free4ever,Originally posted by free4ever:2nd hand - 2nd hand or 1st hand will depends on how long do you intend to drive the car for. No doubt now 1st hand car are cheap and less problems maintaining, the problem comes if you want to sell after 1 or 2 years as you will lose a lot. Be prepared to drive for at least 4-5 years.
On the other hand, 2nd hand car requires more maintanance and fc is slightly higher...
Hope that helps...![]()
Aiyoh, of course 2nd hand cars are cheaper. Else, who will buy them?Originally posted by wsoon:free4ever,
I thought 2nd hand car is cheaper as the depreciation is lower or am I overlooking something?
Just to add:=
The intangible advantage of 1st hand car is the good smell of a new car, peace of mind warranty from dealers and the feeling of not owning a 2nd hand stuff.
I guess, as usually, we need some info first.Originally posted by PAyTon:Hi guys, i am new in this forum. I just got my class 3 licence and i need some guide.

2nd hand car is cheaper in purchase price but does not mean that depreciation is always lower. While it is 90% true, there is still the remaining 10%Originally posted by wsoon:free4ever,

I think i won't be driving the car for long as this is my first car.Originally posted by wbucket:I guess, as usually, we need some info first.
1. Your budget, both how much can you downpay and the monthly installment you willing to afford.
2. Are you the 1-2 years change car type, or the loyal drive til it die kind.
Sedan, Vios.
Hatchback, Getz 1.6.
Super cheap, Kelisa
If you are not going to drive it for long, then advice is go for second-hand cars. The first owner had suffered the frist drops for you, meaning the super drop in value the moment you get the new car.Originally posted by PAyTon:I think i won't be driving the car for long as this is my first car.
I can fork out 5-8k for downpayment.
As for monthly can 600-800 settle everything inculding road tax, petrol, installment,season parking for an OP car?
