Warning
May 25, 2008I assume that you are financially able at the time of reading. Otherwise, this warning will be useless. If you are planning to buy a vehicle, and a second hand at that, be very careful. There is nothing wrong with used cars. This year’s car models are available in second hand car shops for a whole lot cheaper price. At a glance, these cars can be mistaken for brand new; heck, they might even seem newer than your car(if you have one)! So what’s wrong with second hand cars? It’s not the car per se, but the dealers.
An acquaintance has found themselves in quite a predicament after cops confiscated their 2007 model car. Four months after purchasing for half a million peso (ka-ching!), men in blue seized the unit as carnapped vehicle; its original owner brutally murdered. My friends found themselves in jail and fortunately go out with bail. Total expenditure for the legal process? P50,000. So what happened to the dealer of the car? Two days ago, in the local daily, the dealer has been bagged. But the question is: What happened to their money? More than half a million peso was gone with the Philippine justice and crime process. Until today, they are “pursuing” the said crook. The act itself is considered futile in our setting.
Moral? If you want to buy cars, buy it brand new. If you’re short on dough and need wheels bad, do your homework well and research the legality of your nominated dealer.
