Assuming you don't know the seller, it would be wise to have the car's registrations checked for any problems.

Next is to have someone who knows about cars to go with you and check out the car. Make sure there is no fluid leaks anywhere. Ask questions regarding the car's history like any major accidents. Try to compare notes like if the seller mentioned no major accidents but you can spot a welded/replaced structural section, you might want to walk away.

Do a test drive. Make sure nothing squeaks or grinds. Test the a/c if it runs cold. Try to make your test drive on a sunny day and near the middle of the day to check if the a/c is running ok. Drive over small bumps and humps to check if the suspension feels ok. Accelerate and brake hard to see of the engine & brake systems are fine.

Sorry sir, I dont know the FC...

But dont expect Jazz-like figures/Hybrid figures...

Basta well maintained vehicles will give you good FC performance.

Looks can be deceiving ...

Try test driving it to have the feel of the car, bring a good trustworthy mechanic to assess the car.

gas consumption .. sa tingin ko malakas .. knowing that its a 2 liter engine ...
Dont be deceived by the looks .. naghanda na yung seller to make it look good para mbilis mabenta .. di bale na madumi basta maganda performance .. maganda nga pero bibigyan ka naman ng sakit ng ulo instead of relief .. magsama ka ng mekaniko na trusted mo so he can check it all up .. or better bring an appraiser with you
