Kung lampas po ng konti sa budget niyo ang price ng isang sasakyan pero cash niyong kukunin, usually, natatawaran niyan. Itaon niyo rin pong bandang last week of the month kayo magbabayad kasi po yung mga ahente ay naghahabol ng quota sa mga panahon na iyan o kahit maka-isa lang para may benta sila. Yun nga lang, minsan depende rin po sa brand.

I'm considering paying in cash. Thanks for the tip. Hopefully, I will get a more substantial discount because of this. In that way, I can increase my budget a little to include the higher-end Tucson (Php 1.1M) and the Sportage as suggested by Starex_Gold.

Baliktad na ata sa panahon ngayon, pag financing ka mas malaki pwede ibigay na discount kasi pag cash definitely walang kikitain ang dealership
Pero nasa usapan yan between you and your agent

That's the same issue with the CR-V. The air intake snorkel is in the bumper under the headlight.
My take on it: If you flood your car because you don't know where the **** your air intake is, your own damn fault. And this is coming from someone who blew a Sentra engine in flood water. ( Dump truck coming the other way, bow wave pushed water into the snorkel).
When in doubt, don't. And you should always be in doubt.
The old Tucson, if I recall, had a hood level intake. The new one has it lower, with the box dipping below grille level.
None of these namby-pamby soft-roader crossovers are rated for water-fording, so you shouldn't actually drive them in a foot of water.
You don't buy a crossover to wade in floods. If you want a flood-worthy vehicle, you buy a pick-up truck or a true SUV. Or a Crosswind. Three feet of water? No problem-o.
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

September 16th, 2011 06:51 PM #18Onga eh, nahalata ko lang, the Escape is not good in floodwater fording. Which is perhaps why when Ford was showcasing the Escape's offroading capabilities with Beeboy Vargas, they ran it in everything the Ranger went through except the deep water crossings. Natirik yung '03 Escape namin once malapit sa may Dapitan. It seems that my aunt was too much in a hurry to get home and the engine sucked in water...

I'm now leaning towards the Tucson GL.
If I can swing it, I will try for the GLS or the Sportage.
You're right! Made a query kanina with both Kia and Hyundai. Very negligible to none ang discount pag cash. Sa Kia, halos walang freebies pa. Darn it.
It looks like if I want either the GLS or the Sportage, I need to cough up 200K more

Yun Tucson iX hood level parin ang air intake. Pati Sportage R.
I remember more than 1 foot yun nadaanan kong flood noon using the iX. It seems fine umabot ata sa fogs yung flood.
We got a pretty good deal dun sa Sportage, kaso financing. Kung gusto mo i-finance mo nalang yung kulang.
Kwento ng katrabaho ko, meron daw sya officemate dati na Italiano na tinanong daw bakit...
