Thanks for the input guys. I'll have to double check with them if their area in Cavite is flood prone. Also, I recommend test drives, but I feel that they might get carried away by a sales agent and the excitement of buying a new car, that's why I'm helping them maximize their budget and help them think on an objective manner heheheh! Baka mamaya maalok ng Honda Civic and that's the one they really like.. not a fan of stretched payments more than 3 years. Too much interest IMO. Sayang pera nila.

As I mentioned, someone has already suggested second hand cars, but the couple is still starting out and are a bit clueless on cars. They'd want to stick with the warranty within the casa as long as it still stays valid. On the other hand, I don't want to get blamed if ever the second hand car they got has had suddenly sprung problems out of nowhere. Di ko rin naman sila matutulungan since they're on Cavite and I am on QC.
