*SG...

quick question lang bro.

ano yung difference ng starex units na sinesell ng pitstop and standout sa HARI units?

*loco.

bro, mas feature packed yata. pero sa pagkakaalam ko ang warranty lang ng units na binebenta ng pitstop at standout eh 1 yr lang compared sa 5yrs ng warranty ng HARI.

Pero, tumatanggap naman ata rin ang HARI ng units na hindi galing sakanila pag dating sa service if ever need na. Unlike TMP na need mo pa magpay ng certain fee para ka lang makaavail ng kanilag service.

I may be wrong though.

Standout Motors = mas mura kasi 1 year lang ang warranty. Walang back up camera at walang signal repeater sa side mirror

Pitstop Motors = mas mahal ng konti sa Standout kasi 5 Years din ang warranty. Meron back up camera at signal repeater sa side mirror. Kaya mas maraming bumibili sa Pitstop keysa Standout Motors

HARI units = No comment :hysterical:

Ah, I didn't know na 5 years din pala warranty ng Pitstop. No wonder dami bumibili sakanila. Pero yun nga mostly Hyundai dahil sa ginawang " scheme " ng TMP para magkapera.

Maganda ang Grand Starex TCI GL M/T though 10 Seater yung saamin.

Walang TCI units sa grey market AFAIK.Panay lang yan CDRI VGT units.

**Starex_Gold** · June 1st, 2010 12:47 PM

Dalawang variant lang naman ang Pitsop units eh. CVX, HVX. at isang Limousine.

Tsaka sa Korea, wala na talaga TCi. Gumagawa lang sila ng TCi para sa 3rd world countries na masyadong namamahalan sa VGT units.

renzo: balita ko nga may gusto bumili ng HVX sa Pitsop

ung centra lock pde naman po ipagawa medyo mahal nga lang. nasa 10k ata kasama alarm

Regarding the engine, the TCi can manage Baguio without difficulty. I've driven our TCi with more than 10 pax to Baguio from Aritao and also via Marcos Highway and all I can say is it depends on the abilities of the driver more than the engine. In the case of Lui, he's comparing it to the CRDi which has 70% more HP and 73% more torque so it's natural that he finds the TCi "medyo mahina". But as he also mentioned, compare the GS TCi with the Toyota Grandia CRDi and the similarities are only on paper.

Regarding central locking and alarm, I paid almost P14K more than 2 years ago when I got our GS TCi from the casa (Code CA-120 alarm). You can get these cheaper nowadays from your favorite car accessories place.

ang ayoko lang dito is wala pa syang central lock na kasama

Ok naman yung ride pero mas gusto ko yung ride ng lumang Starex namin ('05 GRX TCI A/T), pati yung aircon mas malamig yung sa lumang Starex.
