After loooong months of jotting down what I need vs what I want, I came down to the 2 choice which is the Honda Mobilio 1.5 V CVT and the Toyota Avanza 1.3 E AT/MT. Nag agree din sa akin yun piggy bank ko for the 2 choices. hehehe... coz what I want is Innova or Grandea.. hindi kami nag agree ng piggy bank ko dun sa gusto ko..


Purpose of buying a car:
- Personal Use para sa amin ni bf. (Student permit pa lang meron ko, so mostly sya yun mag drive)
- Grab/Uber ni bf when I'm at work
- Sideline for Chinese tourists mainly pickup/drop off airport, Manila sightseeing, Casino hopping, food tripping.. maybe will throw in some Subic, Tagaytay or Baguio package. Pero hindi po eto madalas, siguro once or twice a month lang.

Kanina from my office to Toyota BGC I was able to hailed a Avanza taxi. Sabi ni kuya driver, 2002 model pa yun Avanza nya. Matipid daw sa gas and matibay naman. Syempre wala naman Honda Mobilion taxi for me to compare, pero parang medyo sold na ako kay Avanza..so sa mga car experts dito, please help me out on the pros and cons.

Questions...
- Bakit ang mahal pa rin ng Avanza 1.5 ni Toyota compared kay Honda Mobilio 1.5? Avanza Daihatsu na lang nga yun.
- If I go for Avanza 1.3 for the purpose above, mas okay ba kung Automatic na lang kunin ko? sabi nila mas malakas daw at mas mabilis yun matic kesa sa manual.
- When is the best time to buy? Ber months na ngayon and 3 more months mag 2017 na. Meron na ba 2017 mode si Avanza coming out soon para bumaba na presyo ni 2016.
- Ano pa mga freebies besides the normal ones advertise pwede ko ask kay agent? The more freebies the merrier.


Last question.
I saw Toyota and Honda offer TRACKING DEVICE. Sa Toyota yata 50k yun tracking device nila. If someone steal my car (let's hope not), will they know kung saan po nakatago yun tracking device? How does the tracking device work? Yun kausap ko na agent sa Toyota BGC kanina medyo hindi masyado alam sa mga security questions ko eh..kaya dito na lang ako ask sa mga car experts.

Thanks!
