on the fact that after a testdrive and careful checkup hat both cars are ok, i would get the newer one or the one with the lower mileage.
but then again, after a testdrive.

Thanks sir sa input? You think the pricing is just right for both cars? Ano po ba usually ggawin for 80k pms and or sa 100k pms? Any suggestion po to check aside from doing a test drive? TIA

anong model?

**7138** · October 1st, 2013 06:27 PM

2007 Jazz/City, GD model pa.

Be very careful, kung CVT parehas yan, check mo mabuti transmission,
malaki chance kasi na problemado na tranny nyan, and this will give you pretty much of a headache.
kung MT naman, wala ka magiging problema sa tranny, mas madaling solusyonan ang sliding clutch, palit lang yan.

check mo sa trunk yung spare tire well, GD jazz has a common problem of leaking water dun, and forming rust,
madali lang din naman solusyonan yun, idouble check mo lang kung nangalawang na or hindi pa.

tungkol naman sa price, anung variant ba ng jazz yung dalawa? 1.5vtec or 1.3idsi?

Thank you sir..first car ko po ito so not really an expert s car..panu po malalaman kung problemado na ang tranny ng cvt model..as for the spare tire well, il take a note of that sir..re the price, its a 1.5 variant po..is 400k reasonable? Or mas advisable ang 2005 1.3idsi AT (saw one with lower mileage, around 50k km for 330k)? Most likely po kc weekend ko lng mggamit and MT is not an option for now.Tnx

Kung ako, i would walk away sa CVT trans GD models, search ka din dito ng mga posts regarding CVT trans problems ng GDs,
yung 1.5 ba is MT din ba? if so, if you could slash 20-30k from the asking price, sulit na yan, of course, check mo syempre ng mabuti yung unit,
and service records kung meron, check mo din.

If medyo gusto mo ng power, dont expect the 1.3 variant (idsi) get your heart pumping, matipid sya oo, may lakas din naman sya oo,
pero para ka lang laging nakachill driving pag yun dala mo. Get the 1.5vtec version for some extra push pag kailangan.

OR, another option, mas mura yung City GD models, same engine lang naman, kaha lang difference, minsan pa nga
makakakuha ka ng 1.5vtec City GD for less than 300k, fresh unit pa yan..

07 pala. that could be the reason bakit gusto ng idispatsa ng may-ari yan.
tama yung sabi nila. hanap ka na lang ng other options.

**RafiTriya** · October 3rd, 2013 01:53 AM

sir ID4LV, what do you mean po? Ano po ba issue ng CVT bukod sa tranny issue? saka paano po malalaman kung problematic ung tranny ng cvt? would you agree po na mas ok pa ung 2005 1.3idsi na jazz?

"MT is not an option for now" - nabasa ko lang

jazz

tama ung naunang nag comment, addition to that kung 2007 yan alam ko MMC TOTL 1.5vtec a/t kung sa 400k kahit sana mabawasan mo ng 20k 380 pwede na kxe TOTL nman,

dun nman sa 1.3idsi ganyan din dati hanap ko manual na matipid sa sobrang kong tgal na naghahanap ng auto sa mga advertising site at sa dami kong mga inquiran kaya kumuha ng 280k - 310k sa unit na yan

JAZZ or CITY - 100% i go for jazz why? Hatch eh ^_^
