Looking for a new ride

Tue, 13 Jun 2006 02:55:57 +0200

At the start of 2006 I was puzzled about what type of car I was gonna get.. I got so used to the Japanese car I have been driving for the past 5 years... This time, I wanted something special, a European car perhaps? Boom! Why not a Peugeot? Since BMW's and MB's are pretty common in Manila..

After countless research on the internet and car magazines, I learned that the model I was looking for (the Puegeot 206) was selling for around PhP650,000.00 which was a little over my budget (but bearable considering it was brand new and unique).. When I visited Viking Cars in Ortigas, I was informed that they weren't selling the 206 model anymore. I was offered the other models like the 306 and the 206CC (a really nice car) but both were above a million Pesos, 1.3 and 1.750 respectively.

Looking at the situation, I realized I wasn't prepared for this kind of investment, maybe I deserved other things, since settling down with a partner was one of my priorities for the next 2-3 years..
