consider having a car mechanic with you when you inspect and test drive the car, for a few bucks it will save you heaps of future problems.

Buhayin ko lang yung thread. Meron bang bumili ng demo car? Mas advisable ba ito kesa sa secondhand na kotse?
Joined: Aug 26, 2018
Hindi ko pa na experience bumili ng demo pero ang advantage ng Demo is lower price ng Brand new at may residual manufacturer's warranty. Secondhand is mura but be prepare kung may kailangan ayusin.

i bought a 2nd hand car, so far, wala naman major issue, normal service fees p lng nagastos ko..
it was an 8yo car..
i suggest, take a mechanic with you when you inspect and test drive. all worth it if you prepare cheaper 2nd hand car.

Kumuha kami ng demo car last Aug 2019 . Pero demo car sya from 2018 Model.
5K lower than the publish price ng brand new(without the add-ons). Ung demo unit namin had 150km mileage lang, naka tint, may floor mats na din and upgraded yung tires. We didn't have to pay for the rego transfer cost.
Yung first car namin we got it from Gumtree 2nd hand from private seller. We paid $150 for a mechanic to go with us to check the car before purchasing. We have it for 5 years na.

i suggest, shop around car dealers near you.. example, if OK na sayu ang sedan, then look for car dealers n malapit sayu like toyota, honda, nissan etc..
then you ask them ano ang best offer nila for a sedan.. i think bibgyan ka nila ng quote.. like how much ang monthly mo, ilang months, any discounts/promo , or if my cash out..
basta dont sound as if bibili kana tlga saknila.. sabihin mo naghahanap ka ng best deal and you are comparing.. very good sila sa pag convince sayu so better dalawa kayo magpunta.
once you have the quotes, compare and choose based sa monthly payments, promos like free service, and long term quality ng car
all the best

@Captain_A maraming salamat! me nakausap na ako sa telepono mag kaibang branch lang sila .medyo nag tataka lang ako sir kasi sa application need mag down pro wala pdn final quote ? kasi paano kami mag pproceed kung bglang pag mag process kami payment sa application form mataas pala ung quote nla ? hndi na refundable ung application fee namen. or else mag downgrade kami ng model ng sskyan kse ung swak lang sa budget namen ung target. wala pa kmi idea paano kumuha ng sskyn dto sa AU ksi sa Pinas kung ano ung monthly payments mo na ssbhin nla bago ka mag proceed una na talaga siya. medyo nagguluhan lang po ako,kasi worry ko baka bigayan nla kmi ng mtaas na interest rate per annum. hndi po ba nla macalculate un bago kami mag down ng money sa application form? sorry mdaming taong wala po tlga kami idea sa pagbli ng ssakyan pa dto. salamat

as fas as i know, pwede ka mag car loan sa bank like nab.. pwede ka din mag car loan mismo sa dealer, kasi meron sila partner na lender..
for me, parang hndi advisable ung may application fee agad wala pa nga details.

ganito ang alam kong process, once alam mo na kotse mo, like example toyota camry or hondo civic or mazda 6, sa car dealer asko mo sila anong best deal nila sa car na yan at kung may in house financing sila, i think they can give you rates
