Php650k budget for Car this December 2024

Hi! I’m planning to buy a car on December as a necessity for my work where I have to visit town to town, and some isolated places here in province and I am planning on buying this year.

Ang budget ko lang is around Php650k (cash). Wala akong alam sa kahit ano regarding cars as newbie driver ako and basta inaral ko lang mag drive (both manual and automatic).

As for the looks ng car, mas bet ko talaga mga SUV or pick up but mostly are in millions above ang price kahit na 2nd hand and sa kulay, I like white or pearl white hahaha.

I don’t mind if secondhand or not basta safe. Anyone who could help me decide or make any suggestions/recommendations? Second hand or brand new? Cash or installment? What car? Enlighten me please hehe.

As background lang din, I live alone in countryside, may open space parking sa apartment ko. And my salary is 6 digits. I just feed myself, wala other responsibilities hehe. And no debt din naman as of now.

Thank you in advance!
