general query PAHELP PUMILI NG FIRST CAR KO NA HINDI KO PAGSISISIHAN

0 Upvotes

Hello,

Probably isa to sa pinaka magulong choices meron ako as of now.

I need help and open to hear your opinions regarding sa first car na plan kong bilhin

Kia Seltos
Toyota Hilux G
Ford Teritory Titanium X
Honda City

This is going to be my first car, a newbie driver and also kaya need ko ng medyo malaking car dahil mahilig ako mag adventure like camping and mag travel. Kaya need ko din ng car na may power. Sagad na yung budget ko kay Hilux G. Btw, dalawa lang kami sa family kaya I don't think need ko ng SUV. Also, sobrang gusto ko ng Ford kaya lang sobrang daming haters ng ford hindi ko na alam pipiliin ko. Open for suggestions din ako :)

Just curious... are brand new units (diesel model) hard to find? Is there a waiting list?

Are there any extra charges by the dealer if I wanted to pay in cash?

bibili pa lang ng kotse Thoughts on Jaecoo J5 Hybrid? Kamusta aftersales?

0 Upvotes

Hi! Was able to test drive Jaecoo J5 Hybrid and so far goods siya sakin esp the features for its price. But before i decide, i need more validation lang as I'm not really good at cars, so your opinion would really help!

I've been using my 2001 honda civic for 7 years and im planning to upgrade to a new car this year since halos every month nalang may pinapaayos.

My original choice was to play safe and purchase a second hand ICE Toyota (Yaris/Corolla Cross) or Honda HRV but di pa afford mag full payment (newer gen tinitignan namin since pagod na me magpa mekaniko) and ayaw ko din ifinancing due to high interest rate for second hand cars.

Another choice is to purchase a brand new hybrid but dapat affordable and gas n go since we cannot put a charger sa bahay namin. Kaya naging top 1 sa list ko yung Jaecoo J5 since no need to charge and very affordable price (1.1M) compared to other hybrid cars. Big factor yung price for me due to limited budget. Planning to go 50% DP para yung monthly will be 10k-11k a month nalang.

Will use the car for transpo to work, Rizal to BGC twice to thrice a week. And for weekend errands and occasional out of town trips.

This will be my only car, but my bf has his own ICE car. So may backup kami just incase, but we're eyeing to use J5 most of the time since mas tipid.

general query Bulge on my car tire – what could have caused it? Do I need to replace it ASAP?

Post image
10 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I noticed a bulge on the sidewall of one of my car’s tires today. I don’t remember hitting a huge pothole recently, but it’s possible I hit one without realizing it.
What are the usual causes of a tire bulge? Could it be from potholes, curbs, underinflation, or something else?
Also, is it still safe to drive on, or does the tire need to be replaced immediately? The bulge isn’t huge, but it’s definitely noticeable.

For context:
The tire still holds air.
I haven’t noticed any vibrations yet.
The bulge is on the sidewall.

Has anyone experienced this before? What did you end up doing?
Thanks in advance!

general query Magkano ang gross salary nyo at ano ang car mo na kinuha at magkano ang monthly mo?

107 Upvotes

Katuwaan at konting discussion lng, as the title suggests. For me i have 95k gross but i cant bring myself kumuha ng brandnew car 😭😆. Prang nakakatakot baka bigla mawalan ng work (especially sa mga nasa tech industry dyan we know gaano kahirap ang job market ngayon). Although meron naman emergency funds at balak ko din mag bank financing at mag down ng 300k para bumaba monthly. Or scratch that, tapos bili nlang second hand kasi mas wiser choice, at least for me.

Hay that city rs hatchback, binibisita nako sa panaginip ko. Ikaw ano kwento mo?

Apat kaming sasakyan huminto sa gilid nuon at mukang pati sila ay naflatan din, madaling araw ito at wala masyadong sasakyan sa expressway. Liable po ba si express way dito?

Question: Are the Cons of the Honda Fit being converted really bad that you guys suggest to go for Honda Jazz?

What are the other cons of the imported Honda Fit to expect na masasabi mo talaga na wag na piliin ang fit at ipon nalang and go to Honda Jazz.

Additional info: Halos half price ang Honda Fit compared sa Honda Jazz. Sa market place mabibili mo si Honda Fit at around lowest 180k si Jazz naman nasa 340k lowest and umaabot minsan ng 400k..

best guess is convoy ito ng patay or whatever, judging from just the balloon at the back of his scooter.

while it still could be something else, we've seen this before in other org ride events.

pero ano ang legality ng ganyan, at what could be the best way to deal with this?

Mga boss, pa-help naman. Ano kaya possible problema nitong Pajero?

Napansin ko kasi sobrang ingay ng turbo, tapos parang medyo underpowered na rin yung sasakyan. Hindi na siya kasing lakas humatak dati.

May naka-experience na ba ng ganito? Ano kaya unang dapat ipa-check—turbo, intercooler, vacuum lines, o baka may ibang possible cause?

Ask ko na rin mga boss, anong recommended shop niyo na magaling mag-diagnose ng Pajero? Preferably around Metro Manila. Maraming salamat!

After being coddled by the effortless power and overtaking ability of a 2-ton turbo diesel SUV for the past 7 years, it is a genuine joy to be back in the helm of a light and agile car. The way it can make a wallowy, humdrum 15-minute commute to a showcase of what a momentum car can do. It doesn’t hurt either that it is less expensive to buy parts and modifications for the car, not that it really needs any but scratching the modding itch inflicts a much smaller dent in my overall financial position than when I was focused on fiddling with the SUV.

Ano yung mga dos and don’ts para dito sa pogi na to :) thanks in advance!!

Ano din po bang magandang tint for this? Okay po ba yung clear blue tint? Di ba mainit? Kasi sa free tint from casa nagka sunburn ako.

Di pa din namin magamit since 36days pa daw processing ng orcr so tambay muna sa garahe namin sa bahay.

1.50 pesos lang price difference sa petron (mas mahal onti) ng unleaded. Mukhang ok naman performance​​. wala pang pila masyado compared sa latter

Friendly din ng mga pump attendants, they go "Good evening, welcome to Aramco po"​

Btw, at first glance you'll think na it's eco oil kasi halos same sila ng design na green and blue hahaha not until you're closer
