3 YEARS OLD MONTERO GLS 3.2 4x4 FOR 1M or brand new glxv 2.5 4x2

[GTi]

If the car is for keeps, then I'd go for the 3.2. Since your uncle is the previous owner, you should have a pretty good idea of how he uses the car. If it's OK with you, then get it. Since he's your uncle, you'd probably be able to get very flexible paying schemes. Kahit hulugan siguro hindi naman problema at siguro naman eh walang interest. And since you're relatives, hindi ka naman tatakbo diba? If it is in good condition, get it. The 4M41 engine is definitely better than the 4D56. It's in a more relaxed state of tune and should you want to go the tuning route, it has more potential. The torque curve is also flatter and broader. The 4D56 is relatively lifeless before the turbo kicks in and it has a torque peak and not a torque plateau. And then again, the 4D56 is known for smoke belching issues even when relatively new.

But that is just me. If you are particular with fuel consumption, are not interested in tweaking with cars or go off road a lot, then I suppose the new GLX-V would be the one for you. But if you're getting through financing, remember that you stand to lose a lot as compared to paying it all at one go. Sa interest palang talo ka na.

If its just the Egr that needs to be done, and no other problems are there I'd go with 3.2... Yeah in 2 years it'll be a dacade old, but I dont think it'll have suspension problems. Its a 4x4 ladder frame SUV made to tackle Off-road trails far worst than Metro Manila Roads... in short its built tough...all SUV's are.. thats the difference between SUV's vs. Cars or auv's.

But if he just wants the New car feel and FC is top priority (I doubt if the difference in FC is that Big). Go with the new 4x2

Get the gls v a/t. Power is better than the 3.2 4m41. More economical and with cruise control pa and ceiling Aircon paddle shifts etc.
