Profile:

I'm targetting 2011 to buy, but not in a hurry, at all.

Brandnew.

Budget 850K, Down ni daddy, ill pay for the 5 year installments

It'll be my personal vehicle. Daily sa office, Sta mesa - UP Diliman Route.

Weekends sa galaan, within MMLA or nearby provinces.

The catch is, we dont have a family car yet, and no plans for the next 2 years, so a 7-seater ++ is preferred.

We are particular about the after-purchase expenses such as FC, maintenance cost, etc.

As a noob, I'm not looking into reselling it, but my dad is particular with resale value.

Prospects:
avanza - my dad's preference. 1.5L. he like that its smaller. i just thought the 1.5L is with the same price of the innova j.


innova - my preference. i think its the better vehicle. i think ill choose the 2.5J D4d .I heard the D4D is alredy solved, and that the higher cost of dsl is a myth, and that the tip is just to get quality Diesel.

alternatives are accepted.
