New Jazz or 2nd hand 2006 Fortuner V

[mvergel]

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.

Ako rin, ill pick for the Fortuner.

SUV na, at least alam mo kung pano inalagaan yan.

[mvergel]

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.

fortuner. sabi mo suv guy ka. so baka puro lait ang abutin ng jazz. haha. tsaka alam mo naman pano inalagaan ng kuya mo, alam nya condition ng sasakyan. pwede mo tanungin lahat ng gusto mong itanong at siguro naman hindi sya magsisinungaling sayo. so good choice pa din

A new Jazz is more practical than a 100,000 kilometer Fortuner. Maintenance will be easier, parts are cheaper, and there's less that will break.

The bigger your car, the bigger your costs, even if that car is already secondhand.

Go with the fortuner na. You know the car very well since its your brother's car. The depreciation rate of that fortuner would already be very minimal in case you ever decide to sell it in the future. You could then still buy a new hatchback.

Practicality and ease of maintenance = Jazz
Wants = Fortuner

Hirap no? :D

If you get the Fortuner, expect more repairs in the coming years. For the Jazz, service and gasoline lang yan for the first 3-5 years.

Not a fan of the Fortuner here...

Pero, leap of faith.... Fortuner...

Hindi ka naman siguro papasahan ng utol mo ng sasakyang masakit sa ulo...
