hi all,

I will definitely wait for the new tax scheme, and I hope it will result in lower prices for sedans. I've seen a few newspaper reports stating projecting an increase in the total market share of sedans, vis-a-vis AUVs for example, due to more competitive pricing.

thus far, i'm partial to the lynx and the jimny. per my research, the 2002 lynx seems to be rated high. conversations with friends (who own cars) tend to reveal a not-so-good impression of the lynx (that it has a bad engine, that it will be phased out etc). i'm hoping that this was the aftermath of the earlier models of the lynx and is no longer true for the current models? re the jimny, many thanks to mbt for listing down the jimny's probable faults.

i'll try to check out the altis and the new lancer within the next few weeks.

i've done a bit of math and i realized that i need to increase my downpayment to about the 40-50% range so that my monthly amortizations won't be too high. which means if i want to get a brand new car, it will happen either end of the this year or early next year. my EQ is going to be tested. hahaha!

oh well, kung mukhang di ako mabubuhay with the monthly amortizations, will just buy a second hand car muna.

ang hirap!
