Tamaraw FX vs Lite Ace

[dr. d]

tamaraws are sturdier and are built simpler than the liteace, hence less parts to malfunction.
i'd like to recommend the revo, but prices of used ones are still unbelievably high.
have you considered the korean vans?

From you choices, Tamaraw FX would be a better choice compared to Lite Ace. I really dont know about its efficiency, but the diesel version of the tamaraw FX is probably efficient.

In terms of maintenance, diesel vehicles cost more compared to gasoline ones, but not too much I think.

Hi lander would be a better alternative, but for 150K I think its out of you budget.

But hey, check this out

A Hi lander with a trooper's 3.1 liter diesel engine for just 168K. The cheapest I found. But I dont know if it would be efficient like the usual hi lander because of its engine, but powerful though.

Wow! Imagine the Sportivo owners being smoked by a laspag Hilander. They could have put a hoodscoop on top though.

I would definitely get a Tamaraw FX over a Liteace. The Liteace is nicer, but it's cramped, hard to work on, prone to overheating and has neither power nor economy.

L300s... you'll pretty much get garbage at those prices. I should know, I went hunting for one, once, for work.

You CAN get a beat-up Hilander at 150k if you look around. Ours sold for around that. The interior was garbage, but it still drove better than any L300 at that price that I've ever driven.... I don't think I'd ever get one with the 3.1 4JX1 Trooper engine, though... what a can of worms that could turn out to be... but if it were the 3.2... now we're talking...

You're welcome sir full dp! Hope you find the one that will suit you the best!

3.2? What's that sir niky? I dont really know. hmmm.

[niky]

Whoops... my mistake... I was thinking of the 4JG2 versus the 4JX1, but it's the 4JG2 that's 3.1 liters pala and not the 4JX1 (3.0)... yeah... the Hilander with the 3.1 liter engine looks mighty interesting... but definitely won't be economical...

[GTi]

Now... how does a 125hp TDIC Hilander run? :devil: But is the rest of the body able to take in that engine? They'd better spend more on upgrading some of the body parts. And looking at the car, it is quite beat up...
