to all 2009-2010 chevrolet captiva owners

[Gen. Miting]

Guys..... relax lang kayo.... i know all of you made your own decision of buying your rides and making a decision is really tough.
In my opinion if your happy or at least contented with what you bought then you made the right decision.

Sa cellphone for example.. not all features are in one cf and not all people prefer to have it all....tama ba? Some wanted only the cheapest to get a cell phone that has a good camera in it and some its just the brand.

Ako, I'm proud i bought a CAPTIVA! why..... bcoz' i prefer the ff.
-syempre afford ko, unang-una at i got it with a nice bargain of 18 months to pay with ZERO interest. if montero, plus 100K ang dagdag sa financing kung 18months to pay.....so nakamura ako ng 100K sa CAPTIVA
-gusto kong ma-iba sa karamihan. if i bought montero edi ang daming kapareho...sa totoo lang sa dami ng montero kulang na ang kasa nila to accommodate an owners maintenance services.
-cheaper ang diesel na captiva when it comes to PMS (periodic maintenance schedule) dahil Php 6,000.00 lang including the oil every 10,000 Km at optional pa kung sa labas ng casa ko bilihin ang fully synthetic oil. take note" hindi ma-void ang warranty with this scheme."
-fuel consumption eh nasa driver na lang un.... kung mahilig kang makipag karera tapos you have this very BAD driving habits eh kahit hindi ka umandar eh pwedeng ma-ubos ang fuel mo.
-performance halos pareho ng montero but more faster and stonger
-spare parts like suspension parts, sang katutak na bushing, shocks, coil springs, etc. lahat meron sa BANAWE na replacement pero kung original ang gusto mo mahirap makuha at mahal like any other car in the Philippines. Also bago masira ang spare parts ng CAPTIVA eh taon ng bibilangin.... baka laspag na ang montero by that time or baka nakapag palit ka na ng bagong spare parts.
-RE-SALE value: kung ang montero ay mabenta ng 900,000 after 5 years at ang CAPTIVA ay 800,000 i dont mind kasi nakamura n ako ng 100k sa simula palang nang mabili ko. after 40 years kaya maglano na ang mitsubishi montero vs CHEVROLET CAPTIVA?

im not saying that MONTERO is inferior nor superior to CAPTIVA but my point is if your not happy with what you bought edi talo ka! Wag ka nalang mang-influencia ng iba.

i doubt you can sell your captiva at 800K. my guess is less than half. kasi ganyan namin naibenta yun chevy venture namin after 3 yrs lang. from `1.2M to 450K well-maintained po ito at very low mileage.

since it's a diesel, siguro half

Wag kayo makinig dyan kay Gen Miting para sa kanya Sta Fe nya lang ang may mataas na resale value...Iniisip nya kasi mabebenta pa nya nang 1.7 Mil ang Santa Fe nya eh.. Of course pinakamaganda sa kanya eh Sta Fe nya at Pinakamataas ang Value.. Pag binenta nya nga yung Sta Fe nya eh may buyer agad sya for 1.7 Mil.. alam nyo ba kung sino? Of course sya din.. Bibilhin nyan ang Sta Fe nya for 1.7 mil of di ba? Taas nang resale value ha ha ha

dude, after 5 years, imposibleng 900k pa yung value nung montero sport.

not even a fortuner would be 800 or 900k worth after 5 years

what more for the captiva? I'm guessing it would be around 500-600k for the chevy.

[scharnhorst]

Thanks for the updates. I'm really glad we are in the Philippines. far away from the recalls.

Sir, with all due respect. The recalled captivas and cruzes come from the same manufacturer who made the cars intended for the Philippines

galing sa daewoo yung mga captiva at cruze na binebenta dito sa pilipinas!

Thing is, pag nag recall sa korea, aayusin nila yung auto doon.

Pero since walang recall dito, hindi aayusin yung mga apektadong sasakyan dito.

I saw that article, buti hindi kami nag decide sa cruze !

with mitsu, ewan eto lang talaga nakakapagtaka dyan sa mitsu pajero fm, parang may nagbebenta pa din ng 1M although siguro bloated.

pero here's what i have observed, way back 2000, i bought a mitsu 4x4 strada at 910K. in 2007, i sold it at P550K bale P600K pero tumawad ng 50K. naka-ad lang yun in 2 weeks sold heheh

in 2k5, i got a 2nd hand L300FB dual-aircon at 380K assume balance. ginamit ko pinambuhat ng bato, tiles, salamin kahit ano, binangga ng driver namin. nag-test sell lang ako sa online, may willing kumuha ng 320k heheh sabi ko kasi may alarm haha. pinakabit namin yun lumang alarm ng car dun

imagine a keyless entry L300FB san ka pa ibang klase talaga rep ng mitsu as workhorse cars

pero yan chevy, i doubt even a diesel won't save it from the curse of low resale value. anyway, that's just my honest opinion.

kung future resale value lang yung hanap nung buyer... toyota or honda nalang yung kunin nya.

apparently ang dami palang defect ng captiva. and even yung cruze.

can't daewoo have the same level of quality control as with hyundai or kia?

[chaxxx]

i agree. buti na lang nasa Philippines tayo. FILIPINOS are wise enough to be aware of the updates abroad and avoid the problems they encountered there.
Just to add to all those who bought CAPTIVA....Haven't you noticed a phenomenon? Merong captiva invasion sa daan. Dumadami ang captiva sa philippines. In my road travels every week from Manila to Batangas since early March, about 7-10 captiva's ang nakakasalubong ko sa daan. Isn't it a good sign that more and more people wanted to have what we have?
You should be proud!!!!!:grin2:
sometimes as courtesy i even honk or flash a light to a fellow CAPTIVA owner on the rode pag nakasalubong ko. hope you guys do the same.:dude:

questions:
1.what makes-up a resale value particular to a specific vehicle?
2.who decides the price?
3.what is your basis of buying your own vehicle?

kay 450K mo naibenta kasi wala masyadong customers ang bumili nyan during its time or year when it was released in the market. in the first place bakit mo binenta?:doh:

Thanks for the updates. I'm really glad we are in the Philippines. far away from the recalls.

The vehicles we have here probably comes from the same factory. So don't be so sure that the vehicles here are problem free.

Among other reasons why Philippine automobiles are so "re-call" free is philippine car companies do not issue car recalls to avoid tarnishing their brand. Given the Philippine lack a lemon-car law also gives them the "balls" to hide problems in their cars. Why? It is still cheaper to deal with a few loud complaints than to do a recall to fix a problem with a whole batch of cars.
