Planning to aquire a 2002-UP model ng Pick-Up,
Preferably a 4x4 but ok din na 4 x 2.
Budget is less than 500K
Diesel but efficient and good engine
Fuel efficient in its class
Low Maintenance Cost.
Medyo sporty and yet pang workhorse..
Frontier / Ranger, trekker/ Strada / Isuzu / Toyota

I know how you feel. I had this same dilema before because I needed a workhorse for my business. Same criteria I might add.
My first choice was the Strada but then got discouraged with its thirsty engine which also felt underpowered at certain rpms. I liked the Frontier that my brother-in-law tried to sell to me but then even he was complaining of how expensive Nissan parts are.
I ended up getting an Isuzu Fuego although at that time it sold for about 580k but was in great condition. Super economical on diesel and the parts won't cost you an arm and a leg.

I've had a 98 fuego before and it was very fuel efficient but, i didn't like the noise and the black smoke. we also had a 4X2 2000 frontier and its the one we kept because it has a powerful engine and FC is 14-16 kms/l, strong a/c. and also, my current ride is a 2001 4X4 AT frontier...

I had a 4x4 A/T 2002 frontier and it was not fuel efficient. I was only getting 6-7kms/L and 80% highway pa yun. The power of the engine is inadequate for an A/T so mahirap mag-overtake kaya siguro malakas sa diesel. Malakas din ang shift shock nung A/T. Mahal pa maintenance kasi ang laki ng engine (maraming oil kailangan). Pero kung meron sanang 3.2 na M/T at 4x4, pwede na. Mura pa.
If you have a budget of 500k dapat ang vehicle ay 450k or less. You should allot 50k for possible repairs.

July 21st, 2007 06:03 PM #10Ranger is too expensive for you the price range is 1M and above...
For your limited budget the only alternative for you is a Nissan Frontier 2.7E
Unless,you'd settle for pre-owned....
