need help buying 2nd hand which is better automatic or manual transmission in terms of maintenance Cars Philippines

I think it really depends on what you need/want, any transmission is ok as long as the vehicle is well maintained. However, if an automatic tranny is busted, it will cost you more to have it fixed or replaced.

at notice ko mas mura bentahan ng 2nd hand na automatic trans compare sa manual pero sa brandnew mahal automatic why kaya

Depende sa mbibili mong auto yan bro... kung kilala mo ung may ari at alam mong maalaga... ul probably enjoy the AT. Ang prob xe kadalasan sa mga 2nd hand... specially pag may prob na sa mga clutch and transmission area mahirap na ipagawa unless replacement na and it will cost alot.
Also, dapat sigurado ka lagi sa battery mo kapag bbyahe ka specially pag malayuan plus higher fuel consumption. Pero in terms of driving comfort, d best talaga Matic lalo na pag traffic.

As for its price... i think these are some reasons kung bakit mas mahal ang mga brand new...
Old cars are mechanical and when i say mechanical i mean hardly any electronics in them such as carburators and electronic points in the distributor in the 2000 cars they have throtle bodys and fuel injectors instead of carbs and coil packs instead of distributors plus they have alot of electronic sensors that are controlled by a cpu where the older cars did not have a cpu and was mechanical so pretty much all they change was how fuel was delivered and ignited that just puting in small terms

agree. kaya para sa akin manual is better. and for me mas ok challenging drive ng manual :D

if you are concern about control, go to manual where you have the total control over your car. you can choose which band of power you want before you change your gear, you can run aggressively or run like a family man. easy to maintain, you can push start it if you stall on the road.. safer than automatic.

maintenance standpoint... choose manual. maraming marunong tumingin at hindi magastos as compared to repairs ng automatic transmission which usually ends up with complete replacement.

kung pang city driving e mag automatic ka hindi ko na kailangan sabihin kung bakit
