Brand new old stock 2018 Chevrolet Trailblazer, still a good buy?

[rnvelasco]

Planning to get a 7-seater SUV for a family car and I was offered this old stock brand new 2018 Chevrolet Trailblazer LT at 1.2m (500k discount). I really like how the Chevy looks and with that price, it is really tempting. I have read and heard from friends Chevrolet’s maintenance issues especially parts availability. Also this being a 2yrs old brand new car, I am sure there are a lot of risks involve here.

I am considering other brands below especially the Sorrento and the Montero (my old man’s choice).

2019 Kia Sorrento EX - 1.52m (380k discount)
2019 Montero Sport GLS Premium - 1.5m (500k discount)
2020 Nissan Terra VE - 1.58m (150k discount)
2020 Toyota Fortuner G - 1.6m (120k discount)

Back of my mind, I don’t want to go mainstream thus maybe why the appeal of the Trailblazer and Sorrento to me.

I would love your thoughts and experiences on the above vehicles mga masters. Thanks in advance!

Mukhang mas comfortable ang Sorrento, at mas madali i maintain compared sa Trailblazer.

Wait for the bigger discount bro.. let them bleed more...

I had a trailblazer ltz before. Powerful and spacious inside.

But it had the noisiest engine which really bothered me. Sold it after 3 years.

Am not sure if they upgraded the sound insulation and interior in the 2018 model.

Take note chevrolet is having a very difficult time in asia and is closing a lot of its country operations elsewhere. This model may be affected.

Thanks for this *bxr monkey. Showed it to the sales rep and she said that they would be willing to match that if I decide to get the Sorento from them.

hindi naman mahirap i-maintain ang TBZ kaso lang discontinued na yata ang production sa Thailand.
this is the reason why i sold my 2014 LT but the power plant under the hood is a beast!
if i were in your shoes, i'll pick the Sorento.

Binenta mo na pala Trailblazer mo bro, yun pa gamit mo last time we met up hehe. Ano pinalit mo?

BTT: Sorento over Trailblazer if it's just the 2 as options. But if you're open to other 7-seater PPVs the Montero is good if you don't need the 3rd row as much and you like the looks. Subjectively my top pick is the Fortuner.

oo bro, pero si misis ang nagbenta.
hindi ko na nga nakita mula nung umalis ako ng February dyan sa atin hahaha.
pina-cancel ni misis yung order nya na SG Elite dahil sa inip at kumuha na lang ng used SG.
siguro paguwi ko ng mid-november baka kukuha na lang ng used na ES o IS350 na lexus or another PPVs kung gaganda pa ang presyuhan by end of the year.

kaya di rin nalalayo yung pinagpipilian ni TS kung sakaling mid-size SUV ang bagsak ko.

Just sharing...

Time to ditch Chevrolet

From the choices I agree with Sorento. We had the 1st gen Tucson (2.0li gas) for 7 years. Gamit na gamit din. Daily to Makati with occasional weekend trips to Pangasinan. It just kept going with nothing but basic maintenance. Haven't had any Korean cars since then, but if they were that good 10 years ago things should be even better now.


Naging pickup platform SUV nga pala yung Trailblazer!

When I hear the name I still think of this:



and for modern versions this:

Sorento over any other PPV

Thanks everyone, seems majority recommends the Sorento. I got to see the Montero and the Sorento this weekend and I really liked the Sorento. My old man got to test drive it today and he is now sold to it. Looks like we will be getting the Sorento. Just need to have my Bank PO approved for the change of unit. I am also negotiating for a bigger discount, free PMS for the 1st 20km and a lower interest rate.

I also learned that Sorento is spelled with a single ‘r’, my bad... and that it is not a PPV.

Thanks again for the helpful advices everyone.

kung city use at occasional trips sa province, mas ok ang sorento lalo na oldie ang gagamit..

kung 2018 trailblazer, di mo pa nabibili, luma na agad... unlike sorento bagong bago talaga!

[Egan101]

Yep, the Sorento is a crossover and shares the same platform/engine as the Santa Fe. Better handling and ride comfort over PPVs.

Pics ha once you got your new Sorento.

Another question mga masters, so I am haggling with my dealer about freebies and stuff before we finalize the deal for the Sorento. I was asking for free PMS and she said that she could give me up to 20k km but she would need to reduce my discount by 20k php.

I can’t find the actual costing for the Sorento’s first 20km PMS’s. I am just thinking it will be surely more than 20k php.

If you were in my shoes, would you take the free PMS up to 20k km or the 20k php discount?

i'd take the 20K discount.
that's real money.
the free pms is a nebulous amount. sa totoo lang, oil and filter lang naman ang true-must-do's sa pms.

sorry for the OT but this reminded me of an old story...

Colleague buying an Adventure...

Pare... Full tank voucher or 10 raffle coupons to win another Adv?

My answer. pare full tank

His decision. may pang gas ako pare, wala akong pambili ng isa pang Adv.

Anyway, he's driving a Hilux now

Well, umasenso na sya since he’s driving a Hilux over an Adventure. I assume he didn’t win another Adventure with those 10 raffle coupons. Wahahaha
