    Sentra gx? That car has been onsale for the most part of the last decade. maybe not as abundant as a vios, but there is still an existing parts market outside the casa as it is also used by some taxis.

    The Sentra N16 platform has been available locally since 2001. Parts are surely abundant - Yen and Nisparts at Banawe are the most common shops you can go to. If you can find the GS (AT) or GSX (MT) model, that would be better as these have better features and fuel consumption is no different than the GX model with the 1.3L engine. The QG13 engine is not that powerful but it offers better low end torque than Toyota's 1.3L engine.

    The only key issue with the N16 platform is its front suspension. The rubber bushings on the front lower suspension arms need replacement every year but it is an easy fix.

    are you the one personally looking at the cars? or is someone doing it for you?
    ...hard to decide, if one has to rely on a middleman's opinion, even as she's your spouse.

    if i may,
    go vios or altis. ...the older models, if you need to stick within your budget.
    there's a lot of them in the market.
    and if it needs fixin', the market is awash with knowledgeable mechanics and parts.

    btw,
    repossessed cars is for knowledgeable buyers, in my opinion. the repossessor makes no warranties of any kind. only that, "if it breaks in two, you own both pieces".
    personally, i prefer buying from owner-sellers.

    happy hunting.

    i am not in the philippines. i asked my wife to physically check the cars and if it is okay, she will come back with a mechanic for a more thorough inspection. sold my 2010 i10 too soon. i am going home in a few weeks. kaya medyo nagmamadali maghanap. LOL. thanks for the tips.
