Hi. First time poster here and I'm hoping I can get a bit of help from the knowledgeable Tsikot community. Long time reader na po pero 1st post lang.

I'm planning to get a new SUV. I was almost sold on the Hyundai Tucson GL 2.0L AT. I was given a nice quote. SRP is 1,038M and I'm getting it on 20%DP and 3 years financing.

However, I got this offer that gave me a dilemma.

A friend who owns a car dealership acquired a 2010 Sorento 2.2L AT 5 seater and he's offering it to me at 1M flat. I can also finance it for 3 years. Its mileage is at 27000 and seems to be in pretty good condition. Question now is which one is a better buy?

I'm thinking of the following factors in the decision making process:

1. Fuel consumption differential.
2. Rate of depreciation/resale value in 5 years.
3. Overall performance/experience.

Thank you guys in advance!!!
