    Hi Guys and gals,

    I'm planning to buy a new car this month, preferably the Mazda CX5 AWD. Ito ay dahil sa promo nila na 0% interest which for me is a really good deal. Sana nga lang ay kasama yung 2.5 AWD sa promo.

    So what are the steps in buying a new vehicle? Lalo na yung mga steps para iwas sa panloloko ng mga sales agents.

    Please advice me about this. Just fill in the steps. Pasok na kaya dito yung "Anti Lemon Law?"



    Thank you very much.

    Buy a car that fits your lifestyle. Are you sure with the unit? Is it reliable? Dont bite the 0 interest. If its for bank financing there is always a corresponding interest rate. Even inhouse payment does. Just be practical, and read the pros and cons of your chosen car. Happy car hunt!

    It's 50% down and 50% zero interest for 3 years.

    SRP: P1,495,000
    50% DP: P747,500
    Amount Financed: P747,500
    Monthly payment: P20,764 at 0% interest for 36 months

    totoo ba yung free 3 years or 60T kms PMS (parts, oil and labor) nang Mazda?

    Consider gas consumption especially since those kinds of vehicles may drink up more gas than the usual sedans and sub-compacts, Consumption in relation to your daily routes and your potential weekly budget sa gas. Pwedeng kaya ang 20k a month pero baka additional 10k weekly yan sa gas kung malala traffic sa daily route mo at malakas masyado sa gas ung sasakyan.

    Of course, parking rin. It's easy to oversee this but make sure before you purchase a car you have a decent parking space you can use, both at home and to work/school. Lahat naman tayo maselan sa mga gasgas at dents pag bago sasakyan. You also need to consider parking expenses whether you need to rent one where you live (like condos) or parking it daily sa work (e.g. Makati and Fort BGC P120+ ang going rate ng 8-9 hour parking), more or less that's another P2,500 in parking expenses.

    Well depends if these potential issues I mentioned above would affect you or not, of course!

    Hi guys,

    Thank you for your replies. All the advice taken. My main concern now is the selling procedures. Can I just go to a casa and take a look at the variants and say I want this? After then, what's next? Do I need to sign anything, pay any reservation? Can I test drive the unit before I give my cash (para sakaling may kakaibang problema ay malalaman ko agad). Kung sakali ba eh pwede bang papalitan yung unit?

    Thanks

    Nope, you can't test drive the exact unit you're getting before buying it. Wala rin yang 7 days replacement policy. If it's broken, they'll fix it but won't replace your car with a new one.

    Yes, you can walk into a showroom, tell them you want this car, then proceed with the purchase. They will assess your credit standing since you'll be getting their financing scheme, but if you pass, next day you can get your car.

    Di naman mahirap bumili ng auto, basta andiyan na yung cash, at aprubado ka na ng bangko o kung in house, ayos na yon, pili nalang kulay...

    As for the lemon law o kung may sira, e aayusin naman nila yan dahil may warranty...

    Dont overthink, remember brand new yan.

    As for reservation, kung di naman pila yung unit kahit wag na basta mag set ka lang ng sked kung kelan ka magdadown..

    Tanungin mo nalang kung anong freebies ibibigay sayo...

    At kung maganda ahente mo tanong mo kung pwede kayo mag dinner pag pinickup mo unit mo..

    Normally may "reservation fee". Then if magloan ka, secure/complete the loan requirements, have the PO sent to dealer, then pay DP + LTO + other fees, then take out the unit the same day all payments have been made.

    You should test drive the unit before taking it home, usually you need to gas it up pa so you won't be away that far from dealer.

    Papalitan? I think not, they will fix anything that you report is broken (after they confirmed/agree that it is so). Protected naman ang buyer ng Lemon Law.
