Hi folks,

I'm looking to buy my first car, I love both BMW and Toyota although I prefer the former. I have quite a tight budget and I'm wondering which one suits me better. Can anyone give me valid reasons to why I should I choose which?

Cheers,

thank folks for your fantastic sharing, yeah Toyota is a lot better for my circumstance, thank everyone.

    I have quite a tight budget

    Do you have money in reserve to service/fix the BMW?

      @Spackbace, thanks for your reply, I don't really have it but I expect to use my weekly income. I don't know how much I should reserve for the purposes? Regards

    both are completely different cars, this is like asking do i want to eat a strawberry or a lemon?

      Lemon, go for the lemon. But have extra money in reserve to service/fix your tastebuds.

    Which One to Choose between BMW X1 2011 and Toyota Camry Altise 2014

    is this a trick question? the camry, of course.

    Cost of a car is the cost to keep the car not to buy it.

    You already answered your own question with the words: tight budget. Get the Camry. Maybe nothing will go wrong with the Beemer but if something does then it sounds like you would be in a bit of a pickle. Save yourself the stress!

    Get the Toyota - cheaper to maintain :)

    why not wait for the 2018 camry? comes out next month in Australia

      According to carsales, OP's budget is ~$20k, brand new one would be at least $30k

      • hmac on 30/10/2017 - 19:54

        Or OP could wait a year, save a bit more and buy MY17 second hand for 21-23k

        • SaveTheManuals on 30/10/2017 - 19:55

          Just depends on urgency I guess..

        Brand new Camry is $26,990 d/a

      • thetrain on 30/10/2017 - 21:36

        2014 Camry Altise from fleet/government auctions would be $11-$13k

    Get the Toyota! That generation after the facelift looks quite nice, also cheaper maintenance + insurance can save you heaps!

    • Oz8argain on 31/10/2017 - 13:08

      when is the new global camry platform coming to aus? the quad tail pipes is a good touch

    I rather push a Camry than drive a BMW :)

    Personally I'd go with the Toyota, which isn't about brand loyalty b/c AFAIC it's just a car, but I've heard quite a few ppl suggest that BMW can be expensive to service.

    Something even more run down. 60% you're going to have an 'accident' in your first car.
