^^^ With that, love our GS bro.

We might not have the means to buy the next gen when it's released in the near future....

Well Bro, when the Gen 3s were current, we never really thought Gen 4s would go way past the P1-1.5M mark. And here we are.

Oh well.

Kung ang HVX nga eh nasa 1.970M na... :headache:

Dati (2004) HiAce Super Grandia ang pinaka-mahal. Ang Starex Gold nasa 1.4M, grey market pa yun..

2M for an entry level van? (assuming the Gen5 GS price)....

Hmmm.... At those prices, I'd go for a 2nd hand Dream SUV.. Land cruiser or Pajero.

Pero at todays prices, comparing the Grey and HARI units with their specs... Ang layo talaga ng nung dalawa. And since both are CBU's, it just boils down to these:

a. HARI has a huge mark up?
b. Hyundai Korea has a big mark up when selling to HARI
c. Grey Importers are not paying the correct taxes--> but I doubt this since a know an importer friend who says you cant cheat on mainstream Grey vehicles. Exotics pwede pa daw, but on a case to case basis.

I wonder how the big 3 jap sellers would react if there were grey civics, corrollas and lancers? That would really stir the market

Oh well, I guess its time to buy a GS while we can afford it.

Actually, hindi nagdadaya ang Grey Market sa taxes pag dumaan sa Manila North or South Harbor. I used to work sa Section 5 ng customs, which handles importation of vehicles. Mas mataas ang taxes na binabayaran ng Gr3y against Official Distributor. In fact, HARI was the one who's cheating sa taxes as reported a few months ago by Topgear Phil and Phil Daily Inquirer. Accurate yung fact na 327 USD lang ang dineclare nila na value ng Getz. It was an internal issue. Didn't know how it got out to media. :/

didnt someone also mention here that the price for the GS in korea is just round 800k when converted to pesos.. grabe talaga..... if that is the case.. then its double the price when it reaches here..

* CVT,

Planning to this Summer, April or May. Need to start the house construction. I'm also in a look out for a BPI/BDO auto madness promo. My friend got a low interest rate plus free Chattle motgage and auto insurance, a savings of around 60k!

OT: does any one of you guys know a higher up in AVIDA management, I am getting screwed with my Land title, its been 2 years and I found out that they havent given BPI ( the one I loaned the lot) my new TCT, I cant get a building permit yet. I'd really appreciate it.

Fil_man,

Yeah I read that article on top gear... No wonder HARI is making a killing!

Cocoy,

800k? Huwaw! I wonder how much of the 100% price increase does HARI profit from? But that would also mean that GREY units also have huge margins...Hmmmm...hehehe

Kasi..

Kung kaya ng HARI gawing 1.8M ang GS Gold nila na wala naman kwenta..

Bakit hindi gawin ng grey market importers na pataasin din ang price nila, lalo na mas marami pa features ng unit nila.
