If you want excitement and headaches, get the Geely Coolray ... if you want boring and peace of mind, get the Toyota Vios ...

Just get the Toyota Vios and be done with it ... if you change your mind, the Toyota Vios is easy to sell and will have higher resale value ...

Not true. Already checked with YGC group who runs the Geely dealerships. 10k PMS around 5-6k, no different from other cars with the same engine (1.5 Turbo).

Here you go for better clarity. (just remove the space between auto and deal)

Geely PH published this breakdown knowing that potential customers have concerns about PMS costs.

At least this gives you the gauge of the prices/charges, barring forex adjustments and changes to our side when it comes to minimum wage, electricity costs etc.

Coolray - hands down, it's more than value for your money.

Bilhin mo kung ano gusto mo, kahit saan pa gawa yan. Saka I hate it when resale value agad iniisip

Typical of most Pinoys, Di pa nga nabibili yung sasakyan naiisip na yung resale value.

Exactly. Para sa akin pantay pantay na yan after 5 years or more. Kung anong market price by that time eh di ibenta, kung mababa ganun pa rin kailanga mo pa rin ibenta. hinde naman investment ang kotse.

the point of the average newbie potential car buyer is,
"in five years or so, how much will i be able to sell my car, relative to the initial purchase price and relative to the competition?"
since he is a newcomer to the fascinating world of car ownership, price and co$t are about the only tangibles that he can grasp.
arrival, comfort, ease of operation and maintenance and other car-related intangibles... these are but abstract ideas he has no idea on how to deal with. yet.
enlightenment as to the non-financial aspects of car ownership, come later on, after the initial experience.
"no one is an expert in car ownership, the first time."
