**ENDLESS9** · June 12th, 2013 11:21 PM

Guys help nmn.. Ask ko lng if ano mas ok bilhin in overall (Exterior, Interior, FC, Value for Money, Resale Value) at bakit?

2013 Hyundai Santa Fe (Top of the Line) Diesel– price 2.2 M
2007 Audi Q7 Diesel –price 1.9M

Thanks for the help guys!

it will probably depend on the odo reading of the Q7, after all iti s already 6 years old. 6.45M when new and 1.9M now, looks like a bargain but then if the mileage is high already baka lugi ka na din.

Tnx yebo... ODO reading ng Audi Q7 - about 70,000 kms. Lugi na ba un?

We have an 2009 audi q7.. Overall performance, talo ang SF3 kaysa sa Q7, pero ang downside nya maintenance.. Last month, nag pa PMS ako sa PGA Audi, I spent around 40K for ordinary change oil and battery replacement.. Inabot ng 20K ang battery, ayaw ko kasi ordinary motolite lang kasi, the battery needs to register with the ECU, otherwise may mga basic functions na possibly magloko at hindi gagana.. Malapit na yan sa major maintenance, so you will be spending almost 50K sa PMS nyan... Ang OEM gulong nya is around 40K din..

Kung wow factor ang habol mo, yes mas wow talaga ang Q7, pero wow din ang maintenance mo..

Resale value.. IMHO, among the european brands, Audi has the lowest resale value.

Salamat sa info, just reading this made me realize more that mahal talaga ang maintenance ng european cars.

Naku huwag naman sana may sumagot na mura lang ang maintenance ng european cars basta alam kung saan ipapagawa...

My basis is casa to casa ... PGA vs HARI.

70k km. ano ba ang audi, timing belt or chain? change oil pa lang 20k na, magkano kaya kung palit ng timing belt?

SF na lang. or dagdag ka konti ford explorer ecoboost, haba lang ng pila.

3.2 pajero bk discounted na down to P2.48M, di kasi mabenta masyado.

The main question is

Everyday car or Occasional/weekend car?

If everyday: Santa Fe
Occasional: Q7

Have you considered the Ford Explorer?
A set of tires for large SUVS are around 40-50k, whether its an old Patrol or Porsche Cayenne

I just realized, a same-era (2006-2013)BMW X5 doesnt go any lower than P2.5 million, and that's a high mileage base model. Goes to show how bad the resale value of that Audi is considering the X5 has all the issues of expensive maintenance and more expensive tires(run flat tires).
To make matters even worse, the cheapest 2007 ML is P3.2 million (30k kms)

Ang alam ko bro timing belt un eh ewan ko lang sa mga new models baka chain na? Panigurado mahal talaga parts neto.. european cars mas mahal pa cguro ito compare sa american cars when it comes to parts.

Yup pansin ko nga sa pajero sa sobrang mahal kasi ng pricing nila kaya hindi bumenta.

Well pinag-iisipan ko pa bro un ford explorer ecoboost... downside is GAS sya... kung diesel lang ito panigurado Pancakes na!
