Choosing a Car: Do you Use your Heart or Mind?

[testament11]

Yung mga experienced mechanics either go abroad or establish their own business (talyer)

Hahaha! Speaking of this one, pinag-iisipan namin ng erpats ko magtayo ng talyer. Sabi ko nalang eh madali lang bumili ng gamit, pero mahirap makahanap ng magagaling na mekaniko.

BTT:
Kung ganyan ang mindset mo, Cathy, wag mo na pangarapin magkaroon ng isang Montero na gustong gusto mo.

Brand new na nga na Montero pero wala pa ring peace of mind? Pano pa kaya kung 2nd hand? Ano na lang ang makapagbibigay ng peace of mind sayo?

Pero ganda ng Fort sa white pearl.

neither... i use my wallet. hehehe...

got a budget of less than 100k for a used car. my kupal mechanic talked me into buying a non running car saying he can fix it. eventually, it turned out that the unit i got has a busted engine and was flooded. i spent about another 40k to get it to work with a new mechanic. gremlins appear every now and then and seeing it is like the car is telling me that i am such a sucker so i sold it for 50k just to get rid of it.

i added another 30k and made a downpayment for a bnew econo hatch with 8.5 k. monthly amort. it's all i could afford since i'm also paying for a lot i purchased and paying for 6 years. so far so good. iba pala talaga pag brand new. it's turning a year old and happy with it. except when there's 4 people riding it.

Heart.

My mind is already busy enough as it is. I don't need to add another 'practical' buy to it. I'll drive what I WANT to drive.

if im not mistaken, bumaba na base model ng fortuner. pang tapat sa glx manual ng montero

1.3M base model ng fortuner and 1.2M sa montero.

I like the ride height of an suv and the look of the montero. I want an suv for when I go home to Laguna and I can take my dog along pa. I don't like Hyundai e.

Then you have your answer.

Pointless to buy a car and lahat sisitahin... Baka kung pms ka sa mitsu, masabi pa na panget showroom, hindi friendly mga tao, etc. Unlike sa Toyota pasig, all praises.

Mahirap yan... Hindi ka sasaya sa mitsubishi. Stress lang and at the end baka humirit ka "dapat Toyota na lang".

Kahit honda preference ko, yung kumuha ako mitsubishi, steady lang. No comparison needed kasi hindi naman ako titira sa showroom nila. Nung may kalampag, pinasok lang sa warranty, ginawa na.

I'm in a really big dilemma in choosing my next vehicle.

My heart is really with the Montero GLX M/T (1,290,000). I have wanted this vehicle from as far back as when I got my Altis in 2010. When I was recently given a chance by my family to justify my getting an SUV, I was very ecstatic about it as I could finally get a Montero. But then I started reading about the horror stories on the after sales service of Mitsubishi so now I am having second thoughts about the car that I really want. The Fortuner is beyond budget and I really don't like the looks. The Hilux is an option but based on the feedback I got, it's not such a good pick up (matagtag) and I did not like it so much too when I went to the showroom.

My mind goes for the new full model change Altis G A/T coming next year (less than 900,000 +) I am a Toyota fan and I will definitely have peace of mind if I get an Altis. I also have nothing but good things to say about Toyota Pasig. I know that if I get a car at Toyota Pasig that my car (and I) will be taken cared of and I will have no difficulty claiming warranty. I also get to save money if I get an Altis because I would assume that the base model or G model would not reach the 1.2M mark naman, plus I will get to own an AT vehicle since my current Altis is a manual.

so in choosing a car, do you go for what you desire (heart) or what is practical (mind)?

first of all why do you need an SUV? do you carry alot of passengers around? and why montero? i think there are alot better choices now, besides, matagal na model na montero. we just got one but i like the ride of my sportage better, why not consider this or a tucson?

Saw a display unit of Montero GLX automatic Non-V yesterday, ayos na ayos talaga. Ang hindi ko lang gusto ay yung feel ng driver seat, hindi komportable. Pero despite that gusto ko pa rin siya. Ang cons na lang ay:
* Saan may matinong Mitsubishi CASA na ipagkakatiwala PMS.
* Target ng ASBUwaya ang mga private diesel vehicles, operation kotong
