Is it the time to buy my own Brand new Car?

Buy the most basic car that has good resale value ... save money for future business expansion or opportunities ... wife probably wants to buy a Mazda CX-5 to impress people ... if you want to be practical, the better choice would be a Toyota Innova ... A Honda City and Toyota Vios are also good family cars ... plus there are only two of you ... a car can last for 10 years with proper care but expect about 7-8 years of good use before the maintenance starts costing more ...

Basta bumalik sayo ang investment mo for the car, not necessarily monetary ang pagbalik, like comfort and safety, improved productivity relating to business and yung ma-sasave mong time kase mobile ka etc.

tama. if the wife has a tendency to show off then it's gotta be suppressed it's better to have big fat time deposit accounts and lots of real estate assets than to have a flashy car

Hello mga sir, bago lang po ako dito and totally newbee po sa Car. Hingi sana ako advise sa inyo kung sapat na kaya yung income namin sa business para bumili ng car?

So 26 year old na po kami mag-asawa at my business, 2 years married but no baby yet. Laki din kami sa hirap pareho at nag sumikap para mag ka roon ng sariling negosyo kaya kung mayroon man kaming pag-gagamitan ng pera ay iniisip muna namin mabuti o nanghihingi ng advise sa ibang tao kung tama ba ang gagawin namin. We are planning to buy car next year sana but we are getting paranoid because of excise tax next year and the next two years. Ang net income namin sa business namin ay 120k to 150k a month. Plan na din namin mag baby this next year.

So hingi sana ako advise sa mga kuya ko dyan na mas may experience sa buhay, i do not want to regret later na kung bakit kumuha ako ng car na worth 1.5m, nga pala ang car na balak namin ay Mazda CX-5 FWD Pro at balak sana namin ay installment lang. So mga 10 to 15 years ba ang lifespan ng car? Ano ba ang tamang estado sa buhay para kumuha ng 1.5m car? Maraming Salamat po mga kuya!

On my opinion lang naman, kayang kaya na kumuha ng sasakyan yung net income ninyo. Car's lifespan would always depend on how they are used. Pero as what my father said, for the first 5 years of brand new car wala kang magiging problema, minsan umaabot pa hanggang 7th year na walang problema, then after that year mejo magiging magatos na dahil sa mga car issues.

hehe dami ko natutunan dito ah :D first timer din ako if ever and pinag pipilian ko is subcompact or go with suv na agad ... i have 5 kids kasi pero maliliit pa so after reading the thread napag iisip n din ako kung di ba magsasayang lang ko ng pera if mag sub compact pa ako pero parang sayang din if di ko naman mapapakinabangan ng husto ang suv since mga kids ko is elem pa lang

[perfectstranger]

go for 7-seater if you have 5 kids kahit maliliit pa sila. unless you can afford to change from 5 to 7 seats after a few years time. di naman sila peter pan, lalaki mga yan and it would be uncomfortable kung masyadong siksikan.

Oh, 5 kids ... Toyota Innova is for you ... it's not safe to ride in a Toyota Vios or Honda City ...
