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.
