How important is a parking space at home

[akosila]

I am planning to get my FIRST car ever. however, there seems to be a problem... PARKING SPACE at home.

I am only renting my apartment with some of my friends and sobrang tipid pag share sa rent including bills etc.

My problem is wala kaming parking space sa apartment, and I am trying to look for an apartment with parking space pero masyadong mahal and mahirap maghanap.

A 1BR + Parking will cost around 10k. wala pang bills at wala pa akong kahati if ever.

I would just like to hear some tips from you guys.

Do you have parking space at home? if none, san kayo nagpapark?

Will I pursue my plans in getting a car and a new apartment?

[uls]

sobra tipid sa rent and bills etc pero bibili ng car?

anyway... everybody parks sa street diba?

try to look if there's an available parking lot/space near your apartment vicinity that could be an option.

wait you're planning to get a new car but can't afford a new place? no offense but better get your priority straight, a place of your own is much better than a new car. and honestly they should make a law that only allows you to own as much car as you can fit in your garage or parking space. i'm seriously getting tired of cars parked in streets that make it pretty hard to maneuver through.

This is my dilemma sir, I can afford both pero both have their pros and cons.

If I stay in my apartment = tipid pero hassle sa commute

If I look for an apartment = dagdag konti sa budget pero traffic nalang pproblemahin ko.
kaya im considering na maghanap ng apartment with parking kasi ayaw ko magpark sa streets.

sir mas makakatipid ako pag nagstay ako sa apartment ko ngayon.


I am just asking for advice mga sir.. peace tayo ><

Brand new car then you'll just park it on the street? parang hindi ko ata kaya yun.

my ride is almost 7 years still wala ako peace of mind pag sa labas lang nakaparada.

but its just me. your choice.

kahit siguro 2nd hand, ayaw ko ipark sa kalsada sir. maraming lasheng at masasama ang loob sa kalsada (no offense) pero yung car ng friend ko, kumain lang sa jollibee, naguhitan agad yung side nya, pano pa kaya pag sa kalsada lang

Sir,bad elements on the street should not be your only concern when you park,think of the discomfort it can do to others,lalo na pag masikip kalsada,pano kung may emergency,think about it,just my 2cents

ayaw nga daw niya mag park sa kalye kaso mahal ang apartment na may parking

[Retz]

either you park at side street or find a parking space near your area, i guess that will be your only options.

No parking? Don't get a car muna dude. You can also look for an apartment nearer to your place of work instead para tipid sa time and commute.

Try also to search your area for a homeowner or establishment that is willing to rent out a spot for you to park on.

why not get a place with parking near where you work? that's what i did when i came back to the philippines, i couldn't afford both yet so i got a condo at p.tuazon cubao since our office was near nepa q-mart and had my parking rented while i didn't have a car, walked daily i think that was 2-3km. then got a car after 2 years. i could've stayed at my lola/lolo's house since that's where i lived for a couple of months while i was fixing my condo and they didn't mind if i stayed there longer since they had a 4 bedroom house and no lives with them. i was 21 back then my friends told me i was stupid for not buying a car instead but i wanted a place of my own where no one can tell me what to do or don't get mad when i go home late, i can have friends over any time i want, walk around the house naked and best of all bring girls home and do it on all sides of the house. till this day those guys who told me to get a car instead are living with their parents and in their late 20's and early 30's but hey atleast they own a car right.:bwahaha:

Get your own pad and do what foresterx did. "best of all bring girls home and do it on all sides of the house."
Tsaka na muna ang car. nuffsaid

[vinj]

BTW, if you get a car, malamang lahat ng roomies mo makiki-ride at makiki-gamit pa. Bad trip yun.

mas okay car muna. may sogo naman eh. if you're going to fool around better not do it at your own house, at least paghinabol ka ng babae hindi alam san ka nakatira hehe

hanap ka na lang ng apartment na malapit sa work mo tipid ka na sa maintenance ng sasakyan, tipid ka pa sa oras.

In Hong Kong, the authorities won't allow purchase of a car without showing title to a parking slot. In Singapore, parking is via parking fee coupons for HDB flats, hefty fine for those cars without valid parking coupon. In both countries, car prices are sky high, precisely to keep numbers in tight control. Singapore does it via public bidding for "Certificate of Entitlement" or COE to buy a car. I think we should have both: require parking or government provided parking but with parking fees and hike car registration fees to include COE type fee. But government must improve public transport first.

Some banks visit the loan applicant's house to check for parking spaces. Lack of one might mean higher interest rates or outright disapproval.

[bmacavanza]

Agree mate.

Singapore is the best example
