[gwapster]

actually galing ako ng diamond service center sa may q ave yesterday and i paid 3800+ yata. i thought too it was free pero may bayad pala. akala ko service is free sa first 1000km.

I'm quite sure service is free for first 1000km (and 5000km yata?) kahit saang dealer. I think siningil ka dahil nag-oil change. So that 3800+ would probably be the cost of 4 liters of synthetic oil pati oil filter.

Pero mali yata yung pinapalitan nila agad ang oil. Sabi kasi sa akin ng Citimotors, synthetic oil na yung nakalagay dun out of the factory. Pero sa mga Japan units lang, which the Lancer EX is. Tinutulad ata nila sa mga units na galing Thailand, which really need oil change at the first 1000km checkup.

So official na nga na phased out? I was thinking that it was just the dealer's way to talk me into buying the MX... so now that I think about it, buti na lang nakakuha pa ako ng MX last month, upgraded pa with DVD, touchscreen LCD at subwoofer, for 300K less than a GT-A.

Mahal kasi for me ang GT-A, tapos ang GLS na next option down was less than 100K difference, but the MX had much more features. I agree with you that the 938K for the GLS vs. 990K for MX makes the GLS an unattractive option, but if you look at it from another perspective... the price for GLS looks just fair now considering na 1.375M na ngayon ang GT-A, which is now the only step up for automatic (CVT).

They never increased the price of the MX, but that was because there was no GLS to fill that all important 900K-1M price range. Ngayong meron nang GLS, bakit kaya hindi na lang nila increase yung MX price kung kailangan (medyo lugi na daw Mitsu sa MX, sabi ng dealer, ewan kung totoo), instead of phasing it out. Sa price hike to 1.1M, for example, it can well compete still with a Civic 2.0L.

Pero eto lang masasabi ko... pamahal ng pamahal ang Lancer EX... dahil kaya Japan CBU? IMO, this makes the Lancer EX less of an attractive alternative to the competing Civic (price-wise lang ha).

Yes, phased out na talaga.

I was thinking, the main reason they phased MX out is because it is already killing the GT-A model. At Php1.375M, it is Php385,000 more expensive than MX. For what? The 18" rims, sound set-up, spoiler and rain sensor? Sans the rain sensor, I can get all of those extras for <=200,000 (with a waaay better sound set-up)! And yep, this was confirmed by a Citimotors SA during our visit last Saturday. Natatakot pa nung una yung mother ko. Iniisip niya na something is wrong with the MX line kaya inalis.

*Php938,000, 8K lang ang nilamang ng GLS sa Civic (forgot the variant). I never liked the Civic, always a douchebag/ricer car for me. But I may become one of those douchebags driving one if I am really not able to see any sense in buying GLS over Civic.

Mga bossing, good evening.

We own a '97 Lancer GLXi and medyo pagpapahingahin na. We considered Lancer MX pero phased out na daw (very last unit got sold yesterday). Now, iniisip ko yung GLS, pero no ABS and EBD. Matic sana ang kukunin namin pero next na option na is GT-A * Php1.375M.

*Php938K, medyo olats ata sa GLS. Any other opinion?

hmmmmmmm... may i suggest that you search in other dealers- both north and south of Manila... you might be able to catch one of them in their inventory...

Pamahal ang Lancer EX? unfortunately yes... it is even more expensive than the Grandis MPV!!! but in fairness with the Civic 2.0 A-L i heard na sold out na ito.

i think the variant you were refering to was the Civic 1.8S 5A/T- to think that they will have a facelift soon, im sure the price will balloon past the Lancer EX GLS. haiz...

*bumbellebee - i think Chrionic might be able to answer your question po... i will tell him about your query.

I've been to Citimotors Alabang and Makati; an insider info from Diamond motors also told me the same thing. Isa lang ata yung pinagkukunan nilang dalawa - yung sa Cainta Plant.

I am trying my best to pull some strings. I am hoping an officemate/highschool classmate whose dad works as a consultant in Diamond will help me find one (though nung huling tanong, wala na daw talaga).

*oliver, bumbellebee, new-driver,

Wala dapat change oil at 1000km. Change oil will only happen at 5000km. One thing common though is that it seems you all did your 1st 1000km PMS at Diamond Motors. It might be their policy for 1000km oil change. Sayang yung oil na galing Japan Factory. Fully synthetic. When I had oil change at 5000km, kinuha pa nga ng technician to use for another vehicle.

[oliver1013]

Sabi nga ng SA ko, sa susunod na service yun daw ang mura mga 800 petot lang, kasi puro higpit lang...* 5k km...tapos nung pinareset ko yung sa computer para sa warning ng next service, lumabas service at 8000km, sabi ko bat ganun hindi 5k? sabi niya sa japan lang daw yun, dito sa Pinas every 5k daw..so ayun malapit nako mag 5k, pero ang warning ng car is 8k, pano kaya yun pag na servicean sa 5k irereset kaya uli yung warning?

Either policy nila nga yun (para pagkakitaan ang oil), or hindi nila alam na iba ang service schedule ng Lancer EX (Japan) sa previous Lancer (Thailand?). Hehe.

I'm not connected with Citimotors (hehe) pero bakit para atang di alam ng dealer mo ang ginagawa nila. Bakit yung EX ko, naka-set sa 5000 (5000+ actually kasi it's exactly 4000 + exact mileage upon first service). Di lang marunong gumamit nung software yung nag-update ng service warning mo, hehe.

And that's apart from the fact na sinasayang nila ang synthetic oil na galing Japan.... haaaay. Sinasalin lang ata nila sa ibang unit yun na nagpapa-1km service, yung mga galing Thailand... biro lang, hindi naman siguro.

ang alam ko eh ma-discharge yung battery pag hindi nagamit for one week, lalo na yang halos one month nakatambay lang, kaya dapat nga may ihabilin ka mag-start ng engine habang wala ka para hindi ma-discharge yung battery at baka rin masira at mapaaga yung palitan ng battery.

as for the aircon, not sure kung ano mangyayari, baka ma-stuck up yan or something pag hindi ginamit ng ganun katagal.

of course, all units must go to the Cainta Plant first for PDI before its distribution to the dealers...

May i suggest that you expand your search beyond Manila-
South: SFM and Amcar,
North: Carworld and Freeway.

Wala ka mautusan to start the car and warm it up once a week? Pwede siguro tanggalin mo positive batt terminal para di ma-discharge.

Lets just hope the Price and Discount will still be the same and hoping they will add Front Maplamps on the MX and GT...
