    Sir, can you post your dealer branch para di na bumili ibang tsikoters dun.
    Cash ba to sir or hulugan?
    Did you try to take your complain to Toyota main in Sta Rosa?
    I know a friend na may complain sa camry nya (brand new) na di rin maaksyonan ng dealer, pero pinalitan ng Main. Takot din sila sa demanda lalo na pag poor quality ang pinag uusapan.

    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.

    Got my civic * honda fairview, delivered to my house in pasig. I always thought normal yun since our other previous purchases nasa 50 to 100 kms ang odometer upon delivery.

    When I got my Fortuner from the dealer kinabukasan ko na lang napansin na ung speedometer and odo was not functioning so I got back to the dealer and connected it underneath the unit and resetted the computer. Didnt bother to ask why I just know that they drive it from the plant to the dealership and so disconnecting it would not accumulate mileage. Nakakasabay ko minsan mga convoy of brand new cars with no plates from Sta. Rosa north bound from different car companies sa SLEX especially on Sundays. As I was reading this thread Ive come to think if my unit was a demo but when I inspected my unit when it was released and noticed that it was not used cause the tires are new, matting are clean, no hand prints everyhere, foot prints arent visible on the sides of the door which usually are soiled during my PMS at the dealership sputtered with grease. And the last thing that came to my mind that it wasnt a demo unit because my dealer doesnt cater test drives (for all I know).

    100 kms of highway driving won't destroy tires, or gather enough wear to mark the tires, unless you hit debris. But for all we know, there's a couple of sets of tires rotating around just for deliveries, so that showroom vehicles receive pristine tires for the dealership floor.

    I received my Ford with 40 kms on it. 30 of those were from the test drive we performed before signing the papers for the sale. Needless to say, those were very happy kilometers.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
