Low Cost of Ownership, High Ground Clearance, Brand new. Need help to decide

[minicarph]

Hi,

I'm currently looking to get a new car for daily use. Factors to consider is yung cost of ownership, yung ground clearance (yung hindi po sana sumasayad sa humps, pwede iakyat sa gutter, at pwede mag reverse park sa mga steep inclines).

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!

Ako nagasta ko pa lang sa Mux bluepower 2017 ko in terms of maint eh P16k sa casa (3 PMSES na yun, 1k, 5k, 10k) , tapos parang 10k pa dun libre meron ako Isuzu Coupon eh as freebies

Then fuel average of 1.5-2k per month lang ako pero do take note I only go around Ortigas, BGC makati, and i have 2 other alternate diesel cars to go around every week

Sa insurance pala ako gumasta ng malaki, naka almost 60k na ko for 2 years

Ang ok kasi sa isuzu walang keme, na kesyo kelangan ng FS oil daw , they recommend regular diesel oil or semi synth lang

And I dont gas to any of the big 3, Shell, caltex, Petron. They clean their fuels so much na sobrang pino na diesel lakas tuloy maubos

Ang Isuzu mas masaya kung may lead content pa din ang diesel, parang truck lol. Not really lead pero yun old school diesel sigruo boss, ptt, seaoil, total mas mura pa

Yan mitsu montero ok sana pero me racket kasi sa Mitsu casa eh gusto nila fully sunthetic diesel oil na ang laki ng patong, pero kayang kaya ng bagong Montero ang regular diesel oil

Case in point our family’s Pajero BK, nun 3 years sa casa, lagi average 10k every PMS, pero nun out warranty, P3500 na lang sa shell , pareho din performance

Ang Major down lang sa Isuzu MuX is yun magpapa service ka na, minsan katabi mo Isuzu elf or other big Isuzu trucks na may mga sharp edge, kakatakot kasi pwede talaga magasgasan ang MUx mo pag nagkamali sa maneobra tapos super sikip pa sa casa

Minsan nga nakikita ko ibang MUX ng ibang owners naka park tapos sa taascnya Isuzu elf, gumagamit kasi isuzu service nun motorized lift parking to save space

And also, dont expect too much sa service lounge.

First time service namin, sabi 2 hours lang daw makukuha na, so kami naman ni wife naglabas ng tig isang macbook to work , eh puros driver ng isuzu elf at crosswind ang nag-aantay sa service, medyo nahiya pa tuloy kami kasi para kami nagmamagaling dun.

Saka nga pala ang kape sa service eh walang ng gatas, dsti meron pa, nescafe white, kopiko blanca, meron silang water dispenser tulad sa bahah nyo na may hot dispenser na super init pag ginamit mo yun yun super nipis na paper cup nila. Nun una ko binuhat mintik ko na mabitawan sa paso

Black na nescafe na lang talaga ang andun , mah creamer naman at sugar. Pero wala yata brown

Diba tulad sa Honda and Hyundai when I used to PmS their may mga caffe latte, capucchino dispenser pa sila sosy

Tapos diba ang palabas sa big screen tv sa ford casa or even Honda, movies talaga Avengers, marvel ganun

Sa Isuzu Service lounge Eat Bulags, show time or kung hapon ka , yun mga drama sa abs cbn na reruns, yun sila claudine barreto at rico yan pa ata yun last time Na service ko
