my experience in buying a used car (3rd owner ko ani nya did2 sa Taiwan) is good ra man. wla ra mag hassle nko ang sakyanan even, dako kaayo ang odo reading niya. normal ra ni basta mag inter-city ang mga owners. Kun sa Cebu na odo reading, maka lisang na... hehehehe...
> Model and Make: 2004 Ford Tierra XT 1.6 A/T (this is based on the 8th gen Mazda 323 w/ a redesigned head and rear for Taiwan local market)
> odo reading during my purchase: 180K+kms
> condition during the purchase: Mint
> with all leather seats and wooden trim
> bought the car last 2016
the owners maintained the car religiously. naa man siya handbook na naka record did2 tanan maintenance sa sakyanan since pag purchase last 2004.
after pag palit nko, nag pa ilis ko on the following: disc brake rotors (all disc brake w/ ABS ni siya), disc brake pads (front and rear), mags (front and rear) and tires (front and rear) para kampante ko mag dagan sa speed way...
nag pa change oil pud ko sa engine ug transmission, change the coolant, change all air and oil filters. para ni dali ra pag monitor nko once need na siya'g maintenance and servicing...
so far, wala ko'y problema sa sakyanan. smooth kaayo modagan, nice ang handling, wala'y rattling sound. tight pa kaayo... i can compare it sa akaong Civic diri's Cebu na "almost" at par ra sila pero, mas inclined ko's handling sa Civic gyud... I'll pick this Civic of mine any time of the day compared to my Tierra... hehehe...
