Dahil yung Vito luma na, yung Foton naman dahil Chinese made car

If you're gonna own one, make sure you have deep pockets and a lot ... of patience.

bumili ka na lang ng MPX tapos review mo dito para malaman namin kung ok na China vehicles

I will buck the trend and get the MPX...

Iba pa rin yung bago maskin China yan. A 10 year old MB ain't cheap to maintain and operate. At least yung China I am sure madali lang parts nya, plentiful and cheap!

Kung bibili man ako ng Chinese at least Foton is the top of the heap in the Chinese brands and Great Wall...

pero made in china lang dala mo tapos wala kang karespe-respeto sa roads

kung Vito wow chedeng, di ka paparahin basta-basta, as well tingin sayo mataas

^ Actually, hindi rin. Yung wow factor ay kadalasan nakukuha ng sedan na benzes at SUV's. Pero van ? I dont think so.

Nag-iba nanaman yung way of thinking ni OB ...

Pag na-ban yan, iba nanaman kotse niya pagbalik. Euro naman.

Euroboot ...

Tapos obviously, magmmake believe yan si OB na yung kotse niya yung THE BEST. Pinaka-practical etc. etc.

Yung older Benz hindi naman nakakatakot kasi simple ang construction, dami replacement parts. Yung trim parts lang ang mahal pag nasira. Yung isa kong gamit kasi 1977 na Benz diesel. Tapos yung engine niya ay relative ng engine na gamit sa MB100, Musso, Korando, etc. kaya madami parts.

Itong 'newer' models ang nakakatakot. hehehe. Itong 220CDI ba ng Vito ay hindi din yung gamit sa mga Benz sedans? Yun nga lang may ECU, CRDi, etc. na ito so I guess talagang mas mahal. Pero kung kapareho ng sa sedans, at least may replacement parts na.

Yung Foton MPX saan ba ito kinopya? Para kasing Toyota yung rear compartment especially yung rear a/c na may cabin lamps sa gilid ng airvents. Ganun ang Toyota eh.

officemate of mine used to have a Vito-L.

alternator and a/c broke at the same time, cost him near 80T to have the parts imported here via CATS yata, including some special tools to remove both assemblies. everything was imported because there are no VW parts here...

i would probably just get a starex. or a pregio 3.0 automatic.
