Try mo rin maghanap sa fb pre, look for the newest Toyota you can afford. Also, ask for the assistance of a trusted mechanic. Wag mag madali.

Kung ako, pang downpayment ko na lang para sa isang mirage. Sakit sa ulo lang bibilhin for cash at that price point.

that would be nice, but...
papano yung monthlies?
sakit din ng ulo yun...

pag purchased in cash ang segunda manoh, pag nasira, one has a choice of when he wants to fix it.
pag purchased brand new on installment basis, one does not have the luxury of paying for it when it suits him.

there is the saying,
"bringing the car home from the dealer's, is the easiest part of car ownership."

personally,
i find several years too long a time to pay for a car.
now, it it were a house and lot...
heh heh.

Di naman siguro siya maghahanap ng ganyan at that price point kung kaya niya mag-mirage, diba? hehe

You have a point.
I'm sorry if that came across as crass. Second hand din ang sasakyan ko. Intent ko sana ay baka makatulong dahil sa nais ng mga dealers ngayon na maka sale ay baka may magandang discount at interest rate. Dun sa isang nakita ko na promo parang pumatak na 4.xx ang effective rate ng 5 yrs to pay. Pero katulad nga ng sabi ni Dr. D, sakit sa ulo din ang monthly.

Tiyag lang talaga maghanap ng matinong 2nd hand. Sa akin inabot pa ng taon para makahanap ng nagustuhan na pre owned at owner talaga ang seller. Kumbinsado kasi ako sa sinasabi dito na pag bayan seller kadalasan pinapakialaman ang odometer. Makatulong din kung batido na magdrive at mapapansin kaagad kung ok ang sasakyan sa pag drive pa lang.

some years back,
there was a rash of defaults from car buyers.
some thought it was due to "in-effective screening" of potential buyers vis a vis financial capability.
today, i hear of some dealers' ads, making it easy for potential buyers to bring home their cars.
i wonder, are the car dealers about to do it again?

I sold my 2001 Accord VTi-L (2.3L AT) five years ago for 110k. The car was in good shape, had upgraded 17” rims and an updated head unit. I was asking 150k for it but nobody went for it. When somebody offered 110k, I gave it away. I needed the parking space so it had to go.

Dami nyan dito sa BF Homes, doc. A neighbor sold his 2008 Camry for 300k, another one a Galant for around the same price. Small cars like a City or Jazz sells a lot better than bigger cars. We sold the 2009 City 1.5L four years ago for 300k.

Accords and Camrys are not that bad in terms of fuel consumption. It’s not like an Expedition or a Suburban.

The newer Civic, Altis, Elantra, Focus, and Sylphy are all under the medium category already.
