2012 New Ford Explorer

[prostee]

i don't really plan to buy any accessories since i rarely keep my car for more than 3 years, actually i really like the explorer and thinking about keeping it for atleast 5 years as long as it doesn't give me any headache. the only thing i would probably buy is the mud guard and of course convert my headlights to HID. another reason for me to not buy anything for the explorer is my wife.:bwahaha: i was supposed to buy the legacy wagon kasi instead of the explorer and told my wife if i buy the cheaper legacy in the long run it will be just as expensive or even more expensive as the explorer because she won't be able to stop me from buying accessories for that car, but if we buy the explorer instead i'd keep it stock. kaya yan pag bumili ako ng kung ano ano accessories para sa explorer yari ako.:bwahaha:

Haha, good bargaining agreement. But you can argue, 'honey can I buy you a bumper guard so that you won't scratch the bumper when you load the groceries'?... hehehe

dahan-dahanin ko muna siguro since kakabili lang namin nung explorer, antay muna ako mga ilan months bago bumili mga accessories if ever. parati naman ako pumupunta ng states kaya ok lang.

If your that desperate, go with in-house financing. In just a week may unit kana. Then after a couple of months pay all the remaining amount. You will not regret of owning the explorer.

What about the interest? I think kelangan mo pa din bayaran. I mean you can pay off the balance in a month or two pero isasama pa din nila yung overall interest.

Nawala na excitement ko kasi naman last December pa ako nakapila.

Ang mag earn lang ng interest ay yung months na you took. Then ask the bank to re-construct your balance. Di mo kailangan bayaran ang full term na kinuha mo.
It happens in my other car. After 3 months binayaran ko ng full. Kunti lang interest.

Di ko alam yan ah. Thanks for sharing.

what's the top speed of our explorer? so far i've only driven it up to 180kph kasi.

That's it already due to the limiter. I felt the limiter kick in. How about yours? wall ka na feel na parang may limiter?

Speeding.

Top Speed is electronically limited to 108mph (174km/h), 0-60mph is 7.9 sec.

Install tuning chip device then you can raise the value of the speed limiter. Try vivid.

actually i let go of the gas as soon as i reached 180kph because of traffic but i felt like the fuel cut off just before i let go of the gas so i wasn't sure.

where and around how much is it? would it improve fuel economy or worsen it?

So far my unit has no issues aside from misaligned door/dashboard (passenger side more than driver side) which is common even in US units up to now. There is no TSB yet for this and personally I'm not really bothered and I don't want the dealer doing experiment to address the issue as they might introduce rattles or any unwanted noise in the process.

The build date of my unit is Jan 5, 2012 so most of the major issues were supposedly already addressed by the plant. Most of the TSBs cover units with build date November 2011 and earlier. Model year 2013 starts on March 2012 build date as far as I know so if you order now there is a good chance that you'll get the 2013MY with more minor enhancements e.g. the recessed and backlit 3rd row seat control panel, revised final drive ratio, etc

Careful muna in driving fast. There was a news yesterday that an Expedition's tires burst and killed 4 people on SCTEX.

Oo nakita ko rin sa news yon, although the explorer can handle 180kph and possibly more, has every electronic stability gizmos, nobody can defy Physics... Ingat sa lahat specially rainy season is approaching

NONE, probably not even in the near future.

Hello Sirs! I was looking at Ford Global's price list and noted that the insurance for the 3.5 V6 Limited is 119,110.34 pesos while that for the 2.0 Ecoboost XLT is only 63,796.52 pesos. Why that big difference? Magkano po ba ang binayaran ninyo sa insurance? I have reserved for a 3.5 V6 Limited pero mahaba pa ang pila at maybe end of this year pa available.

That's daylight robbery right there. For one, you are not obligated to acquire insurance from them as they were asking for 84K if i can recall correctly. I got mine at Global as well and paid 62K. Here's what i did. I told them i have my own insurance to handle this side of the deal and that they need not dip their hands into it. Obviously, they want to dip in cause there's still profit in it. So i told them if they can match my insurance price, then i will take it from you. I called up my insurance in front of them over speaker phone as ask for quote base on explo price. Insurance said it's 66K and so that was it.

After i got out of Global, i screwed up my insurance for quoting too high. Told them" did i not told you to make it 50K only as after all i won't take it from you and it's just a reference pricing. Nakalimutan nya daw kasi it was scripted already which failed in the execution" At the end, still cheaper than what they offer.
