'02 CRV vs. '06 Fortuner G 2.5 D4D

[ronw123w124]

Hi folks, my wife currently owns an 02 CRV which is still in excellent condition as it only has 24,000km. We are being offered an 06 Fortuner G D4D by one of our long time supplier in our business, this particular Fortuner is in almost brand new condition as it is used very seldomly, in fact it only has 8,000km presently. I'm very sure that the mileage is not tampered. If ever this deal pushes thru, this will be the second time that I buy a car from this person, the first one was 3 years ago when I bought his 2000 Corolla XE with only 28,000km at the time for use in the office and up till now we are still using that Corolla.

Personally, I'm not really very convinced with the idea of selling the CRV to buy the Fortuner but it seems that my wife is ready to jump the gun. Inputs please, thanks!

Magkano ang ibebenta sayo? Kung mura lang, pwede. Since mas matipid at malaki ang 2.5D4D Fortuner kaysa sa CRV, worthwhile upgrade yan. Pero medyo kapos sa lakas ang 2.5L na Fortuner (almost 50hp less than the CRV!) dahil sa bigat ng kaha at kakulangan ng intercooler ng makina kaya kailangang i-rev ng mataas para makakuha ng matinong acceleration which means only single digit fuel mileage.

Di pa kami naguusap sa presyo, sabi ko kasi sa misis ko test drive niya muna kasi baka manibago sya sa Fortuner since its substantially bigger than the CRV. Based sa mga on line sites na natignan ko siguro add ako ng mga 400-450k.

Hindi ko alam kung dahil nasanay ako sa mga 3.0L na SUV pero personally, sobrang mahina ang Fortuner 2.5D4D para sa akin. May kaibigan akong may 2010 Fortuner 2.5D4D M/T. Para maka-attain ng similar acceleration ng Trooper namin (which hardly ever goes beyond 2500rpm) magshi-shift siya ng 3000rpm lagi and he gets around 8.5km/L city fuel mileage.

Actually, kung ako lang ang masusunod di ko muna bebenta yung CRV dahil parang nanghihinayang ako dahil ganda pa ng condition. Pero ayaw ko lang kasi kontrahin sa misis dahil sya naman ang gagamit ng Fort if ever matuloy.

Kung hindi naman victim ng D-4D issue yung Fortuner, pwede na. Medyo underpowered nga lang pero it's better than the gen 2 CR-V.
