two is better than one?!?!

IMO nothing beats brandnew. dapende sa need ng bibili... if hawak yung oras na pwede bypass alis ng coding day, go brandnew. if kailangan ng coding car, 2nd hand field master and civic FD.

The question is... how many cars can you afford to own?

It doesn't make sense to buy a brand new car simply for coding. I'd rather get a 1.2m SUV, like a Montero 2.5 diesel, then get a secondhand compact or subcompact (budget, say, 350k for a secondhand 1.3 MT Honda Jazz) for a coding car. That way my expenses for maintenance and insurance for my coding car aren't as high as they would be if I bought it brand new.

Hmmm..

Depending on how you want the car. Like the Tucson Premium is damn expensive, pero I want it eh, so I have it now. Kahit I can buy 2 cars with the price.

Kung 2 cars naman, Grand Livina nalang than Innova tapos City or Jazz 1.3 A/T.

Yup, bilihin kung ano ang gusto, lakasan lang ng loob yan.

Patrol? di ah

Kung ano lang nasa garahe gagamitin ko kapag coding.

If you ask me 2 cars are better (if you don't have alternative car), perhaps get a mid end montero and a lo-end picanto/celerio/i10 or mid end tucson and lo-end city/accent/vios or lo-end montero/mid end strada and lo end vios/city/accent.

Maintenance? eh kung ikaw lang gagamit halos ganon din maintenance kasi matagal mo naman ma- reach ang 5k km for each car. Matagal din ang wear and tear ng 2 kesa sa 1 kasi paghahatian nila lakad mo.

Insurance? ganon din halos kasi pag 1.8M worth ang vehicle ang insurance premium mo pang 1.8 din. Doble lang reg and tpl mo

Maganda ang may pang coding and alternate car hirap nag hahabol ng oras at nag hihintay. And pwede ka mamili ng appropriate car mo para sa specific trip mo halimbawa ma trapik yung pupuntahan mo dalin mo yung compact, pag madami sasakay o i kakarga or malayo yung malaki dalin mo. Kagandahan nyan pag kelangan mag overnight ang isang oto sa casa may isa ka pa, or pag nasira o nabangga yung isa (knock on wood) may ginagamit ka pa isa habang pinapagawa.

Very well said. +100

I agree to this, it makes a lot of sense, very practical

Buying cars is like having a relationship for 10 years (supposing you're pretty loyal to her). I'd say choose one that's prettier and more ***y rather than going for two "less" endowed ladies. Then again, more the merrier paminsan :naughty2:

+1 on this. Sometimes, the more the merrier, but you will always go back to the one your heart truly desires.

Sometimes being impractical is better. You only have one shot at life so better yet go for the one you really really like.

If I have 1.8M to spare, I'll spend it on a ToTL SUV or pickup because of the frequent flooding here in Manila. Coding is only once a week, I can live with waking up early to beat the 7:00 AM window naman.

Just my opinion though.
