cx5 base model was 70k discount, rav4 base model was 10k discount, tucson was 100k discount. we always acquire via paying cash. (iniikot lang pera from other sources of money, company sponsor, etc)
then we experienced how "hungry" it was on gasoline. so Jan of this year, we "returned" it to office.
we need to get a replacement and this time wife do not want the rav4 anymore due to gas guzzler.
i asked her to test drive everest, she liked the handling of the steering. (we have montero and fortuner, nahihirapan siya drive both sa steering)
we ended up with tucson crdi and then just got it last monday. it was just GL crdi, added the 10in android, tv plus Audio/video/navigation (AVN) w/ rear camera and foglights bec of good offer.
then i do not need to change the horns kasi fiamm na pala yung stock ng tucson. all our cars have fiamm horns para isang tunog lang pag papabuksan gate sa bahay. hehehe.
then i got some cruise control and audio switches for the steering, and the drive mode (eco, sport, norma) switch and DIY installed it...
next in line is yung aircon vent for the second row seats.
if you are paying cash, let me know as my agent can give big cash discount. please PM me.
this saturday, we'll get the BR-V naman for my parents. they wanted something "big" na hindi mataas kagaya ng mga PPVs and not to low like HRV, Mobilio, Altis, Civic. plus na sa kanila yung third row seats when needed but hindi naman talaga gagamitin, and another plus is yung 2nd row aircon vents..
when we did test drive, nagustuhan nila height ng BR-V over HR-V (which they find to small inside. feeling nila nakakulong).
dahil 1.5 na gasoline engine, they opted for BR-V, else diesel talaga gusto namin... now pipila na sa CRV na diesel as that is what they really want...
