    Since friend naman ng dad mo tawaran mo pa, but I suggest that you test drive it before you decide. 14k on the odo is very low so I think it's a good buy.

    I thought it was cheaper to maintain a Japanese vehicle over a Euro. Not true. Sometimes Japanese parts are more expensive than the Euro. My benchmark are the following parts:

    1. Water pump
    2. Brake rotors and pads
    3. Underchassis parts

    I brought my Patrol in for service (40T km service) to a dealer and spent P15T for change oil, oil filter and air filter plus labor. Brought my bimmer in for brake rotor change (all 4), brake pad replacement, brake line replacement, and change all fluids and filters--also to a dealer. Parts I brought with me and it cost only P5700.
