agree with all the above. if you dont like depreciation, get a used car. The first owner takes majority of the brunt with depreciation.

now ask yourself, why do you want the car?

If its something to get you from point A to point B, then buy the cheapest yet still well maintained car out there. take into account total cost of ownership. baka nga cheap yung car pero parts are hella expensive plus malakas pa sa gas.

If the car is something you really fancy, like an old classic that you don't see yourself letting go of in the near future, then go for it. passion will beat depreciation hehe

If you are looking for an investment, forget it. Nobody can predict which cars will hold their value over time. Forget all the sales talk people say about cars being an investment, they are not. They are a liability.
