good day to all!

i am new in this forum (around 2-3hrs of being a member) and would like to seek your help regarding purchase of a second hand vehicle.

i am planning to purchase a vehicle suited to my budget of 250K. basically, the vehicle will be used driving around the city and occassionally, some out of town trips. any honest to goodness advice on what particular model/brand of vehicle suited to my budget?

i appreciate all inputs from you guys.

regards.

m/t or a/t?

Some choices in that range.

1998 Corolla GLi
1998 Civic Lxi
1999-2000 Sentra SS
2000-2001 Ford Lynx

Suzuki Esteem Wagons are cool [and a bit unique] too. You get a lot more metal for the money.

subaru(not NORKIS) legacy?nissans?

I would suggest a Sentra series 3 1998-2000 model.

a newer car would mean less problems than an older one.

hello once again!
i did some google recently on BUY and Sell magazine and found out the following:

Nissan Sentra SS 2000 = 280K
Nissan Sentra SS 1999 = 245K
Lancer GLXi 1999 = 300K

don't know the market values of different brands and models, perhaps you could help me if these are good buys.

so, for 250K, i could get 98-01 models as posted by vinj?

nissan looks fitted for me, any price range for Nissans?

good day to everyone!

post another question (sana meron sumagot, hehehe):

are these good buys?
-97 Lancer Glxi = 195K (second owner, M/T, 112T kms, pioneer cd
- 96 Civic vtec = 280K (74T kms, all power)
- 2000 Sentra Fe Exalta look = 220K (m/t, 15" mags)
-Exalta 200 = 300K (55T kms)

medyo hirap ako mag-decide, perhaps you could advice on the current market value of these vehicles for sale kung ok na sya.

thanks in advance!

At that range, medyo may edad na yung mabibili mo so maintenance will be a major concern. I suggest for models na readily (and cheaper) available ang parts para you can keep it fairly reliable for your out of town trips.
City driving so it's up to you to choose between economy (M/T) or convenience (A/T).
Are you planning to do mods?

Looks like a Toyota Corolla is your best bet.
