Brand new car is it better than second hand?

[Jake_noypi]

I'm just wondering if which is better buying a 2nd hand car or a brand new?

with a salary of 30k/month.

Brand new is always better pero 30k/month salary mo? May idea ka na ba kung ano kotse gusto mo at how much of that 30k ba kaya mo i-allocate sa car payments? Ako kasi ginawa ko 2 years to pay pero ubos yan 30k/month sa car payment lang.

Buying a second hand from someone you know who takes real good care of his car would be better.

For one, depreciation is almost none existent. Second, lower price tag.

But frankly, at your current salary, it would be better to commute. Expenses don't stop once you've bought the car. There's maintenance, fuel costs, parking, insurance, etc.

Yun iba ko kakilala nakakuha nga ng brand new but what happens on there monthly obligation, lot of times na hindi makabayad to the poin na mahatak ang sasakyan.goodluck.

buy a new car .... downpayment is as low as 90K

Sorry, but like everyone says, better to take Public fare instead of getting a new car. For sake of discussion, let's say that a car is worth 1M less downpayment of P100,000 = P900,000 is for financing + interest payable in 5 years. At least nasa P15,000k ang babayaran mo every month for the next 5 years. And let's not forget the interest as well.

Getting a 2nd hand car is like the quote from the movie - Forest Gump, "Life is like a box of Chocolates... you never know what you are gonna get". Better if you buy from someone you know who takes care of their car before selling it. Lower price, but no installment payment... unless very good friends kayo.

Also, lets not forget also the cost of maintaining a car, fuel cost, parking cost etc.

Sorry, if this may not be what you want to hear.

Salamat po sa mga payo! Nag tanong lang ako kasi napapa isip ako, ahente po kasi ako ng toyota bicutan which is a very good dealership. Ngayon, meron kasing program na nag bebenta na din kami ng mga 2nd hand and well checked po ng mga maintenance crew ng toyota mismo and only in bicutan pa lang. Aun hindi lang makapag decide kung kukunin ko ba 2nd hand or brand new na vios. Tama pa din ciguro na mag commute,haha! mura lang 2k ang pamasahe/ month.haha!

Salamat!
