Downgrading my Car

[marktams86]

Good Day all,

I'm thinking if i should sell my 2006 Honda City Idsi CVT so I would be able to finance my dp for a house. I was wondering how much I could sell it? it's got 140 k+ kms on it now color black with minor scratches.

Another question is, what's a good car to replace it with at around 150k? Criteria is:

1) A/t tranny so my wife could drive it,
2) Easy maintenance,
3) fuel efficient,
4) cool aircon for my daughter.
5) classic look?
6) Could run for another 10 years.

Thanks in advance!

Sell your City, get a Type Z City AT, ipon ulit for the house DP.

Honestly, wala kang makukuha na AT na ok for 150k only.

Problem there is if you buy a cheaper car, repairs might eat up your house amortization. It might be more prudent to keep the car as you're familiar with it and just save up for the D/P of avail of any zero-interest amortization d/p if there is any. Don't forget to factor in other costs to your house purchase such as mortgage fees, taxes, transfer fees, association joining fees, move-in fees, etc.

thanks for the advise... i think you're right... might as well save up more and not bring the car more often...

the type z is a very good idea as well, we owned the manual before and it was very agile and response was really quick..

Agree with vinj. Better to keep your current ride, since I assume you've given it some TLC, and save up for the house. Aside from older cars usually being more expensive to maintain, you don't know exactly how they've been maintained.

1.6L B14 Sentra bro. Check on all counts. Lower resale value means you get a newer unit for your money. With 150k you can get a circa 2000 model.

keep your i-dsi... judas knows how the previous owner of your used 150k budget car was used. commute or use a scooter (if ok kay wifey na mag ride ka) to work.
