Best buy between Starex (GRX - 2007) and Urvan estate (2009)

[MacGyver1]

Mga sir ask ko lang sa inyo alin kaya sa dalawa ang best buy? starex grx (07) 810K from buy & sell or urvan estate (09) worth 898K private seller, both manual transmission..

nakakalito po which one to choice, primary purpose is for family use and pwedeng business like van for rent.. first car po kasi kung loloobin, bale consider narin po natin ung cost ng magiging maintenance cost...maraming salamat po..

Cost of maintenance-Urvan ako.

Kung sa mga rent a van, mas madalas nilang ginagamit yung urvan. Correct me if i'm wrong. Kung pang family use, sa starex ako. Kung ako kasi pipili, sa starex ako. Why? Kasi mas comfortable para saakin yung starex and adequate yung power niya compared sa urvan.

Without a doubt, the Starex is the better van. The Urvan is lacking in power (105ps/213Nm vs 145ps/360Nm for the Starex). And the engine is a 3.0L unit so fuel efficiency isn't going to be great. Kung Urvan ang kukunin, dun na ako sa JDM unit which comes with an intercooler turbo version of the local Urvan Estate's engine and dual sliding doors.

Thanks Sir GTI and Sir Sleepcare, actually po ung mag fi-finance yung brother in law ko na japanesse, at first binigyan ko sya ng pics ng toyota grandia at urvan escapade at ung grx model ng starex (note second hand lang po ung kukunin), reply sakin ng bayaw ko want nya ma-try Starex ng Korea dahil parang nauumay na daw sya sa japanese made car, ironic nga nagtatarabaho sya sa Honda engineering, to make it short kaya sinama ko parin sa choices yung Urvan Estate dahil un nga rin ang purpose para narin sa kahit "van for hire", every 3months kasi nauwi sya dito lagi kami umaarkila ng Van, mahilig kasi mamasyal bayaw ko, if I were go to Starex yung maintenance cost ang iniisip ko, ..anyway salamat po ng marami uli...

[Sleepcare]

Ahh i see. Wala kang pag-sisisi sa starex. Just make sure na magandang unit makukuha mo.

[GTi]

Kung ganun eh di Starex na talaga. Especially since ang Urvan dito is leagues behind the one sold in Japan. He will just keep commenting on how bad it is. Just as long as you get a well maintained unit and maintain in well yourself, then it should serve you well.

Starex na nga, financed naman pala, kaya mo maintenance niya. Sulit na yan IMO. Ganda niyan, in all aspect ha!

A GRX Starex TCi can only churn out 100HP max.... 145HP is for the Starex CRDi.....

13.1K:bike:

Ang Starex GRX may CRDi and Turbo Intercooler versions. Kung Turbo Intercooler ang nakita na GRX ng TS, siguradong hindi aabot ng 810k ang presyo.
