Altis 1.6V or 1.8V?

[carlo_41786]

Hello everyone!

We're planning to get an Altis sometime soon. We have already inquired at Toyota Alabang, and the 1.6V looked like a good package overall. But they're still selling the soon-to-be phased out 1.8V at a largely discounted price, probably just to "get rid" of the units. We're not anymore considering the 2.0V because it's already expensive.

After the "first round" of negotiations with the sales agent:

The 1.6V has 15K discount, and has free LTO registration and insurance. Monthly payment for 3 years will be Php22,195; Php14,883 for 5 years.

The 1.8V has 50K discount, and also has free LTO registration and insurance. Monthly payment for 3 years will be Php25,340; Php16,992 for 5 years.

After discounts and all other shizz, the 1.8V will only be Php85,000 more expensive than the 1.6V (Php985,000 and Php900,000, respectively). This has given us a dilemma, since for less than Php100K, we'll be getting a more powerful and upscale car that's really a big upgrade from our 1995 Corolla XE.

My concern is, which do you think is the better buy, basing on the deal package and specs of the car? Is the 1.8V still worth buying considering that it will be completely phased out soon?

All comments and opinion will be greatly appreciated!

Magkano naman down nyan sir? thanks.

Go for the 1.8V, since they are going to sell them at relatively low price you may want to ask for additional discount and freebies from you SA if you want to purchase this particular unit.

go for more power/displ. unless wala kang plan mag pasahero ng madami or dumala ng madaming gamit.
