Honda CRV [continued]

[bert1223]

Hi, thinking of buying a CRV, but I heard that they might be coming out with all new models next year since it's already been announced in the US. Is this true?

Regardless of the next model, do you think it's currently worth buying given cash discounts?

Hi,

Confirm ko lang. Mas matipid sa gas ang 2.0 vs 2.4 city driving right?

I'm looking forward to buy a 2008 CRV, either 2.0 or 2.4.

Mostly city driving lang.

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, the 2.0 should be more fuel efficient for city driving. I find it adequate too for highway drives, but I am sure the 2.4 should be better in that aspect. Either way, I think the 2.0 should fulfil your needs.

Thank you for putting that up. I actually thought they would take longer to launch the new generation since they just gave the current one a minor refresh. Based on the sources, there really will be a new generation coming up very soon. It has yet to be launched in the US, but expect us to follow a couple of months or so after the US launch, with minor modifications for the Asian market.

With regard to buying the current generation, that is really up to you. You can think of it this way; the last version of any generation should be the most reliable, and that brand new launches tend to have issues that they will eventually fix out as time goes by. If you already want an already proven and reliable car, get the current generation. I mean, if the current one already fits your needs (and maybe even wants), there is no need to wait. However, if you highly value having the newest version and the latest technology in a CR-V, get the next generation. But be prepared to experience possible minor issues that may come up.

How long are you willing to wait? It's quite unlikely that a new CRV will be out within 2016. Not even the US has it yet. They don't offer large discounts for the current CRV because the new one isn't arriving anytime soon to our shores.

That's an interesting way of looking at it. I'm also thinking new models would come out with higher prices too... This makes me more open to buying current models.

Hmm, hoping to buy a replacement for my current car in the next few weeks, I'm also a bit concerned with possible changes to color coding and car plate policies that might adversely affect my capability to choose plate ending. So, while special plates are still available, I want to purchase the car already.

In that case, you might as well go for it. You can never go wrong with a Honda CR-V anyway. It is as practical as it gets in its class. Just go easy on the gas and you can surely get decent fuel consumption.

Thank you sir. I think I might just push through with it.

Hi! First time buyer of a car. Just a quick question regarding buying (I know you heard this question a lot of times). Which is better for your hard earned cash, to buy a new CRV 2.0S 2016 or an older CRV model (2011-2015). Right now I dont want to pay for the whole price of the car but my budget can go up to 600K. I might sell the brand new CRV after 8 yrs and for the 2nd hand after 5 yrs. Which will be the best option of the two? Depreciation and resale value.

The used one of course. As long as you find a unit in good condition, you're basically getting the same car but at almost half the price. Gas-fed CUVs depreciate quickly in the secondhand market. A used CRV of that age will be at around 800-900k only.

After 8 years, the 1.5M you pay for the new CRV can only be sold for about 600-700k, so you lose 800-900k in value.

In 5 years, the CRV that you bought for 850k could still be sold for 500-600k so you only lose 250-350k in value which is obviously much, much more practical.

Personally I'd only consider buying new if it's a car plan (where you have no choice), or if it's a car that you've fallen head over heels for and want it now.

Which is what happens every time a new model comes out (for those with low EQ) ...

your self-imposed budget limit of 600K limits your choice of CRV to non-brand new CRVs only.
but 600K will already buy you a brand new, but non-CRV car.
do you really want and need a CRV?

but i like jut's financial analysis above. only problem is... nothing beats the feeling of driving a new car! tight hinges and rugby odor!

From my experience buying both brand new and secondhand cars, it really feels more reassuring to have a brand new car that needs absolutely no repairs.

However, putting it into perspective, I'd rather save several hundred thousand than enjoy a petty perk. As long as the secondhand unit you're getting is in good condition anyway, it shouldn't be much of a headache. There will be a few things to be replaced, but it should cost more than a few thousands, you just have to allot a bit if time for it.

yung 2007-2010 pwede po ba lagyan ng 3rd row seat? kasya ba yung galing sa honda na katulad ng sa pic or pang 4th gen lang yun? thanks!

Good pm Sir's. I'm noobie here and would just like to know if a 3rd row seats is possible on CRV 3rd Gen. Thanks!

[dairyman1983]

Thank you sir Jut703 and sir Dr. D for your inputs. Yes I do need a bigger car since we are a family of 4 and don't want to pay the full price of the car so I limit myself to spend only 600K and to loan the rest. And for now, I'll opt for a 2nd hand 2011 CRV since the move can save me some money on the long run.

Sir base po yan sa olx. Do you have any recommendations online or somewhere else I can check prices?

[x.mayor]

hello CR-V owners!

time to have my gen 2 (2003 m/t) undergo major repairs. here's the list of parts to be replaced so far:
1. clutch disc
2. pressure plate
3. release bearing
4. engine supports (ilan ba lahat? 4, tama ba?)
5. fan belt
6. power steering hose (the 2 connected at the PS fluid reservoir)

based on your experience, which parts you recommend be replaced with honda OEM and which parts i can go for replacement?

also, where can i get these parts at lowest price? have a limited budget for the repair.

would appreciate your inputs!

thanks!

Hi guys,

Just got my wife's 2017 CRV first oil change & sparks cleaning. Total was 4.9k sa Pili branch. Fuel improved from 8.9 to 11km/l (according to onboard computer) but it will be higher if i relied driving in cruise control mode. The power of the turbo is addicting hehe.

Mga di naitanong sa kasa:

1. may bayad din ba wheel/tire rotation? will DIY void warranty?
2. will self-servicing/DIY spark plugs cleaning void warranty?
3. how much torque for the wheel lug nuts?

TY folks

[Walter]

Maybe you're referring to the Honda Civic X? Why would you need to clean spark plugs on first change oil?
