may disenteng makukuha na yan. tingin ka sa olx.
nguni at bago ka bumili, ay isipin mo na muna yung gastos sa pag-gamit ng kotse.. kaya ba nyo ang mga ito?
annual LTO requirements.. regular auto maintenance expenses.. gas.. garage and parking fees.. toll fees.. collision repair (yours as well as the other party's, just in case)..

is that 10K for burning, po? exclusively for the car?

my monthly gas bill is 2K. my office is only 6 km away from the house. i seldom go to the mall. (compute your probable gas bill, po.)
company parking is free for me. what about yours, po?
i have my own secure, home garage.
annual car registration plus required TPL costs me 3.5K. comprehensive insurance.. let's say 20K annually.
pms is about 2-3K every time (once a year for me).
my car is relatively new, so i don't expect repair bills in the near future (3 years or so).

the above alone, already costs 50K a year.
a fertile imagination can easily generate an additional 50K (4.2K a month).

if having a car will make commuting to/from work and/or school more manageable, then having a car that you can honestly afford, may be "justifiable".

now, if you are eyeing a used car for 200K, in all likelihood, you will want to have something in it, fixed asap. exactly how much it will cost, i have no idea.... when i bought a 10 year old car, i spent an additional 15K for required fixing, to make it safe for driving. and i still believe i was lucky with that bill.

Kung ang savings na to e nagagawa mo na at hindi plano pa lang i think doable.

Pero ung first month mo or so pagkakuha mag ready ka ng more than 10k definitely hehe. Cost of car + paperworks + pagawain/tune up + quick detail siguro.

sir ano b maganda makuhang auto na pasok sa budget ko?

Para saan ba gagamitin?
Ano priorities mo?
Pang solo ba o pang family?
Pasok sa budget mo, sentra, lancer, meron din honda pero hindi sir.
First car mo ba or laruan mo lang?
