Go for brand new, whatever happens its under warranty. An 8 year old car even if well maintained will have issues later due to wear and tear. For me, the only time I would be buying 2nd hand is if the car is 3 years or younger. This is based on my experience. The exception to this is when I'm looking for a project car that I would be restoring or modding, in which case, age of the vehicle will not matter.

Napakamahal pyesa ng escape, minsan paparatingin pa pyesa pag ang nasira hindi stockable, kapatid ko meron 2004 model mga nasira sa kanya part ng steering system na inabot ng 6 mos bago dumating pyesa, brake system yung master, idler bearing, alternator, radiator, at mga pang ilalim pati shock.

I'm loving our Mirage. I just wish we took the manual model were it not for my mom and sisters. Anyway, you'll grew to love the CVT. Smooth operator.

Lets just compute
Assume 12K km per year
TOTL P638K Mirage vs P300k Escape vs 498K Base
Initial downpayment of 300k for mirage (acc. to bpi that would mean a P8617.59 for 48 months or P7295 for 60 months
Escape 7km/l Mirage 14 kp/l (di ako sure)

Yearly expenses
Escape
Gasoline P85714
Maintenance P10000 (assume lang)
Slush Fund P15000 (something could go wrong)
Bank payments NA
P112514

Mirage
Gasoline P29350
Bank Payments P87540 TOTL P51276 Base
Maintenance P5000
P121890 TOTL
P85626 Base

The Base Mirage is substantially cheaper than either
But TOTL Mirage is more expensive than the Escape

But there's another factor: depreciation
Difficult to compute because there are no 5 year old Mirages or 13 year old escapes

I dont understand the difficulty of getting parts for Fords, I know places that can deliver nearly any ford part in a few hours, even with the option of oem or replacement. Tbh its easier to get parts for a ford than a kia and isnt much more expensive
*OP check if your nearby talyers can supply parts for fords, it could be location related (shops in alabang can fix a ford easily, not so sure about other places)

Don't go casa. If it's not under warranty, buy from MazFord in Banawe. Much cheaper, pa.

Ako lang ata pipili ng Escape.

Unlike sa Mirage, hindi ka tied down sa bank for 5 years. Less risk.

Yung immonthly amort mo, ipang-gas mo nalang sa Escape. Same lang. But you get a bigger and probably a much comfortable vehicle.

Uncle mo naman nag-offer, if you and your uncle are in good terms in terms of family relationship, I don't think he'll hand you over a car that's in POS condition.

Like BMW, if you know where to get your parts aside from CASA, maintenance won't be that much of a hell.
