2008 Hyundai Starex (Gen. 4)

[numbah5]

Yung akin one time nagka moist ang camera, sabi 1 year lang daw warranty sa electrical, which is nowhere to be found sa warrant booklet nila. Dun ako nabadtrip kakapa service ko pa lang sa Q. Ave after a week tumawag na sa kanila na lang daw pwede magpa PMS. Anyways, kung i void nila warranty let it be. Minsan over exxagerated ang pagppuri nila sa GS units nila. It's the same as any modern cars today may mga part lang na mas advance ang KDM kesa sa HARI unit. At kkaiba nga kada PMS palit ng air filter samaantalang sa Q.Ave sabi kada 10k lang daw palit nun. Yung HUD ko medyo nagloloko na rin, anyway let it be hanggang masira, di na ako aasa ng claim dun.

And I find the PMS schedule of Hancars very ridiculous. Bakit ka magpapalit ng fully synthetic oil every 5,000 kms eh di ba nga they were formulated to last longer than mineral oil?

And also they really like using Castrol 10w40 which is not a recommended viscosity based on the manual.
5w30, 10w30 and 15w40 oils are those written in the manual. Ewan ko lang ngayon kung iba na rin, pero CF-4 pa dati ung ginagamit na Castrol nila.

Pansin ko hindi na ok bumili sa Hancars ngayon. When they 1st restarted to sell KDM Starex again, ok sila kausap. Mabait pa nga eh. Ngayon parang ang sungit and all they think is kung papaano sila kikita. Paano kung ang preference ng prospective client nila is to loan from PNB? Tapos ayaw nila dahil matagal silang bayaran ng PNB. Anong klaseng mindset yan? Tapos sa PMS schedule pa. Why insist on changing the oil every 5,000 kms kahit naka fully synthetic oil? Ano yun para mas malaki ang kita? Why not listen to their clients na kung fully synthetic ang gustong ipalagay dapat every 10,000 kms ang oil change? Mawawalan sila ng clients kung ganyan ang mindset nila.

+1 on this, medyo iba na sila mag treat ng customer. Kinda cold.

What is the price range of 2012 up GS VGT A/T model? What do I have to look for? What is the difference of the KDM units and HARI units? Which is better the 2 row passenger seats or 3 rows. Do local models come in leather seats? Ano yung Gold models? Would like to know the difference para alam ko when scouting for used GS. Ano rin pala difference ng 2013 from 2014 units incase I would go for brand new? Your advice would be highly appreciated. Meron kasi ako nakita na 2013 model sa autohub na 3k lang takbo selling for 1.4M

Well, of course. We wouldn't have it any other way here.

Oil selection is a problem for both HARI and gray market dealers. Open the manual and it will say the minimum oil requirement. It's CI-4 for the CRDi if I'm not mistaken. Not sure about the TCi. IMO the viscosity will come next. Fully synthetic or Mineral is next, again IMO, denotes longevity of the quality of the product.

The problem with them is that they're pushing their so called HGMO that's CF rated. Fully Synthetic, yes, but CF rated oil. I is far from F in the English alphabet. I don't know what alphabet they use. If I understand it right, the engine requires CI-4 level oil, whether FS or mineral. They're feeding it lower level CF oil. By making it FS, they're feeding it something that's not up to its requirements, but will last up to 10,000 kms at that level. Is this sabotage so it breaks down quicker and they get service revenue?!

Mga sirs, pwde bang i duplicate susi natin ng ordinary keymaker like Mr. Quickie? May immobilizer ba ang 2009 Starex?

Or dapat sa casa talaga? How much? Uniform ba pricing nila o may suggested casa kayo na cheaper.. TIA!

[IMm29]

I think Mr. Quickie should be able to do that. However, you do lose the keyless functionality (if that's on the key itself).

[ceejay]

Ask ko lang sana yung mga kumuha ng GS sa gray market about the plate# installation. Kanina ko lang napansin na ang lalayo pala ng holes na kabitan ng plate#. Do you guys have the same setup? If so, what do you recommend doing about that?

Nawala nong mag beach kmi kc yung 1 key. Parang di ka comfortable kung 1 key mo. Mahal pala ng blank key sa casa. Built in remote kc, 5900.

Btw, I called Shukey, cutting service is 800, while sa L. O. M. key Greenhills is 2000. Kaya kaya ng Shukey yun? Laki ng price difference eh. Natatakot nman ako baka masira naman ng Shukey yung blank.

Any advice na mas cheaper alternative.

Is anyone gray starex owners here who were flagged down by traffic cops sans the conduction stickers? mainit sa mata ng TMG ang gray market vehicles?

[Takernz]

BTW, I came up with this article about a "boxing match" between gray and HARI vehicles:

Beating the gray | Motoring, Business Features, The Philippine Star | philstar.com.

this was way back in Feb. 2003. HARI claimed they already defeated the gray car importers but today, there are still have gray importers existed. How did this happened? Hyundai Korea even helped HARI to improve their sales by subsidizing HARI.

Because of the Grand Starex. HARI launched the Grand Starex here that is barebones compared to the Grand Starex of the gray market, then the gray market also offered 5 years warranty for their units. Also, gray market dealers have better aftersales support than HARI nowadays.

Question to GS owners na natapos na yung 3 yr LTO registration.

Nalipat nyo ba sa ibang LTO office yung pagrehistro. Wala bang naging problema in terms of tax, ek ek?
Sa diliman daw unang nagreregister and then kami naman sa ibang lto agency. Baka kasi sa diliman lang lagi pwedeng irehistro yun.

Pasensya na 1st time bibilisa gray market.

Just go with casa. Kaya mahal pagawa ng susi sa casa kasi may immobilizer chip. Pag sa labas ka nagpaduplicate at ginamit mo para paandarin GS mo, di mo mapapaandar kasi nga walang immobilizer chip yung mga susi sa labas ng casa.

5 years na din po ba ang warranty ng Grey Market i.e. EuroStandard?

Yup! Hancars, EuroStandard and Pitstop are already offering 5 years warranty
