To the TS... Huwag mo ng pagisipan yan desisyon niyo. Get the accent crdi. Comparing to a gas engine mas mageenjoy ka sa drive ng crdi. I myself have two crdi engine cars a tucson and a carens both have good fc's if I have the fund to get a car today it would be an accent crdi. Once you own a crdi vgt engine mabibitin ka na sa mga gasoline engine. with the same or lower displacement. Iba talaga ang feel. ito lang ang masasabi ko may power ka na sa ride mo matipid pa.
If concerned about resale value, go for secondhand. It's absolutely nuts to keep on worrying about the resale value of a brand new car when it gets depreciated by 30% the moment it rolls out of the casa.
why do you repeat your post of "takatakatak..."? what is the aim of your post? rubbing it in? you are obviously biased. you do not want to admit that the advancements in technology has already overtaken your misconceptions. the man has made his decision, why do you have to still tell him he is wrong because his chosen vehicle is a diesel and noisy? marunong ka pa sa kanya.
he asked for advice. so give him advice based on facts and not based on your biases.
and most important of all, he did not ask you to make fun of his decision. respect others so you will also be respected. tapos sabihan kita ng taga bundok magagalit ka e bastos ka naman.
Kung bibili kayo kotse wag niyo isipin presyo, happiness ang importante kaya bili na tayo lahat ng Ferrari.
I used to be one of those pundits who thought "to hell with resale value". But when you look at the net total cash spent on the car, a car with a higher resale value can offset its higher sticker price in the long run.
Say, you get a 700k sedan that you can sell for 300k after 5 years. Then theres this other car that you can buy for 800k but will be able to sell for 500k after 5 years. Not counting the time value of money and other factors (maintenance, fc), your net cash outlay would be "lower" with the more expensive car.
meron mga thread dito comparing 2 other sedans, nabanggit tungkol ang "noise insulation" between the 2, kalokohan na ba yun?
Kung sa Pick-up or trucks sa akin ok lang yang matunog na ganyan, kaso sa sedan eh![]()
