Mike wanted so much to have a car of his own. But right now we can only afford a second hand one. He could’ve bought Granny’s car a couple of months back, but the Granny still hasn’t bought a replacement, and maybe still thinks that Mike shouldn’t drive one because of his eye condition.
I talked with a friend and said there’s a BMW being sold for only 300k Php. And yeah, you guessed it, it was drenched in muddy water because of Ondoy Typhoon. Our friend said you can still fix it (if you’re that good) and still can be sold for 700k Php. Mike’s budget for a car is only 200k Php anyway. There are many good deals out there for that price, we just need to look for them.
I already have my student’s license. I’m only waiting for the car so I can start learning how to drive. Mike’s Uncle will be the one to teach me which I’ll be paying with snack. Hmm… I think that would cost less than enrolling to A1 Driving school which cost Php 14,000 for beginners. (Well, of course, the only problem we’ll have is insurance). So, gawd help me. hehehe. That’s also the reason why Mike opts to buy a second hand one, so it’s not that painful when I hit the car. LOL
CLS 550
Else, we can just have our car overhauled. I hope job design body kit has a normal car kits counterpart so our second hand model car will still look “vavavroom”.

my dad is driving a second hand car, it is Suzuki and very slow when drive it.
Oh. maybe it depends on the type of car. I don’t really know about cars. Well at least you know how to drive one. ^^
my friend got a second car 5 years old and later 3 years cannot use any more even change engine.
its honda car.
second hand is good, but yes you just have to hit the best deal. my first car was pre-loved and it was perfect..so I never understood why I agreed to sell my Bugi, tsk tsk.
Anyway, I never enjoyed driving (been driving since 2001), it can get really stressful..especially on EDSA even on weekends! And ever since I gave birth to my Klaire, I try to wiggle out every chance I get hehehe (kasi takot akong maaksidente at uminit ulo lagi :p)
waah! bakit? ano po ung Bugi? name ng car mo? huhu. sad naman ako. My dad bought second hand van before. and he had to sell it kc wala na kaming pera. ahaha! I was in High school then, I had to say goodbye to the van. as in I literally talked to the van. hehe.
yeah, goodluck magdrive sa EDSA kung driving nga talaga ang tawag dun. andar, hinto, andar, hinto. try mo kaya mag drive dito sa Commonwealth, baka naman maloka ka sa mga reckless drivers. hihi.
naku, kaya nga takot din akong mag-drive eh kase magugulatin ako. waah!
oh yeah if you want buy second hand car need to find out the previous owner of car if he/she take care of the car.
Yes, you’re right. You have to make a background check first and inspect it thoroughly. Otherwise you’ll end up spending more.
yeah I think my dad not service car often too and he told me if no use no need service
if we cannot afford new one then second hand is the one to choose. I hope I can get new car as mine problem now.
Wah, I want to have my own car too. Can you help me find good deals as well? Haha. Please update me in your quest to find another car.
Sure, Liezl. If ever I find good deals, that is. We are thinking of getting from the bank (car loan) or through buy and sell… hmm..
second hand car would be good for beginners, as long as the second hard owner is someone you know and trust…
yes, mommy. sana nga makakuha kame ng good deal. kaya nga gusto sana namin ung car ni Granny kase alam na namin ang history nun. ^^
o di yun na lang . para makadiscount din kayo. ahehe..
ayaw nga ibenta sakin
ilang beses ko na inaabot pera ayaw tanggapin…
hmmm… parang I can super relate to your post…
pero buti nalang di pa ako nakabili…sigurado nadale din yun ni ondoy..
our BMW is a second hand one too! and it tip top condition that we drove it all the way to rome. wala kaming naging problema. pero marami naman kasing BMW na second hand dito sa germany. hehe!
good luck in your decision mommy fedhz! hope you will be able to choose a good one. sana di kayo lokohin ng car dealer. because some do it just so they could sell.
siguro nga for you it will still be wiser to have a second hand car, mabangga mo man, di masakit sa loob ni mike haha… pede naman kay mambarat ng mga kotseng pinaliguan ni Ondoy hehe
