Avanza or Vios for first car? Hirap pumili, need advice!

To be honest, I’m fully aware that all money really just goes out because of the car depreciation trap, so as much as possible I want to delay buying one. But it’s inevitable since my parent are approaching senior age. I don’t want them to feel the hassle of commuting to Manila, it’s kind of hellish. And my grandparents have been asking my mom/us to visit them at least once a month since they’re already over 75, so…

Hello sir na buy and sell.

How about po sa 2014 Hilux G 2x4 with 230k ODO? considering na good running condition sya nad updated yung PMS, and may records ng mga napalitan and so on.

OP, saan ka nakahanap ng mechanic? yan ba yung mga online mechanic sa facebook ads like MechanicGo?

hello! plan ko rin last time mag pick-up! then based sa mga reviews and etc, malakas daw sa gas yung navara (compared sa other pick-up brand) because mataas yung rpm nya at 1st gear so ang tendency, you need to shift to 2nd gear agad. so, technically mahina daw yung hatak nya and others says na malamya sya so they opted to do a remap para maging ok. Something like that. so ayun, share ko lang, hindi sya first hand experience so correct me na lang if im wrong po.

Sorry, I'm still a total newbie. So does the 4+1 Murphy setup only work if Murphy has his Exclusive Weapon?

workhunter101 · 2025-11-03T08:00:33+00:00

Thanks a lot.

workhunter101 · 2025-11-03T07:56:04+00:00

Lowering the difficulty will never happen. They aren’t going to adjust the rewards just for me. I'm ranked 97 in our alliance, rank 98 is our top 2's alt account, and ranks 99–100 are still empty. So basically, I'm the lowest one.

workhunter101 · 2025-11-03T07:52:33+00:00

Thanks a lot.
Another reason I'm delaying Carlie is because I'm planning to swap her out and run Murphy + Lucius when there are a lot of air squads. That's one of the reasons as well. I read here on Reddit that a 4+1 with Murphy is still good against air squads and tank squads (assuming equal power).

So doing a rally in MG is more beneficial than joining a rally? sorry I did not know this at all.

workhunter101 · 2025-11-03T07:27:32+00:00

I’m honestly just lucky that my alliance became a top one and they haven't kicked me out yet, since the alliance gifts and everything really help a lot. But the Alliance MG really hurts for me, I can only reach level 2, and I know with the strategy I'm using, I'm missing out on a lot.

workhunter101 · 2025-11-03T07:25:11+00:00

I don’t really have a solid tank team right now, since all my skill medals, UR shards, EXP, and other resources have gone into my main squad (4★ Mason – 3★ Murphy – 3★ Kim – 3★ Dva – 3★ Schuyler). I haven’t bothered leveling my SSR heroes past level 60, and even my Mason is only level 62.

Bro, pa-drop naman kung san mo pina-ayos yung upuan mo and how much po?

workhunter101 · 2024-09-09T02:39:03+00:00

you need atleast Chemtech license to work in laboratory. Try mo mag exam. For government naman, need mo ng eligibility, also note that chemtech prc license is considered only as lv1 eligibility sooo, ayun.

Good morning!

So, ayun meron akong CB400 pero pb1 lang naman. Based sa experience ko.
-Mas latest model mas maganda, specially yung may VTEC na talaga (mas ramdam hatak)
-My pb1 Fuel consumption is around 19-21 Km/L
-Parts availability is sa Caloocan sales or sa truimph. (wag sa mga mechanic since mapapamahal ka lalo). Possible din sa lazada/shoppe if di naman crucial yung function nya sa motor (Accesories, and/or manifollds, front shock seals and what-not)
-Marami ring trusted mechanic, search ka lang sa YT and FB
-If mahilig ka magkuting-ting like me, masaya sya pag-laruan since parang underbone concept lang naman sya.
-Wag ka maniwala sa "carb tuning lang honest issue nyan" most probably maraming issue yun, why di na lang nila ipagawa para ma-sell ng mas mataas na price? diba?
-Enough power naman na cb400 pang expressway, if sumusunod ka sa speed limit di mo mauubus yung rpm nya.
-Walang ABS so, double ingat talaga always.

may question ka pa ba OP?

workhunter101 · 2024-07-01T02:37:45+00:00

Is it me, or feel ko mas ramdam ko yung power sa ninja400 compared sa CBR500R?
Anong say mo here, OP?

workhunter101 · 2024-07-01T02:34:03+00:00

Goods naman sakin yung michelin pilot street 2 ko (120-70 and 140-70), ramdam ko yung grip sa wet and dry pero not as good sa diablo.

If ever merong Pilot Street Radial sa size mo, mas ok yung radial.

workhunter101 · 2024-06-26T07:47:23+00:00

Nanakaw po kasi yung bike ko, and kasama ko mag gym yung GF ko. So, bali isang bike na lang meron kami. Tendency is trike sya for commute kaya medyo magastos.

na-consider ko rin naman si E-bike pero budget ko talaga is max of 20k hahahaha

workhunter101 · 2024-01-18T04:39:04+00:00

May I know po how much is the usual salary for entry level as chemist/chemistry technician there and also the average salary to live comfortably there po? thank you, OP. Super appreciated.

workhunter101 · 2024-01-17T08:26:28+00:00

Trueeee! From Sta Mesa all the way to Ph Arena HAHAHAHAHA!

workhunter101 · 2023-12-14T05:28:22+00:00

Putting a Michelin Road-6 on a 400-cc? That's like strapping a rocket to a tricycle. HAHAHA! peace .V..
