yoz.. thanks for ur help... i browsed sgmat liao.. saw the few ad by direct owner as well... do u think that the black jazz @ $44k is worth to buy? cos i am new to car therefore dun really know how to decide whether does this second hand car worth the price....
-
If u ask me.. i will tell u to get a new car instead wif COE so low now..
U can pay the COE at wat he paid for n thus save ard 15k... -
i am really in a delimma now.... i know that COE price are low but i am worry that 2 or 3 years down the road and i decide to change the working enviroment not into sales line and i need to sell away the car and in the end i will fork up the money to sell away the car like same cases that i read abt from the forum. that y i am thinking of taking up a second hand car rather than a first hand..

Try calculate the monthly instalment for the new car and 2nd hand car. Compare how big the difference is lor. My 2nd hand car instalment is $707,but changed to a new car now. Instalment is now $564.Originally posted by BlurBlur84:i am really in a delimma now.... i know that COE price are low but i am worry that 2 or 3 years down the road and i decide to change the working enviroment not into sales line and i need to sell away the car and in the end i will fork up the money to sell away the car like same cases that i read abt from the forum. that y i am thinking of taking up a second hand car rather than a first hand..
Comparing:
New car:
1) New Road tax absorbed in the car already
2) Low maintenance cost
3) Low monthly instalment
4) Some cars give you free insurance
5) Re-financing. Get some cash back
Biggest worry is whether your job is stable or not. If you lose your job,you will be in deep trouble
Old car:
1) High monthly instalment.
2) Some cars required you to pay road tax
3) Pay insurance yourself
4) Everything is 2nd hand. Soon, you have to change tire,change timing belt,air con no good etc. I experienced this b4. Bought a 2nd hand 2years old Lancer. Wah, i change this change that, ended up paying extra near $2k.
So you have to be careful whether is the 2nd car good or not. Look out for the car's tire. See whether is it going to wear off soon. Test drive the car, see if the brake got any squeee sound. If got squeee sound, dont buy cos the brake rotor may going to spoilt soon. Change rotor + brake pad cost you abt $500 ah -
i think Edminski sums it up pretty nicely..
just to add on tho... if ur getting a 2nd hand car... ur interest rate is even higher than if u get a new car.. which balances it off to a certain extent..
I'm for getting a new car too... would even be better if u can put some downpayment.. ur monthly and interest would be lower.. -

how much will your monthly installment be?Originally posted by BlurBlur84:i am really in a delimma now.... i know that COE price are low but i am worry that 2 or 3 years down the road and i decide to change the working enviroment not into sales line and i need to sell away the car and in the end i will fork up the money to sell away the car like same cases that i read abt from the forum. that y i am thinking of taking up a second hand car rather than a first hand..
If is going to be $1.5k per month, including insurance and road tax, then u can consider renting a car for 2 to 3 years.
New car with less than 1 year only can get at $1.2k to $1.5k per month, including tax, insurance and maintenace.
By doing so, you will not be in debts by the bank for 3 to 10 years -
Dun worry.. once u own a car.. u will find it VERY difficult to live without one.. in sales or not! wahahaaa!!Originally posted by BlurBlur84:i am really in a delimma now.... i know that COE price are low but i am worry that 2 or 3 years down the road and i decide to change the working enviroment not into sales line and i need to sell away the car and in the end i will fork up the money to sell away the car like same cases that i read abt from the forum. that y i am thinking of taking up a second hand car rather than a first hand..
Only worry is that u may want to UPGRADE from jazz.. den your concerns are valid. Cheers! -

what the diff bwt Jazz & Fit ?
Does it justify as its so expensive as only 1.4 ? compared price can get 1.6 cars of other brand -
Thanks Edminski for comparision...... do u know the interest rate for second hand car now? i under that second hand car do have their cons but my main worries for first hand car will be the selling away issues when i decide to sell away due to change of job...Originally posted by Edminski:Try calculate the monthly instalment for the new car and 2nd hand car.

u owning a jazz now? -
hey guys... need ur advise...
i am looking at first hand VIOS... with the current price ard 52K... with a downpayment of ard 8k -10k... and a loan period of 10 years and if 3 years down the road i decide to sell away do u think that i need to fork out money to sell away the car? likewise the same suitation for jazz... ur help & advise is really appreciated!!! -
2 weeks ago i heard first hand vios is about 42-45k? depending on transmission... how up 10k? sure anot..
anyway... depending on the amount u wanna give monthly.. try to get as short a loan term as possible.. 1st u pay 3 years... more likely u can get some $ back if u sell it or scrap it then.. 2nd u pay less interest overall..
oni thing bad is will be quite siong monthly la.. as u would be paying more per month to shorten the loan term.. -
yes,if 3years down the road you decided to sell away,definitely you need to fork out a few thousandsOriginally posted by BlurBlur84:hey guys... need ur advise...

If new Jazz, you need to fork out more,becos you loan more
However,if you buy 2nd hand Vios or Jazz,3years later most likely you dont need to fork out money to sell the car
(Previously i bought 2nd hand Lancer. Drove for about 1.6mths, sold it, fork out abt $3k. Took 100% loan that time)
I am driving new Sunny now.
Remember ah,buy new car, the feeling is SUPER great.
Buy 2nd hand car,you dont feel so nice.
Most importantly is you must feel good with the car.
Guess you are in Sales line, so Jazz and Vios is good choice. But if between these 2, get Vios lor cos of budget. You are still young, when you get older than consider bigger cars when you have more $
Why not try to test drive new Vios and 2nd hand Vios? -
edminski i think u forgot his main concern for the car which is what will happen if he sell in 2-3 yrs time which means depreciation should be the main factor. and 2nd hand car depreciation will be lower and also since paper value is higher for older cars he will not lose as much as the price he buy the 2nd car wil be near to paper value den a new car.
as to blurblur84. if u wan get new car my advise is not to get 10yr loan. an alternative will be to put slightly less downpayment and take a 6yr loan. use the spare cash to pay off ur higher installment for shorter period and u will pay less interest. den if u sell 2-3yrs time should not be a prob. but of cuz it still depends on market forces. -
i think u forgot the most impt point. why dun u calculate if u drive both ur cars for 1.6yrs which one will lose more money...Originally posted by Edminski:Try calculate the monthly instalment for the new car and 2nd hand car.

New car:
1) New Road tax absorbed in the car already ( for 6mths? old cars usually have road tax left too)
2) Low maintenance cost ( both car cost should be the same. just that u need to overhaul the 2nd hand car once straight after u get it estimate abt $1k max)
3) Low monthly instalment ( low instalment but longer loan period)
4) Some cars give you free insurance ( for a year only)
5) Re-financing. Get some cash back ( u already lose out in Rule 78. wun save in fact u lose more if loan not substantial enough)
2nd hand cars r good for drivers who wish to change cars every few years. 1st hand car is good if the driver wants to keep it for long. but usually if u keep a car for long problems will also start coming from the car which brings u back to square 1 actually.
Not many people can afford to lose 20k - 30k every few years just to change from 1 new car to the other.
