Q: A second hand higher Class Car or a Brand New lower Class Car?

[GTi]

Thank you all for the replies and I appreciate the advises. It seems that most voted the newer albeit 2nd hand Fortuner.

The thing is me and the wife test drove the Fort and the Xpander yesterday and the missus was a bit disappointed in the Fortuners bouncy ride. The Xpander GLS Sports however when we test drove it, she found it very comfortable.

I have explained all the pros of getting the Fortuner including the higher resale when it comes time to replace it.

Oh well, she doesn't seem convince with my explanations and argued that we aren't gonna sell it anyway for a very long time.. I have a feeling that the tall ingress of the Fort is the culprit because she was having a hard time climbing wearing an skinny jeans Wife is only 5 feet so I was a bit smiling when she was climbing..

We will be test driving the Brv and Rush next, maybe next week so I still have a few days left to convince her. She was quite sold out with the Xpander while the agent was explaining all the features of Xpander.

Not considering an Innova? Ride height is lower, so the wife will be happy. Good resale plus a more powerful engine than the 2017 Fort's so you will be happy.

You may be able to get a 2018 model for the same money. Or, you can add the last 100+k and spring for a brand new 2.8E AT.

Innova FTW. If I have enough money I'd go for a Montero just because matagtag talaga Fortuner.

But Innova is the bang for the buck vehicle for those on a budget.

If you pick 2015 Fortuner, Get the 3.0v Variant not the 2.5V

2015 Toyota Fortuner V 2.5 AT 4x2 - 900k top of the line with all the bells and whistle for this variant

2017 Toyota Fortuner G 2.4 AT 4x2 - 1.050M mid variant or base variant

Either the 2015 model is very expensive or the 2017 is very cheap....

Since the TS confirmed the price of the 2017 model, it must be the former, i.e., it is overpriced...😉😉😉

2017 fortuner din ako.. almost brandnew na yan... a real suv.. unlike the brv.. yung xpander ok din pero i dont think it will age well like fortuner..

[chronicle]

The only reason to buy the entry level mpv vs your fort choices is maintenance cost.
But then, if buying new, pretty sure you will rely on the casa. Whereas in getting used, you can go to your third party service center of your choosing. So cost might be break even.

Aside from that, fort 2017 is the choice to get like all others are saying.

Better in everything.

Hello Fellow Tsikoteer,

I am quite on a dilemma right now since I am planning to replace my old reliable car. My problem is I am torn between buying a second hand or a brand new car. I specifically narrowed my choices between this three.

2015 Toyota Fortuner V 2.5 AT 4x2 - 900k top of the line with all the bells and whistle for this variant

2017 Toyota Fortuner G 2.4 AT 4x2 - 1.050M mid variant or base variant.

or buy a..

2019 brand new Brv/Rush/Xpander

My budget is Max out at 1.1M for a Family car..

Hope you can help me decide which is a better buy. I am planning to keep it the same time I kept my old car which is about 10 years.

Thanks

On second thought, hindi kaya may nangyari sa 2017Fort (like nabaha) kaya "mura"?...

Timing belt pa yata yan kd series engine.. yung GD series timing chain na.. kaya lang medyo maingay compared sa kd na naka timing belt

I respectfully beg to differ . . . gone are the days of isuzu-like timing chain noise. . . Mas tahimik na ang karamihan ng modern timing-chain diesel engines. . . The gd series included

Yes i know.. but compared to korean diesels.. mas tahimik yan compared sa toyota diesel.. clattery pa din naman yun GD engine.. tsaka yung sinasabi mong isuzu.. timing gear yun..

Was just reacting po with your comment comparing re toyota kd and gd engine noise. There wasn't any mention po of korean diesels

the kd is too noisy and clattery..


with technology the GD should be better.. computer simulation is better compared to 2000s

GD fort or innova is better...over any KD

[Super Inggo]

Kahit alin sa 2 fortuner, ok lang yan. Kung bago, dapat Rush o kaya yung Vios EX para sigurado na walang sablay.

Dapat Toyota, wala nang iba [emoji16]

[GTi]

IMHO pulido na ang dating ng GD series engines, even when compared to the LC200's louder 1VD, na medyo katunog niya. Also, the Hyundai/Kia 2.2 sounds clattery in comparison, at least from the outside.

ok lang sakin ang maingay.
my windows are closed.
ted faylon takes care of the rest.

In that case I'd probably be known more as a Korean fanboy. [emoji28]

But we do have both Koreans and Toyotas. And while the Koreans offer lots of power, reliability definitely goes to the Toyotas. Yes, even the Japan surplus, converted Toyota!

My 10th gen Altis is indestructible. Even better than my AE101

Can't blame me for being a Toyota fan. My family can buy other brands but I'm sticking to Toyota.

^Close enough. Apparently they had to get it from the planta sa Laguna. That was actually the only time I've ever had to wait days for a part to arrive.
