Starex "pang negosyo" edition

[badkuk]

there was an article on this recently, pero not too many details. so far ang alam ko:

1. prices start at 890k up
2. uses non-CRDI 2.5L diesel engine
3. comes in a variety of configurations -- commuter, delivery van, etc.


Can anyone fill in the blanks? i'm guessing that safety features, creature comforts, and probably a rear aircon or two have been taken out


oh btw, how do you think this measures up to the ever reliable L300? pag presyo pag uusapan e hands down L300 B)

Just saw a small banner of this as I passed through Hyundai in Shaw. It seems similar to what Nissan did to market the Urvan for business use as well.

Meron akong nakita na import na HSPU na Starex. Nagulat nga ako kala ko chop-chop! Starex ang front and truck yung likod!

1. The engine is the old school 2.6l normally aspirated version making 79bhp. This is the usual engine of commercial/cargo model Starex units in the world market.
2. The cargo version has a cargo barrier to protect the driver.
3. Not sure how much the added cost will be for a commuter version. Not sure about the seating configuration also.

For business, the L300 easily wins even on purchase price alone.

The Starex is a better ride if you are the ones doing your own rounds or if care about the well being of your employees. L300 FB's are also prone to kotong and the rear windows and locks are easily defeated making it prone to theft. The container version, on the other hand, is not exactly weathertight and is prone to leaks (hence the apperance of the 'WT' variant later on). Off loading is also easier with the Starex due to the sliding side door and wide opening rear doors.

May SVX ata niyan sa Korea. Ganun yung Starex ng isang student sa UST dati. Dual rear wiper din. SVX grade ang trim at interior.

May Club/Gold kaya?

hmm... kaka-excite din neto hehehe. I dread the times that I have to drive my business L300FB to carry off some merchandise. if with this one, parang ang sarap dalhin hehehe

but it's pricey pa din for 800k. hirap bawiin nyan. and of course, kung papa-driver pa, baka magasgasan yun puti paint. unlike the L300FB, kahit magasgas ok lang.

the cargo bin needs to be protected more. dapat hindi board ang ginamit nala. madali mapunit yan when loading objects with sharp edges.

pero ok yun sliding doors para sa hard to reach end ng cargo. sa L300FB, para ka nag-treadmill if you'll stay at the inner end when unloading some stuff.

ok kaya shocks system nito. I would assume mas insulated ito sa L300FB.

yes sir. I do care about the well-being of my riding emps. pero may seats ba sya sa likod parang wala ata sa picture. sa L300FB kasi very punishing yung jeepney like seats sa likod

overpriced IMO....

Kasing presyo yata eto ng Isuzu na truck na nakita ko recently sa newspaper....

1. prices start at 890k up

The sales rep at Hyundai Dagupan said that the version in the photo posted by Otep sells for P805,000 and another version with a full partition separating the front and rear cabin sells for P808,000. Neither variant has rear air conditioning, so maybe the P890,000 price you read about is for the one with rear aircon and seats.
