I just bought a Thule gutterless crossbar base specifically intended for the Carens. Bought it from Thule Greenhills along Ortigas Ave. You have two options: Aluminum cross rails at around 17k or rubber-coated steel bars at around 12.5K. The carrier basket also comes in either aluminum or steel. The small steel carrier is about 6k+ and the small aluminum is 16k+. Thule recomends the smaller carrier as more aesthethically proper for the Carens. Installation takes about 20 mins. The crossbar may take a normal aluminum carrier from Banawe, just need an adaptor attachment. Small carrier( Explorer brand ) cost 3.5k up.
wow. ang lalaki na tlaga ng ulo ng kia.
nag pa quote ako sa wheels new manila. im supposed to get carens lx. trading in our crv gen 1. they appraised it at 520K. im getting it cash. i even have the quotation with me.
now the agent texted me saying they could only appraised the crv at 480K only.
bad move. nakakawalang gana bumili sa kanila.
OT: Is Kia New Manila the same with Hyundai E. Rodriguez??
Para di naman ma OT. To be fair, maganda na yung appraisal nila sa Gen 1 CRV mo. I mean that's is like a 10 year old car now maybe even older... Of course they also have to make money. If you want to get it for higher sell it outside of course mas mahirap than trade-in but you get more money...
yes. its the same with hyundai, ssangyong and kia. all under wheels new manila. in erod.
yea i know maganda paren appraisal nila. pero from what ive heard and research here, kia could give 200k discount dba. if 480K appraise nila, then it's like them buying crv for only 280K. (lugi na ako)
bad trip lang coz i have a quotation. and im supposed to get a unit this week na. they even said na may available na silang unit
sir dieselnubi try niyo po other dealer. i recommend kia quirino ave. doon ako kumuha ng carens and mas mataas appraisal nila compare to wheels inc.
san banda po sa quirino avenue? mdyo madalas ako napapadaan don pero wala ako napapansin na kia casa there...
ranting seems to paid off.
wheels called me up again. we have a good deal na.
see u soon carens.
btw, we got fine silver EX A/T. sulit ba to or LX nalang? diff of 85K
get the ex variant. sayang na rin yung driver airbag, oem roof rails, 16" wheels, foglights, oem keyless entry and back up sensor.
ay wala pa. hehehe. cguro by monday meron na. do u guys follow break in peroid on ur carens?
Ganito sir dieselNUBI ang nakalagay sa manual sa break-in.
VEHICLE BREAK-IN PROCESS
No special break-in period is needed. By following a few simple precautions for the first 1,000 km you may add to the performance, economy and life of your vehicle.
o Do not race the engine
o While driving, keep your engine speed (rpm), between 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm
o Do not maintain a single speed for long periods of time, either fast or slow. Varying engine speed is needed to properly break-in the engine
o Avoid hard stops, except in emergencies, to allow the breaks to seat properly
o Don't let the engine idle longer than 3 minutes at one time
o Don't tow a trailer during the first 2,000 km of operation
Oo nga pala sir, M/T yung sa akin, ewan ko lang po kung ganito rin ang nakasulat sa LX or EX... pero palagay ko parehas din
