Sir dr. d

Medyo vague po ang question ko po dito,

Instead of 2 vehicles (van & pvv suv) halos di rin naman po nagkakalayo yung price differences,

1 Exclusive SUV na po..

Saka ang father ko po, merong vertigo at senior na, sanay sa M/T.. marunong po sa AT, pero bihira mag-drive ng AT, kasi inaantok po sya.

Due to space garage..




Sir GTi,

Between LC150 V6 & Y62, Go na po sa Y62, sadly kung merong lang crawl control ang LC150 V6, panalo na po ito.
(complete features)

Kung diesel version, naka GD lang ang LC150, at merong crawl control ang AT at 6speed.. Good na po ito.

Anytime, Get the MT version, since lack of amenities naman... mas mababa ang pricing at yung long term maintenance.

Priorities: Drop 2 vehicles, (currently merong 2 vehicles ngayon) Get 1 vehicle, Paupahan ang mga nabiling parking slot sa condo..

Budget: Loan naman po ito, 1.8M ang DP.. (unlike sa real-estate[condo in 2013-2014], pwede i-stretch out ang DP at yung remaining balance to approve sa bank at least 80% percent)

kasi hindi naman pwede mag-baloon/lump sum sa sasakyan..

And depreciated value ang sasakyan..
Does your father live in Metro Manila? The way I understand it, you need the vehicle to function as both a van and an SUV meaning you will be utilizing the 3rd row a lot. Perhaps you can try them out personally to see if they will fit your needs.

If you have concerns with regards to depreciation, perhaps the best option is to get a diesel Toyota. Gasoline SUV prices drop like a bomb and are often hard to sell when the time comes. Just look at the price difference between gas and diesel Pajeros, Fortuners, LC90 Prados even.

I don't think your choices have MT variants locally besides the Prado, which is ridiculously expensive for what is essentially a glorified Fortuner no thanks to not being included in JPEPA and excise tax increases. With regards to maintenance cost, we have been using automatics predominantly for decades with a manual coming by here and there. Never really felt the lower maintenance cost of the manual. In fact clutch replacement is very expensive. Meanwhile in the same amount of time, the automatic will have done just a fluid change.

If you don't mind the FC, I suppose the Y62 is comfortable, capable and spacious, without the diesel clatter inherent in the LC200.

Is your father an avid off roader? We have a Dubai LC200 which has crawl control along with KDSS and lots of other acronyms... It has never been used. Never even been off the road in fact. [emoji23]

Not considering an Alphard? No less power than the LC150 V6. Superior interior space and ride comfort without being much bigger than a large SUV dimensionally. Besides not being capable off road, it is an excellent vehicle which is apparently Pia Wurtzbach's first brand new vehicle. [emoji23]
