Second Hand medium SUV Budget is 1M

* sir monty_GTV yup I'm contemplating getting a BN montero or Innova and calling it a day. The reason I'm looking at preowned cars is that I feel, with a lot of patience, I can get more car for my money with preowned ones.

either of your choices are capable up in cordilleras. there is always pros and cons in buying preowned. just like you said, you save money as you don't pay for the depreciation cost but there is always the stigma associated with used vehicles. but if you are patient enough to find a good unit, then go for it. goodluck with your purchase[emoji3]

Thanks sir. What I have in my favor is time. I can take time looking since we're making do with an in-law provided car. Fortunately for me my father-in-law can no longer drive so we're the ones using their car. ☺️

* sir dr. D thanks for your input. I'm also scouting around for one of your default recom, an Innova. Although with the 2nd hand prices for it, it seems much wiser and simpler to get a brand new one.

* sir GTI I get what you mean about the BK's age.
You know its nice because I originally wanted to send my post as a pm to you but was unable to do so because your inbox was full. It seems there are a lot like me who want to get you advice.
There's another prospect I'm looking at which just might be a much better option- a brand new Montero GLS MT 4X4 with a very nice discount(438k). I'll know tomorrow if its still available.

Ps: my apologies for the consecutive posts. I was looking for the option to quote multiple posts or to edit but could not seem to find it. I could only edit this post which has no qoutes.

Regarding the Innova, I would agree it is a valid option, especially if you find one under Toyota Pre-owned so that you at least get 1 year warranty from them along with the "various points" checkup before it is sold to you (supposedly). This was an option we were exploring before we found issues with my dad's office vehicle. So we opted for a BNEW DMax for more cargo hauling flexibilty instead of the Innova. But when we asked back then, I think it was Toyota balintawak that had about a 3 year old (I think, surely it wasn't 5 year old) Innova G ( I can't recall completely but I am sure it wasn't a V Trim) that had below 20k kms in the odo and they were asking below 1million for it, i think around 900k ++.

But if just the Pajero or Montero as the choice, I feel the Montero is the more "flexible" option should there be a sudden change of heart in the future, then you have a "wider" net to cast for 2nd hand buyers in the future. But agree as well about the space inside as really only good for 7 regular sized adults, though we did attempt 9 adults in it (previous gen Montero, 2012 Model Year). A really tight squeeze, along with some light luggage for each person inside the car (no storage above the roof). =)

Good luck.

Had no idea my inbox was full. [emoji28]

Now if you ask me, unless you are a diehard BK fan, are planning to sell the vehicle soon, or the BK in question happens to be the VGT equipped version, I'd say the Montero is much better.

Also, have you seen the BK's 3rd row seat? I have never seen a 3rd row seat this small! [emoji23]

i think the BK in question was a 2012 model and not the refreshed VGT version that came up late 2016 or early 2017.
