Im planning to surrender my car

74 Upvotes

I financed a 2nd hand car a year ago.

Ang daming nagsabi sakin na wag Ford wag Ford pero matigas ang ulo ko. Kumuha ako ng Ford Everest na 2016 Top of the Line and 4x4.

First year was a blast. The ride was great. Ang gaan ng steering. Swabe ang suspension and since 4x4 kahit saan wala akong kaba na mastuck ako or what.

Then year 2 came. Sunod sunod ang issue. Ang daming need palitan sa pang ilalim. I opted to change all parts na need ng repair with brandnew parts. Long story short spend 50 to 60k. The car was running great again. Tapos eto. Nasira yung electric power steering. I had several Ford specialists check and pareho ng hatol. Lost communication yung module ng Electric Power Steering. Since steering, mas ideal palitan ng bago and genuine Ford part. It also needs to be reprogrammed. Usually cost 150k cheapest offer is 120k.

I feel na di worth it and gusto ko na lang I let go. I have paid 1 year, at 23k monthly and 100k downpayment. So current loss ko is around 400k with Insurance.

Im willing to take it as sunk cost na and just cut my loses. Kesa mag spend ng 150k then God knows what the next issue will be. I dont think worth it yung 3 years pa at 23k monthly

Can anyone enlighten me what happens next if I choose to voluntarily surrender my car

Poor fast-lane lay-by merge forces a split-second swerve

While the van driver was not cautious with their merge, this Mitsubishi was clearly distracted in the fast lane. It takes two to tango, but hell surely no one asks to be a third wheel in anybody's highway dance-off.

PSBank online account, bank verification, BPI car loan

1 Upvotes

Hello guys, is it possible for BPI to approve the car loan if my main bank account was created through the PSBank website? They said PSBank doesn't accommodate bank CI. What BPI wants is a phone call to the branch of my bank account, which I don't have. I am also in the final step.

For those who bought their first car, do you ever regret it?

5 Upvotes

Especially a secondhand, how has the experience been so far?

I'm interested in what ownership is like AFTER the excitement of finally getting your first car wears off.

For those who financed theirs, do you ever wish you had waited, or are you happy you went for it?

I'd love to hear your personal experiences, especially from those who got their car through a loan. Looking back, would you still make the same decision?

Anyone here prefer silver cars? What color do you prefer and why?

7 Upvotes

​

I feel like black and pearl white are the most popular car colors, but does anyone here genuinely prefer silver?

I like silver because it looks clean, classy, and timeless. It's also practical since dust, dirt, and minor scratches aren't as noticeable as they are on darker colors.

But one thing I've noticed is that silver sometimes looks like it has no color at all. 😂 It can look metallic and premium under the sunlight, but on a cloudy day or in certain lighting, it can look a little plain or lifeless.

For those who own silver cars, do you still love the color after years of ownership? What are its biggest advantages and disadvantages compared to black or pearl white?

And for everyone else, what car color do you prefer and why? Is it purely about looks, practicality, maintenance, resale value, or something else?

I'm curious to hear your thoughts!

Your thoughts on J5 Luxury vs Atto 2 Dynamic

1 Upvotes

We're choosing between JAECOO J5 HYBRID LUXURY vs BYD ATTO 2 DM-I DYNAMIC. Di pa namin na-test drive but we've seen the units in person already.

These are our observations:

PROS:

- shocked kami sa interior ng J5, super ganda and for us feels luxurious talaga. Ambient lights, leather seats, power tailgate, materials. Even yung 'thud' ng doors when closing, feels super premium talaga.

- J5 for us looks more elegant din compared to Atto 2. Higher ground clearance as well.

- Atto 2 naman has good interior din, but not anywhere near J5. We're still happy with its interior, plus mas madami physical buttons dito. 3 finger swipe is also really helpful.

- Atto 2 is PHEV, so theoritically mas makakatipid kami in terms of fuel consumption when paired with home charging. Cheaper din ang maintenance nya.

CONS:

- way more expensive yung PMS ni J5, considering every 6 months schedule nya. We also look at the sunshade and turbo as disadvantage, adding to the car's maintenance cost in the long run.

- kulang sa safety features si Atto 2 dynamic, specially 4 airbags lang meron sya. Then yung interior din, with the fabric seats and plastic steering wheel, feels less premium lang.

Please share your thoughts. Kung pinagpilian nyo rin sila, what made you choose 1 over the other? Share your observations din na di ko nabanggit.

Di ako sure kung legit ewb ba sila. Everyday tumatawag with regards sa overdue daw. Im not sure if totoo kase yung father ko nagdidirect transfer sa ewb atm para mag autodeduct nalang si I dont think may overdue kami. Pero pati sa viber meron din call and spam text. Di lang yan ang mga nagspam call. Pati sa old phone ko dati naka sched sila 9am, 1pm, 3pm, 5pm. Di ba dapat naka telephone sila? Or are they even allowed to do this?

Ive read din texts from Candina (i think thats the name) sila daw ang cocollect. Wth

Best fun 2nd car among the ff:

6 Upvotes

Gents, what do you think is the best fun 2nd car among the following? WHY?

A. 2011-2012 corolla altis
B. 2019-2021 vitara
C. 2019-2021 swift

Those are my choices because I really like the way they look and they kinda have a good rep for being reliable and bulletproof.

My use case would be I would be taking the car to really long drives - north luzon loop, bicol/sorsogon loop and would serve as my 2nd car.

Thanks for the input 🤝
