Thats the tradeoff. At least with secondhand cars, the sticker price is lower for a midrange sedan.

Better looks, more respectable, faster engine. In exchange for higher maintenance and fuel costs.

How about a Toyota Corolla? My 1996 Corolla is still running perfectly. Religious change oil lang every 5k

Iba iba pala trip din ng mga tao pagdating sa cars, different opinions, diff. likes,, parang cellphone din pala , may mga apple people at may mga samsung pips.
eto question ko ulit. since ala naman pakielam sa japorms or something (pero atleast wag naman yung pang matanda ang dating).

mas mainam talaga yung newer car? kahit anong brand man yan ?

are you propositioning your car, or are you suggesting the threadstarter consider the car model as a good choice?
heh heh.

if you are going to choose between an iphone 3gs and an iphone 4s at the same price, what would you choose?

For your budget, this is what I can say. It's all about CONDITION. Mileage is irrelevant, what is important is how the vehicle was maintained by its present owner. Ask for maintenance records, service receipts, estimates, etc. These documents will give you proof on how the vehicle was treated.

It may be an 80's or a 90's mid range Toyota or Honda or whathaveyou. But if it was maintained and cared for properly, I do not see any reason why you should'nt invest on it.
