CAR or CONDO UNIT?

[iRevoLution_mo]

CONDO...

*doesnt depreciate.
*gives you less headaches
*much pogi points
*much easier to meet new friends, hot schicks.. lalo na pag lagi ka sa pent house area at lagi ka nag woworkout sa gym. mahirap kaya umayuda sa loob ng tsikot.. haha!

I both have a condo and car.

Kung may own house ka naman, i would prefer a car rather than a condo. coz sa condo forever gastos, monthly due per square meter na nagtataas bigla bigla, ang kurtente super mahal may charge pa ang misc. expense, plus 5% charge for something that i dont know. then forced na magpakabit ng cable coz hindi abot ang signal sa itaas. at ang cable is not even worth it dahil private cable. Mahal ang water bill, at by the way, hindi kasama ang parking lot sa condo, kaya kelangan mo pang bumibili ng parking lot worth ng isang 1.8 A/T honda civic isang parking lot lang yun ha na kasya ang isang sasakyan bukod pa ryan magbabayad pa ng monthly due sa car lot per square meter

so! sakit ng ulo ang condo

para namang ang kotse ay hindi forever gastos....

PMS, accessories, gasolina, depreciation cost, reg. fee. etc.

if that is your reason for not choosing a condo, you might as well disregard the thought of buying a car. coz there both forever gastos!

OT: just handed my reservation fee for a condo unit instead of buying a third car due to this thread.

Well maiintindihan nalang ng mga tao ang sinasabi ko kapag sila na mismo ang naka experience nito. I still believe that mas mahal mag maintain ng condo kesa car. (if both is forever gastos) nag dedepreciate din naman yan. ganito kc if gusto mong magtipid sa gasolina, then mag commute ka or pwede mong iset aside yang car mo at wag munang gamitin for certain period of time kung talagang walang wala ka ng pang maintain. eh pag bumili ka ng condo, di mo yan pwedeng pabayaan nalang ng basta basta, tuloy tuloy parin ang gastos kahit hindi mo ginigamit, kahit anong tipid mo wala kc may certain expenses kang babayaran na constant na at hindi na pwedeng iwasan.. at hindi mo yan pwedeng ipag pahinga at igarahe for a certain period of time... hindi mo pwedeng sabihin sa administrator na hey pwede bang wag muna akong magbayad..

[Aileen]

well im saying all these based on my experience up to you...

[mitsiboy]

Condo na!

O.T lng!hehe

Anyone who is interested to invest in a condo unit in Fort,Rockwell or Taft ave beside pls contact me..great projects from philtown..09272627169..visit www.philtown.net..

[_Qwerty_]

kung wala pang bahay.. at nag rent lang.. and pinagpipilian ang condo or car.. eh syempre mas logical yung condo.. lalo na kung maganda ang location nang condo.. eh kahit hindi tirahan yan eh magandang investment yan.. yung condo namin.. eh after 3 years.. eh mga 1M naang ang ni appraised nang value.. from 1.8M to 2.8M...

ang car kasi.. you can live without that.. kami sapul nung mga bata hanggang nakatapos nang college at nakapag trabaho eh wala namang car.. so we survived using public transport..

condo

[bomboklat]

condo din ako

[forcemajeure]

I'll go with a CONDO

[mark_t]

Condo's are the worst kind of investment for me. If you do not have yet an agricultural land doon kayo.

A motorcycle and agricultural land.

Puede ka mag alaga ng aso, kambing, baka.

Puede kang gumawa ng mini airfield kung RC planes trip mo.

Ikaw lang mag limit sa trip mo and puede rin no neighbors.

I think the TS is a city dweller and agriculture lang is out of the picture...if he/she choose to buy an agricultural land then the more that he also need to buy a car 'coz most agricultural land are way out of the city and beside it's not even included in the choices...

condo, especially if the location is near your work then not having a car is possible...

I guess those who chose the car are very young people and don't think of the future yet...

'coz napansin ko na yun bata pa ako all things are incomparable to having your own car....parng ang pinakaimportant saiyo pag bata ka pa is magkaroon lang ng sariling kotse...and bahala na kung anong mangyari bukas...

[frenchtower]

Ask yourself which is your priority?

If you want real investment and a place to live, get a HOUSE AND LOT.

If your objective is to be near your work place, get a CONDO.

If your objective is to occasionally have a place to stay and at the same time, generate a little income with less fuss of condo ownership, get a CONDOTEL.

Either car or condo, whatever you decide will surely make you happy. Just be smart in your decision since both are serious financial commitments.

ok

so if you have 3.5m to burn?

Condo or Car?

we will assume that both will depreciate,
What will give you more pleasure? Driving around or decorating your flat?

I will get a 2nd hand vios and bring my family to a very long drive, because driving is my pleasure.500k for the car and 3 m to finance the trip. If i have 3.5m now.

Condo's are not real estate to me.(Real estate to me is a piece of land covered by title) So condo's will not hold its value over time in my opinion.

But if you will factor in real estate then you can get a lot in mandaluyong or san juan with
3.5m. meron ka na townhouse unit with this budget.

But since it is between a car and a condo. The car wins.

And if i have 3.5m cash now and no strings attached, i will get a townhouse unit in mandaluyong or maybe a vacant lot in San juan.

Ganito na lang kaya ang tanong?

What will you do with 3.5m with no strings attached?

me 3.5M na townhouse unit in those areas you mentioned? San yan sa mandaluyong or san juan bro?

Mura sya kng ganun....

[Jun aka Pekto]

If the P3.5m is disposable money, then get a car. Just don't put car and investment in the same sentence.

Cars are a commodity. They're like a pc or a big toy. They depreciate as soon as they leave the showroom. It doesn't matter how good you take care of a car, you're never going to get back what you put into it. A car is merely a toy. That's all it is.

A condo..... There's a good chance you can recoup what you put into it and then some if you take care of it and it's located at a nice place.

Given a choice between having a car and then leeching off my folks/relatives for a place to live in or having my own abode (condo) and driving an older car/commuting...... I'd take the latter, especially in Manila. Push comes to shove, it's not necessary to have a car to get to work or school. It's just more convenient. But, living space in Manila is always at a premium, especially if it's at a convenient location.

Punta ka sa acacia lane likod ng jollibee shaw, Clairmont townhomes it is a compound starting at 2.2 to 5m . another is along acacia lane right side 250 meters away from the gate of clairmont mga 4 units ito last i checked 3.5m.

Another option is to check on foreclosed properties in mandaluyong check mo lang mga listing and offer the 70% published price or lower puede pala ito gawin. 2 months ago nabili yon lote sa tabi namin for 250sq.m 1.6m kalentong area. ginawa lang parking area .

Recently ko lang nalaman na puede pala baratin banks kasi kumita na sila dito.

at san juan naman drive around ka lang and magtanong tanong ka. pag vacant lot baba ka kotse mo and tanungin mo lang kung magkano.

karamihan ng mga mura eh yon mga nag migrate na mga family, priced to sell talaga.

[mazingerZ]

A condo unit also has maintenance costs. Meron ka ring monthly even if you are not staying there. I'll go with a second hand car and a residential lot in the suburbs. Sayang if you plunk the entire amount on a condo or a car.
