First time buyer, owner, driver. What to buy?

[bloowolf]

Oh thanks. That's actually a pretty hefty discount. I'll try contacting them.




The Seltos does look good but I haven't seen many Seltos on the road even when I'm in the Metro. I think I've only seen one when I was in Los Banos. Would you say it's better than the Ford Territory?

I really like the look of the new Tucson but I think it would be pricey once it launches here in the PH

You might want to do a bit of research on the Territory. It is currently the best looking & a head turner IMO but, I heard some issues about it which others here might know more about.

Mukhang Territory ang first choice. So far wala pang major issue na na mention sa thread. Maganda sumali sa FB group ng PH Territory Owners Club para makakuha ng actual feedback.

Kung Kia Seltos, mas madami pa akong nakita na Kia Stonic sa daan. Okay din siya, mas more na raised HB.

Teka teka teka...

Suzuki Jimny na iyan, no contest. Hehehe.

Left-field choice din ang 4x4 pickup variants.

Mas convenient pala mag RORO kaysa magdrive pa ikot sa Mindoro.

Magkano ang pamasahe ng vehicle kung between Batangas at Mindoro? Mga 2k Pesos pa din gaya dito?

Batangas port roro ferry price and schedules : Sakay & Co

Kasama na din doon ang travel insurance ng vehicle?

There's no dealership in our province here in Mindoro so we would most likely bring it Batangas for PMS. We're leaning more on crossovers than MPVs. Any specific model that would be good? I found a 2nd hand 2018 Honda CR-V 1.6S being sold for 1.35M but my mom is hesitant in buying 2nd hand cars

if i were me,
i'd buy a car which can be serviced without my having to "go out of my way".
what brands have dealerships or something similar, there in your place?

Masyadong cramped naman Jimny. Kelangan din na makakargahan ng mga pinamili sa manila na wala sa probinsya pag luluwas. And yeah so far first choice ng mom ko Territory. I'd prefer the XV tbh kaso hahanap pa ng may discount

Yep around 2k ang bayad sa RORO sa sasakyan. Though di ko na alam ngayong may pandemic

There's no dealership here in our province. Either we circle Mindoro to go to Calapan or cross the sea to Batangas which we'll be fine with

Electronics is one issue I recall but I don’t care to remember because it’s a China made one & I am biased against Chinese cars.

I'm w/ doc.... But I'd look into pre-owned...like the Land Cruiser 120series. A lot of well-cared 1s out there sub 1M.
-They share the same comfy & reliable platform w/ the FJ, Tacoma & 4Runner.
-True ladder-frame 4WD.
-Parts & mods aplenty.
-Solid workhorses, diesel or petrol.
-03-09 Architecture is much simpler than current; electronics basic. They won't intimidate the experienced shade tree wrench.
The 120 crowd in Oz & the GX470/460 community in NA are pretty active, so w/ the USED & Overlanding scenes....Great fix/maintenance/mod info resource. Parts there, midEast & here(dealership our outside)...you can source.
And, no matter the age, Land Cruisers are known to just keep running.

in that case,
i'll settle for "may mga car piyeza stores ba diyan sa inyo? pang anong car brands sila?"

[bxr monkey]

Possible choices bale.

Territory
XV
Tuscon

Corolla-Cross
HRV
Kona
Seltos
Stonic

Okay din i-consider ang mass-market MPVs.
(I-stow/fold ang 3rd row para sa cargo space.)

Innova
XL7
Xpander
BRV

Maganda tigngan lahat sa showroom at i-test drive.
Iba iyong in person kaysa sa pictures or videos.

XV over Territory for sure. Much better car when it comes to space, drive quality, and overall appeal.

Territory looks tacky to me, although good features for the price.
