    Kung Revo gas, benta na habang may kaunting resale value pa. Mabagal at malakas sa gas. Baka maging driver ng bayan ka pa. If you're really gonna use it, maybe just upgrade the lights and sound system. Keep the old head unit in case you'll be selling it soon and transfer it to your new car.

    Thank You ng marame mga sir sa mga comment ! haha
    Our revo sir is a 2002 Revo Sr Diesel. I plan to customize it.
    But my concern is that if i can customize it and after 3 -5 years we'll gonna sell it its hard to look for a buyer for my car.
    But if i can buy a car now that has a model of maybe 2003+ i can still have a high resale value.
    I will study sir in batangas.

    it is said, that the better-selling used vehicle, is the stock variant.
    customized or modified models are harder to sell, because they were modified to suit an individual's taste. and we all know that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. you'll be lucky to find a buyer who has the same tastes as you.. someone who will appreciate the money and effort you poured into your ride..
    me? i'll stick to stock...

    have you looked at the ads on diesel revos lately? they're still going for indecently high prices! the revo diesel is nice.. malambot ang manibela at pidal.. tight turning radius.. good fuel efficiency.. cold aircon.. lotsa baggage space.. i think you won't have problems selling yours later on..

    If ever i didn't customize my revo and stays stock can i still get a 300k+ on the revo? My target is to get at least 300k+ as i sell my car for 3-5 years from now.

    I see... The diesel Revo's real nice. We have one actually, 2001 GLX diesel. Very good for harabas and people hauling. I wouldn't be surprised if you're getting around 8-9km/L in city driving at your place. Resale value is high for this car, and its easy to sell. If its well maintained and you don't have insanely high mileage (ilan nga ba?), you'll be able to sell north of 300k.

    There's not really much you can do to customize the Revo in terms of performance besides an aftermarket air filter and alcohol injection, and even then the improvement is not that much. Top speed in stock form with 5 passengers and luggage is 145km/h*4600rpm (done in SCTEX). I suppose you can add leatherette seat covers, a decent sound system, HID for the main headlights and yellow bulbs for the fogs. That'll be sufficient added pogi points.

    perfect idea sir... you can also throw in some nice rims... in case you want to sell it, you could put back the stock rims... di ko lang alam kung ano bagay sa revo... afaik, rims does a lot to make the car look better...

    i have a fearless forecast... once buyers decide that the d4d curse is over, they'll shift their sights on the innova, and revo prices will "normalize"..

    The Revo has a high resale value. What he means is that once the Innova is proven fully reliable, Revo prices will start to drop.

    Don't expect it to arrive on our shores. Well, not unless the legislation passes a bill lowering the costs of hybrids in the country.

    Even if it DID arrive on our shores, can you stomach a price tag of Php1.6m? How did I arrive at 1.6M? Take the Toyota Prius price, subtract a few hundred thousands and voila!

    CRZ? That will be when the Alternative Fuel Vehicles bill is passed... If ever... Whenever that will be. You can import one through the grey market, though that will be ridiculously expensive. With that sort of money, you might as well get a Toyota 86 and mod the hell out of it and still have some spare change for gas.
