should we be concerned about depreciation?

[oldblue]

best way to beat depreciation, buy a car for keeps: crdi sedans and suvs.

if going for gasoline, go only for the popular ones like civics, corollas, vios, jazz. city? ewan ko parang hindi for keeps.

with some korean cars, ok lang naman depreciation since acquisition price is low din naman.

yes a car is not an investment, but it's not also an expense (at least, that's how I view it). it's a tool to make you more money. the convenience in having one for you to go to work daily, to get promoted, to get productive, that's good enough benefit.

am not really into that point a to b thingy, but it's important along with some luxuries hehehe, dapat all-powered and comfort, and as much as possible brand new dapat. yun paghawak ng problematic car whether 2nd hand or bnew lemon, grabe yan. you'll lose more. time is the most important thing for me. losing it tosome fixing/repairing sessions, kakainis sobra.


sometimes nga naiisip mas lamang yun tao na sabay binili isang brand new getz + isang brand new vios, kaysa sa tao na bumili ng isang brand new fortuner. puwede palitan each day tsikot niya, hindi malaspag kagad and maintenance cost, parts cost, insurance cost are lower. and madali pa-i-weave in and out sa sobrang jampacked na Manila streets .... and parking! sobrang useful little cars sa mga parkings lalo na kung nagmamadali ka na.
