Remember my recent post about a friend looking for a used car? Well, that “friend” is actually me. I had been car-hunting for most of the past two weeks and I finally found a great buy, and it was right under my nose!

A close problogger friend of mine is in the market for a used car and asked my help in looking for one. I’m posting this here because I think some of you guys might have some excellent referrals. Or maybe you’re even selling an auto yourself.

His budget is about PhP 180,000 and he’s looking for a mid- to late-1990′s Toyota Corolla (either the Big Body or the newer body type models). If it’s the big body type, an XE model is preferred. If the newer one, XL will do. But higher models are also all right (though gas prices are quite steep these days a lower-displacement model might be a more sensible choice).

Other makes and models can also be considered, as long as the car is in reasonably well-maintained condition.

He hopes to be able to inspect the car ASAP, and make a purchase within two weeks from now. You may get in touch with my friend thru me–my contact details are on my blog sidebar.
