Buying a 2nd hand car (Buy and Sell Offers strictly prohibited, FAQ on Page 1)

  • ^ano kaya reason bakit nasira, possibly driving habits? hindi naman siguro lemon unit kasi umabot pa ng 5 years e and hindi naman siguro lahat ng same unit e may ganyang problem?
    sobrang sayang
  • Minalas lang siguro paps. Never siya sumablay ng maintenance at kada maintenance pa sa casa niya pinapa gawa. Mukang hindi driving habits, di naman siya barubal mg drive, kaya inis na inis siya dahil unang brand new na sasakyan nya, sumablay pa agad. Gusto nya tumagal kaya talagang sunod sa maintenance schedule. Mas matagal pa di hawak inabot yung 2007 na Civic na kinuha niya ng 2nd hand.
  • May ganyan din 2013 Mirage HB CVT namin.

    Don't get it. Mga 3 or 4x na ata kami tinirik niyan sobrang sakit sa ulo.

    Culprit is fuel pump always failing.

    Sa CASA kasama fuel tank (16k), ayaw nila ibenta na fuel pump lang.

    Tapos yung replacement brand sa Banawe, mga 6 months or less lang tinatagal.

    thanks for the warning.... malapit ko nang pinagiisipan ko kumuha niyan

    plano ko pa naman bihisin ng pormang Twingo yan (as meme mobile, refer to Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance)... scratch that on my list then =P
  • Pa-advise naman po for an entry-level used SUV para sa unang car na bibilhin (newbie). SUV po kasi ang gusto para po marami-rami ang pwedeng makasakay.

    Yung hanap po ay yung tipong matipid sa krudo (fuel economy). As such, ok lang po kung maliit ang makina or yung engine displacement (hindi importante kung mahina ang hatak, etc. basta makakatipid overall.

    Yung SUV din po sana matipid ang maintenance like yung mura lang ang spare parts kapag pinagawa sa mga talyer lang (or somewhere na mas mura and not necessarily sa casa).

    Also, from my understanding, mas lumang model or year ay siyempre mas mura. Pero somehow nag-improve ang fuel economy technology kapag mas bago.

    With those in mind, ano po ang masa-suggest niyo na brand/model/year?


    Toyota Revo or Toyota Innova. Pwede din Avanza
  • nagtanong din akosa FB,, ok lang daw na expired daw ID.. ang kelangan lang hindi valid yung DOS kasi may notaryo.

    bro medyo naguluhan ako dito


    i mean ang kelangan na dapat valid yung notaryo ng Deed of Sale (if natatakan na) para di mahirapan matransfer ownership

  • Toyota Revo or Toyota Innova. Pwede din Avanza

    hindi naman yan SUV ser.
  • oo nga pala SUV anak ng.

    Fortuner or Trailblazer kaso sa maintenance mas pasok For
  • ^curious lang, kamusta mag alaga ng auto kuya mo? sa 5 years na gamit mostly wear and tear na kasi yan.

    Yan din kinakatakot ko sa CVT engine kasi though mababa ang failure rate eh pag ikaw naman natapatan ng sira at di na covered ng warranty eh talagang iyak tawa ka na lang sa gastos.

    Honest naman ang seller at sinabi ang issue.


    tama yung sinabi ng iba na kung known yung issue at di ipinaayos eh malamang either magastos/mahirap ayusin or recurrent yung problem kaya binenta as is. para sakin kung bibili ka ng 2nd hand at engine may issue eh hanap ka na lang ng iba. dami naman dyan.

    complete Docs ang issue lang yung ID ng 1st owner expired ng Dec 2018

    ang gawin mo paps puntahan mo yung LTO kung saan mo balak ipalipat yun sasakyan if kukunin mo at dun ka mag inquire. kung may mag offer sayo ng "tulong" eh ok yan. pero kung wala, baka di na mailipat sa pangalan mo yan.
  • ^curious lang, kamusta mag alaga ng auto kuya mo? sa 5 years na gamit mostly wear and tear na kasi yan.

    Kahit sobrang abusado ka sa CVT mo for 5 years hindi pa din dapat masira yan ganyang kaaga.

    I mean, what can you do ba to abuse it? The ECU/TCM will prevent it.

  • di ba yun mga simpleng habit na akala natin ay minsan yun pa ang nagcacause ng poblema in the long run kunyari nakapatong ang kamay sa stick, switching to reverse without coming to full stop, dry steering, resting your feet in clutch etc
    e iba iba naman tayo ng driving habits kaya nga tinanong ko din sa taas kung baka possibly driving habits
  • driving habits. maybe resting your hand on the knob etc.
  • Kahit sobrang abusado ka sa CVT mo for 5 years hindi pa din dapat masira yan ganyang kaaga.

    Hula ko dun either hinde pa hinog ang CVT technology ...

    Kahit ang Powershift ng Ford hinde nga perfect and some car manufacturers starting to push through DCT

    Wag Chevy Trailblazer... kung wala kang kilalang Chevy na specialist for ECU/Onboard computer to reset their "go to nearest service center" error

    Fortuner or Isuzu MU-X might be the best pick for SUV choices, somehow Ford Everest seems mixed reviews on my side, no news about nissan's Terra

    ilusong sa baha, idaan sa sa lubak lubak na kala mo naka 4x4, gamit lang ng gamit at walang maintenance, overused (pinang taxi or uber) plus pa yung mga binanggit sa itaas.
  • Any one who is still driving a Civic 2000 vtec? Is it still a viable 2nd hand car? Na-hype ako ng vtec nya.
  • what's "dry steering"?
  • Sabi ng bestfriend ko, si Google:

    "Dry steering is the act of turning the steering wheel of a vehicle while the vehicle is stationary. This action puts strain on the rack and pinion, pump, tie rods, and bearings, especially causes undue wear to the steer wheels, and can be exceptionally difficult in the absence of power-assisted steering."
  • yes - baling ng manibela habang nakatigil. sabi nila hindi na daw totoo yun sa mga newer vehicles dahil sa new technology (insert your explanation)
    pero dahil old school ako and yun din ang bilin ng driving school e susundin ko yun ano ba naman yun susundin ko yun kesa naman gumastos ako dahil masiraan ako ng kung anong powersteering component o cvjoint o kung anu pa man

    Ika nga nila old hondas dont die, they go faster
  • Sa suv kung mag test drive ka wag mo unahin ford everest, ma dissapoint ka sa ibang brand, maganda din ang terra
  • weird. same strain lang naman sa parts yun PS or not di ba.
  • Ika nga nila old hondas dont die, they go faster

    At least hinde din sila na nasali sa over appreciated price dahil sa certain car anime...

    Still driving. Naipundar ko nung binata pa ko. Mga bagong honda yata ngayon 1.5 na lahat yung lumalabas.
  • nakita ko lang sa FB group
  • Bakit sad day dun sa shop?
  • ^
    manloloko yung shop, para maiwasan.

    after two years of supposed "Work" this is what i have to deal with.

    Officially done!
    DO NOT TRUST Oliver & Thet Body Works And Car Care Services.
    They have f*&ked me no more!

    They say they will finish my car in three weeks.
    body needed to be completed
    electrical needed to be done
    A/C needed to be installed
    Fiberglass work to the gauge cluster

    Marites Oliver Barola (Wife/Owner) just now told me only the orriginal work order is going to be completed and the car will be finished in 3 week.

    Which was just stop to metal repair body, electrical, engine and suspension.

    The car was supposed to be finished in 6 months after it started in 2017. Two and a half years for now half of the work agreed on and over 200k spent.
  • yan problema pag kuha ng kuha ng gawa eh
  • 2 years and 200k spent sa talyer lang? mas malala pa sa casa yan.
  • Which was just stop to metal repair body, electrical, engine and suspension.
    strip to metal?

    2 years and 200k spent sa talyer lang? mas malala pa sa casa yan.
