hello there!

im looking for a new car. im a college student and its my first time driving. my mom wants me to buy a "practice car" from what she had been referring to lately. she's been telling me that i might crash the car so she wont be buying me an expensive one first. i dont know much about cars really. her budget is 80k.

so any suggestions what models i can buy for that kind of car?

i want something good looking so yeah.

im just going to drive it around my area only or in my school.
so yeah.
thanks.

You could probably find a 1990-1992 Toyota Corolla. But it won't have any "power" features like power steering, power locks, power windows, etc. Good condition examples of these would be in the 100K to 130K range.

Your mentioned budget of P80K is really low. It won't get you much of a car, more like a rust bucket where you will end up spending more on repairs.

You can check out the cars advertised on the classifieds section of tsikot.com

Some cars that can pass your budget would be the old VW beetle.

323 gen 1 pasok sa budget or di kaya mag kia pride ka...practice car lang naman,e...

pwede din rolla 89-90..tito ko nga nakakuha ng good speciment gl for 55T...

hmmm... tight budge, practice car...

miss, i have a question, saan ka sanay, matic or manual? or should i say which do you prefer, a matic tranny or manual tranny?

kung budget, maybe at that 130k, i could suggest nissan sentra 1.6 super saloon, may power features na yun. or a 1992 model galant gti (ang 1 sa gusto kong kotse), medyo malaking kotse nga lang siya pero may power features na din siya.

maybe buying car ads like car finder, buy and sell may help you. also yun, sabi ni sir gh check the internet like tsikot.biz, or any online classified ads made for cars. hope this helps you and welcome to tsikot family

if I had a budget of 80k kia pride kunin ko. wag lang pang longdrive sa expressway

kia pride. may automatic nyan, yung gtx 4 door, and a couple of 5 door models pero 99 models and later.

ofcmate ko nakabili daw, ni-refer pa ng casa sa kanya, 50k lang.

easy to drive, easy to park, fairly reliable, roomy, cute and chic tignan. pag nasira makina kahit di mo pa overhaul, 8k lang surplus (DAW).
