ok sir check ko sa kanya ulet. Actually, he's giving it to me 250k cash, but since short ang cash ko ngayon, he told me he's willing to give it to me installment but with "konting dagdag" so I'm just factoring the "dagdag" when I estimated the cost.

be sure you find out just what that "konting dagdag" means, in writing! the word "konti" is very subjective. it can range from one peso to double the cash purchase price..
the best contrtact is the one written on paper, with both parties understanding what it means.
and yes, the worst quarrels are with relatives with short memories..

Ang pag-aalala ko lang ay kung yan ay last batch ng 2.0L Escape's, though for the most part ay 2.3L na ang 2005 Escape's.

Actually maganda naman po yang escape..meron kami nito dati 03 na V6..sobrang lakas lang talaga sa gas kaya binenta namin..pero masarap talaga sya i-drive, parang sedan lang., i dont know lng sa ibang variant ng escape kung hindi matakaw sa gas..about naman sa piyesa.,ginto ang price ng piyesa ng ford.grabe!

Go for the brandnew mirage na lang, wala ka pa sakit ng ulo, kung small family lang naman kau pwede na yun.. Nothing beats brand new.

A Tribute V6 in FWD is the best driving of the lot. Lots of power, and no 4WD to weigh it down. Of course, the gas bills in traffic are murder.

Wouldn't the gas bills of a V6 Escape be the same as the Tribby?

Anyhow, intriguing topic. Per se, I would go with the newer car -- less headaches. Plus it's not the Car of the Year for nothing. FC would be the main selling point for me. Would you and your family fit comfortably in the Mirage? If so, yun na.

Escape if sa province mo gagamitin, pero pag city olats ka hindi ma eenjoy kasi lagi mo iisipin gas consumption.. 2.3 displacement with AT tranny masserte na siguro 5km/l manila driving... Mazda tribute ng boss ko pasig-manilataft-pasig evereday 5 days lang fulltank niya wew... Get the TOL mirage lang wag na ibang variant mukhang tumatakbong lata yung lower variant ng mirage...

Tribute is 2WD. Should be lighter. In my experience, it's a bit faster. But I've heard the economy is similar.
