I am looking for a new ride for my family. Options are a new compact car or 2nd hand SUV/AUV/MPV. Please recommend a good 2nd hand SUV. Here are the considerations:
1. At least 2006 model.
2. Budget is 700K
3. Good legrooms. Can comfortably seat 7 persons in case of emergency. Though usual number of passenger is 3 to 5.
4. FC
5. Maintenance
6. Reliability
Doesn't care about resale value.
I am looking at Xtrail, Escape and CRV. Maybe you can recommend other models. Please specify model year.
Thanks!

June 3rd, 2009 01:23 PM #2A used 2007 Innova E I think would be the best bet in you price range. Has that emergency seating for 7 that CR-V, Xtrail and other compact CUV's don't have at your price range. A used Everest would also work pero personally I would get an Innova na lang...

June 3rd, 2009 01:58 PM #4xtrail, cr-v, and escape... 5 seater cuv's. as for the fc, i don't think that reasonable
go for the following:
1. tucson
2. pajero fieldmaster (early 1997-2000 models), get the 4wd variant
3. innova E, kagaya ng sabi ni tidus
4. crosswind xuvi
5. adventure, if you want
6. even a revo maybe a candidate if you want, get the vx240

June 3rd, 2009 02:09 PM #6I can speak for the X-Trail as a pretty good ride and probably meets most of your requirements, unless you're talking about seating 7 people comfortably (you'll seat 5 comfortably and the 2 additional passengers will have to rough it out at the back) and resale value. Compared to the 2nd Gen CRV and the previous gen. Escape, the X-Trail seems to hold its value pretty well.
If you're looking at the MPV segment, its a simple choice and the INNOVA is a no-brainer here.

June 4th, 2009 10:02 PM #13Kung Innova man lang, I will use the money as downpayment for a new one. Konti na lang brand new na. Originally Posted by rnvelasco

Your best bet is the pre-owned Sportivo.
Add another 100-200K, then the local Fieldmaster Pajero is a good option. If your unwilling to shoulder more, lax a bit and get a much older model (early part of 2000s).
Given that your initial bets are CUVs, your best option is to use the money to get a brand new 7-eater SUV (medyo mahal nga) using the your intended budget as downpayment.

Personally, I will get the FM Pajero. It fulfills all your criteria to a certain extent.

June 10th, 2009 08:49 PM #15If I were to limit my choice between a X-Trail and Escape both 2006 model, what would you recommend? I am leaning to these two vehicles because I like the way they look. Nevermind the seating capacity and resale value. Main consideration is value for money, maintenance cost, reliability and of course FC.

June 10th, 2009 09:24 PM #17It may be a matter of aesthetics but I go for the Escape. It got a more crisp and clean look.
