    Help choose a car CRV or Adventure or APV or Avanza?
    patulong po sir

    ito po kasi pagpipilian

    1. mitsubishi adventure gs sport 2.0L automatic (white) all stock, in good condition 250k last price, good a/c , power steering, windows, 3 row seats

    2. honda crv 99 model 1st gen automatic 2.0L (either white or green) all stock, in very good condition, 265k last price, good a/c, 2 row seats but big trunk space when folded down, and a little bit sossy look than revo or adventure

    3. toyota avanza 08 model 360k 1.3j 3 row seats, champagne color, all stock, in good condition, good a/c, newer model, but this is the most basic in terms of trim, etc kasi j model

    all are around 60-70k kms mileage
    all i can afford is a 50% dp for (1) and (2) and around 30% dp for (3), kaya ko lang nasa 120-130k max na dp mas ok nga kung maliit lang, and 7k plus na bayarin monthly max of 2-3 yrs

    kasi medyo old na ung units (1) and (2) , galing sa dealers, baka 50%dp, and 24mos to pay, ung (3) naman e personal owned so ako pa mismo hahanap ng financing dito kung meron man


    4 last choice is APV GA MT ung pinakabasic na APV 2011-12 model nasa 28k dp at 14,900 mo for 60mos, or 38k dp at 14090 mo for 60mos, plus almost 26k na comprehensive insurance for the next 4 yrs, so suma tutal aabot ng 900k ++ kasi packaged with TV, etc, pero GA to so its Manual and basic trim ung parang truck plus doble presyo ng car insurance nito

    ito pa consideration
    a. babae magdridrive (misis ko)
    b, maaring ibenta ko din after 3 to 6 years
    c. lalagyan ng mga gamit like photobooth, stroller, tv, screen, table, etc so pede pangkarga, pero pede rin pamasyal
    d. di naman mahirap idrive, at di naman pangit ang itsura kasi babae magdridrive so medyo mas maselan sa itsura at paggamit

    e. (akin lang to) siempre ung kaya ng bulsa at mura bayaran kasi ako magbabayad


    + meron ding ibang choices pero medyo di na nasa shortlist
    a. serena (parang mahal parts nito)
    b. ung mini van ng chevrolet (pero V6 ito )
    c. revo (pero medyo di namin sya gusto)

    other info

    used 2yrs to pay vs bnew 5 yrs to pay

    comprehensive insurance of second hand around 11k needed only for 2 yrs vs bnew comprehensive around 26k needed for 5 yrs

    used 120-130k dp vs bnew 28 to 38k dp

    total cash out after everything fully paid

    crv and adventure around 310-320k so interest paid is around 40-50k max

    for avanza i dont know yet hahanap pa ko ng mag aaprove

    for apv a 550k bnew unit will cost me almost 1 million after 5 yrs

    naisip ko mura nga dp nya nasa 28-38k lang pero kakainin naman ng monthly amortization at ang tagal, 5 yrs to pay. kung mabenta ko man un after 5 o 6 yrs panigurado nasa 50-60% of the value na lang makukuha ko meaning nasa 250-300k na lang so talo ako ng at least 500-600 thousand agad...

    kung second hand naman, (1) and (2) ung 250-260k na price, interest nya nasa 40-50k lang after 2 years so ang monthly nya kalahati lang nsa 7k plus lang for 24 months, at kung maisipan ko man ibenta siguro talo ko lang nasa 50k kung sakali re resale, at kung masira man di naman siguro aabot ng 500k un, dami naman surplus na makina, transmission, etc so medyo ready na din sa sira kung sakali

    ung avanza mukhang ok pero di ko pa natry maghanap ng banko magfifinance sa isang seller na personal owner so papakiusapan ko pa na intayin ako vs other buyers, iaasess pa ng bangko, iaaprove pa o idedeny di ko alam


    ung adventure and crv mga top of the line models un na automatic, ung avanza at ung apv un ung mga basic models lowest of the line

    I'd go with the newest which is either the Avanza. Less headaches, just do some servicing and it's good to go.

    Forget about the Serena and Chevy Venture as these will eat up your cash in service, fuel and repairs.

    I have a Revo, a GSX 2.0L EFi in particular. And in terms of space, it's pretty much similar with the Adventure.

    A relative of mine also has a 2000 Honda CR-V, it rides well. But it gulps fuel, not as worse as the 2nd gen ( 02-06 ) but you get the point.

    Though the newest, I find the Avanza too basic. If I remember it right, 1.3J Avanza's come in manual only. So given 2 choices that are automatics, I would definitely pick the first two than the last for the sole reason of I would want to be more comfortable when driving.

    It's a toss up between the CR-V and the Adventure. Have your wife sit on the driver's side, probably let her take the car on few spins too and let her decide which of two would she prefer. I like the CR-V though. I think it's shorter, and it's good in terms of appearance.

    I vote for APV lalo na kung may budget ka to sustain for 5yrs financing!
    Cargo capacity is better, at di pa worry Mrs mo pag drive for the hassle versus sa second hand.
