2005 Sportivo for P800T? Good buy??

pinapatanong po ng friend ko.

checked the ads but didn't find any listings for an 05, only for an 06 * 1M.

thanks!

Baka nabili nya nung 2005 if 2nd hand 'to.

Nabili namin ung samen for 1M, and kung fuel efficiency ang hinahanap talaga ng kaibigan mo, eto ang ideal choice for an SUV. Pero kung hindi naman, there are a lot of fishes in the sea ika nga. =D

mura na ata yang 800k, considering one year old pa lang. lam ko original price nyan is 1M+

[jake1210]

di kaya may problema yan? 800T mura naman...

[staind]

so mura yun? sabi ko sa kanya kasi, for P800T, mag-innova na lang sya, bnew pa with warranty.

sabi nga nya, mura na yun for a 1 yr old car (2nd hand po yun) kasi P1M nga raw bnew nun.

so ano sabihin ko sa kanya, ok na yun? di ba mahal? what are his alternatives let's say budget nya is up to P900T?

thanks!

Alternatives are a brand new mid-line Innova (the diesel powered Innova E) or a brand new Crosswind XT.

If he really wants the gadgets, that's an okay buy. And no, that's not too cheap for a one year old vehicle... but it's still a good price.

As an XUVi owner... I agree... the sturdiness and fuel efficiency are still top-notch versus the competition, but other than that, there are other fish in the sea...

Yes and yes. Besides, if it's one year old and if the owner brings it to the casa whenever it's time for the vehicle's PMS, then it's a wise buy. Considering after one year Isuzu normally reapplies rustproofing, airconditioning check, and mostly heavy PMS jobs that costs bucks. You'll save yourself from that.

How I know? I was the one who brought our Sportivo to Isuzu Alabang on it's 1 year and it costs us 13K I believe.

What it lacks though is power. Everyone driving a Crosswind would agree to this: Slow... Slow... Slow... regardless of what model it is. The other vehicles sold by Isuzu aren't as slow as the Crosswind models but most lack speed. Mainly, I believe, this is what's sacrificed for the sweet fuel efficiency. Consider it like getting 50% off of your monthly electric bill. =D

so bottomline is... it's better to fish around? ;)

mid-level innova is better?

[kyle618]

for me innova rin... nicer interior, faster engine. no brainer

[niky]

It depends. The Innova is a much nicer car, but the Crosswind is dead-on dependable, rugged and efficient. Nice family car? Innova. Working car? Crosswind. Even though I don't really like them, we have 3 (Highlander, XTO, XUVi) in the family, and even the really old Highlander still sees regular commuting duty.
Plus the engine, while a bit smoky, isn't picky about diesel quality.

800T budget..... Sportivo is just a croswind s/p facelift.

Innova... no comment.

Out of the way but, I'll go for the 2000 Pajero Field Master.
