Finances

Wednesday, May 27, 2009

I am not sure if I post here already about our new car. Yup, we got it a month ago. We actually reached the first 1000 Km already and we already sent it back to Toyota for change oil.

We got the insurance for free as part of Toyota’s package so our insurance is covered for this year. But I heard that we have to send our car again for change oil when we reached 5000 Km and I think when we reached 10000 Km. The labor is free but we have to pay for the cost of the oil. When we had our change oil for the first 1000 Km, we have to shell out P4800 and they said that the price that we have to pay when we reached 5000 and 10000 is around P5000 – P7500 so as early as now we are already preparing for it and we have to set aside extra money for that so we won’t be caught off guard with unexpected car expenses.

Since we are talking about finances, as early as now, I am also looking at car insurance so I have an idea on how much we have to allot in our budget for this. Any leads for insurance? I am really being OC with this car finances since the last time we had a car, we are always unprepared with car expenses specially if it is unexpected like car repairs, LTO registration and the like. So you can call me overacting but I am making sure that we are ready financially this time.

Hi Abie,

Tip lang ...sorry, ngayon ko lang nabasa post mo.

We have Toyota car din, pero pag tune up/maintenance, we bring it sa casa for maintenance and labor lang. So yun mga oil and air fuel filters, castrol oils/synthetic oils (7 liters kami baka 4 kayo for vios), and spark plugs (wala kami nito), we buy it outside. Mas mura kasi than sa casa.

Then di ba kasama sa package yun FREE labor na sa Toyota kami for the 1,000km and 5,000km. Kaya wala kami bayad dito. Hehehe!

We just paid P4,200 last May lang for the 10K km maintenance check, pero ganun pa din mga materials we bought it outside. Dito namin pinapagawa sa Toyota Libis.

Try nyo check din, mas makatipid kayo ... :)
