2013 Hyundai Santa Fe VS 2007 Audi Q7

[ENDLESS9]

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 imperialv! naliwanagan ako dun ah! ang naisip ko lang pagdating talaga sa casa kahit hyundai, toyota, honda, etc... taga talaga sa presyo pero kng sa mga kilala na mga shops ok rin mas mura pa. Example un Emperor mas mura dun dami rin 3rd world cars nagpapa-PMS sa kanila and kahit ano pa brand ng car. And sa ibang kilalang shops din sa casa mahal talaga.

Pero lets say bumili ako ng 2013 hyundai santa fe 2.2M after 5 yrs kapag binenta ko cguro ito ang value nya eh 1.5-1.7M nlng... pro un 2007 Audi Q7 (6yrs na this 2013 + 5 yrs = 11 yr old SUV) cguro bka mabenta ko pa rin ito ng 1.5M which is same na sila ng value ng 2013 hyundai santa fe.

Well sabagay mataas talaga un resale value ng Audi compare sa Hyundai.. but hyundai nowadays grabe tlga sa design at technologies!

Baka hindi mo na mabenta ng 1.2M ang q7 after 5 years.. and after 5 years, hindi mo alam kung ano ang masisira sa Q7 .. Nevertheless, at the end of the day, ikaw pa rin ang mag decide.. You can also check the 4x2, ok din siya..

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)

Thanks viper888... Occassional car bro kaya pinagiisipan ko un Audi Q7... tama ka european cars talaga nagtataka ako ang taas na ng mileage tapos old model pro un resale value ang mahal pa rin... same value na ng bagong car.

Well eto un maganda part kapag bumili ako ng 2nd hand european car kapag binenta ko ulit un mataas parin ang value!

Un ford explorer bro gas kasi eh kaya sayang talaga

Un lang habang tumatagal bumibigat un maintenance....bro ask ko lng kung icocompare mo un rating nun bagong kuha nyo un Audi Q7 way back 2009 and now nun nakuha mo naman un 2013 hyundai santa fe... ano un mas masasabe mong mas nasatisfy ka?

[imperialv]

Siyempre Q7.. pero practicality SF3..

[yebo]

hindi ba sobrang baba yung 1.9M for a 2007 model? kasi yung nakikita ko sa $ulit nasa 3M range pa ang same model year Q7s. you know, if it's too good to be true ...

sorry ha, alarm bells ringing in my head kasi.

[Syuryuken]

ayos lang yung 1.9M kung tested naman sa lagpas bubong na baha

[yebo]

^yan na nga iniisip ko e, convertible to submarine.

[viper888]

*op
Why dont you check the certified pre owned(cpo) lots by Audi, BMW and MB

these tend to me more expensive than the one's you see in sulit, with your 2.5m you could probably get a 2-3 year old BmwX3. they usually could come with some form of warranty.

[parakitoJDM]

for practical reasons get the SF3 (kahit FWD version even moreso); if u want to show-off a bit then get the Q7....
thanks ser ImperialV, wow tindi pala singil ng CASA sa mga ganyan...I know its expensive, but didn't see it to
be that expensive..... hehe
