Bro Mschumacher, bro itlog na pula (and others), where did you have the rustproofing done? How much did it cost? And how long did it take?

If ever kasi, this will be my only car so I can't afford to not be able to use it during workdays...

Just went to one of the car seat maker earlier and ordered one set of leather seats for my ride. I chose the black one para ndi dumihin. Will post the picture after iinstall sa saturday. 5500 petot ang naging damage.

Una asking price niya is 7000 petot and since na madami na akong pinagawa sa kanila na seat cover sabi 5500 na lang.

Thanks for the quick reply, bro! Which carseat place did you go to?

Hello! greetings all!

Thank god I ran into this forum now. Was going to to go make a downpayment on a Carens Gas EX A/T this morning na. Good thing nakita ko yung concerns on rustproofing, FC and PMS. I'll make sure to bring these issues up with the agent and see what I can still squeeze out her(figuratively)!

ANy other concerns i should be aware of? Thanks in advance!

MG Square here in Valenzuela.

How about a small EB for carens owners or kia owners. Soon to be owners are ok as well.

para makita natin mga mods na ginawa.

Why bother using a Gas variant when you can get the CRDI variant. It is much more fun to drive and you can really feel the power. With regards to the rustproofing issue. Ok naman ang rustproof ng casa e kaya lang in our case kasi. Talagang nirurustproof namin yun mga cars namin e. Wala kasi talaga kaming tiwala sa mga rustproofing ng iba e. If you want higher FC and powerful engine go for the CRDI talaga. Man if you stepped on the pedal talagang ipupush ka to your seat.

Guys tanong ko lang, ilang liters ba talaga ang tank ng crdi ng carens. Kasi the last time na nagpafull tank ako e almost 50 liters ang nailagay kong diesel and ang reading ko sa guage nun time before filling it up is almost 1/4 pa e. Pero nung first time ako nagfull tank e 53 liters lang kinain hmm weird e sagad na yun guage ko nun e at lagi na ilaw ng ilaw ang meter ko.

I always fill it up "sagad"

I would also suggest getting the CRDi for power. Sabi nga ng mga anak ko pag umovertake kami, para daw sinisibat yung car.
