Odometer reading: 114,978 km (but i usually do not trust odometers on used car dealers, any under-the-tree mechanic can reverse the reading with a hand drill)

Dealer asking price is PhP 450,000.00.....trying to negotiate it at 400k or even lower (380k).

Observations:
1. tires on front and rear were made on 2010 & 2012 with about 50% tread life...plus tires on the front are "DURUN" brand, while the rear is "WESTLAKE" (boyband ba itetch?)
2. probably front shock absorbers were shot (traces of leaks present)
3. the boot covers on the steering rack also show some traces of leaks
4. balljoints probably not yet replaced. though ball joint rubber boot covers are not torn (yet)
5. timing belt probably not replaced (i really don't trust even if they say it's replaced already)
6. no thermostat (water flowed when the engine was cold started)
7. engine starts right away (cold and hot)
8. soft upper and lower radiator hose
9. not the original seats and side covers
10. owned by a private school in laguna (so probably driven hard by the school driver)
11. last record on the maintenance history was on 5,000 km mark...probably the school motorpool did the repair and maintenance themselves.
12. fresh white paint (probably a hilamos)
13. oil leak at the engine-transmission bellhousing point (either engine rear oil seal or transmission front seal)
14. no test drive yet. will get back to it some later time on weekends.
