before i start i just want to make it clear that i don't discriminate on old cars, i actually like seeing them on the road especially if it's a classic car. but i hate seeing old cars that wasn't maintained properly ie. rusty/non working lights/no side mirrors/smoke belching because they are a hazard to our roads.
first off, it's great that you properly maintained a 13yr old car and isn't giving any trouble. that's actually good for you.
2nd - don't really care that much about gas prices. if it's cheaper then great but if the price gets really high i don't go and complain about it, it's part of buying a car. can't afford gas and keep complaining about how expensive it is, get a bike or walk.
3rd - sounds like you're generalizing all new car buyers so here's the thing, i buy new cars because of all the added features and comfort it has, it makes my commute much better and fun. you really think you're the only one who travels outside of the philippines? i just purchased a new car and i can still travel all over the world, infact i only travel business class and only travel business class because PAL doesn't have 1st class anymore. i've traveled around the world at age 13 and did it again at 18. i travel so much that i even get free plane tickets to wherever i want to go in business class again. when i travel i don't even have to fall in line i just go straight to the plane or our own waiting lounge with free wifi, food and drinks and i can bring 3 check in baggage and all 3 can be 25lbs heavier than your regular passengers. just because you purchased a new car doesn't mean wala ka na pera agad.
4th - my current car is financed but the only reason i financed it because that's the only way i can get one asap but all my other cars was bought cash. we have our own company and finance our company cars, we can buy it in cash but instead of shelling out 1-2M cash on the spot we finance because that 1-2M cash we can double or triple it in just a couple of months that's why we finance for 12-24 months pretty much everything we buy in our company is through financing because of that. i'm sure a lot of other people do this because it is a pretty damn smart move. the only reason why i don't finance my personal cars is because it is much easier and faster to buy in cash, i don't have to submit any documents or monitor my bank account every month unlike in our company some one does that for me kaya ok lang through finance.
you don't have a new car because you can't afford a new one, you can't travel and at the same time buy a new car so you have to choose one. now you hate on people who can afford a new car thinking they can't do what you do, but infact most of them can do both of what you can't and even more. :bwahaha:
