Ano ibang cars na carjacked resistance too (i'm thinking of a new one yun hindi nakakasilaw sa mata.. for example Fortuners sobrang nakakasilaw.. na tutulo laway pag nakita ng carjackers...).

This is an inspiration for me not to sell my old CR-V 98... carjack resistant.

However, being an old car doesn't really mean that it is safe for carnappers. I remember in a news report that he couldn't believe that someone will be interested to steal his car because it is so old. Later they found out that they used the engine to power their boats.

Ano brand ng car nya and model?
Naku.. you mean Honda CRV engine can power a boat too? How? Can you share any link? Para can look out for abu sayyaf who may need engine power for their new fleet of attack boats.. Thanks for the heads up.

Ano car too hina it can't be put in boat? Sometimes when I fetch mom to market. I stayed at car inside... may think again if you what said is true...

I can't remember the details except that it was a Nissan box type car. I watched the news many years ago, GMA 7 or RPN 9.

I'm not saying that CR-V engines are used to propel the boats. What I'm saying is that we cannot limit their imagination for doing illegal things.

Proven na ba the Honda CRV 2nd Gen is lemon talaga. I'm deciding whether to sell it and buy a 2nd hand innova or kahit Avanza...

My unit is a 2006 model, bought it right before the 3rd generation was launched. Fuel consumption aside, my only problems so far after 11-12 years would be the rack and pinion steering, faulty door lock on the front passenger side, right rear window not as smooth as it used to be, worn out shock absorbers, and worn out rubber stopper for brake light switch. Other than those, it has been reliable and dependable. It has been casa maintained ever since, serviced around once a year. Not bad at all, in my opinion

Say.. if you will replace every part of say the CRV 2004 with brand new parts.. would the total be equal to the cost of a brand new one (like 1.3 Million)...
Or which components of a car is the most expensive to the least in decreasing order? any web site that talks about this or list the components?

I want to estimate how much more I have to spend to maintain it. The CRV 2004 now just costs 220,000 pesos in 2nd hand market. I'd like to know what components can still break down in years ahead because if the repair costs total say 400,000.. parang not worth it. So I need to decide based of analysis of the component data. Thanks.

2001 model 1st gen Honda CR-V ... 103T kms ... items fixed / repaired ... radiator ... radiator fan bearing ... power steering pump (repair kit) ... engine / transmission mounts ... suspension parts ... engine oil leak ... distributor cap ... aircon evaporator / condenser ...

Have not replaced any of the hoses in the engine ... nor had a tune-up ...

The power steering rack is now leaking ... there's a repair kit that costs 6-7T and labor is about 2-3T ... but a friend says there are a lot of fake repair kits being sold ... wondering whether to have it repaired or just fill up the power steering fluid from time to time ...

It's a daily driven ride ... short distances usually ...

the most expensive parts would probably be the borloloy parts.
engine and suspension parts are a'plenty, because they are wear-and-tear items. their manufacture goes on long after the model is discontinued.
but the glass.. the beauty trim.. the plastics.. them's more difficult to source and, to me, outrageously priced. that is, if one can find them at all.

a car aficionado and restorer, said,
"even if one restores the old car to its brand-new, factory condition, it will still drive like... an old car!"
the old car was designed and built around the technology of the time. it would be very expensive to modify the old car, to equal today's technological level. buying a brand new car, would probably be easier, cheaper, and more reliable.

so how much will it cost? i dunno. i'll find out, when i go out looking for the parts. there is simply too many of them, to list down.
para po yang na-uspital.
you'll find out how much you will pay, only when you check out.

can you make good money from selling an honest full restoration on a common car? i do not know. probably, but not enough profit for the labor involved.

btw.. mga china cars.. meron ba side airbags? kasi wala sa Honda CRV 2004.. ito lang concern ko for another 20 years of use. Side airbags is very vital when you have speeding jeeps or vans who mistaken red for green light and hit your car at the sides. Only side airbags can save you...
