October 26th, 2006 06:53 PM #24spare parts are also expensive
Comparing a Sentra to a Vios is not exactly apples to apples. The Sentra is competes in the next size class. The only reason these two probably meet is because the subcompact Vios is priced closed to the Sentra (subcompact cars at compact prices, what a deal!) and because Nissan still offers a wide variety of engines for its Sentra compact sedan (1.3, 1.6, 1.8).
i never saw a kia taxi survived too...
Btw, I'm not affiliated with any vehicle manufacturer nor any taxi company. I'm just stating my views on the matter.

m not a toyota dealer hahahaha nah... thats too much..
as i said visit iloilo and see for yourself.. you will be surprise with what you see here...
why not talk to taxi drivers for feedback... ride one... get their views.. after all, they will be the 1 driving the taxicab and paying the rent.. they are the customers...
as i said earlier, call Bong Suntay... the operator of Basic Taxi and president of taxi association in Manila.. He is using toyota corolla but he bought nissan recently too...
running a taxi business is no joke... you need to consider the cost of maintenance after 2 years... thats the expense part.. you need to consider how much the drivers are willing to pay for rent.. thats the income part.. if your taxicab will have a high consumption rate the drivers will most likely pay a lesser rental.. sayang...
for rio... well i dont trust kia... vios 1.3j cost P 558000 as per my latest inquiry... why go for kia then?? you dont need automatic windows and locks for taxicabs.. they are added maintenance in the future...
if you decide to call Bong Suntay.. just give my regards.. tell him joseph from Iloilo..

by the way, drivers preference on type of cars to be used as taxicab counts... but its not really a deciding factor...

Even our current driver is an ex-taxi driver. He earned more as a cabbie but the risks of the job were becoming too much for him. And he's not exactly bending backwards for Toyota.
As I've said, maintenance is inexpensive not because Toyota parts are cheap, but because there are numerous third party spare parts manufacturers playing the market. Taxi cabs aren't even serviced by Toyota dealers. They make up the bulk of people I see at Cruven and Mang Mario.
It's not surprising to see a lot of Toyota cabs on the road today. You can sell them on blind faith alone. I already asked a cabbie why he drives a Yota. 'Toyota kasi' is the only reason he could give. :lol:
why go for kia then

For minimum/daily wage earners, sayang yung extra day. Last night in the news there was one would...
