sir kaya nga po sinasabi din namen sa customer na ung unit mismo nung monday na pinakita namen sa kanya is yun na din yung unit na ibibigay namen sa thursday. and yes tinanung po nung customer bkt hindi gumagana ung speedometer. sinabi po namen ung reason namen na baka kc mapagkamalan na demo unit un. ok naman sa kanya nung delivery namen nung thursday wala naman sya naging reklamo.

Hindi ba mas mapagkakamalang demo unit kung hindi nakakabit ang speedometer? Kasi parang may tinatago pag hindi nakakabit.

tama si sir niky, only a few manufacturers have car carriers. And most of the brand new cars grabe ihataw sa south superhiway,sometimes i just shake my head and pity those people at the receiving end of those vehicles. Cars are pretty expensive nowadays and yung iba nga todo kayod para lang makabili ng brand new car. Malamang yung innova na nabili and passed on as "brand new" ay shuttle ng mga staff or worse yun ang dinidisplay sa mga malls as demo units. Saan mo ba nakuha yung unit mo?

Its very bad to know that you have been deceived and your brand new unit has been drive-tested by a number of people already. Tsk-tsk. Saving all that hard-earned money thinking about the honor and prestige that you'll be the first ever on its seat.

So, better pala kung sa Batangas Dealers kumuha kasi they're shipping all of these cars/vans/suv's to the Batangas City Port? Agapan na kaagad, di ba?

ganito lang yan eh, sa dami ng SM Malls including Greenhills, Ayala, Robinson and others, tapos maglalagay ang Toyota/Hyundai/Honda/Suzuki etc ng demo units sa bawat mall na ito ... that's more than 10 malls, hence more than 10 demo units sabay-sabay

for 1.5M per car, that's 15M worth of demo unit na automatically become as "used" category. highly doubt that dealers can afford such a move ...

so whether we like or not, some of us are driving cars that were once demo units. usually, the demo unit might be the cleanest car in the inventory hehehe no way of knowing, just pray or keep your fingers crossed ...

basta dont do unto others o wag masyado metikoloso, you'll be fine.

sir sa experience ko po kc nangyari ito last week lang. hindi naman napagkamalan na demo unit ung dala namen pero tinanung din nung buyer kung bakit hindi gumagana. after explaining to her ung reason namen wala nman sya reklamo. at pagkatapos nung demo sinabi na din namen na ung unit na iyun na din ang makukuha nya samen. ok lang din naman sa kanya. sinabi naman namen na kung ayaw nya nung unit na yun is o order kame ng ibang unit sa distributor pero sya na din ang tumanggi kasi nagmamadali na sya

What if the potential buyer changes his/her mind at magdecide na ibang color or model and kuhanin? Then the TRUE mileage of the car won't be known to its eventual owner kse inalis nyo connection sa odometer. In short, the odometer won't reflect the true mileage of the car. Di ba panloloko sa consumers yan?

if its a demo/test drive unit then the dealer should mark it as so, and give a discount to the customer. Now its up to the customer if they want to get the car or not.

AFAIK demo units are LTO registered and with plate numbers. Well taht was what i noticed when I bought my 06 civic. They have a separate demo car. When my car was delviered the odometer reading was 77 kms. 129 kms is not high for a brand new car. toyota has a test track where in they drive the car as hard as race car drivers para kung may deffect man ay lumabas agad.

Regarding your fuel consumption, kung matic yan and your route is around metromanila I think its normal. Try to drive it sa highway and compute the fuel consumption by using the old school method. Full tank mo sagad sa takip then reset the trip meter. gamitin for around 100 to 200 kms. then pa full tank ulit sagad sa takip ulit. Trip meter reading divided by the number of liters na naikarga on your 2nd karga you get a more accurate value.

Kung manual yan mejo malakas nga, since my office mate gets 9-10 kms/L combided city and hiway driving. He has a m/t 2.0 vvti

77 kms on a brand new car? That's quite alot and to think Honda uses car carriers to transport their vehicles from the plant to the dealers.

Got my Toyota from the Ortigas dealer and the mileage was 55 kms. Keep in mind, this unit came from Thailand and all. Toyota does not seem to use car carriers.
