centrino Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Guys I need your professional opinions on this.... Would you go for KIA PICANTO @ 360K or a second hand CIVIC or LANCER of about the same price? Medyo limited budget kasi. :cool: + for Picanto* Brand New so less trouble with engine (i suppose)* 3 Year warranty* Fuel efficient :grr: - for Picanto* Bad Kia rep*tation* They say the aftersales service is not that good* Small car/ less room :cool: + for 2nd Hand Car* Respectable image* More room / bigger car* Better Resale Value :grr: - for 2nd Hand Car* Possible high maintenance* Possible Engine/Body/Parts problem* May be a gas guzzler I need your opinion especially the car experts. This is going to be my first car so im kind of paranoid :cry: Quote Link to comment

centrino Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Thanks for that bro panday! Any other ideas? Would really appreciate it Quote Link to comment
redshift Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 If its your first car, I would advise getting a second hand one, before going for a brand new ride. 1. At least if gets digned di masyado masakit....:-)2. You can go to other repair shops that already have the experience to fix those models...like they say: mas maraming available support3. Civics and Lancers have a huge market for aftermarket parts...so that you make that second hand car look better than any Korean econobox Quote Link to comment

By the way its going i might opt for a lancer na lang. I'm looking at Lancer '97, i like the pizza pie look Quote Link to comment

This is going to be my first car so im kind of paranoid :cry:<{POST_SNAPBACK}> u know what, try scouting for 2nd hand cars with a buddy of yours..the more your buddy knows about cars,the better it is to sort out what kind of car u want...for starters,go for the 99model cars.basically they are casa maintained,with comp insurance and lady driven...but its not necessary to buy a car from a lady owner..be specially attentive to details..engines,doors,suspension,engine leaks,those stuffs...be sure to pick wisely...a brand new car that is maintenance-free for a year?or a slightly used car that has a resale value bigger than that of the Kia Picanto?your choice buddy...Just concerned about ur money...btw,i'm just new here....Hope this helps....

centrino Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Thanks Rexie! Well that's how it is here sa MTC tulungan, welcome to the club and thanks for your ideas. Actually may downside din lady driven cars, mostly kasi pag lady driven hindi rin masyadong maintained ,maybe because babae nga and they are not so much on the engine maintenance details ... But the thing is hindi rin masyadong bugbog yung makina pag babae may dala... Thanks again for your ideas! :cool: Quote Link to comment
gwapogi Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 based on the looks laki ng improvement ng design ng kia comparing it with their previous rides... but since kalalabas pa lang ng picanto di pa tayo sure kung ok nga.... personally i would go for a second hand car, just make sure you find a very good one... pag naka kuha ka ng matinong second hand ayos na ayos panalo ka... kahit may gastos pa sa maintenance minimal lang mas malaki pa rin yung talo mo sa depreciation... kasi sa brand new una mong talo is yung depreciation less 20-30% agad yun from the value.. say a kia costs 360k less 20% talo ka na agad ng 72k sa depreciation.. with a good second hand car di naman aabot ng ganun kalaki gastos mo<{POST_SNAPBACK}> my two cents on this issue, amigos... ...yes, if this is your first car, go 2nd hand... i agree, ke sumabit man, ke ma-dent or something, di ka gaano hinayang, paano, 2nd hand, di ba??? ...but, if you had enough driving experience before, and you can easily afford a brand new, then go brand new... ...why? 1st: i'd say, kapag brand new, automatic, insured, kasi di papayagan ng bangko na walang insurance kapag naka-financing, ayt? 2nd, top condition and under warranty, basically making the casa liable for anything , and chances are, matagal bago pa masira, unless factory defect...3rd: wouldn't you love the fine finish, the clear plastics and the awfully neat interiors???4th: since ikaw ang unang may-ari, its up to you kung paano mo patatagalin yung buhay nung kotse mo, if di ka naman pabalagbag magmaneho, then, you'd have your ride kahit until 8 yrs sayo... on the picanto part, look, mababa talaga ang resale value nyan. why? e 350K lang sya eh, so, considering 25% of the price and resale nya, that would be roughly 87K... if you buy the vios / jazz / city types, talagang malaki ang resale, kasi within 560K to 700K yang mga yun eh... ...nga lang, syempre, kia will be kia until kia proves otherwise... that really affects resale... the cred itself...

Fahfrd Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Hmm, sasalungat ako sa advice ng ibang MTC bros natin. If it is your first car, I would suggest a brand new one. The Kia Picanto seems ok naman. Why? 1) A brand new car is under warranty, so less hassle for you.Lalo na at dehin ka pa sanay sa auto, baka lalong sumakit ulot mo kapag nasira ang mag parts. 2) A brand new can can be completely insured Meaning, kapag nabangga ka, casa kaagad iyan Just my two cents worth. My first few cars were second and third hand ones. Talangan sumakit ulo ko sa kanila. Quote Link to comment

In addition to the above, I don't think you should get a 2nd hand car unless you have no other options, or you know the person who used to own the car, kse you never know what could be wrong with it...

If you'll do some back reading you'll find a lot of good advices from this thread. Anyhows with that budget medyo marami ka na din choices. You can buy Carfinder magazine for different options or much better if you will visit this site - www.carfinderph.com that's the same as the mag pero mas marami kang choices sa www.buyandsellph.com just go to the transportation/car section... andun lahat ng models and make, that should give you a pretty good idea of the prices ng mga second hand cars. Happy hunting and goodluck to us!!! :cool: Quote Link to comment
