[thecount123]

Hi to all:

Newbie here. planning to buy a 2nd car and in reading the inputs in 3G thread here, also considering Starex CRDI A/T.

a. what year model should I consider? 2004 or 2005 or up?

b. what's are the difference between interior and exterior features 2004 and 2005 starex crdi A/T models. If anyone have photos or know the link/s to view them, pls post.

c. more or less how much approximate are these 2005 and 2006 models.

thanks for all the help

hello, konti lang ang difference ng 2004 sa 2005 starex na crdi. siguro front grill lang ang pinaka-pansinin. I had my 2003 starex which was not crdi sold at 650k last year lang at pinalitan ko ng 2007 crdi. siguro mabibili mo this time na second hand ay model 2000 to 2005 model at not less than 600k depende na din sa condition. good luck

thanks for the input hunt.

may i ask how much did you get your 2007 model crdi, and ilan mileage.

medyo malabo ang tanong mo e, yung 2003 starex (hindi siya crdi) ko nabenta ko last year(2007) for 650k at ang milage niya ay 39k lang mahigit kaya yung nakabili tuwang-tuwa kasi maganda pa siya, walang gasgas ang interior & body except bumper for minor galos,that is normal, bumper un e. I paid all 650k sa d/p ng new starex crdi kaya konti lang m/a.

i saw an '02 Starex selling for 548K in one of the used car lots in the metro. is this a good deal? and what are the usual things to look out for given this car's age?
