Thanks for your inputs, I guess I'll keep the ESi instead since I had its minor defects repaired already.

*ron - I get your point sir. It seems like all second hand units have hidden defects that you have to find out. Sabagay at least mas kabisado ko na yung esi ko.

*macky - You're right sir, It's with me for almost 5 months pa lang. Due na nga siya for change oil/tune up, mga 400kms pa. Hehehe..

Puro preventive maintenance lang ang gastos ko kasi natatakot ako baka lumala at itirik pa ako sa gitna ng daan. Pero masyado na ata akong preventive dahil napapalaki gastos ko.. hehehe..

Actually, kelangan ko rin talaga ng car dahil sa mga gimik with friends, date with gf, etc. Weekend ko lang naman talaga siya
nagagamit,ngayon daily drive ko siya dahil ang shift ko sa office inaabot ako ng 1am. Pero pag morning shift naman ako and walang gimik, I take jeepneys.

Also, dream ko rin talaga magka kotse.

My next target is to have enough money so that it can serve as my downpayment to my future house and lot. Gusto ko kasi before 25 may lupa na sana ako eh. Hehehe..

Sorry for the long post, it's just that I've been thinking hard these past few days about how to save more money without sacrificing the
convenience of having a car to use during weekends for dates/gimiks.

Thank you sa mga inputs. I really appreciate it.
