    [SIZE=3]Bro Yuichi, yes I guess na mas maganda resale value ng isuzu comparing sa Korean vehicles but in SF in particular, di pa ko nakakakita ng second hand nito, malamang the owners are still enjoying their rides.[/SIZE]

    [SIZE=3]BPI doesn’t approve loans for second hand Korean vehicles. (Ito ang mali sa first message ko. Di ko nilagyan ng SECOND HAND Korean vehicles – pasyensya na guys) Ito experience ko dati nung balak ko ibenta yung Starex namin. Anyway, i-confirm ko na lang ulit pagbalik ko dyan kung pumapayag na sila ng loan for second hand Korean vehicles.[/SIZE]

    [SIZE=3]Regarding the durability of your Santa Fe, it’s good to know na okay pa rin ang performance at depende na lang siguro sa gamit. Dito kasi sa desert, rough ang roads at ang bilis pa mag-patakbo mga tao dito. Nakaka 80 kph sila at safe pa raw yun. Hehe. [/SIZE]

    [SIZE=3]God Bless to all![/SIZE]

    No worries dude! sorry too if i sounded too defensive.

    i was just personally surprise re: Banks not approving loans for Korean cars.
    2nd hand car, pede pa nga. but IMO not only for Korean cars yon, but all others as well, depending on specific car's condition.

    cheers guy!

    Between the two. Of course Hyundai Santa Fe. It is built, designed and being released for International market. Alterra is released only in some Asian countries including the Phils(I don't know why?)And I'm not sure if crash test has been done on Alterra.

    I was in Houston, Texas for 2 weeks and I've noticed a number Santa Fe roaming around the city. A chance that strikes me to consider this unknown Korean SUV.
    After a series of research and Test Drives(Alterra,Fort,Everest)my dilemna on choosing for an affordable SUV ended only after my test drive on Hyundai Santa Fe crdi.

    Peace and Merry Christmas to All!

    We were already leaning for Alterra but we have to wait one month or more to have the unit we wanted - 4x2 Peral Silver MT. Sa sobrang excitement namin, di na kami makapagantay so we settled on the Santa Fe kasi may stock daw agad.

    Ang edge talaga ni Alterra over Santa Fe are:
    - Space
    - Gadgets / 5.1
    - Better Fuel Efficiency
    - Ladder Frame

    Edge naman ni SF over Alterra:
    - Looks (Internal and External)
    - Power
    - All Disc Brakes
    - VGT

    My only complain on our SF is what robert rpn has mentioned - angingay sa ilalim kapag nalulubak. I compare this to our Company Service na Isuzu Croswind XUV. And medyo malakas sya sa Fuel especially on City Driving.

    Pero pag long distance driving naman, ok ang efficiency ni SF.
    Nagpa-full tank ako sa may Petron Araneta Ave then I drove to Clark Economic Zone then back to Manila. Ayon nasa Full pa din ung Fuel Level parang ndi gumalaw.


    sir nels! mukhang bumyahe ka na ah! hehehe! ilang kilometers po tinakbo mo? sa alterra 200 kilometers muna takbo mo bago gumalaw fuel guage nya. medyo OT.

    Ndi pa ko nakakabyahe pareng ressie.
    That trip to Clark was on November 2
    Galing ako sa Big Bert's Araneta that day.
    Pina-new paint protection ko si Santa Fe and maaga pa naman non kaya sabi ko drive muna ako sa Clark Economic Zone.

    Nagpa-full tank ako sa Petron sa Araneta bago mag A. Bonifacio then i reset the Trip Meter to Zero. As far as I can remember, the travel logged a distance of 180kms. This is 98% NLEX. Then ikot ikot ako sa loob ng Clark Economic Zone then back to Manila via NLEX uli.

    When I arrived home sa Manila, halos ndi umalis mula sa "F" ung needle.

    I think Alterra can beat that even not on highways. Alam naman natin mataas ang fuel efficiency pag expressway eh.

    If you're gonna ask me, am happy with my Sta. Fe! kahit nga sa city driving eh matipid sa gas! Yung third row mukhang di ako magpapasakay ng tao kase medyo nga maliit ang space! Pero syempre, iba pa rin ang Veracruz! (hehehehehe - sorry po medyo OT)

    P1200 ang inabot. Kasama na Vacuum sa cabin.

    Ung Optiguards mas-mahal then quarterly ata you have some additional sessions pa and additional cost. Check the Big Bert's Thread.

    Okay lang bro.

    Bro, Hindi talaga sila pumapayag dati kahit maganda pa condition ng sasakyan. Pwede lang sila mag-paloan ng korean vehicles dati kapag brand new but kung 2nd hand na, kahit maganda ang condition ay di sila payag. Sa akin no accident pa at smooth pa ang paint ng Starex ko pero di talaga pinayagan.

    Anyway bro, just confirmed with my colleague today that they are now allowing loans of second hand Korean vehicles yun nga lang 5 YEARS and below lang. If ever na above na sa 5 years, they will not approve the loan anymore. Don't worry bro, i-confirm ko rin to sa BPI personally pagbalik ko dyan.

    If ever na totoo nga ito, makaka-apekto ito sa re-sale value ng korean vehicles.

    Viewers, please do help kung may experiences kayo similar to this.

    Thanks!
