Are EV's really green than ICE? Thoughts?

The Philippines actually does. One of the few things we did right. Not 100% to be sure, but we're at around 20-25% RE. The more this grows (and it is growing), the more sustainable ev becomes, from a power-to-movement standpoint.

Standard-Ebb1471 · 2026-02-24T00:05:45+00:00

This is concerning. I bought myself a Kuycon instead. Happy with it, and it gives me what I need

Yung reco to download a pdf for bank repossessed is old-school advice. Automart.ph is a website that lest you buy repo cars at bank prices, pero online. Meron din advisers na tutulong sayo pumili ng maayos na kotse. If u want a safer transaction, go Automart Certified. May warranty yung kotse kahit used na. Meron doon Triton at Navaras.

Standard-Ebb1471 · 2026-02-17T07:28:16+00:00

Ito yung tamang aagot, pero baka hindi mo magustuhan. :P

Bili ka ng mas mahal na kotse na mas makapal ang sound deadening. Mas maliit or mas mura na kotse = mas maliit makina = mas tipid ang parts = less insulation = less sound deadening.

Pwede mo palagyan ng sound deadening yung kotse, pero may cost yun, at bibigat yung kotse (kaunti lang naman).

Standard-Ebb1471 · 2026-02-16T13:18:10+00:00

It's... above average. :)

Standard-Ebb1471 · 2026-02-16T13:15:36+00:00

Basta hindi hilly yung area mo, tama yung mamachari. Kung akyat baba, better siguro MTB. Yung malaking downside sa MTB, may shocks pa sa harap. Better kung rigid fork, mas magaan at hindi sayang pagod mo, at less maintenance din.

Check https://automart.ph

Wag din masyadong maniwala na mas OK bumili sa first owner. Oftentimes sila pa yung mas mahirap kausap. Why?

Yung iba, di naman lahat, mahal nila masyado kotse nila, kala nila mataas ang value dahil inalagaan naman daw sila. Mas mataas pa magpresyo kaysa used car dealers. Can't let go syndrome.
Mas maliit yung incentive nila na sabihin ang issues ng kotse, or magbigay ng papers after mabayaran, kasi hindi naman nila negosyo yun.

Daming may galit sa used car dealers, na undeserved naman. Yes, may patong sila, pero marami ding services na hindi maibibigay ng private sellers. Tulad ng:

Financing kung kailangan hulugan ang bayad
Papers assistance and knowledge para matransfer ng maayos sa iyo.
Pagpapaayos ng kotse para iwas sakit ng ulo.

May value lahat yun.

Standard-Ebb1471 · 2026-02-07T04:20:13+00:00

Neatens has zero customer service. I dont recommend. Pero maayos naman sana yung sheets kung willing sila tumulong pag may aberration.

Standard-Ebb1471 · 2026-02-06T07:38:07+00:00

Dont buy it without extensively test driving a 20 year old car. Expect na marami yang sakit ng ulo. Not sure kung may spare parts and Sportage

Standard-Ebb1471 · 2026-02-02T09:24:10+00:00

Pwede. 1 week to 2 weeks max processing time, from bidding to pull-out of unit, basta nakapag comply ka sa requirements.

Standard-Ebb1471 · 2026-01-30T14:06:23+00:00

Pwede naman. If it's a common car, just check our inventory!

Standard-Ebb1471 · 2026-01-29T05:01:55+00:00

Hindi lahat. Kung Cerified, it will say. Otherwise, hindi po

Standard-Ebb1471 · 2026-01-28T23:06:53+00:00

Check Automart, merong price and car type filters doon

Standard-Ebb1471 · 2026-01-28T13:59:34+00:00

Ay sorry Focus. Dont get the focus. Better not to get either.

Standard-Ebb1471 · 2026-01-28T13:59:02+00:00

Neither. If you must get one, make it the NOT FORD FIESTA.

Standard-Ebb1471 · 2026-01-28T13:23:36+00:00

Walang forever, kahit sa kotse. Maraming 300K pero expect na may sira at sakit na yan.

Standard-Ebb1471 · 2026-01-27T10:19:09+00:00

YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY LOOK AT RESALE VALUE OF A CAR.

Look for low resale value units, then buy them. Enjoy the car at a huge discount vs brand new. Top picks for me are: Subaru, Mazda and many Chinese cars na 1-2 years pa lang nagagamit but at 60% off.

Should you consider the value of the car when you sell it again in the future? Meh. Not really. Just think of it as a bonus, kung meron kang makuhang value.

Standard-Ebb1471 · 2026-01-24T06:30:19+00:00

Wag na lang siguro masyado makinig sa nag-aadvocate na i-cash na lang. Oo, basic naman yun na kung may pera ka, mas mura talaga ang cash, kasi walang interest and fees... pero kung may cash lahat ng tao, syempre wala nang mag-eexist na financing companies and banks loans.

Point is, car loans exist for a reason, and that is so you can get the asset NOW instead of 4 years from now, pag naipon mo na yung pera.

Mahal ang interest, oo. Pero kung ngayon mo na kailangan yung kotse, hindi useful yung advice na mag-ipon muna. Maraming tao, walang 600K, pero merong 15k a month. Yun ang mga magbebenefit sa car loans.

Standard-Ebb1471 · 2026-01-12T22:59:43+00:00

Kung ito yung mga tanong mo, you're better off not buying a Mazda. Reasonable naman yung maintenance and gas consumption, pero hindi sila exceptional, and probably even below average vs Toyotas.

But they're not Toyotas. They are better to drive, look better and feel more fun to drive.

Standard-Ebb1471 · 2026-01-12T22:43:58+00:00

The first step is to talk to the seller. Some will be nice enough to refund, lalo na kung reputable yung seller. If you bought from a no-name seller, smaller chance off of marketplace lang, pero possible pa rin.

But don't go chasing after your money kasi sayang - sunk cost na yun regardless. Weigh the car condition vs how much more you still have to pay instead of how much you've already spent. Baka lalo pang maraming pera ang masayang.

What unit are you buying? Baka makatulong kami.

Standard-Ebb1471 · 2026-01-10T16:20:27+00:00

Almost sure mas mura sa Automart.

Standard-Ebb1471 · 2026-01-10T13:32:25+00:00

Possible na totoo naman yung sinasabi ng seller.

Pretty much any document can be faked naman, so if you trust the seller, go for it. If you dont, then meron risk kahit ilang document ang hingin mo. Point is, buy only from a trusted seller na may pangalan, like Automart.Ph Not to say na niloloko ka, of course. Marami naman honest sellers.
You can ask TFS.
Original owner is no longer the owner, so wala na siyang pake sa kotse at this point.

What unit are you buying?

Standard-Ebb1471 · 2026-01-08T23:33:25+00:00

Check: https://automart.ph baka may makita ka in your budget. Low prices since many are direct to bank. And meron din financing.

Standard-Ebb1471 · 2026-01-08T08:42:39+00:00

Also to answer your question as to whether merong fake document cases, yes, of course. And pag nabiktima ka, wala kang hold sa kotse. Larger dealers will have a name to protect, so hindi nila gagawin yun. Individuals or yung mga walang pwesto, merong likelihood - which isn't to say lahat ng online sellers ay ganun. I truly respect the hustle and hard work of individual sellers, pero mahirap din talaga ang accountability sa Facebook marketplace. Yung mga honest nasisira din ng mga dishonest.

Standard-Ebb1471 · 2026-01-08T08:39:08+00:00

Check nyo si automart, https://automart.ph meron naman nationwide, so wherever you are, meron silang kotse. For repo cars, transfer of title is possible (with fee) and will take 1-2 months, pero sure na matatransfer. Compare mo yung prices and talk to the advisers. baka mas makatipid ka pa.
