1. wag mo ibenta. lugi ka dyan. mahirap humanap ng "assume balance." baka baratin ka pa. pati ang trade-in value nyan, siguradong babaratin ka.
2. to save on costs, use the car sparingly. commute muna. warm-up na lang muna ng lancer sa umaga. tipid na sa fuel, tipid pa sa maintenance, tipid pa sa parking. i-treasure mo ng maigi ang regalo ng parents mo sa iyo. may sentimental value yang sasakyan. that's a keepr.
3. getting a 2nd hand car isn't going to be any easier. baka mas malaki pa gastusin mo sa repairs compared to your brand new car. lalo na since you say you're a noob with cars.

honestly, if my kid tells me he's going to sell the car i gave him as a gift, sasama loob ko. pinagipunan ng parents mo ang regalo nila sa iyo. treasure it. i'm sure they're very proud of you for passing the boards kaya niregaluhan ka. wag mo ibenta.

I decided not to open up this matter to my parents anymore, thus I will keep my lancer na lang mga boss.

yan ang tama.. appreciate mo yung binigay sayo ng magulang mo... swerte ka kasi hindi lahat ng magulang kayang magbigay ng sasakyan sa anak nila...

ang gawin mo mag commute ka na lang papasok sa work mo para makatipid ka sa fuel... tapos tigil tigilan mo muna ang pag gimik kung saan saan... galingan mo sa work mo para lumaki sweldo mo para may pang gas ka na...

solve

TS : Is this the first car you actually own? ( i'll just assume this is your first )

Having a 2.0L engine for a starter car is too much. I had the chance to choose between cars when I bought my lancer glx around 08; and had also the chance to test drive the ex... and my that was a very convincing test drive to just pay the full price of the glx as downpayment for the ex... but common sense kicked in... better drive a car that I can afford daily than get something ma porma ( coming from a job that my company pays for the maintenance and gas )

If i were you get sir roydok's advice. Sayang din maybe later on you can have a side income or find a better paying job that can support what you need.

For the insurance part; if loaned - you wont have any choice... the bank will have its way

Correct. Be thankful for your loving parents

To TS, it's a brave decision to get the Lancer EX. Sayang nag antay ka sana konti, mas mura na kasi ngayon Lancer EX at may 1.6L na. Part of the reason 2 years ago, na ayaw ng ermats ko kumuha kami Mazda 3 S kasi malakas daw sa gas mamumulubi ako sa gas, buti na lang Vios AT ang binili nila. I insisted Mazda 3 na lang dahil mag ka presyo sila then but mom won. I guess, moms really knows best hehehe ;)

Tips, you can get insurance na staggard payments. Pero, I think 6 months max lang yun, if really may 12 months if 0% pa din. Go na! hehehe If the car is fully paid, comprehensive is not mandatory.

PMS? I do my PMS outside casa. My warranty? Yes, void na. Pero I still have my car and thankfully, it is a model na kabisado ng mga mekaniko kahit naka pikit at kabisado ng mga tao sa banawe ang pyesa kahit mga tulog hahaha (Vios) So far, so good.

Do carpool. Sa mga officemate mo, could help you on gas expenses. Or use your car sparingly na lang if carpool isn't very effective for you and have your parents enjoy the car too.

Swerte mo naman sa parents sir, hehe. How I wish kaya din ako bigyan ng "pating" ng tatay kong karpintero, hehe.

Ako kahit na kaya ko bayaran yung fuel expense at insurance, ibebenta ko pa rin. As if naman yan lang iisipin mo -- yearly registration, PMS etc. pa! Hindi naman biro yung ganyan diba.

Oo nababayaran mo nga pero may natitira pa ba sayo? Baka mamaya iilang libo nalang savings mo.

Kung ako sayo, open up mo yan sa parents mo. Kapag nag-offer sila na tutulungan ka, politely say NO! Pakita mo sakanila kaya mo tumayo sa sarili mong mga paa. Sell the EX, get a brand new Eon instead.

So what kung nag-downgrade ka. Wag mo pakielaman mga sasabihin ng kaibigan mo, buhay mo yan eh. F*ck all the haters. Pag naka-Eon ka sure yan dami mong savings at the end of the month. Magkano lang ba maintenance niyan, insurance at fuel expense. Naku. Matutuwa ka na kumakapal wallet mo.

AT! Right after mo maka-ipon, bigyan mo naman parents mo. Yung dapat na pinang-gasolina mo sa EX, ibigay mo sa magulang mo. Kita mo tuwang tuwa yan.

Mas ok na sakin mag-downgrade pero naka-brand new na Eon araw araw ko ginagamit kaysa naman may naka-tambak nga na magandang kotse sa bahay pero hinde mo naman nagagamit dahil wala ka panggas at nagccommute ka lang.

Hassle kaya mag-commute

oo nga napakaswerte mo naman! ako nung araw bike lang kayang ibigay sakin ng parents ko eh.. tama yung ingatan mo na lang at pahalagahan mo yung bagay na binigay sayo ng magulang mo.. gamitin mo na lang yung oto mo kung may mga okasyon kang pupuntahan sa panahon ngayon dapat maging praktikal na tayo sa mahal ng presyo ng gas..
