Buying Car In Manila and Bringing It To Mindanao To Save Money

[vinj]

Good day mga sir and maam!

Bago pa lang po sa tsikot and d pa makapost ng new topic kaya dito na muna ako sisingit kung ok lang..[emoji1]

I'm a dude from Leyte planning to buy a car late this year (1st time buyer). Been browsing different dealers in leyte, cebu, manila and noticed a large difference in SRP. Specifically, suzuki swift 1.2 MT is priced at 688k here and in cebu while in manila its only 638k. 50k difference!

1. Justifiable ba to na price difference to consider na dito na lang ako kumuha sa leyte?

2. If not and sa manila ako bumili, magkano aabutin ng additional expense kung si dealer na mag.arrange to ship the unit here in leyte?

Salamat sa sasagot..

1. Shipping - Easily 20-30K, maybe?
2. Registration - Your car will be registered at a Manila LTO so it's record will be here. It might cause inconveniences later on, unless your dealer can handle the registration at your region.

One option is to buy the vehicle in Manila then drive it via Ro-ro; that may be cheaper than outright shipping.

Cost is really higher in the province due to less competition and in some areas, lower volumes.

Thanks sa suggestion sir. What do you mean by inconvenience regarding LTO?

Tnx sa reply sir. Followup question sir. Plano kong kumuha through bank financing from a bank here in leyte. Would that be possible? If so, kailangan pa kaya ako magpabalik2 ng leyte-manila for the entire transaction?

Depends if your depository bank in leyte agrees to partner with the dealer from Manila. Usually they dont unless you are a special client.

Nevermind the price diff, just make sure that the claims in warranty if needed be will be honored by the local dealer. Otherwise, it will be too much of a hassle later on.

Bumili kami dati surplus truck sa may edsa qc. Nung rerenew namin rehistro sa tayuman kung ano anong charges ang hinihingi kasi di daw registered etc etc. So nagreklako kami sa binilhan namin. Suggest nila sa lto sa may caloocan kami magrenew kasi dun sila nagrehistro. Ayun ok naman. May friend naman ako nagrenew ng lisensya sa ibang lto, wala pangalan nya dun. Pero kung san sya nagexam meron naman. Bulok ang system ng lto natin. Baka magkaproblema ka pa sa rehistro at magpabalik balik pa sa maynila

Taking off from this post, say 20k for shipping, then add 10k for your expenses na mag-asikaso dito, so 20k na lang diff, subukan mo na lang i-tawad ito.

Makatawad ka ng 10k so 10k diff na lang, but:

1. You get what you see.. unlike kung ipa-ship mo, baka may ma chip na paint or madumihan na interior, or whatever ek-ek;
2. You are sure you get your car.. pano kung minalas at lumubog yung barko? edi sakit ng ulo kausap mo ang insurance imbes na sana ay nag-eenjoy ka na pumasyal with your new ride;
3. You get to make friends with your local dealer;
4. Best of all, wala kang hassle sa pag-asikaso,

Nangyari na din sa akin yan. Sa probinsya ako kumuha ng license. Pero dahil 10yrs+ daw ako hindi nagrenew nawala na records ko sa "computer" nila. Baka database tinutukoy niya. So nung nagrenew/kumuha ako ng license sa Maynila back to zero.

Saan kaya napupunta ung computer fees na binabayaran natin??? [emoji246]

If you just want to save on shipping cost, ask the local dealer that you want the unit released in Manila. Buying in Manila will be cheaper only if you regularly go to Manila and also have a place to stay in Manila. Otherwise, if you add the hotel, food and other expenses it will come out the same. Or you can wait and buy when you are on vacation in Manila.

Salamat sa mga sagot nyo kind sirs.. Siguro consider ko na lang tawaran yung local dealers dito samin. Salamat ulit.[emoji1]
