    Why don't you just buy a used local unit? Kasi grabe daw lumaspag ng sasakyan ang mga Koreano. At least kung local second hand unit ang kukunin mo, pwede mo kilalanin yung seller then you get the idea kung paano ginamit yung sasakyan.

    As far as I know, parts are supposed to be the same. Although i have heard that locally released units are supposedly "tropicalized" to suit our weather conditions. Tama po ba mga sirs?

    * sir litoskid, I suggest if it's not possible to get hold of a locally released unit (mas mahal po kasi yung mga local, tama po ba?) why not find a second hand "direct korea" unit that was imported brand new, in that way you could get the service history of the unit rather than being clueless otherwise

    Marami din dito sa Davao. Mga Korean nationals ang may ari. As to quality, di ko pa masyadong natingnan.

    Mga Sportage dami na tumatakbo dito.

    parts walang pagkakaiba... standard kasi yan eh.. the question is kung original parts yung bibilhin mo.. hindi mo din kasi nasabi kung surplus ang parts mo from korea, if that's the case wag ka mag-expect na magtatagal yung piyesa mo..

    i was able to make a few comparisons with the local units (HARI) and the imported (korean unit)..i have a grand starex (gold series) from HARI but its now being repaired due to a freaky incident, meanwhile they provided a service unit ( CVX model) which is imported. here are my observations..

    1) static build up local = meron cvx = wala so far
    2)A/T oil level dipstick local = wala cvx = meron
    3) oil cooler local = not sure cvx = meron
    4)seatbelt warning local = wala cvx = meron
    5)auto door lock*40 kph local = wala cvx = meron
    the other observations i noticed : madalas magdumi yung front wheels/mags ng local unit ko..im not sure if malambot yung disc brake pads or malambot yung disc rotor mismo..kasi yung sa cvx e hindi nangyayari yung ganun..i also noticed that parang meron nang significant wear yung rotor disc ng local compared to the cvx pero my local unit has only 7700 kms mileage whereas yung cvx has 29000 kms.. and to think that the gold series is supposed to be the top of the line model model for the local while the cvx is considered mid level..
