Hi Tsikoters...

Didn't see a thread for this, so I'll start one...

If you were to choose, which one would you pick? Assume AT hinahanap and sagad na budget pag brand new.

2nd hand Altis:
- lower acquisition cost, healthy 2nd hand market, typical price range is 500-550K (2001-2003 model)
- the extra cash you can save could buy you mods for your car - suspension upgrades (lowering springs, performance shocks), wheel & tire upgrades (low profile tires), skirts, audio system, etc.
- you can't be 100% sure of the quality and condition of the car you're getting. the challenge is to find the "best" 2nd hand unit out there...
- possibility of additional repairs


Brand new Altis:
- higher acquisition cost; around 800K+ for a 1.6E AT
- comes with 3yr/100K km warranty
- generally can't mod till warranty expires, so you're pretty much stuck with the kinda-bland look.
- hassle-free to acquire and maintain


What do you think?
