For 1.2M, would u get a Benz or a BMW?

[William Tell]

Need help. I have a budget of 1.2M. Which model of a Benz or a BMW would you suggest i get. Im single and in my early-30s. Thanks.

[orly_andico]

320i E46 certified pre-owned. kasya na siguro...

[Hero]

i go for luxury kaya sa benzo ako.. the design and resale holds up better than bmw's..

[niky]

Uh, BMWs have great resale value, too.

1.2m will buy you quite a number of nice new japanese/american vehicles, too.

amen... so that is why, for 1.2M, i will get a fortuner or an everest. mas bagay dito sa pilipinas, lalo na dito sa maynila lalo na pag umuulan.

BMW....if you'll be driving.

I would only get it if I already have several cars in my garage.

Pag one and only. I would go a NEW car...preferbably a SUV like a Fortuner. Less sakit ng ulo.

[orly_andico]

yeah... a used vehicle for 1.2m would be straight cash out or very limited terms. you could get a mazda6 for that (just a bit of amortization..)

[mazdamazda]

I'd go for a BMW... the E46 still looks sharp after all these years.

[William Tell]

Thanks for the advises but if a Benz will be considered what model would fit in this budget?

[IIE]

i go for bmw po.

[nicolodeon]

The Bimmer for me.

[acacia00]

I prefer a BMW over a Benz. I somehow relate a Benz to someone in their 40s >.<

Going outside of the box, I'd probably go for an Escape given the budget...

[BlueBimmer]

yeah an E46 325i..maybe a 99 model IF you can find a 2nd hand in that price..if not then a 2003-2004 318i..

better yet a brand spanking new mazda 6 :D

[skyglider]

one of my dream cars is BMW.... pero ok na rin ang Benz kaya lang wala akong pambili...

Good luck sa mapipili mo whether BM or Benz...

[ts1n1ta]

ang gusto benzo. kayo talaga o.

hehehe

[Boy Torotot]

ako Benz gusto ko. basta yong mga later model, tulad nung compressor. or kung medyo older, yong W124 yata na higher model(Elegance yata yon). top gear had a review on that model way back, in their Used Car section, at hanga ako sa model na yon.

don't know kung abot budget mo, though.

[BlueGirl]

BMW ako..ayoko ng chedeng ang dating sakin parang pang oldies.

Hmmm... Mazda6... you actually have to try one if you're considering a secondhand BMW, as the Mazda is the closest you can get to the BMW driving "feel" in a front-wheel drive car.

It's understated, classy and good looking... the interior is well-designed and very austere (unlike the over-exuberant and techno Mazda3) and with very few on the road, you won't see yourself coming and going. Only real problem with the car is the lack of a manual shifter... which takes quite a bit of "oomph" away from the engine.

If you're looking for Benz luxury, while they may not quite have the upscale feel, the Camry and Accord are both very plush high speed cruisers, with great sound insulation (perfect quiet at 140+) and lots of goodies. I'd say Cefiro, as that has a terrific engine (super smooth and quiet), but then that says "lolo-car" even more than an old Benz.

But if your heart is set on a German, I'd get a BMW, at your age.

BMW over Benz.

Mazda 6 2.3L if you're open to Japanese.
