hmm...for 130k, i think you can also consider korean vans -- kia pregio, hyundai grace, etc. ...i think medyo subok na rin sila -- they seem to be a favorite among the vans for hire here(though lately, pansin ko parang kumokonti na siya; most vans i see now are either the earlier HiAce version or Urvan. Curiously wala ako masyadong nakikitang L300 na ginagawang van for hire. Anyways, going back...) Please do a search on korean vans here in tsikot, parang me narinig kasi ako na "nagkacrack" ung engine ng korean vans

For 130k kasi, i think you'll only be able to get the older models...i'd go for the L300 -- this is based solely on the availability of parts. Di ko sure kung marami pa bang mapag kukuhanan ng parts for the vanette...on the other hand they are still selling brand new L300's, so kalat na kalat siguro ang piyesa.

Please do bear in mind the pet peeve of L300 owners/drivers: the driver's seat gets real hot. Nasa ilalim kasi ata ung engine, and there isn't enough insulation. Sinasapin na lang ng karton....although with that line of thought, pwede rin siguro ung foam insulation na mabibili sa Ace. Crude, but it should work.


pag 9 members, parang bitin pag AUV; you can just barely fit 9 people in one, di pa kasama ug bagahe.
