Cheap Vehicle for Flooded Roads P300k (except FORD)

[minicarph]

Samurai good luck. i had one. It's just sn owner type jeep with car paint. If the flood wont get you, the daily primitive suspension will.

Good riddance sa kin yan. One of the happiest moments of my life when it left our home


Btw, did i tell u that's its nt yet power steering, this car is best for those Mt. pinatubo rentals. Pang for rent

The Japanese suzuki samurai is different however. Yun ang okey, with the shorter body.

Pero yun long body, locally assembled ng Philhino, walang pinagkaiba sa mga locally assembled jeep wrangler

I showed my Mom the 2016 Fortuner. The guy from Toyota Pasong Tamo told me that they don't give cash discounts.

Is the Fortuner 2.4 4x2 G DSL Manual a good buy or should I just wait until I can afford an AT? My Mom said if I want it that bad then I should sell my 10th + 11th gen. But then I would have to buy another older sedan for my coding car (P200k MAX).

tsk tsk.. At first i thought you're looking for a cheap 2nd hand vehicles. Well for a brand new vehicle, any low end variant will give you less headaches in case something happens. Go for the Manual Trans.

I prefer a cheap vehicle good for flooding. My mom just suggested that option of getting new.

I forgot to mention that I don't like smallish SUVs (Jimny, Vitara, rav4 etc), bigger is better

kung pang-baha, i personally prefer MT over AT.
sell the younger altis, so's to get more money to buy the fort. magiging main car mo naman yata ang fort, right?

If I get a new fortuner I have to sell both cars because it costs 1.3M. I still need to cover extra bec the 2 cars won't amount to 1.3M

Then I still need to buy an old coding sedan.

selling your two cars to cover much of the fort's price... then buying another used car with questionable history, for coding?
perhaps you not sell either car first, until you know what your fort's plate number is gonna be. then sell the appropriate car. at least here, you know for sure your coding car is in good condition.
let your financier worry about the payment first.

Alam ko na cathy, napapaisip ka lang ksse ilang araw. Ng umuulan kayo nakakaisip ka ng flood vehicle, Hanggang oct lang naman rainy season, kung ako sayo tulog mo na lang

Buying a cheap beater car will make you bitter on the other months of the year.

However, if i'm you. I would look at 2 cars: the fieldmaster and the previous gen Montero.

But id you're me, you just wait it out for the floods and just eat or hotel kung saan ka abutan and just get a nice LTE sim for your gadgets

That's true. This week, I've gone home past midnight for several days because I do wait it out. I hate to drive when it is raining especially in the evening. I really regret not demanding for an SUV, instead of my Gen 11, now my family says I should have insisted It's too late for that now!

Ayoko na ng Montero, mahal pa at baka ma SUA pa ko

You can get a 1st generation Expedition for 200k. Its not hard to maintain as parts are abundant at some places. Theyre just gas guzzlers and difficult to park.

I though Ford is difficult to maintain? Gas guzzler, around 4 km per liter diba? I saw a 1999 model for P220k in OLX. Wow!

It makes me wonder, why is the expedition so much cheaper compared to the Pajero or Patrol?

4km/l is optimistic on a floody day. Theyre cheaper because their reputation as guzzlers. When we had one, shops never had trouble sourcing parts. Im sure the parts are more expensive than an altis' but its not unreasonable (5k for an oil change).

A more reasonable but less capable choice is a first generation CRV.

^ Fuel consumption. My Aunt's 1998 4x4 Exped has logged 200k kms as they use it often but their weekly gas bill is around 3K. The check engine light has gone off several times but it never left them stranded; repair bills can still get hefty though if you don't have the time to take it to a shop and buy parts yourself.

Brand new? A new Nissan Navarra is around 1M. The MU-X 2.5 m/t is also attractively priced. If i were to compare the 4x2 M/T Fortuner to our Hilux m/t id say it's a good buy also. The clutch is light, it's efficient and power is good.

An old Pajero FM may be easier to repair and source parts for as against a Patrol. Sayang CB just sold his FM; that was in very good condition.

Old Expeds with the 4.6L V8 are prone to ignition and cylinder misfire thus the reason for the usual on-and-off of the check engine light. You just need to bring it to the highway and get it revving/cruising to get the cylinders firing properly.

Locally, I think the biggest problem you can have with an Expedition is if the air suspension fails. They say it's an expensive fix.

The coil suspension replacement is 20k. That would be a permanent fix. Its a bit picky with fuel so when we had one we would only gas up in one place. I got a check engine light before from simply gassing up in a dodgy place (east ave. petron)

Excluding the air suspension, we never got a bill thats more than 15k. Brake pads are cheaper than Subaru Pads (around 4k for fronts as far as I remember)

But honestly its a bit overreacting to get one just for the floods. It cant fit in some Makati parking buildings. Its as long as a new Ranger but much wider.

Mahal piyesa.ng old fords if ang mga nasisira eh yun mga electronics like blower resistor, tire pressure monitoring at kung anu-ano pa toys nilagay sa mgs american cbus ni ford. You cant just source this out in banawe

That's why it's better to get the monteros and old pajeros fieldmasters for flood or mountain use.

Kahit may suv ka na naka lift, may snorkel pa, maiipit ka pa rin sa traffic kasi karamihan sa daan ayaw o hindi kaya tumawid sa baha. So ganun rin. Maghintay ka rin. But i do get your point na may peace of mind talaga. But just saying na di ka pa rin makakalusot sa late night traffic tuwing may ulan

Yep.

I'm driving a sedan, compared before sa innova na mas higher ang clearance yes medyo takot ako sa mga panahon ngayon.

I do get your point, Kaya ako either stop over somewhere me and my car is safe.

Wala naman ata na baha na super instant out of nowhere.

If no choice? Then sit it out, wag lumusong.

BTT

Another rich people problem hehe

Peace Cathy!

Get the Fortuner, sell the 10th Gen!

By the time you get your fortuner, it would no longer be rainy season.
