Do people discriminate against old cars?

[milo012007]

I think people discriminate iyung sa appearance ng kotse. Actually ako mas bilib pag nakita kong luma iyung kotse pero well maintained. Nakikita ko na talagang car lover iyung mayari at saludo ako sa kanya. Ngayon kung laspag iyung kotse, daming gasgas at bunggo tapos luma, iisipin kong gangster.. hahaha

Sa mga bebot naman, I think it's the same thing. Pero ang nakikita ko naman sa kanila is iyung comfort naman ang habol nila. Kahit luma yan, pero well maintained, malinis, maganda iyung aircon, I don't see any reason bakit hindi sila sasakay.

Chunky, yung pag-bili mo ba sa high-end cars mo. Financing or cash?

yung lexus lang ang financing... pero yung iba fully paid in cash... including my previous cars vios xtrail etc...
walang nakapangalan sakin... pinangalan ko lahat sa mom ko... :D because of my current age and current "BIR" reasons syempre...
pero every peny came from me...

[Monseratto]

Hehehe. Ikaw na bestfriend ko ha. loljk

Pero diba, mas ok kung fully paid. Wala nang iniisip?

Pero syempre kapag fully paid dapat may laman pa rin ang savings account. Hahaha. Kasi baka fully paid nga, 0 bal. naman sa bangko. Eh di may iniisip pa rin. hehehe.

Mas ok nga sakin pag restored ang oto. Para bang blast from the past. Hehehe. And nakakamangha kung iisipin mo kung gaano kadaming effort ang binigay nung owner para maabot yung ganung state.

Lagot ka na Chunky! Sumbong na! :naughty2:

I also paid in full for the Sonata. My family isn't really a fan of installment especially if we can get better deals with cash. The rule is kinda like "kung may pera, buy it na! Kung wala, wait until you can buy it with cash".. we've been taught to be wary of credit.

As for whether I discriminate against older cars, deep down inside, I think I'll answer yes. But I think it's due to the tendency of our old cars to be whacked (aka in need of maintenance) rather than the year of the car itself.

On the otherhand, I'd rather drive our 1998 Toyota Camry versus my mom's 2002 Toyota Altis. Why? Eh yun kotse ng nanay ko may ipis dati sa roofliner eh *trauma*

Discriminate against old cars that are not properly maintained, but revere those cars meticulously preserved.

But some of them undeniably look good.

May naka salubong ako dating fully restored VW Beetle.

Ang kintab, hangang tenga ngiti nung driver ng sumaludo ako sa kanya.

I only discriminate idiot arogant drivers. Sarap pitpitin.

for me....
if your income overflows your "need" its better to pay in full because of the additional savings on the discount...
your "toy fund" should be the last thing you put a piece of pie...
pero mas problem free pag installment kc its counted as a "preventive" measure against the "Gov"

savings vs preventive measures... depends sa gusto nung tao XD pero ako sa savings vote ko hehehe

Kung sa dalawang ito, hindi niyo pa mapansin yung ganda, ewan ko nalang ....

[kevin3000]

for me ok lang na installments as long as kaya mong bayaran pero minsan kasi kami hindi pa tapos hulugan bebenta na.. tapos tsaka babayaran... hirap din kasi bumili minsan ng 2nd hand hindi mo alam history nun tapos mga ilang months at araw may mga problema na... yung pinanghuhulog mo sana sa brand new napupunta sa maintenance.. babayaran namin 40% tapos huhulugan nalang monthly pinapaikot namin yung pera.. after mabayaran yung isa bili ulit para madagdagan hindi naman purket sinabing installment ang bayad sa kotse e mahirap na or nagfefeeling..

People discriminate (specially girls) when it comes to hatid/sundo pag 2 suitor nya. sasakay sya malamang pag yung nanundo sa kanya owns the latest model than the other hehe

Depende siguro sa babae and depende rin sa suitors. Eh kung mas gwapo naman yong lalaki who's driving an older model car? Naalala ko tuloy dati, may ka-rival ako sa nililigawan ko non, nauna pang manligaw sa akin, and he was driving a car, samantalang ako, motorcycle lang, aba eh, sa akin sumasakay yong girl, asawa ko na sya ngayon. hehe!

Iho tumahimik ka.

6 years ko ng client to, hindi lang iisa ang negosyo nito. At matanda na to, na nag simula sa kaka pirangot na Capital.

Yang description swak sa mga anak nya. Porket di sila ang nag hirap, sige lang ng sige tutal may pambili.

I think na sinasabi lang niya kung sobrang yaman ng isang tao, bakit masama ang pag-cash ng isang hamak na kotse...lalo na kung parang candy lang sa kanila yun...if your client is referring to an average joe or a small time buisness owner, its applicable but for extremely rich moguls and mafia lords, a car purchase is nothing...you on the other hand, refers to investments via car purchases en masse, of course it requires loan kasi lugi ka pag i-cash mo, wala kang paiikutin na pera, add depreciation to it and you have an investment nightmare A car is never a good investment in many ways except maybe for safety and convenience and other reasons, anyways, hindi naman masyadong off-topic ito , i find relation to the main topic kasi most people discriminate against old cars and at others the same time discriminate "hulugan" but new cars but since its creating too much tension here, i guess i'll just "shut up"

lets move on

infact, many old models are more visually attractive than its descendants, take this for example

old celica


vs

new celica


old one is better looking and is FR, new models are FF and looks odd(sorry celica owners)

i feel that im also one of those drivers that are being 'discriminated' in a way... not because of an old vehicle.. but a simple bare model van.. sniff.. sniff.. but its ok.. its my 'hard earned' vehicle...

Even if it's bare stock, just keep it detailed clean (no borloloys) and it will look good in the long run (at least to those with a good automotive eye).

anyway, what i like to own is a good sleeper car like this one: Potentially Honda-Techs Best Sleeper - Honda-Tech
