Ford 2.3L XLS 4x2 A/T ... worth-buying?

[scharnhorst]

I'm a medical student and I drive a Ranger!

baha ba? the ranger will drive away from being completely submerged in water

[aejhayl17]

but the TS is searching for a SUV. not a pickup (for now). hehe naisip ko din yung ranger(pang harabas talaga, ang tibay eh) and strada(have a high ground clearance) eh. hehe

afaik, karamihan ng diesel engine equipt vehicles(lalo na yung older diesel that dont have that much electronics e.i. ecu's) can drive kahit submerged na. basta the electronics and intake are mounted high enough para di mabasa or have it waterproofed?.

i'll vote for the tucson. its the newest. and its diesel, makatipid ka ng konti sa fuel cost.

trust me! FC will be a problem if di mu kaya sagutin ang pang krudo or pang gas. im a student also.

Di mag Strada ka na lang and keep the rest of the money. GLX is like 900K lang, tapos diesel pa at mataas ang ground clearance. Pag doctor ka na, bili ka ng 4x4 na Nissan Navara V6 VGT Diesel (current engine power output at 240hp/550Nm). hehe.

May 4x2 Navara din kaso medyo mahal (1.1M). Since pang-school/baha mo lang naman, Strada na lang, sayang din yung extra 200K.

I-invest mo muna sa risk-free bank products yung extra 400K.

May BPI investment ngayon na malaki ang interest. I forgot the product name but we bought units few months ago. Naka-lock yung pera mo, you can't take it out within the lock-in period. Pero malaki talaga ang interest, I remember kasi nagulat ako sa rate nun when I read it. I'm not sure about the minimum (100K ata).
