what's the 3rd van?

**alwayz_yummy** · February 20th, 2006 02:01 PM

mitsu L3??

pag people/cargo oriented use, L300 versa van or late L300 exceed(not ung short wheel base)

personal, but gusto mo madamidaming madadala, vanette, grand-coach model...

lite ace, just like mine (kaso 2c-te, 4-7 seater JDM ung aking, ung local 5K 1.5L manual lang) kung gusto mo maliit na van and di ka palagi nagdadala ng more than 5-7 people, and big cargoes...best kung 96-98 models..

for 150K, swak lang dyan L300 Versa-van, vanette early models or liteaces 89-94/95 models...ikaw pili ka nalang..

How many people do you plan to haul? How big a van are you willing to drive around? Gasoline or diesel? Korean or Japanese.

I'd still vote for the Hyundai Grace. Pero baka overbudget.

sa mahal ng gas ngayon, ung other choices na van mo ang takaw sa gas! L3oo ka nalang diesel...or its korean counterpart hyundai grace/h100(95% pareho lang sila ng L300/delica)

other choice would be kia besta...body parts can be traded off on a mazda bongo/e2000, engine from b2200/b2500 mazda pick-up..

biggest and spacious cheap van that you would get would be a MB100D/140D or otherwise known as SSANGYONG ISTANA..but 100K off your budget

jdm liteaces and vanettes have diesels...but mahal sila sa budget mo, so out na sila..

Yung facelifted local Lite Ace, 1.8 na ba yung engine, or 1.5 pa rin?

**alwayz_yummy** · February 22nd, 2006 11:40 PM

all local liteaces are 1.5L carb engine (5-k).imported/JDM lang ata may option na 1.5 efi,1.8L and 2.0L

jdm liteaces/townace run from 150K-300K(depende sa condition/model). same din ang vanette(aka largo)/serena..(pero rarer ang vanette kaysa sa lite/town ace).got mine for 250K.. 4wd fxv grade, full option model....(hot/cold box w/ice maker, TEMS, powercurtain, skylite roof, etc).
