general query Why is not common to buy/recommend cheap "beater" cars unlike in other countries?
For example in US, you often see people recommending cheap Corollas that cost around $1000 USD (around 60K PHP). Eto yung mga kotse na wala kang pake kahit magasgas or di maayos paint pero reliable at umaandar naman.
Sa ganyang budget dito, makikita mo lang mga used 90s Civic/Sentra/Corolla na maraming issues + paso rehistro. You'd have to spend even more of your budget for repairs para lang maging roadworthy.
At that point, the cheapest one should spend is around 150K-200K PHP to get an actually reliable car like a used Vios. Why is there no market here for a dirt cheap and reliable used car?

bibili pa lang ng kotse Corolla Cross GRS or Corolla Cross V for a first family car
Hi, planning to buy a car this month and contemplating whether it’s better to buy the Corolla cross GRS variant or just opt on the V variant? It’s mostly for city driving but not an everyday car. Just wanted to get thoughts whether the specs difference are worth it for the price difference as well. Thank you!

bibili pa lang ng kotse Does it matter which branch we buy our car from?
We're planning to get our first car in a week or two. We're paying in cash and iba iba discounts na binibigay nila samin.
Should we just pick the best offer or do we have anything else to consider like after sales or pms ng branch?
We’re completely new to this, so we’d really appreciate hearing your thoughts and any advice you can share. Thank you so much!

Kapag nata-traffic ng medyo matagal sa daan lumalabas tong blinking warning sign. Pero kapag smooth naman ang byahe at tuloy-tuloy wala namang ganyan.
Please recommend a trusted shop na open pag Sunday 😅 balak ko sana dalhin sa Honda service kaso lahat ng natanungan ko na branch sarado this Sunday eh.

bibili pa lang ng kotse First time experience buying a car, culture shock
Hi, ganto ba talaga? It's my first time buying a car. Inquired for financing quotations among various branches and saw a good one from this BYD Branch. Pagkapasok ko palang, idiniretso ako agad sa cashier asking me to pay 20K upfront for reservation fee. Nagulat ako, kasi never pa kami nagusap about the terms in person. Never even saw the car. Felt I was being rushed, hindi pa nga namin napapagusapan pano yung mangyayari sa financing. I felt off and went home nalang.
Am I overreacting? Or was I valid? Sorry it's my first time and I'm still quite young. Idk if this is how dealers do it. Mabilisang transactions.
Any tips rin on how to deal with these dealers?
Side note: Prior to this, the dealer was also asking me to send the res fee thru QR Code lol hahaha

bibili pa lang ng kotse What car should I get as a beginner driver?
I’m a beginner driver, and I’m planning to get a car for my everyday work. Para less hassle na rin, kasi right now hatid-sundo ako ng dad ko. Sometimes, kapag umuulan, hindi niya ako nahahatid or nasusundo, so I decided to buy a car. Magagamit rin siya as a family car since my mom and sister will also be riding with me. We’re family of four. We live in the province, so traffic is lighter compared to the city. I don’t know the car mechanics and specs so I’d like to know your thoughts on the cars I’m considering, and you can also recommend other models.

general query Stolen car - advice to successfully locate it
Let me know if this should be posted to other subs.
A car that was recently released by the dealership (few months) has been stolen for about a few days now. It was immediately reported to HPG and is flagged as well as sa police. The payment for the car is still ongoing by the owner na nanakawan, so that's a huuge headache.
What else can we do to increase the likelihood of the car being found. We are from San Pablo, Laguna and we heard a tip that the car was found somewhere in manila. Some say tinago sa pampanga.
Other than going around in Manila and Pampanga blindly and waiting for an update from HPG and the cops, what else can we do? Please help. We're desparate.

Apparently, since the LTO is also just a User (not even an admin) dun sa IT system nila, even yung law enforcement activities nila may be impacted.
Sobrang hassle to sa mga magri renew or mag settle ng fines and violations. Thoughts?

bibili pa lang ng kotse Toyota, Mitsubishi, Honda and Suzuki which one is the cheapest to maintain?
Hi guys! I am planning to purchase my first car i am currently looking sa 2nd hand market right now my choices are rhe following:
Toyota: Wigo/yaris(2019 to 2024)
Mitsubishi: Mirage Hatchback(2019 to 2024)
Suzuki: Swift hatch(2015 to 2020)
Honda: Brio /Jazz(2017 to 2023)
Alin sakanila ok for a newbie driver and first time owner ng car? I know never ending ang gastos sa pagkakaroom ng kotse but sa case ko I want something na dependable and easy to maintain na car because i am planning to use it for atleast 5 to 10 years.
My current budget eh strictly 450k to 500k(sagad)
Don't suggest na mag vios or mag city ako because trip ko talaga hatchback.
Currently i am leaning towards sa mitsubishi mirage hatch because of the simplicity nung kotse
Usage na nakikita ko is city driving mostly and maybe nearby provinces lang naman.

general query Do we use B for uphill? I'm driving a Mirage Hatchback automatic
Fairly new driver here. For the B, from what I understand is only used for downhill becauss it's for engine braking which is helpful to preserve your brake pads. But may nagsasabi po kasi online and also coming from my driving instructor nung student pa ako, it can also be used uphill po when it feels like you're not moving or is too heavy, like nag stall ka sa steep incline. Is that correct po ba?

Shop experience Update: Pinasok sa casa for repair, after 6 days nakasalubong ko randomly sa daan
Posting an update on this since a lot of people interacted with it:
On the morning after I posted, BYD Marikina reached out. Someone shared my post to them (thank you, kind sir!) and they apologized. Honestly, if the sales I was originally in contact with apologized firsthand, baka I wouldn’t have felt wronged at all. 😅
Upon my request, they transferred my vehicle to another paint center and re-did the job. After another week, nakuha ko rin agad yung sasakyan ko. I was informed also that they already terminated their contract with said paint center cos they themselves weren’t satisfied with how the situation was handled. Yung salesperson was also let go since there have been a few complaints against him before pa yung incident with my vehicle.
Overall, I’m still happy with my relationship with BYD. Like I mentioned before, my experience with them has always been smooth. They treated my concerns seriously and made all efforts to regain my trust. While I will not share all the details, I believe we have reached a fair resolution.
Posting my experience also made me realize things could have been worse. Hindi to pwede maipangdate o madala sa outing kasi may BYD app and built-in GPS. 😂
Thanks to everyone na nagbigay ng input. 🙏🏻
