2012 New Ford Explorer

[3ple4]

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.

Haha comedy insurance mo ah. Dapat ata nag-rehearse muna kayo

*Tux96: I paid 70K for the in house insurance of Ford Global but didn't get their in house financing.

[prostee]

Haha, grabe mga inhouse insurance/financing ah... Anyway I got my first comprehensive insurance for FREE as I had BPI financing which offered free insurance for the first year.... No DI also.... Yon nga lang I had to wait for 6 months for my unit.... All in all it was a good deal, yong pang insurance ko sana pinangkuha ko na lang ng special plate may sobra pa pinangbili ko ng weathertech hehe

[Tux96]

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.

Thanks for the tip Sir Macsd. I think that should be the best way to do it. Mahirap pala pag di nagtatanong-tanong. Really glad we have this thread. Thanks rin Sir Prostee, Foresterx and 3ple4 for the info.

*tux96: good luck on your insurance hunting

to those who have their units already, did anybody ask your dealers if theY have the most recent software update to MFT and how do we go about updating our systems?

Sa Ford Global where I got my unit, wala pa daw update ng MFT. But according to *apple5, yung kanya in-update daw ng Ford Global sabay na ata dun sa pinaayos nya na rattling sound sa dashboard. Weird nga eh pero di bale, so far ok pa naman MFT ko *knock on wood*

[prostee]

So that means meron na copy ang Ford Philippines ng new version.... ok pa naman din MFT ko kaya lang mas responsive daw yong new version....

[spynz]

So Far I don't have problem with my MFT. How do we know what version do we have?

Your welcome, that's the whole purpose of this thread & forum. Sometimes you can share info, sometimes you ask for info.

On another note, i just logged my best FC so far at 8.68 km/ltr. Fill-up at Subic petron drive thru Clark and after dinner about 8pm drop by Ayala in Makati then Sta Rosa. Mostly auto cruise * 110kph at SCTEX & NLEX.

I have no idea how to directly determine the version of MFT aside from what I read about the appearance and response of the new MFT. The most obvious difference is the bigger clock display and the absence of the external temperature display in the newest version.

May nagpalit na ba sa inyo ng busina? Actually ok na ako sa lakas ng busina kaso recently, napapansin ko na hindi nasisindak ang mga buses sa EDSA sa akin Mas malakas pa yung busina na City ko kaya sa Explorer Pag magpapalit ng busina, anong warranty ang mavo-void? Electrical?

medyo ok na nga ang stock horns kaya di ako masyado nagmamadali palitan...balak ko palitan o dagdagan ng mitsuba horns although diko alam kung magkakasya sa space na yon... sa ngayon ayaw ko pa mag experiment hehe

hindi naman mavovoid ang warranty ng buong electrical system, yong horn lang ang mawawalan ng warranty unless of course nadamay ang ibang systems because of faulty wiring.

For comparison lang po sa insurance mga Sir. 60k po sa Pioneer Insurance.

hi , am new here, ask ko lang to those who bought the car already, do you recommend this car? sabi sa akin maalog daw totoo ba? thank you i am eyeing for this car pero takot coz sabi sa akin mababa ang resale value, mahal sa gasolina, at maalog daw ang ride? please answer thanks

maalog - no way, who said it was and what car did they compare it with?
low resale value - that's to be expected to any gasoline suv right now
gas - most people who buys a car over 2M wouldn't/shouldn't worry about gas, anyway yes it is a gas guzzler

for me this car is the best SUV under 3.5M, i like it better than a expedition/suburban/lc prado/patrol/pajero/cx-9 because it has a much better ride than those, performs better(except for the cx-9), and has more features and toys to play with.

I will recommend this car... Speaking of maalog? probably not... Mas maalog ang other SUV's. I don't even complain how often i gas up the car in a month since i like it. Don't buy this car if your only thinking of resale value. You will not enjoy in the end. Just an advice...

[spynz]

Does anyone of you thinking to moods your explo? I am planning to foil it. Para if i don't like it madali lang tanggalin.

no plans of modding mine, plan ko lang yung headlight pa retro fit since sobra hina ng headlight natin. if i have the extra money i'll definitely have it foiled. what color ba plan mo pa foil sa explorer mo?

You will not regret owning the explorer. Value for the money. I would say...
