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

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.

Thanks.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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
