2008 Hyundai Starex (Gen. 4)

[numbah5]

Congrats, numbah5!

If you don't mind, here are some unsolicited comments:
- Nice Black and White contrast! Linis tignan.
- No love for the chrome handles though as it deviates from the B&W set up.
- Ever considered repainting the stepboard?
- Full pano roof, or sa second row lang?
- So it's a 6-7 seater right? Hate to be the driver when all that plushness is at the back seats.
- Have you had the speed limiter deactivated?
- What brand of tint did they install?
- Pa-leather wrap mo na din yung steering wheel and shift knob
- D*mn that's a large tv!

- They were in the process of removing the chrome door handles as per my instructions this morning, but my mom prefers that it stays. Don't worry it's just the door handles that have chrome accents.

- Stepboard won't be repainted. Gonna keep it stock looking.

- Kahit ako pa ang driver kanina, ang sarap umupo! All seats have that kind of leather seats. Yup it can only seat 7 full sized adults. Kasya kahit 10 basta hindi fat at hindi tall.

- On saturday pa namin masusubukan ang rear monitor. We are bringing it to Anvaya Cove for the weekend.

- Dual sunroof siya. One in front, one at the 2nd row.

- Ganda nga ng White eh! My dad was eyeing the Ocean View color before, but me and my mom were able to convince him to go for White. Iba talaga ang dating.

- Speed limiter will be remove during the 1,000 km PMS. Di ko muna pinatanggal kasi break-in period pa, aalagaan muna namin ang makina. At least it's free.

On a side note naman, we were given a free remote transmitter for the spare key. Ang usual kasi isa lang ang remote ng GS.

Also, I had the horns changed before we had it released. Bosch Europa na ang busina niya. Also, the tint is V-Kool K14 sa front WS, V-Kool OEM 05 wraparound. Free ang OEM 05 tint.

All in all, we are happy that we bought it! And Eurostandard Motors, especially our SA Michelle and her immediate boss Gina, have been very helpful in our purchase. 👍👍 to them! Eto walang bias, Eurostandard na ang may pinakamagandang deal at pinakamaayos kausap na gray market dealer ng mga Hyundai vehicles.

∆∆∆ Congrats bro...

Bro.imm's comment -precisely the reason why I did not put chrome on my side mirrors....

[jaggerx3]

Good deal from Eurostandard sir ah. If given a chance to buy a GS again. Sa Eurostandard na ako kukuha. It looks like di nila inooverrate ang GS when it comes to maintenance.

*numbah5,

Nice! Enjoy!

Reason i asked about the tint is because they've previously tinted a friend's newly released ride with 'VKool OEM'. May pagka-pink yung shade from the inside! That's when they admitted 'Class B' yung gamit nila...

Gamit nilang oil brand is S-Oil. If you go 100% (fully) synthetic, yung S-Oil DXO ilalagay nila. Rated API CG-4, CH-4 and CI-4 yun with 10W40 viscosity. Change oil is every 8-10k kms. Unlike the other famous gray market dealer of Hyundai vehicles which uses Castrol oils that downgrades the performance of the GS and insists on changing the oil every 5k kms even though you are using fully synthetic oil.

*IMm29, mine doesn't have a pinkish shade. It's the same as the OEM 05 installed on our Trailblazer and BRZ. Eurostandard showed to us the sample shades on V-Kool's brochure, kaya nakapili kami ng maayos.

Good good! Sana natakot na sila Eurostandard at tumino na ang "V-Kool" nila. By your indication, pwede ka na magkabit ng 'I'm VKool' sticker. Hehehe!

Good news din sa oil. Gotta love competition. Brings out good alternatives.

Actually, since I first started to talk to them (last January pa), I compared them to Hancars and Pitstop in terms of convincing us to buy the GS from them. Very professional kausap and nag-uupdate kahit gabi na. And kahit gabi na they still entertain questions from us. Si Pitstop, maayos din naman kausap except for the male SA na malakas mang BS. Hancars naman, sorry pero I find them masungit. Kulang sa customer service. In terms of discounts, pinakagenerous si Eurostandard. They gave us a huge discount. 50k, bank financing payment. Pitstop, same payment mode 30k discount. Hancars, 20k discount same payment mode.

Oo, bolero at mahilig magbitaw ng mga false info yung male SA na yun sa Pitstop. Sabi niya yung mga PHDM Santa Fe hindi raw e-VGT ang makina dahil CRDi lang daw ang emblem sa likod at yung mga KDM lang ang
e-VGT. Akala siguro niya lahat ng customer walang alam sa sasakyan.

Dapat nga maging mas cautious sya sa binibitawan nyang salita, sa tingin ko kasi kadalasan ng bumibili ng KDM GS eh yun ang mas may alam tungkol sa sasakyan, normally kasi yung mga wala masyadong alam sa sasakyan bibilhin nyan ang unang makita sa casa, usually pa naman di lahat ng tao alam na may nageexist na KDM at HARI version ng GS.

Sadly, kahit isumbong pa natin yung mga pinaggagawa niya, hindi siya mabibigyan ng sanction kasi close friend siya ng owner ng Pitstop. Doon kasi merong KK. Kaibigan at ka-ibigan 😅😅

Isa lang yung male SA ng Pitstop. Close friend siya ng may-ari. Yung ka-ibigan ng may-ari, boss ng mga SA ;)

Hindi naman Limousine yung GS namin. Semi Limousine siya. It has 4 captain chairs (driver, front passenger and the 2nd row seats). The 2 front seats has heaters, with the driver's seat also having a cooler also (I tried it kanina and kagabi). Mas worth it ang Semi Limousine kesa Limousine. You don't need a high roof and its drawers. Pag yun ang kinuha mong variant ng GS, the sensors at the tollgates of the expressways will automatically classify it as Class 2 due to its height. Mabenta ang Semi Limousine. Sobrang sulit for the price. Only the gray market has that variant Much better and more value for money than the Alphard. I will refer you to Eurostandard if you go with the GS.

By the way, our GS Semi Limousine came with a mini refridgerator as standard. ☺

The issue with the Limo version is its height. Very unusable for self-driven folks. It also looks awkward IMO. Parang nakapatong lang.

How much for the semi-limo?

There is that smoothness that a diesel can't deliver vs. a 3.5L v6 gas engine, though the Alphard is pretty bare.

2.420M with the Royale grille and front chin (ours will be installed either this week or next week). Since we were given a 50k discount, we paid 2.370M with 5 years warranty. Ours is based on the CVX Premium variant, thus the auto climate control A/C.

[IMm29]

P600k cheaper than an Alphard. Hmmmm...

[victorevolution]

yeah but i need a daily drive with a massage chair and comfy room... mukhang gmc savana lang ata meron kaso masyadong malaki(duramax diesel)

sa grand sta. fe naman driver side lang meron.

sorry no idead na iba ang semi limousine sa limoune ng starex

huwag niyo ng itanong kung bakit kailangan ng massage chair( lumbar)

by the way numbah5 how's your land rover and tb?

[numbah5]

Saka na LR. It's not yet needed. TB is fine. But I'm still enjoying the GS since it's the newest car. It's more comfy and a lot easier to drive than the TB and my Montero, with a quieter diesel engine also. The GS is roomy naman. I'm sure the heater on the driver's seat can be very relaxing also

Wow! That is now a fortune, IMO!
