BRZ/86 PMS Cost vs. WRX PMS cost

[ale828]

Usually mga sir, 2013-2016 ung nakikita kong brz/86 with low mileage. mas ok ba ung all stock or ung meron kahit konting mods? tapos ang hirap din makahanap ng merong complete PMS records

Stock if possible.
Remember most of the 86/BRZ owner usually don't bring their rides to CASA for PMS after the 1st year. So looking for casa records for PMS after the first year will be hard.
if it is a weekend ride it will mostly only get a PMS once a year.
I was spending around 10-15k for my PMS on the T86 before. that's with Motul Oil.
There are a few shops in the metro Manila area with knowledge on 86/BRZ. as noted by Egan101 above.
Its way better to bring it to them for peace of mind.

Hi guys,
Planning on getting a used 86/brz or wrx and will be using as a sunday car. Kamusta PMS cost nitong dalawa if outside casa ipapaservice like motech? alin ba ang mas reliable? kamusta kaya mga presyo ng wear-and-tear parts nito? i like the wrx since praktikal sya, 4door and ung rumble sound<3 pero nagwoworry ako sa magiging PMS. Currently own a 2016 altis and around 4-5k lang gastos ko every PMS. Salamat mga boss!

Buy the 86. It’s a looker compared to the WRX. You can mod the exhaust if you don’t like the sound. Don’t worry about the PMS because it is like an Altis plus it is only a weekend car. That car is a sure shag. Getting a ride like this, though pre-owned, logic isn’t a factor at all. Never listen to self-limiting beliefs. Remember it is your happiness that matters not somebody else. It is your money. At this stage, if you’re already driving an Altis, you must be hard working (or your parents are), which is a recipe for success. By the time you can afford, you’ll ditch that 86 and I am confident you’ll be driving an Aventador, if not a Chiron.

I don't quite care for the aesthetics of either....but I'd lean towards the simpler RWD/NA 86 over the Rex. And should he opt auto, the 86 isn't CVT. Triple win![emoji4]Soon, cars like this will be a rarity in our market.

If it doesn’t matter to you, it does to me. I always think the 86 is the little sibling of the Supra.

This is a sure recipe for disaster. If you think you can just bring a BRZ to any shop for PMS, it's either you don't read the manual or you can't tell the difference between the two.

The Altis, like any econobox, is FWD while the BRZ is RWD. Engine mounting is different, not to mention that the BRZ uses a boxer engine as compared to the usual inline-4 of the Altis. The BRZ has a differential to transmit power to the rear wheels from the engine and tranny unlike a FWD car where drive shafts connect directly to the front wheels.

Bring a car with a boxer engine to any ordinary shop and they would have no idea how to change plugs on that sucker. We don't even have to go down to the fluids where the FA20 NA engine of the BRZ requires specific FS oils unlike the Altis where you have the option to use mineral oil.

The BRZ has an AT tranny option also but Motor Image is saying that more MTs are sold for the BRZ. The BRZ has a stiffer suspension setup compared to the 86 thus it handles better on the track.

Totally agree w/ all points, bai. Suspension, I won't worry too much about. Enthusiasts would still tweak em. My bud who has an MX5 loved its stock setup, yet Ohlins still pulled him in for even more love. Haha.

Nah! You’re mistaking a few number of trees for the entire forest. He said that he is spending 4k or something on the Altis every PMS. Don’t tell me he will spend for the 86 double that amount which he will use only on weekends. The 86 first came out in the late 2011 or early 2012 so there are so many shops who aren’t ignorant about it anymore. Nobody here has monopoly of knowledge over cars.

I guess you missed the point entirely. Maintenance is not about the year model of the car but the build of the car itself. Also, just because you will use the car only on weekends, that does not mean you will maintain it less.

Do you own a Subaru? I guess not. We don’t bring our Subies to just any shop. The 86 is practically a Subie. On oil alone, you will need around 6L every change and if you use Motul, you are looking at 4k plus you have to pay for the filter, labor, and some other stuff. You can use a cheaper oil but the fact remains maintenance cost of an 86/BRZ is not going to be as cheap compared to an Altis or Civic.

I used to own a Forester XT. I said the 86 came out sometime in the late 2011 or early 2012. (No connection between year model and maintenance whatsoever, and you tell me I missed the point) That’s more or less 8 or 9 years on the road, so there are many shops other than the casa who can maintain it. It is not an Agera. Of course, it goes without saying that if you don’t use it more often, you also get to spend less to maintain that little car. And please don’t lecture me about expenses or cars. I tell you I know my cars. I just want that guy to go after what he wants out of life. That’s all. Not to quarrel with you over petty, mundane things. That’s not my cup of tea, Brother.

The thing is, car year models do not dictate PMS costs.

And come on, you can't compare an everyday car to a sports car.

Syempre mas mahal talaga maintennace ng BRZ compared to the average altis.
