-all power, tow hitch (not sure if that's right), spare tire hasn't been used
-77000 km mileage
-problem is change oil and maluwag lang fan belt
--PhP310,000


Adventure
-2002 model, white (as in mukhang pang-taxi)
-diesel, M/T
-power steering lang
-108,000 km mileage
-problem is papalitan ang bearing sa belt and may dimple sa likod at gilid plus change oil

Take your time... buyer's market naman, eh. For a quick guide, buy one or two issues of buy and sell and peg the normal fair price for these two cars. (it'll be on the low end of the average price range there... most asking prices are about 50k too high)

I wouldn't go for the Revo, as you're paying as much as you'd pay for a secondhand car for a truck that'll still drink gas. Don't get me wrong, the Revo rides better than some other AUVs, but the gas consumption kind of kills off one of the reasons to get an AUV in the first place.

The Adventure sounds kind of expensive for a vehicle with over 100k on the clock.

Look around, there might be better deals for your money out there.

sir suggestion, find another unit...

[crazystud17]

we decided na ung revo nlng e since makinis pa. Malakas ba tlga sa gas? pag gumamit ng fuel saver?

also upon checking dito sa LTO paranaque, naka-lock daw pala sa QC main branch ung OR saka CR ng sasakyan. Sabi nung pinagtanungan namin, ok naman daw as naoopen ung record, since mga penalty lang daw ang nakikita dun sa record na un kung ano man un. Tama ba un? should we still go for the revo? I have 2 hours to decide waaaaaaa

[heightdeprived]

hindi effective ang mga fuel saver gadgets, baka masira pa ang auto...

OK na rin yan basta kaya mo yung gas mileage niya, if I"m not mistaken, 6-8km/l ang consumption niya...

[XTO]

go for the revo bet the two if you're in a hurry but better to think
more than once esp you're dealing to pre-owned vehicle.
remember nasa huli pagsisisi.

[kmo]

get the revo

oh ok good thing you told me cuz we're planning to buy the fuel saver pa naman kaagad in case matuloy ung sa revo. Pero 6-8km/L? wow malakas pala parang expedition. Ano pde gawin dun para maging matipid sa gas? How bout additives?

[niky]

There's only so much you can do about gas consumption. Better tires, tuning, good sparkplugs, thinner oil (10w40 or 5w40), adjusted timing... but it'll still consume a lot more fuel than a diesel AUV.

Fuel savers are a big no-no.

Ganyan talaga yung mga 2.0 na AUV/SUV/CUV... the CR-V drinks badly, too.

As long as there's nothing wrong with it, mechanically, it's okay if you can afford the gas. Medyo mas maganda naman ang ride niya kaysa sa Crosswind. Pero be sure to clear up the papers of the car before saying yes. Mahirap yun kung may problema.

Adventure. Diesel na sya bro, yung nga lang taas na masyado mileage nya.

There's no magic bullet for fuel consumption. No bolt on devices or fuel/oil additives will improve your fuel consumption. At best they do nothing, worst case they can do damage.

If you're that concerned about fuel consumption, get the Adventure. But if you don't drive a lot or don't plan to keep the car for a long time, the Revo would probably be better because it's cheaper.

If you do get the Revo, first thing to remember is that it's NOT a car. First gear is there to get you moving. I know lots of people with Revos drive theirs like their cars and the engine revs like crazy, that's not how the Revo's engine is tuned.

[NazQ]

ganyan talaga pag gas na AUV. ang exped ata higher pa ang consuption 5-6 km/l, kung gagamitin mo araw araw tapos hindi puno, mejo lugi ka nga sa gas. pero kung weekend / family trip car. ok na din since ang dami mo masasakay.

tip lang.. pag di alam kung ano problema ng papeles, wag mo na bilin. baka magsisi ka lang. dami pa naman jang available..

this is true.. usually pag humps or corners, akyatan, naka segunda ka pa rin. 1st gear pag galing lang sa total stop.

[Picard]

Ang alam ko sa Revo, 7-9km/l ang highway tapos 4-6km/l lang ang all city driving.

[heightdeprived]

so it's guzzles more than I thought, the approximation I have given is already in City driving conditions...

[Alpha_One]

Ang alam ko sa Revo, 7-9km/l ang highway tapos 4-6km/l lang ang all city driving.

For the record, our Revo gets more than 10km/L on the highway. 1.8 Gas Manual. Our best was 11.9km/L, highway, fully loaded. We normally get 8, mixed traffic/highway.

[Horsepower]

Go for the Revo but get a diesel one.

Take your time, Ron. Are you buying from a used car dealer? Are they the ones pressuring you to choose asap?

I recall several threads discussing concerns on the gas consumption of the 1.8 Revo.

310,000 ba talaga presyo ng Revo SR? Alam ko hindi bababa ng 400K yan.

[crazystud17]

we bought the revo na and yep 310k lang siya. ganda pa nga e panalo kasi hinding hindi laspag pati interior sobrang linis. mejo may mga gasgas lang sa side mirror, sa likod, saka sa gilid pero all barely noticeable. Taga-Urdaneta Vilage naman may-ari e and foreigner. Hayyy March na nga ang registration kaya hanggat hindi natatransfer sa pangalan ko, may kaba pa rin kahit naibigay na sa akin lahat ng papers including the OR's from the first owner down the invoice of the car from Toyota.

I wish and I pray na wala sana maging problema...
