Thinking of getting a car and have $30K to spare.

Been sourcing and quite vexed. Need Edmwer car sexperts advice.

Is it better to get a brand new $100K+ Certato with $30K downpayment and then mthly installment of $1K for 7 yrs
OR
get a used Certato (yr 2011 - 2012 5yr COE car) with 4 to 5yrs COE left with $30K cash without any loan ?
Get Toyota la. You spend so much money and drive around in a kia. Wan lan eh.

If you are one of those got licence but never drive before kind then better to go used car because pretty high rate u will bua the car.

I not cursing ah. Is like that one, inexperience and suddenly you are handling a 100k object sure panic like siaoz. Especially during parking.

None, I suggest top up a bit buy a 2012 Altis which has been renewed for 10 years, depreciation around 6.5k a year. That model is a workhorse, once sat in one 2012 Altis PHV 870k km on odo, feels as smooth as a new car.

why not an old Avante if you are looking at COE cars? a lot of renewals for the Avante, some said its built like the old Altis
