Budget Crossovers

[CoDer]

i'll give it maybe another 15-20 years. with the amount of money the chinese have, if they will strive to develop good technology of their own instead of reverse-engineering only and copying (or, as people now say, sottoing) and just producing cheap non-durable goods, yeah maybe then i will buy a chinese car.

Nadali mo yebo.

[slapz]

okay, brought the wife to all the dealers in San Fernando Intersection, Laus Group naman lahat.
We looked at the Strada and the Lancer.
Focus, Fiesta, and Escape
The Haima7
The 2nd Hand Carens
The Chevrolet Sonic
The SX4 Crossover
The Kia Soul and Sportage

tinanong ko si wife kung ano gusto nia, Haima7. Actually, sa Haima lang sya nagtanong tanong. Gusto niya Sportage, pero too much na daw, pambirthday nalang daw ng Baby namin yung sobra.

Pero anlaki pala ng legroom ng Strada noh? Ehehe!

Got free Huper Optik tint from Haima7 as additional freebie if I decide till next week.

Ang argument ko lang sa wait muna bago bili ng Chinese Car na yan, is you can't take advantage of the price difference now. Tignan mo naman prices ng Kia at Hyundai ngayon, grabe.

one good tip sir Slapz...kung may kakilala kayo sa laus group,yung mga supervisors nila dun halos lahat ng service car nila haima..tanong tanong kayo sa kanila para malaman nyo kung papano ang PM at ano mga problema ng haima...

[renzo_d10]

Tingin ko ok lang ikaw bumili niyan Haima if i-keep mo lang for 5 years. Ingat ka lang pag nagddrive para di masyado ma-worn out iyon parts -- engine, suspension etc. Pati yun plastics sa loob, ingatan mo para di mag-chip out.

at kung may masisira at may equivalent japanese made part, then replace it with a jap. unti-unti magtra-transform yan, yung piki maging sakang.

[yapoy86]

800k plus din pala ito haima7 gas engine pa... avanza na lang or the best adventure GLX... diesel pa

[renzo_d10]

Ako rin, Adventure nalang. Or the best, Innova.

Yung Adventure GLS maporma na rin eh.

[pop3corn]

Hmm.. Ibang klasi din pala kayo mag-speculate and insinuate.

Part pa ako ng Laus Group ngayon? Tapos di pa ako mabuting tatay.

yebo and pop3corn, I do my research also, I don't just buy. Although malayo, I am a CPA, and a CFA Candidate, but at least it gives you the idea that I can basically do a Cost Benefit Analysis, and decisions are not entirely based on emotions.

So basically, yung mga gawang China na Buick, Mazda, Ford, or any for that matter is hindi matibay ang bakal, dahil wala silang bakal technology? Ganun ba yun?

If anyone is blinded, I think kayo ata yun. I have yet to make a decision, and you guys are talking that way. I wonder why. Ever had any experience with Chinese Cars?

By the way, ano kaya yung Boron Steel? Marupok kaya ito? Hmmm.. (sarcasm)

Okay sana kung sinasabi niyo na di maganda, is yung Haima brand mismo, kaso hindi eh, based kayo sa Chery or any other Chinese brand for that matter. If you can give me a negative feedback regarding Haima, then we can talk. I am looking for one actually, medyo nahihirapan akong maghanap. So if you could help me, that would be great.

Kung CPA ka, I don't see why can't you compute na 100K Lang difference nyan sa Kia Soul at Suzuki SX4 eh you still view it as a good investment.

nagtanong na ako Sir, Haima7 nga yung services ng mga Senior Managers, okay naman daw. Pero biased pa din naman sila. Although I asked someone, friend of a friend, little bearing pa rin.

Eh kayo, bakit di bumili ng Adventure? :D

[pop3corn]

Yes, si pop3corn yung tinutukoy ko na nag-sabi na taga Laus ako:

"obvious naman yebs, na mga salesperson Lang Ito mga NASA thread na to hehe."

Anyway, okay, sorry. Di mo nga sinabi na bad father ako.

What I don't like is you are throwing your opinions on a brand you haven't seen, tested, or drove, which I think is a bit unfair. You have to be particular, like glenn_duke, he's sharing his experiences with Chery Tiggo, and even saying na baka iba na yung Haima, because he haven't seen it yet.

You guys? The whole Chinese Car Industry = Junk, basis? Read or heard somewhere.

Wtf? Hindi mo pa binibile, emotional ka na kagad! Sabi ko nga sayo bilhin mo na, tapos u keep on yakking and yakking comparing and comparing dito sa thread, ilan pages na dito. it smells sales agent u know.

Umm, Ever heard of Time Value of Money, Opportunity Cost, at ang pinaka-simple is interest? Actually, 124K difference, 924K yung Kia Soul dito sa amin. That's about 3K higher monthly, and 30K downpayment. So maliit na difference pala yun? Aside from the lesser specs and smaller vehicle, and higher fuel consumption?

thank you sa pagdagdag sa thread.

You are accusing me of misrepresenting myself, eh ikaw nga, dami mong sinasabi iba iba. ahaha! Pakatino ka nga Sir. Dun ka sa mga kaibigan ng uncle mo.

Anyway, for mods, please just close this thread. Pinasukan na ng virus..

Maliit Lang yun instead of losing all your investment to a car that has potential of becoming junk, just like what happened to the Tiggo. If that car is priced 400k-500k, then that is a good speculative investment, tapos if it turned out durable, eh di okey kainin namin sinabi namin dito, bili din kami in the future.

Ganun na Lang sabihin mo sa boss mo sa laws group. Wala eh Ganun talaga, baguhan kayo so sacrifice and tiis muna for the first 5 or 10 yrs.

You know what, why not strip it down further, like one airbag na Lang, simple abs no ebd, no fogs, no rails, nothing fancy to keep the cost down. Feel nyo kase lugi kse kayo kse fully-loaded, just offer the most basic SuV package first, and price at half the entry tucson, let see how the market will respond

To TS, I think the replies of people here are the exact opposite of what your hearts tell you.

Just buy the haima car and enjoy it as much as you can. At least, if something happened to that car (knock on wood), you wouldn't blame anybody here because you follow what you really want, which is the haima, and not what the other forumers here tell you.

It's your money, you will be the one to use it, don't mind them. It's pretty obvious what you want, go for it. ( and tell us your experience with the car, keep us updated)

[renzo_d10]

Eh kayo, bakit di bumili ng Adventure? :D

Di ko kailangan ng malaking sasakyan.

All my cars are sedans. Pero ni isa sakanila walang China-made. :lol:

--

Btw, looks like you're already sold. Yun nalang then keep us updated kung kamusta performance like what rockiee_s did when he bought a Coolbear. Don't know if the Coolbear's still with him, he bought more known brands after his Chinese car purchase, a Ford, a Veloster etc. etc.

[Optimusprime]

yup tama sila d po namin kayo pwede diktahan dahil pera nyo yan..pero nagtanong po kayo opinion so do try na maging open din kayo sa critics and suggestion, taga pampanga rin po ako sir at sa laus din ako nagpapaservice ng auto ko,at maintainance nila is mahal talaga dahil na rin siguro sa waranty claims at yung labor cost nila is standardized sya all throughout sa lahat ng branches nila..haima rin service ni komander wala pa rin kaming nakikitang masama pero service car lang naman so okey lang..still i opted to buy a diffrent brand na family car namin w/c is the lancer ex.. yun lang po expirience ko dyan...naexcite ako nung nakita ko yung brochure ng ex plang from there on dko tinantanan si komander hangang nung nakita nya live yung auto. without hesitation napadown kami agad parang pinagdadaanan nyo rin ngayon hehehe..

[dct]

^ seriously, adevnture ang suited sayo. or innova. but if you're really into haima, go na. just buy it. dun ka magiging masaya e

[slapz]

Huwag kayong mabibigla kung bilang Lancer EX kinuha ko ah? :D

I actually like the Lancer EX. That's is why yun ang pinakita ko sa Asawa ko kanina, doon talaga kami nagtagal. Yun ang ininspect naming mabuti. Para makita nya na enough na yung Lancer EX for us. But no, she still likes the Haima7.

We will decide tomorrow, if we will go with the Lancer or the Haima7.

PS: There are opinions that are respectful, and there are those of pop3corn's, which are quite irritating. It's like "This is what I know, and like, you should like this, too." If you are talking about the brand, SA kana. Irritating.

[lowslowbenz]

Lancer or a Haima? Opposite ends of a stick. Sedan or SUV.

Goodluck on your decision, may it bring you happiness and fulfillment.
