lancer's and Sentra's. Best way to enjoy your target ride is test driving them, see what fits your preference and of course, budget.

Goodluck!
