Need some advice: planning to buy a car

[zaza.altis]

thanks for those who replied. were leaning on the reliable brands like toyota and honda. I guess their discount is more or less fixed. Baka lang po kasi if december they are more eager to sell bec of year-end quota. If jan naman im thinking dahil kakaunti yun gusto bumili bka more freebies. next year kasi toyota predicted a zero growth bec the us crisis will hit us by 2009.

First of all text speal not allowed here. Second, ang gulo ata nyan kasi iba ibang kotse tapos iba iba ang budget. Buying a car has 2 very important components which is BUDGET and PURPOSE. How much are you willing to spend and what is the purpose of the vehicle?

Pwede ba gawin yun bibili ako ng car this november or december tapos pa register ko ng 2009?

[tidus1203]

^^Yep ganun ginawa namin sa Santa Fe namin. This November lang namin binili pero binilin namin sa agent sa 2009 na iparehistro. The thinking is to make the car supposedly 1 year newer para pag ibebenta na mas may leverage sa negotiations. Of course the LTO might find this illegal but secret na ninyo ng agent at ng dealer yan.

It was mentioned before in a thread somewhere here in tsikot that it is wise to buy a new vehicle when the month is about to end because the dealers and sales agents are trying to meet their quota. If this notion were true, then is it also applicable when the year is about to end?

If they give a good deal, sure.

Pero kung wala naman wait til january.

[bhossed]

choose a category first, decide which do you really want/s? then proceed to subcategories. that way you can have a real choice.

Sabagay, para 2009 yung nasa rehistro.

Here in U.S yes. 4 months before the year end marami na ang sale na kotse to make way for those newer model. Discount are pretty much okey it depends from the model and option. Some discount could go up to $10,000, but you have to be agressive dealing with those salesman. Remember, advantage ka kung namimili ka kaya baratin mo ng husto kung ayaw nila sa presyo mo, go to another dealer cause once you sign all the contract there are turning back.
