Vehicles & Servicing Process to follow buying Used Car, Dumaguete

Including me..........!!??

 

Yes. But there appear to be some models that clearly are hard to kill whatever the maintenance record looks like. Pajeros from the 90s for example, especially the Diesel models. Many choices for less than 300k, and in case of emergency any mechanic knows and can repair them and it's easy to get spare parts because they're so common. It helps of course if you are able and willing to read up on the models you are interested in, to find out about weak spots and typical problems, things to look out for.

Same goes for motorcycles, except they're much simpler machines - an XR200 that has been driving the last 20 years is probably not going to break down the day after you bought it due to lack of maintenance.

I drove my '94 Pajero around the Philippines on and off road more than 40000km, this thing is so simple and robust, it's amazing. I admit I sometimes miss the simple pleasure of proper aircon instead of "ice cold or hot". But for this country its the perfect car.

Toto is a great guy, often way too cheap (never thought I'd say that about a car mechanic before), knows his stuff.

 

Perhaps I was being too flippant. I stand corrected.
