August 4th, 2015 03:31 PM #74I'll go for a not so old 2nd hand car. There's a big significant drop with the value of the car after several years. Not unless you're driving a Land Cruiser. lol

I've acquired the following second hand cars:
2006 - 02 Kia Carnival 44K odo at P360K, repo from a bank
2014 - 05 Kia Sorento 78K odo at P315K, repo by a financing company
2015 - 08 Hyundai I10 30k odo at P215K direct from owner who advertised on OLX.
I kept targeting Korean cars after our good experience with the Carnival and because of their lower resale value. There are always risks when purchasing a second hand car, and immediate additional costs such as change fluids, battery, detailing. However, with the savings vs. a brand new car, you have more than enough resources to handle these plus any eventual repairs that you must factor in because they are older cars.
A quick read of the threads show brand new buyers have very high expectations on their vehicles and are greatly disappointed when they are not met. When any of our cars have problems, I source parts outside the casa and bring them to our trusted mechanic for repair. I still have great satisfaction thinking I have three decent vehicles for the price of one brand new car.
