With the advent of import car closure and consequently possible reduction in aftermarket part sales reduction. It may become important for you to consider a local vehicle for yourself/ business. (Thread)

Most choose imports because of the relative affordability:

•P22k for Honda Fit
•P35k RunX
•P30k Avensis...

However most times you end up spending unplanned for
• Radiators
• Front end suspension

Which may leave you financially burdened.

But truth is, getting local vehicle vehicle financing isn’t all that difficult if you tick all the right boxes.

a) For Individuals:

For businesses:

A 2017 VW Polo will set you back P19,000 deposit with a P1,634 installment monthly excluding insurance.

I drove a 5 year polo for 5 years (10 years when I sold it). Never spend exhorbitantly on repairs or service.

Or a 2019 Polo Vivo for a P11,500 deposit with a monthly installment of P2,225 for 5 years.

Or a Toyota Yaris P28,000 deposit with a P2,407 installment excluding insurance.

My cousins still drives his 2005 Yaris today. Never complains about repairs. And it drives like a song.
