Best Second Hand Van under 300K

[armscor40]

tenxs for the replies bros, this helps...

right now i'm still searching for the right vehicle...regardless of brand as long as the factors are met...

starex w/ crdi engine is no no based on experience...expensive parts & labor

toyota or nissan maybe...scout for more...not gasoline engine costly ang fuel , diesel is preferred...

We had a 1995 Hiace Commuter back in the day, it lasted us about 10years and a little more than 100,000km mileage and its still one of the best van we ever owned, the only thing that broke down I remeber is the A/C cooling coil on the 7th year. Eto lang ang van na nagamit ko na hindi mainit ang singaw ng makina sa drivers seat kahit medyo luma na. We only sold it because we wanted an A/T van at that time and it was replaced by a Starex GRX TCI which was also trouble free

thanks sir ronw123w124, you have a good experience with your Hiace Commuter and a little or trouble free van that last for years i already saw and browse several vehicle like this & seems good price pa din cya for less than 300k...

for the Starex, i have 2006 GRX CRDI that serves me for 8 years before it broke down, actually on the 6th year she already show signs of emitting black smoke on the tailpipe & oil in the dipstick but i disregard it knowing it can repaired for top overhauling only...good for initial years of use but medyo pricey ang maintenance aside from labor na when the mechanic ask what is the engine mahal agad ang service charge saying complicated ang engine and all sorts of alibis para lang magprice ng mataas na labor...anyway i heard maganda feedback sa TCI altho underpowered but its not its purpose we want her but the utilization is our main concern, good choice for your family sir ron...

you can't go wrong with a toyota (honest fanboy statement)
if tight talaga budget, last version diesel toyota revo is still good.

nissan medyo mahal parts in the long run

sir armscor, for me since you already have a grx starex, you might want to try the second gen tci model. yes aminado nman na medyo mahal talaga price for maintenance for that engine pero based on my experience, mas mura for the tci model. for comparison, we also have a 2005 toyota super grandia local and mahal din parts nya yun lang matibay talaga at tumatagal.
