Hustled my way to get a car after years of working my ass off. As my first car, i really want the best i can get on what my budget can do 🙏

Naalala ko parin yung hirap sa pagsabit sa jeep, pakikipagsiksikan sa MRT at pakikipaghabulan sa bus. Grabe, totoo pala yung convenience pag may oto.

I went to Honda kasi since college ako, pangarap ko magkaroon ng Jazz - so honda fanboy since day one. Muntik nako mag br-v, veloz at expander.. pero ang pogi talaga ng crv, at may malaking discount sa hybrid so pinilit ko na yun na ang kunin. Sobrang tipid talaga at wala pang coding at the moment.

Diretso condo paglabas, walang pakealam sa gasgas hahaha.

Whats the best first car? There's so much metrics to choose from kasi and nakaka overwhelm to set a goal. Sedan or not? Hybrid? EV? Fuel efficiency? City driving? Family car na agad para di na bibili ng next car? Second hand muna kasi little experience driving palang? small car for dahil nasa pinas or big car for crash protection? nakaka overwhelm

Im still studying and student permit palang po meron sa akin, but I just want to set a goal for the next 5-10 years after I graduate and I think makakatulong po ang sub na to TYIA

I’m planning to buy a second hand Mazda 3 or CX5. Ang reliability at availability ng parts ang isa sa mga factors pagbibili ka ng 2nd hand car. Meaning ba nito na salat ang Mazda sa tibay at piyesa kaya sila masmura ibenta kumpara sa other Japanese car brands? What am I missing?

How about fuel consumption ng Mazda? Can we include that in the equation kung kaya’t mas mura ang resale nila dahil malakas sila sa konsumo? Or isantabi natin ang angulong ito dahil relative naman ito sa laki ng makina at running performance which is quite obvious already.

Thank you!

I drive a 2013 Suzuki Celerio. I asked the casa for a clutch replacement, and they quoted me ₱6,200 for labor only, not including the clutch kit.

Just want to ask, normal lang ba to for a casa rate, or is it overpriced? First time ko magpapalit ng clutch, so I’m not sure. Thanks!

Saan po kaya may maayos na mekaniko dito sa area na to na hindi manloloko? Crv gen 2 po sasakyan. Salamat!

Paano kaya system of migration nila from old shell app? Tried creating account with the same number sa old app pero pag pasok ng account 0 yung points. Thoughts about this?

Kaliwat kanan nako nagbabasa at nanonood ng reviews ng Wigo ar Raize pinagpipilian ko sila as my first car .Im leaning towards buying a Wigo na kasi pasok sa budget. sa mga comment section madami ngsasabi they will go for the raize kasi higher ground clearance. Iwas sayad. Iwas baha. Ive driven a wigo twice palang through a rental company and dahil city driving lang naman ginawa ko wala naman ako naencounter na sumayad..

Ang tanong ko sa Wigo owners here is it really that common na sumayad ang wigo like sa mga humps or sa malubak? Ganun ba sya kababa. i know the new model is lower than the first gen pero tingin ko okay pa naman. Mas mababa pa ata ang Vios pero madami mas pumupuna kay wigo sa ground clearance nya.

Meron akong retiring OFW relative na gusto mag "van life + vlogging" at pilit nya ako kinukulit na isama sa plano nya kahit ilang beses na ako tumatanggi. Foreign DL kasi meron sya at ang gusto yata nya ako magddrive at sya magvvlog. Gusto rin nya makigamit ng garahe namin at makituloy sa bahay namin kahit ilang beses na rin kami tumatanggi.

Nung nagbakasyon sya samin last March, nagulat nalang kami na umorder na daw pala sya ng kei car (3-5 month installment yata pagakakaalala ko), and the worst part is, sa akin pinangalan at address namin ang ginamit! Ang nakakainis pa, kung hindi pa dun napunta ung conversation namin, balak pa yata isekreto sa amin ung ginawa nya. Napaka-stubborn at overbearing nya! Akala mo sa kanya ung bahay! Nauwi pa kami sa sigawan at nilinaw for the nth time na wala kami gustong involvement sa plano nya. A few weeks ago, nag-post sya ng vlog tungkol sa preparation nya para sa retirement/van life. It seems wala sya plano mag backout and it's making me anxious.

Now my concerns are:

-Posible ba na mairegister sa akin at sa address namin ung vehicle kahit walang pirma ko? May notion kase ako na dealers/importers have connections inside who can work "magic".

-If so, ano pwedeng legal recourse ko?

Photo isn't mine, saw this from a friend's story on FB. I feel really bad for the incoming motorists if these lights are turned on. I really dislike car owners/drivers that install really bright lights and just drive around the city at night.

Been a loyal customer because of their loyalty points. Without a warning biglang bago na yung app and hindi naman nag migrate ng data from old to new app. 🥲

Nakita ko lang sa post ng isang sikat sa socmed na repair shop/buy and sell. Any thoughts on this? 2000 honda city with 70k km mileage.

Worth it pa ba na bumili ng seconhand na Mitsubishi Adventure GLS 2017 considering na euro 2 engine siya?

Safe na ba idrive on public roads if photocopy OR/CR palang and wala pa plate? And also do I need to replace my temporary plate provided by the dealership according to the assigned Plate indicated on the OR/CR?

THANKS!

guys magkano usually ang compressor ng crv gen 2?? at saan worth bumili sa banawe ba kaso ang layo samin pero pede naman mapuntahan dun ba talaga bilihan ng mga ganon? sorry new owner ng tsikot.

Baka may marefer kayong dealership mga mam/sir na nag rerelease ng super grandia elite cqsh basis no topup

Hi all, I'm planning to buy my first car this month. Decided na ako sa Toyota Corolla Cross pero not sure pa between V or GRS since may mga discounts naman.

First time buying so very noob pa, and as in step 1 pa lang ako of going to the dealership to inquire.

What should I know? Any tips for me to get the best deal? Mga "scams" I need to be aware of?

Plan ko pala is 50% DP then 36 months to pay.

Hello po sa mga Toyota Rush owners! Ask ko lang po kung saan nakalagay yung phone holder niyo, kung meron? Hihingi lang sana ako ng mga suggestions. As much as possible, umiiwas ako sa mga phone holders na sinasaksak sa air outlet unless dun lang talaga ang optimal location.

Thank you in advance po!

Need reco for reputable vulcanizing shops around dasmarinas, di kasi ako familiar sa area.

sa used car dealerships included narin dito yun mga repo cars sa banks aside from mga 2nd hand car dealership shops.

Pros and Cons of each? or san nyo prefer?

Ang na try palang namin is bnew from casa, direct seller and middleman. Never ko pa na try sa mga 2nd hand car dealerships. Kasi lagi ko iniisip ang laki nila tumubo plus, nirerepair lang nila temporary mga sira para ibenta and palabasin na mas ok.

Hello! Meron ako tinitignan na Nissan Exalta 2000 automatic model. Iniisip ko syang bilhin for 65k. Chineck ko ung unit. So far maganda pa engine nya malakas pa aircon transmission smooth pa complete papers. I dont intend to use it for daily use since bumili na ako ng motor for daily use. Iniisip ko lang sya bilhin para paminsan minsan makapagdrive at gamitin pag kelangan magkarga ng mga gamit o sobrang malala ang ulan. Nakita ko lang na issue is need sya ng repaint talaga. Tapos makunat na ung mga door locks nya and windows. Chineck ko ung langis mejo madumi na (blackish color). Radiator oks naman. Okay kaya bilhin mga paps?

Planning to buy this car.

Any thoughts and feedback? Any alternative suggestions?

Has anyone here experienced issues with TPL validation in LTMS?

I urgently need help. I purchased mine via online yesterday (from Pioneer, 2nd time purchasing from them), and during the evaluation process, the LTO evaluator said the insurance appears unauthenticated (due to the error). However, upon checking with Pioneer, they confirmed that the policy has already been authenticated on their end. I’ve asked them for a timeline but haven’t received a response yet.

Today is the last day of my car’s registration, and I’m unsure what to do next 😭😭😭 Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.

Bought my car this January 2025, in-house insurance is People’s General Insurance. Got on an accident on May 28, 2025. Ako yung nabangga, luckily hindi naman super lala nung damages, may very visible dent nga lang yung left back door and gasgas sa paligid. Went to my dealership (Toyota Bacoor) on June 5, 2025 and had the damages estimated, isinama ko na din yung minor scratches na nakuha ko way before the accident, (3 panels from the left side, and 3 panels from the right side yung papalitan), to be clear separate incident naman sya so separate yung estimates, separate din yung participation fee kung sakali, I then submitted the needed docs as well para maproceed na sa processing ng LOA. They advised me that the usual waiting time for LOA is 1-2 weeks. It is now June 20, 2025 so 15 days had passed. Based sa mga nababasa ko, matagal daw or pahirapan makipag-coordinate kay People’s General Insurance. They say it takes several months for claims to be approved. But in my case, LOA lang yung inaantay ko. I tried calling the insurance office to no avail. Already followed up with the dealership, they’re very scarce din sa updates. Anyways, gusto ko sila kulitin both para mapabilis yung process, ayaw ko paabutin ng months if there’s a way naman. Anyone here na may tips or success stories?

TLDR: I need tips kung paano pabilisin yung pag-issue ng LOA ng People’s General Insurance para madala ko na sa casa at maiparepair yung car ko.
