malamang sobra pa sir kung ave. FC ay 8-9 km/li lang

[minicarph]

alam nyo tingen ko talaga magpa-reserve na kayo. back in 2015 kasi naisip ko na yan, while others are focused on the Jeep, the LR Defender and the FJ, ako nag-invest sa Pajero. kitam ngaun 200K na lang discount so 2.5M na pala yan ngaun.

mas ma-feel nyo na talaga ang panghihinayang pag nagpunta kayo sa Kyoto Province, the best place in Japan where the ancient landmarks are, so many Pajeros there talaga. when I was in the bus shortly before we were sent to our hotel, para naka-feel ako ng belongingness and pride coz hey that's my car these advanced people the Japs are using


kita mo nga dito yun mga old school ng Australia still prefer the Pajero over this new Montero now

[calibre027]

Agree!
Plus the TS asked if the Pajero can hold it's own against the current gen of top of the line PPVs.... to me it's a yes.

thanks for the response sir!

The BK still has its good attributes and is a hardy vehicle with good greenhouse. Pero for me you will not escape comparing especially since you have your lc200. Aside from those already metioned one thing very apparent is that the interior albeit expansive looks dated. No doubt exacerbated by its monotone black.

yes i want the beige interior sana rather than the monotone black but it seems my color choices (white and 2tone silver) is matched with the black interior

I also want one! Based on looks alone i like it. Haven't driven the new euro4 diesel engine though. Were you able to? Couldnt find a dealer with a test unit.

haven't contacted any dealer yet . thanks for the response sir! i also like its looks

hindi matagtag ang Pajero as compared to any PPV ngaun. and the Pajero dont need those sunthetic diesel oils nor fuel cleaning liquids na nilalagay sa mga PPVs ngsun

i just use Shell Helix 15W-40 for like 1400 per gallon x 2. less than 10 liters lang ang engine oil neto. it has a VIC oil filter model na tig 400 and an air filter that costs only P350. all in all I spend like less than 3k for PMS. its engine can even handle the diesel of those PUV dsicounted line. old school diesel pero you cant leave it behind sa roads, it's 3.2 engine is so powerful even if it has smaller turbo i take than the modern ones.

and yes it is comfy inside with its premium leather seats, ang bigger cabin pa than any PPV. the ohly problem is 3rd row seat, para ka naglalgay ng bangko sa likod, the Pajero is a respected car on streets kasi lagi ako napagbibigyan, lalo na pag bago detail and so shiny.

ive been to Kyoto Japan, and I witnessed na eto pala ang favorite SUV ng mga Japs on ghe province. nagoya, narra and kyoto to be exacts, so many Pajeros there next to the LC Prado which is also very visible in the province regions. the pajero same lang pero may extra side mirror sa hood and of course right hand drive

kung ako swnyo bumile na kayo if your car plan or budget permits you so. it's like investing also as this is the last model of Pajero, could very well become a classic, why' coz it's present all over the world even in countries with deserts. can the current crop of PPVS do that? and syempre since, kahit sino naman muddle class ngsun can afford PPVS like the corollas pf yesteryears, why not buy something of value
na stands test of time. para maiba naman diba. it will differentiate you from the rest, imagine sa. ay 2017 sales, almost 7,000 Fortuners sold! eh 500k na lang may Pajero ka na, kokonti pa kayo meron, scarcity in economics provides value. why not reflect this value on your taste and presence on the road as well

thanks for your opinion sir!

For the price of the BK get the new Honda Pilot

may i know anong color ng interiors ng rio grande white, skylark gray at midnight graphite?

we are about to place the order pero nagkakatalo pa kung anong kulay ng exterior/interior almost all our cars are black and para maiba naman this time, i insist on getting either white or gray. gusto ng wife and kids black ulit pero di available, ang meron yung graphite.

rio grande white = black
sapporo silver two tone with skylark gray = black
midnight graphite = beige

To answer the TS's question, a resounding yes. It's old school and driving dynamics will be a generation old by now but we have a classic in the making here and it's priced well below what Toyota offers in the same class.

It's also a nostalgic choice for oldies like me who grew up when the Pajero was the car to own (we were one of the first to have a 5-door boxtype circa 1987 and prior to that we had a 3-door circa 1985/86).

I've been scouring for a used BK or CK actually and crazyboy knows the drama i've been going through in getting one just this past year

LSB, i-sangla natin mga bahay natin to buy a Pajero. Hehehe.

[dr. d]

to paraphrase porsche.
after 20 years, the others will be old cars. but that pajero will still be the pajero.

salamat sa info.

thanks for the response sir. How's the second hand market sir? is the bk/ck hard to come by?

There are some units up for sale but there are certain models I'm looking for, and my approved budget is limited (if not, I would have already swung for a 2012 to 2015 3.2 BK if I found one being sold and driven by a first owner).

I have a close friend, his dad drives and changes cars every 15 years or so. His last purchase was a 1999 Pajero FM 4x4. After checking out the Prado, Fortuner and Monty Sport 4x4, he went for the VGT BK. His old Pajero FM is still a keeper today.

If I were to buy a second hand model I think it would be the 2011 model with Rockford sound system before the "smiling" facelift.

That's good to know sir i also had a 99 4wd M/t , which got very rare making it hold its resale value. That car is timeless I think the BK will be the same too.

Btw, gwapo ng Hilux niyo sir

[minicarph]

wala talaga magbebenta ng Pajero ngsun, i mean the more people buy PPVs nowadyas the more nagkakavalue ang Pajero, the car can never have sa presyong more than 2M na icnonic vehicle at malaki ang historical significance sa Philippines

that's how I donvnced myself when I bought one.

One of the value keepers would also to ensure the interior is is kept in good, original shape. Maraming FM sa market but a good number have shoddy interiors already.

What is the best year model Mitsubishi Pajero Bk to buy?

Syempre the current one with VGT. ;)

I'm not familiar with the mechanical nuances of the different years of the BK however if i had the budget my criteria would probably be 2012 and up model, first owned, original paint and with service records.

Bumili ka?

I was supposed to get one, but then I saw two agri-tractors for sale in Negros (at bargain price) considering that they were both John Deere's, pinatulan ko na.

I had a bit of money left, the wife wanted a van. Pumasok si Hi-Ace.

Ngayon, ipon mode ulit.



BTT:

The CK is the one with a curved front end di ba?

Yup, the CK has the curved front end. The BK and CK share the similar platforms.

Negative on the buy; And unlikely i will buy for time being... hehe. There were just a couple of good, rare units that i missed on this year that could have been within my "extra budget" (hence the drama and agony all carguys go through) but i already decided to plop down the cash for something else.

tulungan na nga kita, in fB type Mitsubishi Pajero then it will post everything related to Pajero, click Top first then scroll to click Groups, there you will see a multitude of For sale Pajeros locally. actually the best way, is to become a member of all the local selling groups of cars for sale. I am a member of about 50 groups there. then you tailor your search per group kahit sa iphone andali neto while you're out


dont use OLX anymore, it's dinosaur. also try to click People or Posts, you might even see direct owner directly selling their Pajeros

Facebook is the new king in search!

[bjreyesmd]

Medyo matagal ngayon kung bibili ka brand new BK. Wala pang stocks from Japan na dumadating. My SA told me, hindi pa sila sure kung may darating this month. Oh well, buti nalang di ako nagmamadali, hehe
