Honda Pasig & Global (both AC Automotive) have the lowest offer at 1,110,000 for the outgoing (2018), cash.

Go get your bank's "Yes" and lets buy 2 Civics - who knows the 1,110,000 will drop further. Haha!

Buy from a trusted seller or someone you know so that you can get an honest assessment.

Brand new cars are not exempted from "issues" ... Anyway, it's your money, your call ...

[dr. d]

buy a used car to learn driving with... bang it around... then sell it, crumpled fenders and all. then, buy a new car once you learn how to drive "adequately".
of course, this is no guarantee that driver won't crash the brand new car, either...

buy a brand new car to learn driving with.. bang it around.. have insurance and warranty take care of it...

between the two, i am not sure which is a cheaper or which is a more expensive proposition.
what i do know is, the brand new car is probably nicer to learn how to drive with, as it probably and expectedly has fewer bugs in it.

what did i do, when i was a newbie?
i bought a very used car, as it was all i could afford. i banged it a few times.
but you know what? when i thought i was already a good driver, i bought a new car. and guess what! i still managed to bang it a few times.

i guess what i am saying here, is that if buyer can honestly and comfortably afford a new car, then go for the new car.

I have a friend. Bought a car. Then studied driving after buying the car but before the car was delivered.

On the same day the car was delivered, he crashed the car to a parked 10 wheeler on dimasalang.

Car was repaired at the casa for 3 months. when the car was released, he went to sm san lazaro and scraped the railing damaging the new fender, new bumper and doors.

Car brought back to the casa for repairs. He now has no car.

On the bright side, he only spent 5k for each major repair and even if he bought a used car, he would have ended up with no car while it was under repair, he might have even spent more in repairs as buyers don't usually buy comprehensive insurance for used cars

Paki detailed pano nya nabangga ang parked car.

Paki detailed pano nya nabangga ang parked car.

my guess is,
the car was delivered to him one day, and he proceeded to drive it out that very same day, whereupon he drove it onto a parked car (in this case, a ten-wheeler).
so yes, even parked cars can get into a fender bender.

sirko, i am curious. what car did your friend buy?

There is nothing wrong with second hand cars, you get more value, "generally".

But then you are in the market for a brand new car, a brand new Civic 1.8 White specifically and you have the budget and is willing to pay for it - so you should get that.

.

the fear of most buyers of used cars, is the (mal-) treatment the car might have suffered from its previous owner.
as someone said, "no one sells his car because it runs well".
yes, a good buyer will inspect it well for signs of...
but how many buyers are automotively skilled in such?

if used cars are as well-maintained as what their owners say, i figure many of us will be buying used cars instead of new cars.

[uls]

if you buy a late model car and have it checked and serviced at a reputable shop you'll have a car as reliable as brand new

even if you bought a 10 yr old car that has issues it can be solved

[dr. d]

having a reputable shop in mind is nice.
but i'd rather buy a used car that is in good condition, so's i don't have to bring it to a reputable shop where i will spend more money to put it in good condition.

Maybe he should just hire a driver instead. Baka next time tao naman ang mabangga niya.

Is your friend named Stevie Wonder?

He's lucky to still be alive after crashing to a 10 wheeler truck, I hope for his sake he does not ride a motorcycle.

I would also disown him if I were the owner/instructor of the driving school.

I mean after buying a used car even if it's in very good condition I would still bring it to a shop for oil change, check brake pads, fluids, belt etc

Replace tires if needed, check camber/alignment

Also bring to aircon shop check freon

Tapos dalhin sa carwash
