Pajero or MU-X?

[LuckyMan]

Mga gurus / Sir,

Just want to know your thought and advises. Will be buying a family car early next year if God permit (2015). 7 seater is a must as my aging CUV can only accommodate 5 passenger. Hindi na kami kasiya ng family ko. We intend to keep the car for more than a decade. I’m torn between the Pajero diesel (due to a big discount being offered by casa) and the newly launched MU-X (4X2 AT)(Cheaper by > 1M) I know they are on different level pero minsan lang kasi bibili kaya gusto ko todo na at pangmatagalan na gamit. Nagustuhan ko naman MU-X kasi cheaper siya at ok na rin mga features niya. Yung price difference nila ay pwede nang ibili ng kapirasong lote sa subdivision for an additional investment.

1. Cheaper to maintain
2. Durability and reliability
3. Practicality

Need your inputs mga sir. Thank you in advance sa inyong mga payo.

Nasagot mo na yung tanong mo. I think you are a practical person so buy the mux and that subdivision lot. And since next year pa naman, wait a little longer baka sakali ilabas yung mux 3.0.

Isuzu MU-X since you just said you can invest the savings. After 10 years income from that investment can buy you a luxury car.

[machinepistol]

MUX po, sir. It will bring you to your destination in substantially the same comfort and convenience.

Payo ko pangontra. Pajero na agad. Wag ka magtyaga sa isang AUV replacement. Kung kaya mo ang next level, just go and get it!

[LuckyMan]

Thank you po sa mga payo nyo. kung pagbabatayan po ang tinitibok ng puso ko, Pajero. Nalilito lang po kasi ako mga Sir kasi tama si Sir Yebo, practikal nga po akong tao kaya sa isip ko MU-X. pero pag uwi ko po try ko sakyan both car para malaman talaga alin ang mas sulit. Sana nga dumating yung 3.0 ng MU-X next year. Salamat pong muli.

investment + car = taong nag-iisip ng tama. Sa Pajero sikat ka nga butas naman ang bulsa mo wala ka pang investment totally negative.

Ayaw mo Land Cruiser? Since taga Bulacan ka malapit lang ang San Fernando Pampanga may BIG DISCOUNT din daw dun ang Toyota for a Land Cruiser... lalabas na masmura pa sa choices mo.

Kidding aside, one of your considerations is it can seat 7pax... Im 5'10 and I can say mas ok ang third row seating ng MU-X as compared sa Pajero... yung sa Pajero parang jump seat lang talaga and not designed to accommodate 2 more people.. At least yung sa MU-X relatively pwede naman and tolerable for a guy like me for say a 1-hour trip... kung 2-nth hour kelangan marami stop over para magstretch.hehe

Sa akin sir bilin mo na yung gusto mo para na satisfied ka mahirap later on magsisi ka....pero Kung low budget wag magpilit go for the 2nd option.

Got 'enough' dough, Pajero no contest. And by 'enough', it should be just spare cash. Kung sakto lang, might as well get what you can afford. Malay mo di para sayo ngayon yung Pajero.

[oliver1013]

Sasabihin ko sana na sundin mo ang puso mo, kaso 1M is 1M..



ahhh alam ko na hanap ka ng nalang ng 2-3 y/o pajero...

[yebo]

masarap mangarap pero mas masarap ang cash sa bank, at lalong mas masarap ang real estate. ako nga tagal ko nang dream yung lc200. pero kahit lc100 lang tapos ise-set up na macho offroad look masayang-masaya na ako dun. may go signal na nga ako kay misis last january e pero ang binili ko instead ay bt50 saka 2 bedroom condo unit. o di meron akong 4x4 at saka condo na may kasamang swimming pool, gym, basketball court, roof deck at isa pang parking space

Test drive both and see which one calls out to you. May budget ka naman for either one, so on an emotional level, you might be swayed toward the Pajero. Ok lang naman.

Some find the MU-X to be too bare. Some might not want the status symbol that the Pajero might stand for. Some things to consider as well. It's not all that appears on the spec sheet, kaya bisita na po sa showroom.

pajero sounds good but it's an outgoing model

pajero is reliable vehicle but... parts remains scarce, since only a few bought this vehicle.


just to add- the chosen few- it may be good thing or bad- for me it's good

traverse beats the explorer(i own both) - less problems- i meant never gave me any headache, never had any problems with the former unlike the explorer...

[rafmac]

Pajero owner here in terms of luxury the isuzu cant compare but if your criteria is a 7 seater take it out of the equation since the 3rd row is cramped. I actually took it out

Many thanks again gents for your insights. Mas lamang ang nagsasabi ng MU-X which is more praktikal nga. Me and my wife really like the Pajero but as what sir oliver1013 said, 1M is 1M kaya malamang we will be settling with the MU-X + kapirasong lote. but for sure will try them both pag uwi ko on January 2015 if given the chance. Hindi ko na kinonsider ang TrailB due to the fact na parang mas bang for the buck ang 4x2 MU-X against TB LTX as per review na rin ng iba nating tsikoteers and specced sheets. Planning to buy it in cash mga sir, kaya nga po nanghihinayang ako sa 1M na cash for practical reasons. 2005 pa yung current car namin, next year lang madadagdagan if God permit. talaga pong pinag ipunan ng matagal kaya heto confuse na hehe.

Considering LC 200 from Toyota San Fernando baka sakaling makuha rin ng 1.5m (kidding aside po mga sir. baka exclusive lang sa mga CHIEF PNP ang ganun kalaking discount. Ako naman po ay CHEAP seaman isang hamak na maglalayag kaya di po kaya yung LC. hanggang tingin na lang siguro.

the first real ofw are the FILIPINO SEAMAN-SEAFARERS, and they are still the major ofw contributor amounting to a total of $ u.s. 4 billion every year.

they kept our economy afloat despite dozens of political mishaps, from corruption, bad economic management, coup de etat, terrorism and rebellion.

you are not a cheap seaman- you risk your lives and personal happiness for our sake, directly and in-directly.

be proud and humble

Pajero for luxury. MuX for practicality. Weigh what you really need.. Pajero is a timeless beauty, and one of the ultimate status symbol in the neighborhood..

Mu-x is a good choice
w/ all the goodies it have and selling at 1.358M
its a bang for the buck
it is morwe quieter and comfortable than any other
isuzu except the Trooper
If you want the Pajero go for it
but it will be having a replacement model soon

Whenever I buy a vehicle, I follow my heart. Gusto ko kasi na ang bibilhin kong vehicle is ung talagang gusto ko. If practicality is out of the question, Pajero ako.

But given your circumstances, I would use my mind and choose the MU-X plus the lot. Lalo pa at sinabi mo that you are thinking of keeping the vehicle for more than a decade. Maganda din naman ung MU-X. May brand new vehicle ka na, may lot ka pa.
