    Why are there people who are fond of changing their cars from one model to another? Is it just a habbit? Can u call them car lover? or simply they have the privilege to change their cars to have the satisfaction of having a ride on a car they dream to drive...

    Cars are consumer goods and they have planned obsolesence built into them. That's why the product cycle of a vehicle is typically 4 years (the L300 Versa Van's almost 20 year existence in the local market is more of an exception).

    Some people who buy a car already have a set time table in their mind when they will replace it. My mom's friend sells the vehicle as soon as it reaches the 5 year old mark. No, she's not an enthusiast. She sells them because she is afraid the car might start to have problems soon.

    Most enthusiasts who do work on their own cars are not that easy to separate from their machines.

    Ganun naman talaga ang life span ng mga tsikot, 4-5 years. After that, puro problema na, kahit na gaano ka kaalaga. Para bagang age also catches up with cars. Sa Japan nga raw after a certain number of years mas mahal na di hamak ang registration ng sasakyan, so parang ineengganyo nilang magpalit na lang ng bago yung mga tao. Lately nga, mas maaga na lumalabas ang mga sakit ng mga tsikot. Parang bumaba na rin ang quality ng mga auto ngayon, mapa-Japanese, European o American man. Yung mga Korean surprisingly ang nag-iimprove ang gawa.

    Kung may kakayahan ka naman magpalit ng auto after each model cycle, why not di ba?

    Some buy cars without test driving. Saka lang nila malalaman na hindi pala nila gusto...

    [special mention dito ang Fortuner at Patrol ]

    sila ang type of person whom you like to buy your used car with...

    at least di mo mashoshoulder ang biggest depreciation ng kotse, and having a almost brand-new ride...

    sila yung tipong fashion item lang ang kotse at electronic items... pag di na "in" or may mas bago...benta agad...
