hi all!

I've decided to postpone buying my car 'til the end of this year. Budget constraints. If I wait awhile, I may be able to avail of a more "interest-friendly" way of buying the car, that is, by getting a soft loan from my parents to add to what I already saved, so I can steer clear of banks.

Many thanks to all who answered my queries (however silly) over the past weeks. I can't believe this thread is now 6 pages long. I hope some of what we discussed will also help other (similarly confused) new car buyers.

I will continue to post here at Tsikot in other threads, and here, especially when the new models of Toyota and Honda come out. I'm sure this thread will become especially active again, when the time comes for me to decide what car to buy. Sana sagutin niyo pa rin ang mga tanong ko.

Muli, maraming salamat. :D
