[HELP!] 2nd hand SUV for my 1st car.

[jaydelion]

This is my 2nd thread. I want to re-post my situation

1. Budget range: 400-600K
2. Preferred model year: 2005-2011. (I think I can never find any car from 2012-2013 model with my budget.)
3. Maintenance expense (replace of engine oil, gas, parking, etc... Please give me a range per month if you can)
4. Power: I've experienced some cars (of my family) that its engine wasn't stable. I even stopped in the middle of the road and I was panicking. I don't want that to be happened. So prolly strong engine would be my preference as well.
5. Either gasoline or diesel is okay but I don't want fuel-sucker type of car like 4km/L

My first choice was Xtrail and the next was Everest.
And I'm also considering other cars like Tucson, Sportage, and Rav4.

Can you please help me? Or at least share your experience with those cars I mentioned? Especially Maintenance and Power Since I'm still a student, maintenance is the most important part

If you don't want a gas guzzler, take the xtrail out of the choices.

Everest... May saying na "kung Ford oto mo, can afFORD ka." means mahal pyesa ng Ford.

Tucson and sportage are ok suvs but ill take the rav 4 from the choices.

If plan mo mag CASA maintenance, avoid siguro yung Hyundai, mahal ng servicing costs ng casa nila.

[glenn manikis]

tucson diesel...

good power, very efficient 10-12km/liter on city driving, and within your price range...

parts you can get it at fronte in banawe or goodgear in pasay its a lot cheaper there....

I don't want to go to service center like every month

That's why maintenance is important. Is Tucson durable?

Why? Is Japanese car servicing cost cheaper than Korean car?

It's not Korean cars. It's just HARI.. Tuscon CRDi namin every 5k/3months yung maintenance tapos nakaabot 6k yung oil change, synthetic oil ang gamit. 1 year old pa lang ata :/

kasi ma'am buwaya ang hyundai-hari pag dating sa maintenance. mataas presyo ng parts and oil, daming tasks na hindi naman needed (e.g., a P550 car wash for example).

What are the reasons why you go for Rav4 among the choices?

I just read about Rav4 and Xtrail comparisons and they said Rav4 is much more durable? I really don't want to bring a car to service center frequently just because it has a problem and I have to spend extra money for it.

Hi Sir, have you own a Ford vehicle? I own both 2009 and 2010 Escape/CRV. I find the CRV parts much expensive than Escape regardless if the parts are from banawe or casa. Maybe you're referring to US made ford vehicles like the old explorer and expedition. Mahal talaga mya pyesa nun.

On topic:
Cross out the X-Trail and RAV4 sir. They are both gas guzzler. Perhaps a 1st gen Tucson is qualified on your price range and criteria. Just look for a pristine condition. Good luck!

If you really wanna have the cheapest maintenance/fuel economy you can get an innova or a crosswind.
If neither of those two cars have any appeal for you, a previous generation tucson diesel (dont go to the casa anymore) or a previous generation diesel sorento are your best bets.
Escape is a good choice but it hovers at around 6-8km/l, but you can get an almost new model for 600k

Does it really have to be an SUV? You can get a new Vios, previous gen. accent diesel, or a focus diesel. All 3 of these cars will consume far less than any SUV mentioned above and will cost much less to maintain (except the focus. but that makes it up with stunning fuel economy)

get the Xtrail or Rav4, pero habol mo mas bago makukuha mo mas malaki chance dun sa xtrail dahil sa resale value mababa and kung reliablity un issue almost same lang yan nasa pag-aalaga na yan, sympre kunin mo mas fresh na unit, performance between sa 2 Xtrail wins

[weisshorn]

My own opinion lang po..
kuha ka ng 1st gen crdi tucson model. Believe me di ka magsisi. May power and speed cia na di ka basta basta mapahiya, fuel economy far better than escape or RAV 4. napakamura lang ng maintenance outside casa. Ingat lang sa pag pili baka flood victim. Happy hunting.

From the choices, proven na kasi spare parts and durability ng rav 4. Sa spare parts ng Nissan lagi buong assembly unlike sa rav 4 na pwede na palitan kung bushing lang ang problem.

Sa Ford kasi I've seen a friends escape spend more than 100k sa suspension, and some parts sa engine. If you ask me, medyo mabigat Para sa bulsa ko. Aside from that, from different mechanics and shop owners, medyo hirap sila sa Ford. I would rather get a car na mas familiar mga mechanics in the long run.

[romeocharlie]

Ano bang power iniisip mo? Will you haul something?

I think di naman nagkakalayo ang xtrail at rav4 sa fuel economy... I'd rather pick the tucson, huwag ka na lang magpa-maintenance sa casa..
