Advice for a graduating student.

**guigui** · March 2nd, 2011 09:36 AM

*TS:

This is quite an unorthodox advise. Would you consider having a Mercedes Benz W123 body? Para sa mga 90s kids, it's hell old but it's so durable, kasi matanda pa nga sa akin ang iba sa mga W123 (being born in 1984.) Get a diesel one for a better fuel economy. The technology is quite simple and parts are quite abundant. Downside is the expensive parts if there is a need to replace one. But wait, kung gagastos ka sa parts pero tatagal naman ng at least 5 years siguro nang walang kalampag, it's also worth the investment compared to a 2nd hand car pero every now and then, may pinapalitan ka. May isang tsikoteer din po kasi (not me) na nung college siya, MB W123 ang kotse niya while his batch mates drove brand new japs. Yung mga Japanese cars nung mga ka-batch niya ay nadispatsa na lahat pero yung Benz niya ay nasa kanya pa hanggang ngayon.

Goodluck sana makagraduate ka pati makapasok ka sa college na may malaking parking. 2004 Mazda 3 meron na for 400k.

Hehe naisip mo pa yan bro

Ako naman pag nag kolehiyo anak ko, di ko bibigyan ng auto, either commute siya or pahatid sa driver. Alam ko pakiramdam ng kolehiyong naka auto, nakupo. Lagi nasa banawe kung ano ano pinapakabit at ginagastusan. May babayaran daw school yun pala pandagdag sa Mags at gulong. Tapos puro pambababae lang inaatupag.

Tapos ang number 1 criteria pa ni TS speed..tsk tsk kayo talaga kinukunsinti nyo yung bata heheh. Sorry ha grupong Tanders tong nagpopost

His parents probably don't want him to be inconvenienced with commuting. Also if he has his own car he will be less abala to the people around him eg pahatid or pasabay. If he goes on a night out, the parents won't be worried about how he'll be going home. Plus his friends without cars will be the one depending on him rather than him depending on others for a ride. Owning a car also teaches him how to be responsible.

orderbayad, what college or university are you attending ba?

punta ka doon and check out the cars of the students

that will give you an idea what car papabili mo

baka puro brand new/late model/tuner cars nakapark doon

para di ka out-of-place, at least FD civic pabili mo. padagdag mo yung 400T budget

A college boy driving his own car teaches nothing..maybe it teaches him how to drive fast and park in tight places but nothing that will equip him to be a more productive person in his future. Mas mabuti pa ma experience niya mag commute at mag paka simple. Imagine if a student commutes everyday, then one day may project sa bahay, pag punta ng mga classmates niya dami palang auto. Or baliktarin natin, ganda ng auto, pag punta sa bahay bulok pala na apartment tapos family car yung dala ni student

kakahiya

And the plot thickens...

If the parents can afford to buy and maintain the car, why not. Responsibility pa rin naman ng magulang na turuan ng tama yung anak with regards to owning a car or any thing with value at that.

Kung habol ay porma lang at social climbing, siyempre mali. pero kung kaya talaga, no problem yan sa TS. Ultimately, owning a car has its pro's and con's depending not only on the individual, but also to the parents that will guide the racer, este ricer, este driver pala. hehehe
