My business shouldn't involve hauling heavy cargo. But in the event I'll do promotions, I'll need to haul 4-5 LCD/Plasma TVs. Still, cargo is at the back of my worries since the car's use is basically for city driving. Would probably only buy the Montero just for its increased land elevation and practicality.
Still, leaning towards the Sonata Premium. I've already suggested that second-hand cars, pero ayaw nila take it or leave it daw yun 1m. Can't simply use the 500k and send the other half to my pockets. And I definitely want to spend for my own car. Ayaw ko yun stigma ng "given by parents" yun mga kotse.
As for the business itself, I decided to emulate US' Gamefly in the renting of console games. I'll wager that piracy would lessen with additional security measures and that I might give them a middle ground between Php100 (piracy) or Php2000 (originals). Meron actually competitor sa PH eh, by the name of Gamehopper, but I'm optimistic kaya naman ng team ko (of course, innovation is included) So as for the car's cargo, I don't see how hauling PS3 games would be "heavy cargo". Distribution would be done via motorcycle (I'll properly train them, no worries there. Alam ko rin annoyance factor nila being an auto driver). Do what you want to do and love and worry about the profits later -- best advice ever for a startup
