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.

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.

**Sleepcare** · January 24th, 2011 08:46 PM

Our 1999 SVX A/T Turbo Intercooled model-P980,000 with roof rack, ladder, spoiler,tint, automobilkote full-body rustproof, 1 year LTO.

**kha** · January 24th, 2011 08:50 PM

gustong gusto ko yung 2000 model na starex, lalo na kung black

**Starex_Gold** · January 24th, 2011 09:06 PM

OT: pwede na ba 'to boss kha?

73K odo lang. hehehehehe :naughty2:

**kha** · January 24th, 2011 09:15 PM

hahaha ang bilis ah! yan yung 2003 club? alin ang mas ok, yung 2003 o yung 2000?

**Sleepcare** · January 24th, 2011 09:15 PM

^Sir, care to share the year model?

Starex Gold,

Ganda ng Club nyo ah! Dream van ko talaga yang club version na Gen2. Classic na classic.

Yung hood scoop nyan, ganyin din yung sa kin, nag pa repaint ako nyan. Kupasin talaga noh?

Kaya pala medyo mura yung SVX nyo Grey pala. Kung alam ko lang na mas maganda o pareho lang Grey at HARI noon, nag Grey na lang ako.Medyo hinde pa sikat na alternative ang Grey noon. Naalala ko, yung office mate ko nakabili ng Grey SVX pero twin sunroof na!

Kha,

Not much difference yung 2000 and 2003 Club noon. Pareho na syang crystal tail lights at fender lights. Chromed bits. Siguro baka color ng interior. Si Hyundai mahilig magpalit ng color scheme sa loob,lalo na pag Grey.

Sleeper,

Medyo expensive ah...Siguro yung add-ons mo nagpamahal. Pero as long na happy ka... why not?

CVT,

Nice to know that..Hirap maglagay ng wiper sa likod. Dapat naman talaga pag Van, standard na rear wiper eh.

Yung SVX grey market siya, pero itong Club galing E. Rod na kaya Velvet seats at walang sunroof.. At standard yung roof rack & ladder (na inalis naman namin

)

Interior color is the same. Mags design, "Club / SVX" sticker at bigger "Turbo Intercooler" sticker. Yan lang difference bro.

OT na pala tayo, gawa tayo sarili nating thread?

I have been following the discussion here on the GS 2011 CVX, HVX and I am convinced that it is better to buy from the gray market. Hancars I have visited and have talked to both father and son owners (Webin and Webson) who by the way are very accommodating and even offered me to test drive a a GS, and which I did.

But I cant buy unless I sell my Toyota Innova 2005, Diesel, Model E...anyone care to buy from or sell this for me?...this would be a great help..PM for details.

Congrats to all those who contributed a lot of inputs on this topic. Readers do get enlightened a lot. More power to you guys.

May black HVX ba na available sa HANCARS ngayon?

**petixs** · January 26th, 2011 06:23 AM

SG,

Black GS! Something in black makes the GS stand out! Pero to be honest not a fan of the "semi" two tone treatment sa Black GS. Maybe its a way to see the difference of the TCi and CRDi GS? I think all black is the way.And no Chrome, maybe in the grills pwede.

Speaking of aesthetics, are there GS owners who modify their GS to look like other spec GS? Like Euro? KDM? Are there major differences or subtle lang?

Pero, honestly,- iyan ang accessory na hindi ko ginagamit.

Come to think of it. I never turned-on the rear wiper of our Gen3...

And, I turned-on that of our GS just once, out of curiosity...
