Thanks to Jake and Fred for the insurance advice.

Now I'd like to ask about the 'key' cost of owning and running a car.

What are the legally required costs ?
In UK we have vehicle tax, insurance, MOT and servicing as well as legal requirements on tyres, lights etc

How about Philippines ?

I'd also like to understand whether a diesel or petrol is best for Philippines.

Where's the best place to buy a secondhand vehicle?

How about from the e-bay equivalent ?

Thanks for any info, help hints and tips etc.

I don't have anything in mind just preparing for the inevitable time
