1998 tamaraw FX GL (top of the line): Php 165

and

1997 isuzu highlander SL (entre level): Php185

both are in good condition.

i hope you could shed some light, thanks in advance

FX ako. ToTL eh.

Tamaraw GL. Why would you buy something low end pag used (unless customizing is included on the costs) parang nanghinayang ka dun.

But it's just personal preference.

Isuzu ako because of is cheaper and more durable engine. Good for business IMO.

Did you consider the L300?

Whoops. Sorry, didn't notice that it will be used for business purposes.

Either of the two would be okay. Get whichever will be cheaper & whichever is maintained well.

They've already proven their durability throughout the years anyways. The Toyota being used commonly as passenger vans & the Hi-lander being used as official services, business loads carrier etc. etc.

Both are relatively cheap to maintain, just do frequent oil changes ( scheduled oil changes .. ) & check-ups and it will be alright.

Pwede. For hauling stuff ( FB ) or for hauling people ( VV )

Hilander. 2.5L direct injection 4JA1 engine, period. The FX has got no chance on this one.

Isuzu Highlander is a good choice, durable, tough, low maintenance and it is already proven and the matter that make it win in this comparison is "it is more fuel efficient than tamaraw FX"

just a reminder and question, yung tamaraw FX GL ba e yung gas variant yung 7k engine? naku brader, mag Isuzu ka na nga lang, gas guzzler yun, the diesel FX is a good one, like those FX taxi's roving in baguio city most of them are converted into a diesel engine, better to stay away in gas variant FX, yung kita mo baka sa fuel lang mapunta

another good suggestion, like what they said is the Mitsubishi L300 FB/VV. + for me.
