Vehicle for College student P700-900k Budget

[travajante]

jimny.
light weight.
short wheelbase.
tall ride height.
matagtag talaga.

sedan.
heavier (relatively) car.
longer wheelbase.
low ride height.
smoother ride.

but for young ones,
"matagtag might not be an issue."

With his budget, whatever savings from getting a good used Jimny will be more than enough to soften it up, doc.[emoji4]

I guess the best persons to decide for TS are who will be paying for the car. Most likely the parents and they will be also the ones paying for gas & maintenance.

"anak, you have a choice between a previously-new jimny, and a lovingly used fortuner..."
ano kaya ang pipiliin ni TS?

[Egan101]

I told my daughter that when the time comes she will learn to drive, she can use whatever we have available. I will not buy her a new one so that she will learn how to take good care of stuff we paid for. When the time comes she has her own money, she can buy what she wants.

^^^ Eh Paano kung Wala naman ipamana tapos batugan yung anak? Even worse may mga anak na demanding pa sobra.

A few years back, I know someone who was given a car by their parents. Sabi ng dad puwede na yung base 2016 Civic 1.8L sa anak nya, sumagot yung anak na dapat yung Civic RS bilhin. 4 years later, parents pa rin gumagastos sa kotse kasi jobless pa rin yung anak. Nawalan ng work yung dad pero mas may effort pa maghanap ng new work kaysa anak nya. Even worse, gusto nung anak na lagi pa nililinis yung kotse nya.

Parents should cut him off. Kunin nila yun kotse at ibenta to help sa gastusin ngayon walang trabaho yun tatay. Palayasin na yun anak sa bahay.

Kaya sa mga ganyan mas tama yun westerns eh. Pag adult na you're on your own.

Kasalanan ng parents yun bat nila ni-spoil wala naman palang pang-spoil. Yung anak tuloy umaastang anak-mayaman di naman pala mayaman yung pamilya. [emoji28]

Sobrang pagmamahal sa anak, they failed to realize the future implications. Tama si Just, ok lang kung trust fund baby sya.

Practical suggestions Bai, coming from the Masters [emoji38].

I agree with the suggestion of renting near, or even dorm, even if 6 kms away lang Ang bahay nila. Walang exposure to driving hazards, a lot of time to rest rather than on the road. And matuto sya to keep his feet on the ground.

Kung gusto porma, edi buy pa rin the vehicle, so meron syang pang la mierda

My 8yrbold daughter said kanya na daw Mux pag laki nya. Sure kako, basta galingan nya sa school. Ma-record nga minsan para wala ng bawian hahaha

Hello mga sir! Slightly off topic but I just wanna ask if it is still advisable to buy sedans (2nd hand Honda Civic 1.8 E 2018/2019 specifically) kung sa Manila ka nakatira? I am going to study sa Manila po kasi and bibilhan po ako ng dad ko ng sarili kong kotse para di po hassle sa pag commute. My initial choices is of course sedans (Altis, Mazda 3, Civic) since solo ko lang naman po palagi. However, my dad recommended crossovers nalang po like the mazda cx3/cx5, subaru xv, honda hrv for the added ground clearance.

And currently I am really lost on what car to buy hahahaha sa crossovers I am leaning towards the subaru xv but I’ve read that mahal daw po parts/maintenance kaya bumabalik lagi ako sa civic [emoji28].

Will really appreciate your inputs mga sir!

use what is already available.
consider getting another vehicle, if and after yours gets waterlogged.
for all we know, "it will never happen" during your stay there, what with the education impartation changes covid is forcing us to adopt...

i know of some folks,
instead of bothering with purchasing a car,
they rent living space across the university.
they figured, at the end of four years, they're financially ahead, compared to had they purchased and maintained a car, instead..
hindi pa na-pagod.

A very sound advice, indeed! I think this is what CVT did with his college kid.

honestly, best advice =)

But maybe may bahay sa Otis sila TS making it hard to justify renting another one while the house is not in "frequent use". Who knows.

I would agree to use what is available also sa garage ng family. But baka sakto na sa current need nila and nagallot naman dad to add for that expected college years na isang vehicle. So the alternative is TS can get what is available in the garage while the dad then tries to find a new set of wheels to replace what was used by TS =)

Take it 1 step further. Buy a condo in the area. No parking expense. No worries about the vehicle getting flooded. No gas expenses. No traffic. You can wake up 30 minutes later since you only need to walk, no time wasted in traffic and finding a parking spot.

And the best reason. After graduation, SELL IT AND GET YOUR MONEY BACK.

Advocate sa walking. Kaso notorious pa din ba outside UST campus ang snatching at hold up ng students ngayon?

I am my kids driver when i am on vacation. My usual route is to enter via Dapitan and then park in front of the high school building. I would then normally go out again to Dapitan on foot and buy food for my daughter and wait until she is dismissed from class. In the 2 years i did this i have never heard of any hold ups or snatching. The students go around dapitan and P.Noval casually. Also there seem to be occasional police presence which discourages any bad personages from going there. Even during night time when the students living in the area come out for their dinners they don't seem to be concerned with crime. Although the latest i was there in dapitan was maybe 8:30pm when my daughter had a late cheer dance practice i don't think it is any different at later hours. My wife also was president of the class pta last year and crime around the university was never in the agenda. So no, there does not seem to be any reason for concern.

Hindi na, for me walkable na yung area even at night.

BTT: I would recommend the Jazz. It's a good choice your age. Kapag baha, madalas walang pasok. Kung inabutan sa school at baha dadaanan paguwi, a good reason to sleep over. Enjoy your youth!

Maraming salamat sa clarifications. Good to know na okay na ngayon. Hindi tulad ng time ng siblings ko noong 90s at 2000s, notorious ang area sa Espana sa harap at Lacson sa gilid.

BTT din, +1 sa Jazz, lalo MT.
+1 din sa Jimny. Ang hindi ko alam kung bakit naging uncool ito ngayon. Depende siguro kung ano ang cool. Kung park anywhere at go anywhere or kung may "resing resing" na image.
