huoye SG 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... 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.
mr sunray SG Is jazz made in japan or thailand? Someone from other car forum said it's made in thailand but if I'm not wrong, I remember it's made in japan. Correct me if I'm wrong.
BlurBlur84 SG yoz guys… thanks for all ur comments and advise.. i think i will get a second hand jazz as i am not really stable in sales yet… so 2-3 years will be great for me.. most impt is that dun want to fork up money to sell away the car… so now trying to source for jazz that are in good condition… hopefully will not make the wrong decision…
