MB 100 - Kwistyon Laang

[mnera]

Taka lang ako. Been looking around for a van, bakit parang ang baba ng re-sale value ng mga MB 100 vans? Dami ko nakita na murang MB 100s, mura pa sa mga Starex. What's wrong with it?

[acenie]

MB's 100 Van, low resale value because of high maintenance parts, compare to starex mas maganda ang starex.

My experience with it is its a good van (space, engine performance, and parts availability) but once may nasira, tuloy-tuloy na (especially if you have different drivers handling the van).

Thanks very much for the reply mga bossing. So, would you say I should shy away from 2nd hand MB 100s? I tend to think so.

some MB100 owners here attest to its reliability, but i rode my friend's mb100 van a couple of times and i didnt like the van. starex is much better for me.

[vinj]

I would shy away and look at a Starex or Jap van, the MB100 is already getting pretty old too (the first models will be hitting the decade mark in next year). It's a hit or miss thing; I also know owners who are happy but i also know those who are quite miffed at their mounting repair bills.

huwag ng MB100, go for other vans(starex or jap vans na lang). Mahal na sobra ang maintenance and parts. At sasakyan lang iyan ng mga sobrang yaman na tsinay. My older sister ay teacher sa ica greenhills, pag sinusundo namin siya, panay MB100 ang van ng mga ultra wealthy students na ito. I guess they can afford the very expensive maintenance cost and parts kaya iyang MB ay makikita mo lang lagi sa makati at greenhills (area ng mga wealthy families). Stick with the starex na lang or the Hi-Ace...iyan ang van namin kasi.

SsangYong Motor Company was partly owned by Daewoo(1997-2000), this is the reason why there were some Daewoo badged versions of the Ssangyong Istana/ Mercedes MB100.

PS: The Korean Ssangyong Istana/Mercedes MB100 is an update of the original european Mercedes MB100.

i like it...mahal lang talaga ang maintenance. maingay pa makina in lower gears....
getting past that, you'll love the performance, features, space that it will give you.

btw, i like the Ssangyong Istana better than the local CMC version because it has more features.
