PAJERO Gen1........Need your help guys

["DJ"]

I was just wondering........Is a Pajero Gen1 still worth buying? A friend of mine is offering me his Pajero 1991(not sure if its 1991 or 1992) for 295,000........Coz I'm really planning to buy a new car anytime this month......Another friend is offering me his Lancer GL 1998 for 245,000.......So ryt now I really don't know kung ano yung kukunin ko :confused:

I mean the Pajero fits my lifestyle since 55% of the day I'm on the road........But the offer for the Lancer GL is really tempting........


I Need your help guys

A Pajero will age more gracefully than the car as it is not subject to the same changes in fashion. Even today, a GEN I Pajero is still considered fashionable.

The price sounds fair enough if the unit is an original LHD unit. If the condition of the unit is good, then go for it. As they say, once you go truck you never come back. hehehehe.

Parts are cheap and plentiful and are built to a tougher standard than car parts.

Just remember that it is still a truck and it will drive like one.

im quite sure that all of us here will advise you to get the Gen I Pajero (me included).

i agree with Otep..
mas mabilis kasi magdepreciate yung price ng car kaysa sa Pajero..
tawaran mo pa yun..para may extra cash ka pang paayos since second hand yun.

Btw I forgot to mention that yung engine daw nung Pajero is a replacement engine which is the same as the original one......Sabi niya nanggaling daw sa isang dealer ng Mitsubishi yung engine dehins daw surplus yun.......Inayos niya rin daw yung suspension(Ball joint etc.)


Both the Lancer and the Pajero are second hand cars when they bought it........So it means that 3rd owner na ako if ever I decide to buy their cars :D

With the truck you will discover those little joys in life like driving on grass, climbing the center island, running over those yellow parking stoppers in the mall, etc. It will open up a whole new world.

Darating ang panahon na matutuwa ka pang may baha dahil ikaw lang ang tao sa daan. hehehehe.

YES

A friend of mine is offering me his Pajero 1991(not sure if its 1991 or 1992) for 295,000

That's a fairly priced vehicle if it is in top condition, meaning wala ka ng papa-ayos.

........Coz I'm really planning to buy a new car anytime this month......Another friend is offering me his Lancer GL 1998 for 245,000.......

OK din yan!

What do you mean by 55%?
If you're a sales rep, I suggest you get the Lancer, and if you'll use it only to go to/from work, get the Pajero.

My advice: Get what you need and not what you want.

HTH.

[wreckless]

have the engine checked by your friendly mechanic.
pero sa tingin ko..
ok lang naman siguro yung sasakyan since friend mo naman yung nagbebenta sa iyo (d ka naman siguro lolokohin nun)..
basta tawaran mo pa. ;)

d ko pa nagagawa yung daanan yung mga stoppers...
may nakikita kasi akong mga stoppers sa SM Sucat na tanggal na..
mababaw yung pagkakakabit.

Cindy,

I ran over the ones in Robinson's Place Manila.

[pajerokid]

DJ, first of all, i'd like to welcome you to the forums. next, i like your location heheheh :evillaugh

Well BTTT, imagine mo magkatabi yung dalawang oto in question. Yung Pajero ay pajero. How many generations old na yun? three. Eh yung lancer? Every 4 years may bago.

The point i'm trying to make is this..... trucks are hip no matter how old. And the Paj is a truck... a solid one.

[OTEP]

10 years kasi ang model cycle ng Pajero before a new one comes along.

[revoGSX]

"DJ'",
ano yung 55% na nasa road ka palagi? meron ka ba rin bang driver?

kung laging meron baha at malubak ang mga dadaanan mo everyday eh go for pajero...

in terms of vehicle speed, baka naman mas makakabuti sa iyo yung Lancer dahil mabilis ka makakarating sa pupuntahan mo.. (hula ko lang ito)

pero di ko kasi alam engine specs ng Gen1 na pajero at Lancer GL .. guys baka meron kayo alam dito..

in terms of maintenance/replacement of parts, i think mas low maintenance ang pajero compared sa lancer....

["DJ"]

First of all I want to thank you guys for your posts :D

What I meant by "55% in the Road" was my Business and my current situation requires me to travel from one place to another.....Kasi right now I'm still studying in DLSU Main tapos I have a business to manage.......

Usually ganito ang route ko.....

House-School-Office-Makati-House

Pero minsan umaalis ako ng bahay ng gabi just to check on my employees sa road.......


Based from the posts that I have read......You guys have convinced me that the Pajero is worth buying.......Why?

First of all I need a vehicle which has good fuel economy(para tipid sa Gas) and a good suspension(Para di ako pagod kahit kaging nasa road)........Now both the Lancer and the Pajero has these features.......But there is one thing that the 4 door sedan can't do that Pajero can easily do........"GO PLACES" :D Because of its 4WD capabilities and its rough built.....It can go anywhere....It can go places where the Lancer can't......And thats enough reason for me to buy it

Now here's the problem.........

My friend who owns the Lancer is willing to sell me the car by TERMS....P245,000 yung car.....P100,000 downpayment tapos yung P 145,000 will be settled thru PDCs (Post Dated Checks) for 7 months (about 20k per check) No problem with this offer coz I have enough money to pay the DP

While the owner of the Pajero wants CASH kasi bibili siya ng SUV.......That means I have to pay P300,000 on the spot......Kulang yung cash ko para dun......I tried consulting some financing companies pero ang hirap ng demands nila regarding sa collateral.........

If I only have P 300,000 ryt now......Sayang

Anyway any other opinions? ;)

If that is the case and you really need a car.. then go for Lancer.. Di naman namin alam na ganon pala situations mo.. kala ko naman performance wise ang basis mo sa pag pili ng car.. anyway kung di problema ang pera.. I'll go for pajero hehehe bias kasi ako I own Gen1 din kasi like bogart

Actually I was hoping that the owner of the Pajero would agree with my Terms kaso di ko alam na kailangan niya pala kaagad ng cash eh.....and besides di niya pa ako masyado kilala so I can't expect him to trust me ng ganun-ganun lang :D On the other hand pwede akong kumuha sa Family Account namin pero nahihiya ako eh.........Gusto ko kasi personal na money ko ang gamitin :D Well with my current situation.......I guess I'll go for the Lancer.......Kung may cash lang talaga ako :D

"DJ", bakit may quotation marks pa yung handle mo? hehehe joke.

Anyway, you can always look for other Pajero Gen1 units. Hindi lang naman yung nakita mo ang for sale diba?

I send you a PM just check..

[alejandro murietta]

"DJ" do not expect a carlike ride for the pajero gen1, unless you get the gen2. there are also places that your gen1 cannot go to like the ali-mall carpark and those with limited height clearance (beware of the festival mall lower level parking). the stock engine is a 4d56 non-turbo which if maintained well could give you 9-10 km/liter fuel mileage.

[afrasay]

hehe...hindi pala naka-log out si AM

[BongRev]

I saw an ad for a 87 Pajero (Gen1 Bubbletop, orig LHD) with a price of P165k. The owner said it has 200+kms. in mileage and has oil leak in the engine. The engine is 4D56 non-turbo. If I spend for the engine overhauling (how much ba?), will this be a good price for an 18yr. old model Pajero?
