Honda CRV [continued]

[MD888]

Hi po sa lahat. A friend of mine is selling his 2007 crv. Price is 470k at 70k km . Sa tingin nyo po ba, this is a good offer? And would you recommend me buying this? Salamats!

It really depends on your needs. If you do not need a third row of seats, the CR-V should be more than enough in terms of space and comfort. You should check more than the mileage though. Evaluate any history of repairs, maintenance, etc to be extra sure. I am sure your friend would be willing to provide those documents/information for you. Knowing Honda though, it should have had only minimal problems as long as it was properly cared for.

Is this a 4x2 or 4x4? I think it is a decent price, especially if it is a 4x4. Some people are also put off by the fuel economy (5-8 km/l in the city, 9-11 km/l on the highway). But if you are okay with that, you are assured a smooth and quiet gasoline SUV.

Its 4x2. Good to know na given 8yrs old na yung model pero it's still good to buy. Accordingly, it's well maintained but hihingan ko pa din ang records for sure. And try ko din pababain pa to maybe 450k. Hehe! Salamat sa reply.

Its 5L, chk the dip stick, it must be a little bit below the F line. About the oil filter, just tell your local autosupply its for a crv, i bought iridiums at denso, they are the ones thats installed the plugs

I have the second generation post-facelift version, and I find the power decent. The key really is to be rev happy with it. That way, you can get it to VTEC and get the power found in the higher rev ranges. That is the way most Honda engines are built anyway, so I personally see no reason to complain too much about fuel economy. If you want to get 7-8 km/l though, you have to be light on the throttle. I usually do not go over 2250 rpm when I try to be efficient, and it usually ends up in me being overtaken more often. But if you want more power, rev it up to 4000 rpm or so and you will be fine. Just be prepared to get 5-6 km/l from it. I have no issues with the transmission whatsoever, aside from the fact that it lacks gears compared to the one found in the succeeding generations. I am personally on the side hoping that they do not bring the CVT transmission here.

Hehe, sorry Reddit linggo lang, I meant, wala kasi ako alam about it so if someone can maybe give me a rundown on things and make it simple, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks for the reply/

[ddarksymphony]

RD - i think is kung what generation sya (kung 2.0 2nd generation crv sya na narelease 2002-2005)
VTEC - i think is what honda calls the technology they put in the engine, kumbaga sa mitsubishi MIVEC

please feel free to correct me fellow members if im wrong

good to see a fellow redditor here :D

Guys, need your help.

I'm buying my first car ever and I've decided to get a CR-V 2.0 S variant. Now, for the dealership, I've narrowed it down to two. Rizal(Autozone/LicaAutoGroup) and Pasig (Ayala Group)

Anyone of you have Bad/Good experienced in either dealership?

Appreciate all the help!

There's a thread here about Honda Alabang, though it is not Pasig it is an Ayala dealership. Don't know about the Lica Group except that its new but I know that Honda Cavite is the most aggressive when it comes to pricing.

Honda Cars Rizal, highly recommended.
Very accomodating mga staff nila dun.
Best Honda dealership na napuntahan ko. Pasig? Okay naman, but i prefer Rizal. Alabang? Don't even think about it. Mader-paker mga tao dun.[emoji36]

Kasi mostly ng nagtrabaho dyan mga skul bukul ng Ayala Alabang, may ere.

Imagine golden spoon, tapos barely nakapasa ng college, tapos uutus-utusan mo lang haggle mo ng freebies, kakainsulto sa kanila yun so they woouldnt give you that benefit

You can try Honda Marcos Highway, maybe you can get a better deal. I got mine from there and I find Yuchengco Hondas to offer better discounts than Ayala Hondas. If the discount is the same, they can give you a lot more freebies. My 4th-gen got free 3M tint all-around including the windshield, window visors which I didn't install, tonneau cover and rear parking sensors. I got mine though last year during the ghost month of August.

Thanks to all the great feedback you've shared

I was able to get a good deal with Honda Rizal and here are my observations of the Dealership's Sales Staff:

Accommodating
I called the agent early morning after seeing her online post and was provided the standard dp and monthly rate. I was able to negotiate a lower dp/monthly and was informed that she'll consult with her manager.
I asked her if I can visit the dealership that afternoon. Though she's currently off, she committed to coming by to the office to assist me. (That's a plus point for her).
When I arrived my agent was still in transit but I was assisted by her pretty manager instead.

Negotiation-Friendly
Not that I don't expect them to but well, they're pretty comfortable in negotiating with me.
I initially got an approval for Bank PO so I'm anxious to get a unit already but the Sales manager and agent that assisted me were able to offer a good in-house deal with a lower DP and a reasonable monthly payment.
I read in some of the forums that you need to compare quotations which I did, I had in hand quotations from Rizal, Pasig, Greenhills, Shaw and Manila. (Yes, that many!)
I am still on my 3rd re-negotiation on the monthly to lower it down more and I'l hear back from them on Monday.

Other Small favors
- I requested for the Blue 2.0 S AT variant which seems no Dealership have (Rizal, Pasig, Shaw, Greenhills and Marcos Hi-way). All of them usually have the white S variant or a Blue but for the V variant. The Rizal sales manager seems to be pushing their partner officer in "Central" Honda Office to find any allocation from other dealership. They committed to having a unit by Dec 4th.
- I asked the manager and agent that I'd like to have my first bill on January instead of December should the unit be released next week.

Rizal though is not free from bad feedback. Since this is my first purchase, I really would like to have a worry free relationship with my dealership so I researched some that were posted in FB.

Dealership's Old FB Page Honda Cars Rizal (Rizal Autozone, Inc.)
Lemon Car/Issues with Mechanics Link
Sales Agent Falsified the Check Link
Delays in releasing of Plates Link

I was able to discuss this with the Sales Manager and she was able to answer each issue I shared with her. Most of the people involved in the Falsified check have been terminated and they've recently promoted a new General Manager that seems to be focusing on improving how things are working internally. For the Plates, it seems that they have a pending registration with LTO which is currently being resolved. For the Lemon Car, last I've heard this was escalated to DTI and now the sales manager confirmed that the car was replaced by a new one already.


That leaves us with a possible release of Dec 4th or earlier. I can't wait!!:drive1:

Hi CRV owners. Hope you guys can help me on this one. We have a 2001 1st gen crv at home that's been set aside as palengke car for weekends. It's got a little over 160k in mileage, casa maintained but somehow with its condition we still take much caution when driving it since we're uncertain of what problem it will have. I think this vehicle is just solid and is worth restoring to its former glory. Few things:
1. Roughly how much would you dedicate for exterior and interior detailing? Might need to show photos if this is for repainting or diy detailing.
2. Every essential part of this car outside of casa that can be bought cheaper (suspension, items inside engine bay) not really sure what else; that need to be purchased? Honda's parts are incredibly expensive. Pretty sure we can source most parts for cheaper these days with cheaper labor of course.

Essentially I wanted this to be my project car instead of buying a small eco car that way I can understand vehicles more than just driving it daily. Thanks in advance!
