ito ho sakin idea..

1) used cars
pros - lesser cash exposure
range of brand choices
range of year models (toyota/honda up to 98 models for your P350k budget; ford/koreans up to 2001 models
low insurance premium w/ high risk factors like total wreck or carnap non coverage
cons - highly suspect type of car usage
warranty voids
high maintenance
insurance limitations
high maintenance

2) new cars
pros - swak na swak ang kia picanto sa budget mo kasama na insurance + 3 years warranty
cons - not your type of car due to smaller engine (1.1l) and brand (korean)

convince your dad the practicality of subcompact cars given the toughness of car ownership these current times..
