2005 Toyota Revo VX240d/ SR diesel. IMHO although it is old compared to advie and crosswind. it is wider than advie and more comfortable to drive than crosswind.

TS just watch out for 2nd hand "Ondoy Cars" there's still a lot of them hanging around where owners are more than willing to sell at significantly lower value than FMV... They will be a pain in the neck come fixing time...

But the MS would be nice. Starex GRX for 500K? Nah... I don't think he can get one, the lowest price I saw was around 560K, but if can still find one at 500K that would be nice.

For practical questions, Do you really need the power of Starex GRX if the advie or crosswinds is just enough even though its underpowered, it can still bring you from point A to B.

Pardon my ignorance, which one will I get better mileage: starex which is a van and a rav 4 which is a compact suv?

Thanks! But I read somewhere in this forum that it is not advisable to buy repossessed cars from banks because owners usually abuse the cars if they know it is going to be repossessed

what do you mean it is older than advie or crosswind? Does it mean that i can buy a later model of an adview or crosswind for the same price of a 2005 toyota revo?

500K, 2nd hand, 5-7 people, AUV or SUV.....add natin 5 years old or younger model (2005 onwards)

Toyota Avanza
Suzuki APV
Isuzu Crosswind
Mitsubishi Adventure

Worried about Ondoy? Use mo 500K for down payment of a new car. Sure ka na hindi na Ondoy yung mabibili mo. Plus bago pa!
