Link to tips on buying second hand cars

Hello po. Newbie here. I plan to buy a second hand Fortuner. Anong car exchange (buy and sell stores?) po ba ang mapagkakatiwalaan? I'm from Marikina.

Try Olx. Look for the best deal. Buy and sell store prices are often ridiculously expensive.

They are also notorious for rolling back odometers ... Digital odometers can be adjusted ... Even Euro cars ... Deal directly with the owner seller ...

FB buy and sell groups are overrated ... The cars being sold there are sometimes more expensive ... Also there are a lot of buy and sell agents in FB groups posing as owners ...

True... Even they readily admit that it is easily done. Just not in the unit that they are trying to sell to you, especially if it is a high mileage unit. [emoji23]

Small time bayan sellers are also usually more honest and open to negotiation than big shops.

Scrutinize the condition of the car if it correlates to the indicated mileage. My current daily driver, a 2007 Santa Fe, was bought January last year with 74tkms mileage. Leather upholstery on steering wheel and seats were in top shape apart from slight wear on the left border of the driver's seat with no signs of reupholstery. No sounds from the suspension at the time of purchase. Slight vibration under initial acceleration indicative of worn out engine supports. Given the last price of 430k, it was a decent deal.

Just had a taste of this, 1st owner daw ang benta nya, when I asked if he is the owner, friend daw nya

it's easy naman to find out who the real owner is/was.
it's in the CR.

Maraming salamat mga sirs sa insights, got my 2nd hand very fresh black 2010 Corolla Altis G A/T model (47K kms mileage) for a very very good deal. Almost new tires, never been used spare tires, fresh in and out, casa-maintained, wala na kong hahanapin pa. Tested it sa startoll at 120 kph di ko na sinagad basta I'm impressed kaya di ko na binitawan... I don't care anymore kung medyo mataas ang FC nito as long as I'm happy with our new used car.

i would probably take extra effort and go to the ones who are the actual owners of the cars they are selling.
i have this suspicion that they are more honest than the bayan sellers.
at mas madali pa sigurong matawaran.
