    Question is how vintage is vintage? If most parts are available locally, pwede siguro (like japanese cars). A brand new car would be more practical. Pero syempre, a vintage would be a headturner. Imagine sa traffic, kasabayan mo puro bagong modelo, tapos sa yo vintage. Malamang, all eyes on you! I used to own a vintage car kaya alam ko feeling.

    Kung practicality, siyempre brand new. Initial cost may be a bit higher, but maintenance and repair will be low, plus the added reliability will save you time. But if you had to ask, maybe that's not the ONLY consideration?

    it will all depend...
    for everyday drive, i would prefer something brand new. iba ang comfort ng bago.

    pero if i have ekstra (sorry, sira keyboard ko eh...) moolah.. i would be restoring a vw karmann ghia... this will be my weekend/toy car.

    For comfort and practicality wise, syempre sa brand new. If you are planning to go for old ones..then upgrades and mods, siguro hobby na yun.

    just my 0.2 cents

    oldschool car kung hobby at gusto mo matuto/hands-on training vehicle ang hanap mo, meaning may daily ride ka na.. or kulang budget mo, but willing ka matuto sa larangan ng sasakyan, eto ang para sa yo..at once you bought your old-school car, kahit anu pang itsura nyan, expect mong may papagawa ka.kung nga ang b-new ay may lemon/factory defects, maslalo na ang mga to...

    bnew- kung ang sasakyan sayo is just a tool to get you from point a-b and after 3-5 years of its ownership you sell it to get a new one para makaiwas ka sa major repairs..or just want to show na you can afford a new car, then this is for you...aalahanin monalang is maintenance(kung cash) or both maintenance and mortgage...

    Brand new car - For everyday use

    Vintage car - For special occasion

    If I were you, buy a brand new car first for work use, then save money so you can buy your vintage car as a hobby.

    Car restoration, well kikita ka naman if you can get gigs sa mga car show. Pero look at it this way, madami ka pa asikasuhin if magrestore -- look for the car you want to restore, talk to guys na magrerestore for prices tapos after pumili discuss nyo ung gagawin. Ang bnew, babayad ka na lang and wait mo ma-release.
