    but when it comes to trading in your mazda, they'll baratize you to death. they'll tell you so many bad things about it, you'd wonder why it was approved for sale back then.. you'll probably do better if you sell it yourself.
    Sure sir will send you pm po
    I won't sell our mazda 3 saka kay lola po siya hehe.

    you can go alone and ask about cars sa casa and they will surely entertain you.

    I suggest you ask for help from your other relatives. If wala talaga makakatulong, people here in tsikot can help you. Bago ka magcommit ng down payments, reservation fees, sign any documents and any other tying transactions, consult people here in tsikot.
    Sir ginagawa ko rin yan tapos pakita pa ng susi na nakasabit sa pants hehe

    Yes very kind and helpful dito sa tsikot. Thanks po sir

    Buying a car isn't really a hard thing to do. Now the hard thing is trying to get a good deal -- for that you need research, research, and more research.

    I typically employ a lot of techniques in negotiating. The most common ones are..

    One is the straight cash method -- give me your best offer, no more counteroffers and I'll purchase it within the week while...

    The other one is the negotiation method -- give me your offer, this is the competitor's counter-offer.. kaya mo ba tapatan? Okay. Babaan naman natin -- give him a price. He'll probably give you a price in the middle as compromise.. don't get that but give another counteroffer. Make clear that the counter-offer is final and it's a deal close if he accepts. If he doesn't, you walk away.

    These are very typical negotiating skills. You'll eventually use them in the future so brush your skills on them.

    Also, knowledge is power. It's very hard to underestimate knowledge when negotiating. Second, remember.. di mo sila kilangan, kilangan ka nila. You're in the position to leverage your favorable position.

    Final advice is never be afraid to walk away. Sila dapat maghabol sayo, hindi ikaw. Once ikaw naghabol, you automatically lose your leverage.

    Kung pwede shameless plug, sa totoo lang over the years I've become a formidable negotiator :naughty2: that's how I managed to complete my car audio setup. Even until today, people screams (not an understatement) BARGAIN kung alam lang nila yun deals
    Learned a lot from you sir! Also gained my confidence hehe. Thank you so much po

I used to have the same thinking when I go to car shops (babae ako, baka lokohin ako) so before I take my car for repairs I would ask my family/friends or ask Tsikot on the problem so I have an idea. It's almost the same principle as buying a car. I follow the same method as jhnkvn. I call different dealers for the best offer. I also browse the board for offers given to other members. Then I negotiate with the dealer that gave me the best offer. You can also buy on the 4th week or near the end of the month.

    The guys gave you good advise. Knowing is winning half the battle already Good luck on your purchase
    Thanks po
    Why should I buy on the 4th week of the month po? :O

    Lam mo sir, kung magpapasama ka naman i think mababait naman sila and they will arrange their schedule

    Ako kase gusto kitang samahan im free pero wala akong alam sa kotse, recently download this app dahil gusto kong malaman or discover/explore more about car stuff para Di ako ma OP sa mga uncle's ko..

    Like march 8 si Mr. Nissan agent naginvite sakin na magpunta sa Nissan Ortigas for their launch on sylphy and altima.. Pupunta ako..

    Altima daw kalevel nya ang camry(ata)

    Eto lang naman tatanong ko

    Sir,pano mo masasabi na mas angat ang altima sa camry? Or Nissan patrol (royale) sa Toyota LC200.. Un lng naman ang ginagawa ko kapag nsa casa comparing hahaha dahil wala talaga akong alam pero i believe natututunan ko din mga parts na yan soon!

    Bottomline for me is

    Hi! I can refer you on an agent, as long as it is Mitsubishi or Toyota. They are good friends of mine long before they became a car salesman/woman. I personally bought one from them (My Mirage). If you need help, you may send me a PM.

    But just a bit of advice, tsikot and google is a friend. Before coming in a showroom, I suggest you do a bit of research about your candidate cars for consideration. Take into consideration PMS cost, a model's 'achilles heels' vis-a-vis your personal preference and needs and budget, of course. That way, you won't be confused upon selecting.

    Case in point: Last year, we needed a small fuel efficient automatic hatchback. We bought a Mirage GLS. In a perfect world, I would have gotten us a Picanto 1.2L AT (not available back then, though) or a Mazda 2 R hatchback. The PMS cost of the Picanto at the time IIRC is higher than the Mirage, not to mention some dismal FC figures for a small car. Also, I prefer the safety of ABS and dual airbags which is absent in the Picanto and the Mazda 2 is just way out of the budget. Although I prefer the Picanto and 2's looks, I went home with a Mirage thinking it has more features than both, about as roomy as the 2 and just in the price league of the Picanto. It's not the perfect car out there, but it is perfect for my needs.
