The monthly installment on that would be $1,900. In other words, you can be making $5,000. gross monthly income and permanent employed for 2 years and get a brand new $150,000. vehicle.
Furthermore local stealerships dont like to honour warranty so that is a waste of time. OP ask yourself if you really need to change your car in these hard times. Is the tradeoff between what you paying for gas/maintenance and the new car loan plus gas/maintenance worth the 8 year expenseProtonPowder wrote:Dont fall for the traps:
-Deferred payments (allows interest to accrue on the full principal for months causing a larger total repayment).
-Rolling insurance into your car payment (more interest)
-Only studying monthly payments and missing the huge expense of dealership maintenance
-Only studying payments and not the overall financial picture: Is a Suzuki Swift or Dzire actually worth that amount?
OP you should really try a used vehicle, and give it the proper due diligence before buying, with that budget you losing too much to depreciation and not getting much car out of it.

Do the math on fuel savings per year vs purchase price and financing on a hybrid and you'll see the maths not mathsing

I'm actually in full agreement on this. Currently considering selling my wife's aqua and buying a gas vehicle. If you go through the fb aqua group, the amount of problems coming up with these cars and the cost of fix, it is not worth it. Imagine you buy an aqua and a year later you have to buy a hybrid battery for 14000. I have my tiida 10 yrs now and never spend that amount of money in one repair. The money u saving in gas doesn't begin to offset the cost you are going to experience within 1 or 2 years of owning an aqua

Correct, but also it is the dealers to blame who bring vehicles with a rolled back mileage. In 2020 my friend bought a 2016 aqua with mileage of 20xxx. When I paid for the report from Japan, the actual mileage was 140xxx. So he had to do an immediate total service on the car. The battery test on the hybrid battery showed at 69% as well.
It is also recommended to do an annual battery recondition which people charging minimum $1000 to do which is supposed to extend the lifespan of your battery.
Did exactly this 5 years ago. Just consumables. Of course I check my battery regularly, no problems whatever. I drive conservatively, so still using the same OEM brake pads with 50% life left. I can drive about 2-3 km on battery power alone up to about 70kph. Based on the reading, I have done about 36% of my mileage on battery power. I think people rush into the hybrid scene without much research. Hybrid is better for city driving, start/stop and shorter runs rather than highway runs. Bear in mind, the launch with battery and engine will surprise many.Phone Surgeon wrote:Yuh hadda remember that most dealers buying the cheapest of the cheap to import for profit.
Try to import your own and pick something nice.
Even if you pay buy usd 7.5 or 8 to get it then do it. I like how that sienta looking. Seeing 2019 for 11 to 13k usd.
