car buying practices (what's your take?)

[MXFX]

i agree with the replies here. id keep it for a few years, unless you really want to change or repairs are becoming costly (doubtful for a 3 year old car).

i can suggest that for your next one, buy a 2-3 year old car and let someone else absorb the initial depreciation. then when you want another in a year or so, you can resell for little or no loss. in fact, im doing something similar, but really short term, and i earn when i resell the car .

double post.

people who could afford this usually do so.

good points are:

- less hassle with repairs and replacement
- higher resale value
- for some time, you'll have the latest car model


just try to make sure that the new car you're getting would hopefully have a good resale price (in terms of brand and model)

also try research if the car you're planning to buy is releasing a newer model soon

and at least for now, wala kang iisipin na babayaran amortization monthly. Free at last !
