u rell studying what other ppl spending their $ on while dem doh even know u existEFFECTIC DESIGNS wrote:eliteauto wrote:ED you always know what to buy....... but when you actually going to buy?
I have a PAY 101 corolla a while now. No issues whatsoever and it was made in 1992, gives less problems than most of these new model vehicles and maintenance is near non existent, the vehicle is built so simple that I do most of the mechanic work on it myself with the help of youtube, all my extra earnings from overtime I putting it towards building a house that I want to rent out. To me I found this pathway to be better than buying a new vehicle and forever paying the bank.
Next vehicle has to be a Diesel Hilux a TCA or something that I would like to have until I die. Not because of fuel economy but because of Diesel Reliability and superior torque which is inherent in Diesel
I am just pointing out something, one has to be well informed and smart about buying a vehicle, not run down something just to have the latest license plate. If money is the issue learn to cook food home, ban your belly and buy something cash so the bank doesn't own you.
Let us get a better perspective of this let us compare
$125K for this which will mash up the first pothole it hits or have to be dumped in 7 years with 0 resale value or will float away when rain falls in POS
Or $76K NEGOTIABLE for this Hilux which is DIESEL and a purchase for life that you will eventually hand down to your children and grand children.
Yeah me thinks the Hilux is the way to go.

yes, still a loss, and the resale might simply have to write off, but still, might work out to be a better operational cost than the alternatives.
it woudl have been better for it to be fully electric though.

btw, while on this trend of thought, are there any fully electric vehicles in trinidad?

yeah, saw a tesla model X sometime

Is a very common sentiment.

plenty people would not qualify for 100% financing for 5 years on roro but they will qualify for it on a new car for 7/8 years so them aint studying wah kinda car it is once they gt
kinda like the posters here crying down this car but bank still owning their pos cerato/corolla/jetta/crossover
Eh...
I rather save that money ban my belly and buy a TCZ Hilux for $90K than this crap for 125K
The Hilux is LIFETIME, this crap is buy and dump after 7 years.
Hilux is Diesel Engine which means insane reliability, no need coil pack/distributor, no spark plugs no computer crap to go bad.
The Hilux is 4x4 so it going through that nasty dutty water when POS flood out.
10 year old Hilux easily outlasting that brand new crap for $125K.
Have you seen the tiny shitty wheels on this 125k car? that mashing up the first pothole it hit and Trinidad has worse roads than Africa.

A Hilux Diesel even with an ECU is extremely simple in design compared to a Mercedes Benz or BMW Diesel.
This was the point Scotty Kilmer was making. Obviously it isn't completely mechanical as say a carburetor engine but general rule of thumb you try to get it as simple as possible. This means easier to fix, less expensive to fix and most mechanics will be able to fix it.
Diesel reliability is vastly superior to Gas engines out there for the simple fact that it operates on compression, this is a well known fact especially if it is designed by Toyota
As scotty kilmer always says "The whole point of a Diesel Engine is its simplicity in igniting Diesel Fuel via Compression, if you make the operation of this engine complex with too much electronics then you are doing it wrong" insert picture of goose laughing

that makes sense. learnd something there.
but i still think that my point about running away from technolgy is valid. saying that diesels are miles more reliable than gas engines is not correct i think. other than that i think ED is just parroting what this scotty kilmer fellow is saying. watched his videos and he comes across as a "new is bad old is better" kinda fella.
and his videos are titled as clickbait. in my view.
