STA FE (Gen 3)

[macychic]

Hi guys! Planning to get either 2013 Sta Fe 4x2 or a Toyota RAV4 next week on a cash basis. Does anyone here knows how much is the discount and freebies? Also, I'm particularly interested sa insurance. Please PM me if you have any idea about my queries! Thanks

Got 25k discount from Global, look for ms Bernadette. Re insurance, used to have Chartis insurance for my focus. Based on my experience ang bilis ng claim sa kanila when my car doors were scraped by an inconsiderate taxi (and sped off) I asked for doors replacement na lang, pumayag naman. (NOTE: I'm not affiliated with Chartis) right now di sila ang insurance ko dahil bank financing.

As for the freebies, free vcool tint (maganda naman, though not their premium line) and the usual LTO stuff

Congrats bro! Sa wakas, hehehe

I hope all goes well Sir Larry.

Went to Greenhills for the past two nights ang daming ng SF3 akong nakikita. Just this afternoon came across 5 on the road. Daming white and Arabian Mocha if not mistaken.

Ako naman red merlot at titanium gray, hehe. Just goes to show that even with a higher price tag, people will buy as long as its worth it.

is it true that v-kool tints needs 4 weeks of curing time? Mine still have bubbles

I had a Huper Optik tint installed in my Mazda CX5 and it took 3 weeks for the few bubbles to be completely gone. So I guess it's just the same as V-Kool.

I heard about Huper Optik is yours the one with ceramic tech which competes with the metal flake tint in the market?

Yes, it's the ceramic type. Very good quality but quite expensive. 22k for the whole CX5, window, back and full windshield.

Sorry, double post

Hmmm.. Are you using their 40 or 70 series the one with metal flakes? If so, that really takes about 2 months. I have V40 installed in my car and V70 on my CUV. Makapal yung tint na may metal flakes. But if this is the lower grade should be within 2 weeks, pero better result ang 3 weeks.

I'm not sure, I think the signature series, btw thanks for the input sir

For me, no need but up to you, hehe. Anyway, kasya yung plastic spare tire cover ng monty sa sf3 kung gusto mo may cover.

Ah okay...got to look for that cover. Ayokong kunin yung sa monty ko so i have peace of mind in both. hehehe. Thanks a lot, doc!

[tsupermario]

for the monty tire cover, try to ask import elementz along araneta ave. meron din sa s*lit

[Automahn]

Mga sirs, does the spare tire of the SF need an extra lock just like what they do with the Fortuner's and Innova's. TIA!

I don't know about the Fortuner or Innova but the SF's spare tire is held by a cable, not the chain type. Yung chain nilalagyan ng padlock para di manakaw.

Replica lang yung sa Import Elementz which is made of fiberglass & costing around P3k. Sa sulit may mga nagbebenta ng orig which is made of hard plastic but costing between P4.5-P5.5k.

Here's mine, got it from sulit:

Finally got my SF, white color din. Got a very good deal for it! Ask ko lang sa mga owners, meron ba break in period pag diesel and do I need to wait for a couple of minutes before I turn off the engine?

Hi sir! I've sent a PM to one of the vendor at Sulit and he says he's not sure if it will fit our SF. Mind telling me which particular vendor did you contact just to make sure I buy the correct cover? TIA!

Cool.. Na try mo fit doc? How does it attach to the tire meron lock yung cover?

Quick question sa mga current owners ng 4x2 M/T variant: How's the clutch pedal feel? Mabigat ba like the monty sport 4x2 M/T? Ang basis ko ng magaang na clutch is the Isuzu Crosswind (I wonder how they did na magaang yung clutch nun). Can anyone share their clutch experience?

So far, no MT variant has been released by HARI
