2008 Hyundai Starex (Gen. 4)

**CVT** · January 24th, 2011 10:22 AM

Bro., I just want to highlight these:

Current GS TCi A/T has:
1. Immobilizer, aside from factory alarm and central locking
2. Backup sonar or sensor, with audible beep in the cabin
3. With driver's side airbag

Although, it does not have "2 Single comfortable middle seats" that you mentioned above.

12K:boom:

950K ang SVX A/T noon?

830K lang kuha namin sa SVX M/T year 2000..

CVT,

Really?driver side airbags,rear sonar,and immobilizer, the girl SA from Hyundai Alabang said none of those features.... when I asked about the airbag and she said "I'm not sure". I didnt press further because all I wanted to know was the price, I figured I'd get complete spces when its time to test drive... but now knowing it, makes me feel really good

.
About the comfy 2nd row seats, the wife really liked it. All those years owning the SVX, I realized I never sat on the 2nd or third row. I was the only one driving. Makes me realize that on the GS4, I'd be the mamang driver once again. I used to let dad drive, but coupple of years ago I noyiced his eyes where getting bad, so I never made 'lambing" to my dad for him to drive. Owning a van / GS /Starex is kinda having a DSLR, your not in pics most of time... meaning your the one driving

S_Gold,

830?Hmmm I remember paying for 900+K for the matic, I paid extra for the Roof Rack, which I took down early, I wasnt able to go to the covered parking slots and was a hassle when it rained. I paid extra for the Ladder (my SVX looked wierd with the ladder and no rack). I paid extra for the plush leather seats, and yeah paid extra for real 3M tint ( I didnt like the freebie tint).... ahh yes now I remember, also paid extra for ZIEBARTS "ultimate" rust proofing, they drilled holes(then plugged it) all over the lower parts and pillars of the SVX ( at the time I was paranoid of the rust, as some of the GEN 1 Starexes had bad rusting). I guess all that I paid 920k... sorry for that its been a decade. But now that I remembered Ziebarts rustproofing, I must say its money well spent, a friend had rust forming on his SVX ( lower parts, wheel well, near the slide door floors), Good thing todays Gen4 has no reported rusting. Top of my head yeah I spent 900+k when my SVX AT rolled out of the casa.

Now saying that the price increase for the GS4 from the SVX is still ok, since sir CVT mentioned an immobilizer and driver airbag

Double post... DSL is in th fritz,

By the way I was driving from makati today and I had a GS4 - VGT (white) in front ofme (it had VGT emblems) and I really noticed that it didnt have rear wipers... did the 1st batch GS VGT's didnt have rear wipers?

Ah may plus plus na pala kaya 900K.

Base price yung 830K. Nagpa-add din kami ng rain gutter, 3M BC Tints, Ladder & roof rack at rust proofing. So nasa 40K less than your SVX A/T bro. hehehe. Sa Car Options namin binili yung SVX M/T.. April 1, 2000

did the 1st batch GS VGT's didnt have rear wipers?

Yep. Yung mga GLS VGT and GL/GLS TCi.

Sa KDM naman yung mga CVX. Pero starting 2009 models, naging standard na yung rear wipers. Kasi its a must naman diba sir

Wala na siya boss Kha, yung 2003 Club A/T nalang kasi low mileage pa.

Yung SVX nag-graduate * 173,000 kilometers (November 2007). Ang tibay ng Hyundai, walang sakit ng ulo na binigay sa amin yan. Major lang na ginawa is engine overhaul nung 125,000 km.
