    Noob here. I'm deciding on a buying my first car, choices are bnew car like Jazz, Yaris, Fiesta (I prefer hatchback, pero ok lang rin kahit hindi), Elantra, OR the one my brother is offering me, his 2006 Fortuner V (4x4) Diesel at ~800k.

    Personally, SUV guy ako, I always complain pag dinadrive ko yung kotse ng friends ko like ang baba ng car, or ang liit ng side mirror haha, minor stuff. Hindi naman sya non-negotiable. Kung maliit na car, I'd prefer hatchback, again hindi rin final, I can still go with sedan(?) type.

    Also on a budget rin ako. Ok lang sa brother ko na hulugan ko sya, same interest rate as bank financing for a bnew car pero no need to go a bank (i think good deal to), pero naisip ko rin kung bibili ako ng 5yrs+ na sasakyan, malaking sakit sa ulo rin sa maintenance (not sure about this, narinig ko lang na lumalabas sakit ng mga sasakyan after 5 years). So leaning towards brand new ako kung ganito yung case, unless ma convince ako to take my brother's offer. Feeling ko rin medyo overpriced para sa kapatid haha! Baka tawaran ko ng 700 - 750k kung papayag.

    So in summary, question are
    1) Should I buy a brand new one or take my Kuya's offer.

    2) If I buy a new one, ano kayang ok in terms of fuel efficiency and reliability: Jazz, Yaris, Fiesta, Elantra (or other cars, naisip ko rin mag Crossover kaso d na abot sa budget ko na 700-900k). TIA!

    P.S. Optional 3rd question: Baka may promo ngayon na maganda, like rainy day promo or big discounts. I heard meron ang CRV pero hindi na abot sa budget.

    Mahirap pumili sa magkaibang segment, iba ang tindig ng SUV pero iba pa rin ang brand new pero kung ako mamimili sa SUV na ako at least alam ko kung saan galing at paano inalagaan.

    Thank you. So far unanimous to go with SUV. Tama po, alam ko pano ito inalagaan at kung nagkaron ng damage. Hindi ito nabaha, casa maintained, pero 103,000 kms na sya. (Malaki ito dba, normally 50-60k kms). Lagi ko parin sya nahihiram at gusto ko talaga syang i drive. Iba talaga tindig ng SUV, at may respeto talaga in many ways, ibang iba sya pag dala ko yung Adventure ng isa ko pang kuya, or Altis ng friend ko.

    Natatakot lang ako sa "sakit", yung mas mataas na yung chance mag fail mga parts. So far hindi pa kami na llet down ng Fortuner, worst case na is naka daan ako ng PVC pipe na basag, pero nakauwi parin ako.

    Kung Ondoy, you'll wish you had a Crosswind. Cost of replacing Fort ECU: 40k-60k. Cost of replacing Crosswind ECU: 0k.

    It's the "Toyota" thing. People will sometimes pay ridiculous prices for secondhand cars that are in demand... like the Fort... the old CR-V... the Jazz...

    -

    Seriously, though. 100,000 kilometers. 5 years old. "V". Brand new "V" is 1.2m. Take that 1.2m. Add depreciation. You should realistically expect to pay only 600k for it, especially with that mileage and the fact that the next Fort is around the corner with the ugraded 2.5 diesel.

    For 800k pesos, you should be able to buy a two-year old Fort 2.5 with much less on the clock.

    Whoop. Looked at wrong price.

    At an assumed 20%, market average: 557k.

    At an assumed 15% depreciation (low dep... because "Toyota"), 750k pesos total.

    Both depreciation calculated off of current worth, not total, because if it's calculated off total, after five years, the worth is 0 pesos.

    Say, 750k, good condition. But it's a 100,000 kilometer car. So deduct about 100k from it. Ganyan din... 650k pesos.

    If I am caught in the middle of a sea of vehicles with cars who can't move forward because of deep flood....

    Then I myself,- even in a Fortuner or an Ecosport or a Ranger or a MS or a GS or a Sorento, is stranded....

    But of course, I am more confident than most of the rest...
