Top Reasons to buy a Second Car

[slapz]

Hi Guys,

I would just like to get your opinions or reasoning in buying a second car. What made you buy a second car?

We are contemplating on getting a second car ourselves. But I would just like to hear some "experienced" opinions on the matter, if it actually makes sense in getting one.

Thanks!

Extra car lang, para if ever your main car breaks down, is coding or something happens and deemed it unusable. Meron ako 2nd hand bought car, isa pang Vios. 2006. It was offered by a friend of mine at a price I couldnt resist, so I bought it. So far no problems, but I dont use it much. I prefer to use my main car talaga

Pero honestly, if youre gonna buy it from an unknown person, medyo risky. Especially with all the flodding we had.

Kung brand new naman, sayang lang if it's just gonna be an extra...

1. color coding

2. spare for when your primary car is not available (breaks down, used by other members of the family). There's no price for peace of mind.

3. pang harabas for when you love your primary car too much to bring to places where it is at risk of getting scratched or baked under the heat of the sun.

Well, we don't have color coding here in Pampanga.

It won't be a spare if the primary car broke down, as we can always borrow from other family members.

The third one is possible, but we are eyeing a brand new one, so pang harabas is also not one on the list.

Well, our reasons is that, I want a fuel efficient car, because sa office and school, kikita ka pa din, kahit na malaki sasakyan mo or maliit. Then there is the wife, she can also drive, and medyo nagkakaproblem kapag wala ako, at gusto nilang umalis ng mga bata.

you think those are enough reasons?

If you have enough money to spare, if you don't need to take a loan and can pay for your secondary car in cash then go for it. It'll give your wife more flexibility in moving around.

well, if you can afford it then get one. it's nice to have a second car with all the reasons mentioned above.

also, a good reason to get a second car is - if you need it for a specific application i.e. off roading, hauling, resing resing etc.

If you have the money or can "afford" it, you won't actually have a dilemma in getting a second car, right?

Then don't buy a secondary car. It does not make sense to make an unnecessary purchase that will only put a strain on your resources/financials.

[slapz]

Some people would be able to afford something with the help of other parties, like say, banks.

That's why there is the issue. Cost and Benefit, and as you've said, unnecessary purchase, so when would that be a necessary purchase?
