Please help us choose a car. 700k budget (brand new)

**vikkowapo** · January 8th, 2017 03:02 PM

Hi guys. Please help us in choosing a car.

Please suggest on what car should I buy? I don't know much about the specs of a car or what to look for when buying one.

These are things that should be considered:

1. Primarily use it as from home to office (Laguna area) , mga 9km from bahay to office
2. Less than P700k
3. Fuel consumption
4. Automatic po
5. kaya yung 4-5 people on occasional gala
6. Brand new po pla kukunin kasi newbie pa lang and ayaw namin ng sakit ng ulo
7. will be driven by my girlfriend most of the time

Mahihirapan na po istretch yung 700k budget because ang kayang monthly lang ay around 13k. Budget po is a concern.
Thank you po! Excited na po kami marinig ang inyong suggestions.

The car we're looking at is the Mitsubishi GLX.

reminder lang, hindi lang yung monthly amortization ang dapat mo ipaglaanan ng budget. dapat may budget ka din sa gasolina, parking fee, maintenance at yung annual renewal ng auto insurance. na-consider mo na ba ang mga ito sa computation mo?

btw, mirage g4 din suggestion ko. kapitbahay namin naka mirage, laking tipid daw sa gasolina.

A/T na 700K, only a sub-compact. Medyo masikip sa apat na sakay. Visit car dealers para makita ang actual seating capacity.
I will consider Suzuki Swift 1.2 A/T. SRP: Php678K.

Also consider an M/T option para pwedeng makakuha ng mas maluwag ng kaunti like Toyota Avanza. Mga bata pa kayo, a good chance to start driving an M/T.

Yes po factored in na yun sa budget. Thanks for your suggestion.

How about the Honda Brio Amaze? What's your take on it?

G4 is my choice for your budget.

The brio/amaze is ugly imo. Nakita mo narin interior?

Also, the Brio and Amaze are pretty tight, both for legroom and shoulder room. Putting in 4 adults aside from the driver will be a squeeze.

Why not try looking into the bank repo vehicles as well? There are many slightly used, low-milage vehicles that would suit your budget.
