    I see a lot of FB posts for bnew Alphards asking way over SRP sometimes as much as plus 1m. I see a lot of this used by hotels as limo service. Im wondering is there a shortage of supply and is Toyota Ph aware?

    Taas ng demand. Inhouse financing lang ang gusto tanggapin ng mga agent na umaabot ng 4 to 5m. Sabi ng kakilala kong agent dinadala daw sa china ang iba?

    I have one of these! It’s really a plush experience. Feels closer to something you’d expect from Lexus compared to Toyota. Swaths of leather everywhere, very well-mannered ride and amazing captains seats. Driving it is fine, but trust me, the second row is where you want to be.

    This is coming from someone who only has the base model Alphard (check out its twin, the Veilfire too!), people in Japan get much more luxurious trims like the Royal Lounge which has a TV, better audio, seats and tons more afaik.

    I'm sure it's a well-made, competent, and comfortable minivan. But, it sure is butt-ugly.

    The Alphard looks good to me. Bold front for a Toyota but overall it looks classy and goes head to head with the more muted and less popular V220d.

    The POGO's vehicle of choice.

    Kaya wag tayo magtataka kung waiting yan dahil mga heads mismo ng toyota, kinokontrata na kaagad sa planta pa lang.

    Then dinadaan pa rin nila sa sales agents para mukhang legit sale when in fact, nag usap na mga sales managers and POGOs regarding their units.

    Also, overpriced bentahan nila sa labas kasi POGOs have money and are willing to pay cash upfront.

    My source you ask? Friend ko na supplier ng alphard sa mga pogo, kinokontrata niya na agad mga sales agents for their unit allocations and my friend sells it overpriced to POGOs

    basically going against the chines' trillions

    so i'm guessing they've sold 1000+ last year?

    One of my clients ordered 4 units for personal use ng family and company nila said tagal daw ng waiting time unless you pay the premium insurance blah blah blah, sabi nya sa Toyota they can wait, if wala daw, ok lang hehehe.
