deposit
300,000 for sorento
200,000 for soul

tapus pre selling price
sorento
1,295,000 gas
1,395,000 diesel

soul
875,000 1.6L

pano yun? if you deposit 200k for the soul bali dapat 675k nalang diba kasi nakalagay 1,075,000 intro price tapus 875k pag mininus mo 200k ang labas 875k. same with the sorento.

here is the article btw
http://www.mb.com.ph/articles/248457...s-sorento-soul

but for me I like both Sorento and the Soul. From What I read and heard about Korean cars. A Lot of Filipinos still see kia and hyundai as different car makers. they say to better get hyundai over kia. But really its the same maker. Same also to Chevrolet (asian model). Its daewoo under the hood. Also in comparison over Toyota Fortuner and kia Sorento. If you really take it to the test over performance the sorento wins a mile. It just got the "KIA" badge. You know the mentality of people. Basta toyota subok na. Yes it's true but why not give korean cars a try and find out.

I'm not a fan of Kia btw but I own a kia and for 5 years It never given me a headache.

As for pricing. Kia Philippines needs a new local distributor. Masyadong old fashioned ang marketing.

"A special package is available offering the buyer to make a fixed, non-refundable deposit of P300,000 good for 180 days, to avail of the special pre-selling price of only P1.195 million for the Sorento 4x2 gas, P1.295 million for the 4x2 diesel, P1.295 million for the 4x4 gas and P1.395 million for the 4x4 diesel. The non-refundable (within 180 days) reservation deposit of P300,000 will be deducted from the total price of the purchased unit.

The Kia Soul 1.6L gas meanwhile is being offered at an introductory price of P1.075 million. However, the customer can make a fixed deposit of P200,000 to avail of the Soul 1.6L special pre-selling price of P875,000."

parang condo 'to. if you buy now ngaun di pa gawa condo, the price for u is 875K not the 1.075M RFO price. all u need to do is to commit or make a downpayment of P200K.

magulo ba?

ang maganda dito eh gainto mag-down ka ng 5 P200K. therefore, you'll reserve 5 Kia Souls. or 1M investment.

pagdating ng units ibenta mo yun 5 units ng say 1M na lang para mabilis. so you get 5M Pesos. subtract your 1M pesos bale 4M - your due pasa Kia which is 675Kx5.

kita ka ng P625K in 6 months sa 1M mo. ngaun if Kia does not deliver, you get back your 1M with no earnings at all tapos t-nime deposit nila 1m kita sila interest

oh di ba>

to be honest, hindi naman talaga para kia soul buyers eto promo na'to. para 'to sa mga koreano dito. they're making a room for investment, ganyan kaya gawa nila sa condo. kita mo mga koreano mayari karamihan ng mga condos dito sa'tin na for sale.

hehehe, sabi ko na nga iba approach ng Kia. in 5 years time, mabubulaga na lang Toyota and Honda sa style ng mga koreans

Yung #3 wala talagang Radio Controls ang EX 4x2, yung 4x4 Cruise Control lang meron wala ding Audio controls

How about the side view mirrors powered foldable kaya?
Yung AC kaya? Fully automatic climate control din kaya?

oh come on.... luma pa rin yang SF mo kesa sa 2010 Sorento nila... wala ka lang yata pambili ng bago kaya ka sourgraping...

3 bangko na kaya ni-reject ko kaya sa auto loan. maganda kasi credit standing since nag-business ako. mga bank managers ko automatic ako i-apply sa mga auto loans ako nag-rereject. ayaw ko na bumili ng tsikot.

the problem today kasi eh nyo ba alam. remember, the oil/fuel hike last 2008. then apply nila sa bigas and other staple foods. then sa fastfood, imagine two piece chicken at P140, eh dati 85 lang yun.

eto yun tinatawag na bubble bursting like the internet bubble burst. and ina-aaply nila sa mga tsikot kaya sobrang overpriced mga tsikot ngaun sobra. kasi dami kumikita sa call center ngaun gusto magka-tsikot. all they do is test the bubble kung hanggang san bibili ang tao ng mga tsikot, imagine a fortuner at 1.7M. 1.2M kaya nagsimula yan

bakit ako magpapaloko bumili ngaun knowing that the bubble will burst? in the end, it will be china who will dictate car prices.

Ha ha ha good for you... Pero mas magaling ang LOLO ko... he he he.. So what's you point here again? :

**jayjaucian** · March 24th, 2010 09:23 AM

xander ..

1) hindi na fully auto yung aircon
2) mukang hindi na rin powered ang side mirrors.

good deal pa rin ba ang LX 4 x 2 r - diesel? for P1,295??

or should I still push through with the 2010 Sta Fe ... MSRP P1.628?
