At first we want the MU X, but toyota's sale is very tempting

Innova e dsl AT 71k dp 26478 per month
MUX ls AT 199k dp 26,570 per month

Thanks in advance!
I purchased 2 vehicles recently. One is a 2019 Nissan Navara AT (via bank PO) on November 2018 and a 2020 Honda BRV last October 7 (full payment). You might ask why 2019 Navara bought on 2018? Well, my OR/CR shows that it is a 2019 Navara even though I bought it at the end of 2018 for purposes of getting a higher value if I decide to sell it. The BRV of course is the new 2020 model that just came out.

My advice is to get a an offer or quotation from multiple dealers and see what is best including the freebies, don't rush into it, lest you regret the purchase. There are a lot of FB groups for those units that you are looking for and you might want to post there and ask for best offers and quotations. I actually had more than a dozen agents sending me offers and I reviewed and scrutinized who had the best one. You should demand a signed quotation to make sure that you get all the freebies and/or add-ons that they promised you.

Kapag kinakausap ko nga 'yung ilang mga ahente, pinapakita ko pa nga 'yung offer nung ibang ahente at tinatanong ko kung kaya nilang tapatan. Sa bandang huli, nababawasan 'yung listahan ko ng mga dealerships na may best offer at maayos kausap. Until I have a short list where I can base my decision on.

I've actually compared those two cars that you are considering myself. If you base it on "looks" (subjective), the mu-X wins hands down in my opinion. If you need ground clearance, the mu-X also wins in that category. But that's about it, in almost all other aspects, the Innova wins. If you need a REAL 7-seater, a more powerful engine, among other things, and if you need a family car (as well as value at the 1.3M price point) I'd say buy the Innova.
