2008 Hyundai Starex (Gen. 4)

[ronw123w124]

I was thinking of getting the CVX unit of Standout which is 100K less than HARI version although the warranty is only 1 year compared to HARI's 5 years.

Sir, try niyo sa Pitstop motors in Q Ave., mas mahal ng konti sa Pitstop pero 3 years warranty.

Owner here of grandstarex tci manual bought last october 2007 HARI with 5180km odo reading 2x na change oil 1000 and 5000. Since bihira namin ginagamit starex do we have to wait for 10,000km reading for the next change oil or do we have it changed after 3months? another question is tire pressure sa stock tires na hankook 32front and 37 rear sabi ko sa husband ko underinflated yata.

My point is that could I just save on the price difference of 100K whether I get from Pitstop or Standout? Umabot ba ng 100K ang repairs ninyo sa Starex ninyo during 5 years? Remember that you should NOT count the consumables like change oil, belt, filters, brake pads which HARI also does not include in their 5-year warranty.

subjective to sir, depende sa usage ng sasakyan. eh kadamihan na pinapalitan eh mga consumables, battery every 2 years, tires, bushing, etc etc, the list goes on if the car is not taken properly or not following the PMS required by the manufacturer.

ang lamang mo talaga sa five years warranty, eh 5 years peace of mind that anything happens to the car eh sasagutin ng dealer, but this would mean that you have to bring your car to the casa, every PMS or else void yung warranty mo. so imagine na lang the payment for these PMS as opposed to bringing your car to your friendly shop outside casa

so for your peace of mind i suggest you take 5 years warranty.

re change oil, if budget permits, mas ok na palit lagi ng oil, but if not pwede naman ma stretch yung as long as hindi pa magasapang yung engine oil, mas dumihin kasi oil ng diesel compared sa gasoline engine.

re tire pressure, as suggested also by others, its better to follow the recommended tire pressure of the manufacturer which is usually seen on the drivers door. over-inflation means stiffer ride and uneven tire wear, under-inflation increases fuel consumption and uneven tire wear also, yung nga lang medyo mas comfortable yung ride at the expense of fuel and tire wear

parang kulang po tire pressure nyo.. check nyo rin po sa manual, bigat pa nman ng starex..

re sa next pms, antayin nyo na po yung 10k km reading.. yun po ang nasa PMS..

if i remember correctly, i think the manual says 42psi front nad 47psi rear for normal load and 42psi front and 51psi rear at full load.

Thanks for the reply.

So you are confirming na wala naman palang nasisira sa Starex except for the usual wear and tear consumables?

In that case, the more it strengthens the arguement to buy from grey market. In case mayrun ibang major part na masira, you can use the 100K you saved earlier. Isa pa, you are not obliged to bring it for PMS for 5 years sa casa, even for change oil. Pwede na sa mga reliable shops within the neighborhood. Cheaper na, convenient pa.

im not saying na wala masisira sir but come to think of it, if HARI is giving 5 years warranty for the car meaning malakas loob nila sa product nila na tatagal, but mostly naman talaga na bumibigay eh yung mga prone sa wear and tear.

as mentioned subjective po ito, like for example i can speak for myself only, but our GS have gone thru 10,000+ kms already in just a span of 6 mos. thank GOD and still no problem (knock on wood).

and mas nauna pa lumabas yung mga sa grey market than hari, i think its been almost a year that this GS are running around the metro, so far never heard of any problem na nasira.

and isa pa you are going to get a comprehensive insurance naman, para protected ka din against vandalism, floods,etc.

but still the minimum warranty you can have for the GS which is 1 year or 15,000 kms sa Standout, 3yrs or 100,000 kms sa pitstop or 5 years or 100,000 kms sa HARI

and kung talagang may sira man yung sasakyan eh lalabas na agad yan

sabi nga if you take good care of your car, it will take good care of you also.

Not to mention na mas kumpleto sa amenities yung mga Grand Starex na binebenta sa gray market.
