Buying a used car question

Found something I liked in Cebu. got a honda crv, seems to be in good shape.

Got it off a guy named Ferdinand who sold it "for a friend" anyway was pleased with the deal.

anyone else who is looking be glad to pass on his number.

 

I am new to The Philippines and it puzzles me why there are no very cheap USED cars on the market; in the UK I could buy a run-around (not last long, but cheap!) for about 6000 pesos equivalent but in Phil they seem to start at about 160,000 (a MASSIVE difference). Anyone can tell me why and also point out any good places to buy second hand. Thanks.

 

Everything here has a value to someone no matter what it is so you vary rarely come across these things OH! they are there but it is a boots on the ground with neighbours and the Locals in general
160.000 can buy you a nice little runaround but also some problems. Have a word with Garage mechanics if you can they are the ones in the know. Kens Trading or Russi on the North Highway may have some information. You will not I feel find Cheap Cheap cars that will be of Trade ins as it is not a Filipino thing. They get Run into the Ground
Also you must consider and understand the paper work side of things.

 

Ah that is part of many problems Davy, they all look like they got Brakes.
I was along by the Airport and quite a nice car was just in front, But the grating of Brakes was very loud one had to wonder if they worked? Changing of Pads is OK but I think someone forgot the Shims.
(Shims?) these are to keep the Pads level and stop the Grating and squealing.

 

I am not a shareholder nor do I get any commission but have a look @Bman cars North road on the left side going to Sibulan. They have lots of cars on sale for every budget.
