chevrolet manila police cars...

[jvdejesus05]

guys just saw a chevrolet manila police car today... di ko alam na may ganito pala ang manila district plus may nakita din kami one time na rav4 na ginamit as police cars din. what can you say about this guys?

weird that the goverment should purchase the highest fuel guzzling 1.6 liter car for their police cars. Since a long time before i was told that police cars have limited fuel on board, Add this to the woeful fuel economy of the Optra and the would equate to an almost nil car chases. Those cars will only last a few kilometers before their fuel runs out.

Well, the Optra is the cheapest car in it's class at the moment. And with free maintenance, it doesn't come as a surprise that the police are using it. Car chases? Doesn't really matter; "only a few kilometers" is a bit pessimistic, surely the police will carry more fuel than that. Besides, the Optra isn't very fast anyway, and there aren't too many chases around here.

Optras were chosen because they happen to be the cheapest cars in its class. Costs Php 599K, for a 1.6l compact car compared to a sub-compact from better branded manufacturers. I'm not sure, if Chevy still offers their two years free service, though.

Last Friday evening, I saw two rows (4 cars per row) of these patrol cars parked neatly at the Western Police District headquarters by UN avenue. All the cars were purchased from Chevrolet Pampanga, which I assume was the lowest bidder. Not that it matters, but all of them have yet to sport the red license plates. It goes to show that even the gov't is not spared from its own inefficiencies.

Sana nag Ford Lynx nalang sila.

The new Sentra is being sold at 598,000 PHP. I heard madami pang discounts and freebies. Sobra daw kasi desperate ng Nissan ngayon.

[niky]

It's not a new thing. The only thing they consider in Government is the cost price, not the ownership expenses. The LTO has a whole fleet of the Optra's predecessors, the Daewoo Racer.

Mabuti lang marami ding Tamaraw at Corolla na police car, so it evens out in the end.

Kumpare kasi ni mayor yung mayari ng Chevy Pampanga kaya dyan siya kumuha(see..)10 yang nasa WPD nayan,minsan lang yan gamitin at nakadisplay yan sa harapan ng WPD.

Pag gov't walang bidding bidding. Inareglo yan. May kumita dyan.

wala naman talagang bidding pag branded items bibilhin e. I doubt it kung pwedeng i-jack up presyo ng auto. Malamang, nakihati na lang sa komisyon ng ahente at the same time fleet rate ang base price.

[oldblue]

nde naman kaya maging hot item na din ang Chevy Optra sa mga carnappers. just like Toyota.

[Mojo]

baka donated?

[_Qwerty_]

wala kasing bumibili.. kaya nidonate? hehehe

Di masyadong practical ang mobile patrol sa traffic at maliliit na eskinita sa Manila.

[falken]

Napadaan ako sa U.N. kanina, nakita ko ngang naka park diyan sa Station 5, mga 9 or 10 units. Mukhang di pa ginagamit.

[-=Henderson=-]

Magbisikleta nalang yang mga pulis na yan! Para lumiit-liit rin yang mga tiyan nila!

Aanuhin naman nila yung mga patrol cars labis naman ang trapik dito sa Maynila. Atleast, pagnakabisekleta sila mahahabol nila yang mga snatchers, magagamit pa nila yung newly implemented na bicycle lane at magiging maskulado pa sila! O dba? haha!

[jimaroquai]

If you happen to see luxury vehicles being driven by our local police eh don't wonder kasi some carnapped vehicles which were impounded sa kanilang impounding areas at hindi na claim within a specified period of time are forfeited in favor of the local government.

Kung sa mga new vehicles na nakaparada sa WPD UN Avenue, well...hindi ba may bagong na carjack sa may commonwealth late last week. Yung mga militar pa ang pasahero at driver. Baka nangongolekta ng bagong service ehehehe

[allanraymondr]

goodluck sa maintenance :D hehehehe
