This case should be a lesson learned....when buying a ride be sure to consider the economics of car ownership.
Consider, buying another second hand car will cost you, say 350,000 and added outlay for the insurance, maintenance, etc. Would this amount be sufficient for your fuel allowance on the Mazda 3 for the next several years? For me it doesn't make sense when you maintain 2 vehicles and do not use your brand new car. And lose a lot due to the depreciation value.

I would just stick with your 3 personally. If the gas is too much for you then yes make the exchange but not without additional payment to make it even with your brother. If he does not want to add then sell it outside and use the money to buy your new Jazz.

October 29th, 2008 05:55 PM #35Chery QQ3... I don't know... I'd be wary of resale and suspension issues... if you can afford a better class of car, go for the Hyundai i10... fantastic little machine. Just get a manual... small engines plus AT really don't make for good economy, and it won't be much better than your Mazda3, due to that.
Relative resale value is always higher for the smaller-engined car. Secondhand buyers value fuel efficiency, and are willing to pay a lot for a secondhand.
One interesting secondhand buy... why not a Toyota Vios 1.3? Toyota resale isn't as ridiculously high as Honda, so you might be able to get a bargain. (though the Vios isn't even as roomy as the Honda City... so it's an even bigger downgrade from the Mazda3).
I really wanted the new Honda Jazz i think i could afford it mid next year...i10 AT eats as much as my 3 so i'm taking him out of my "want" list.
