Well, that is indeed a hard decision. The Suzuki Esteem you described is a very tempting choice with its relatively low mileage and good maintenance history, but the SiR is also hard to pass. But remember your boss is still not yet sure if he'll buy a new car next year which means passing the SiR to you sir. Also the SiR price though resale would still be above the Suzuki. Parts aside at least Suzuki still maintains dealership support in the Phils. I would suggest that you get the one most achievable of the two...Suzuki Esteem. :D
