Hi Everyone! Im a New Zealand resident and a balikbayan to be. I will be visiting Philippines on May and will be there for about 6 months. I need a reliable car that I can use during my brief stay and perhaps selling it again when I leave or may just give it to my brother. It will definitely be well used as I intend to drive around Luzon. Ive checked the classified ads and I tell you, cars are very expensive there. My daily ride here is a green E36 BMW 320i Coupe which I bought for just $5600 equivalent to P168K. I have posted photos of it and you may want to take a peek. Just to compare, for my budget of P300k, i will be able to buy here in NZ the following:
1. 1996 E36 BMW 318is coupe - $6000 (P120k)
2. 1998 E46 BMW 318i sedan - $11000 (P330k)
