Hello,
I just wanted and know your thoughts hindi ako ganon pa ka knowledgeable tbh. My boss decided to dispose his Toyota Fortuner it’s a 2014 Gasoline variant, and planning to replace it with a brand new car.
Now, ako na nagbabalak kumuha ng first car.
The Fortuner was offered to me for ₱550K.
BUT initially I was also considering a 2nd hand car din na sedan Ideally honda city or civic ung mga 2017-2018 model sana.
History of the car:
It was only used initially for hospital visit/service before kaya ang baba nung total mileage niya until today, and was now transitioned to company car and occasional use for property visits sa province ng EA niya.
- It’s not tampered. It’s ODO is less than 50K, parang 42K+ ata nung huling kita ko back in February (it is mostly used lang kapag umuuwi siya here sa PH) It has some minor scratches, di naman masyadong pansin unless tingnan ng malapitan.
- He also changed the head unit to a 9-10 inch display, I think it’s worth 10K+ din.
- brandnew set of tires.
- Nag transmission flush daw siya di ko alam kung tama ba yung pagkaka rinig ko non, correct me na lang.
- Pinalitan niya na ung mga rubber seals, gaskets at ung mga hose.
- fully PMS nung January, and he’s only using fully synthetic oil daw
Since it’s already 2026 at considered more than a decade old na ung car, would it still be worth a buy? In
terms of reliability or what other factors should I need to consider or just get another car option na lang na mas bata bata pa?
PS: May private parking at di naman po issue ung pang gasolina if ever.
Appreciate the answers in advance!
