Brandnew Vs. 2nd Hand Vehicle

[Ritch_04]

Hi Tsikoters,

I'm new here. Just wanted to ask your opinion regarding brandnew and 2nd hand vehicles. We are currently shopping a replace for our current ride with a 7-8 seater MPV. We are looking into brandnew Innova G (1.133M), Kia Carens EX (1.270M), Grand Livina Elegance G.M.(1.038M). And then we came across with a 2nd hand Kia Carnival EX LWB priced at 1.1M 2008 model around 22k mileage. After doing the math our monthly for the 2md hand Carnival is around 20k for 4 years which is 1.4k higher than the Carens EX. Do you think it's worth it to buy the 2nd hand Carnival instead of a brandnew Carens or Innova? We already inspected the Carnival and it's still fresh in and out, we test drove it and it seems no problems with it's suspension and under chassis. And you very much. Hoping for your opinions

sir, get a brand new vehicle, don't buy that 2nd hand car. most of the tsikoteers would also recommend to purchase a new car rather than buying a 2nd car.

Nissan Grand Livina, medyo maliit siya for an MPV, parang kotse lang talaga siya.

Innova, well just get the VVTI (gas) variant not the D4D (crdi diesel) variant. until now marami pa ring issues sa D4D nila eh.

Carens, not ridden one pero gusto ko ang style, and I think spacious naman ang loob nito since malaki rin naman ito compared sa Grand Livina.

I would opt for the Carens.

It will all depend on your budget and your requirements bro.

Now, if you're telling me that you will pay the same amount(or more) of amortization for a second hand vehicle, then I'd say go for a brand new one that meets your requirements....

The Carnival is a bigger and better vehicle than the others... but the monthly amortization is kind of high, considering it's secondhand already and priced less than the others!

Thank you guys for your inputs

Yes sir it's quite high because mataas talag interest rates ng banks for 2nd hand vehicles

Btw, the SRP for brandnew LWB Carnival EX is 1.695M

The Nissan Grand Livina is simply too small compared to other vehicles in the same class like the Toyota Innova.
