Current options:
Toyota Rush 1.5 E A/T at 1M
Isuzu MU-X LS A/T at 1.3M

Car usage would be:
20,000 to 30,000 KM Per Year.
Will keep the car for at least 10 years, estimate up to 15 years.
Will not be selling the car afterwards, ipapadala nalang sa province.
If possible, sariling maintain lang sana sa sasakyan, change oil sa gas station, refill fluids, palit mga filter, etc. Then kapag may nasira, dun lang ipapagawa sa CASA or sa Mechanic.

Factors to consider sa cost of ownership:
Vehicle Price
Maintenance Cost
Expected Repairs
Insurance
Registration
Fuel Consumption

Please help me decide. Thanks in advance guys!
Sa price, assuming a 10peso diff between gas and diesel, and assuming you get on average 7kmpl on the rush, you would break even between 7-10years (20-30k annual mileage). Considering you will be using this for 10+ years, i would say halos pareho lang cost sa lifetime ng vehicle if you factor in the extra expenses...masmahal insurance for the costlier vehicle, financing costs if hindi cash, consumables, parts/maintenance, tire replacements after several years, etc. Bottomline, the less mileage/years you put in the more in favor of the rush and vice versa. 30k km annually is a lot of kms. thats a daily run of 80+km.

Also, the 1.5L rush has better power to weight ratio than the rz4e mux. And more airbags too so that's a plus on the safety dept. The mux would be heavier built though and would be better for rough use.

Good luck on your choice!
