You must have great haggling skills.

Hehehe nagkataon po na kasama sya sa package so no need to haggle

1 year free. Akala ko standard ito sa lahat ng dealers???

Well sa di talaga maiiwasang pangyayari may nakita na akong maliit na ding/dent sa driver side door ko habang wina-wax ko the other day. Mukhang may tumama na pinto ng kotse. Buti na lang di halata at di nag-chip yung paint. Kelangan ko na talaga umiwas mag park sa mga tight spaces. Di na kotse ang sasakyan ko

Anyone installed a 1-DIN with monitor? Just wondering. Kasi parang tatama ang monitor sa aircon knobs. Been thinking of putting one.

What brand and where's the best place to install it? Pakilagay na rin ang price. I'm on a tight budget as usual.

TIA!

Hello Sir, yes usually tumatama yun(1din). There are other models na 1din na mas malaki ang clearance. I believe kenwood meron. Check around in banawe na lang. Last time, I went to maspro in banawe (erod side), meron sila. Look for Sir Benjie? Accredited rin siya ng montero sport club members kaya sanay na siya sa rides natin(similar lang naman kasi rigs natin sa montero).

* Blued888 - additional tip lang sir is to check yung maximum payout ng insurance kasi minsan, mura insurance pero maliit yung maximum payout nila. usually 200k/200k pero pag mura lang 100k/100k lang. I do believe paint protection will be good. Akin less than a month pa lang nagka chip na yung paint. Bad trip talaga bro. So if you can afford the paint protection program I would suggest you get it. Good Luck with your haggling.

Hi Guys, update ko lang ang status ng black strada ko which I bought from Diamond Motors Valle Verde last Jan 9. I posted around 2 weeks ago that my truck experienced engine problems 2 days after I got it. Long story short my strada went in and out of the casa for one week with still no solutions and then finally after that they said they'll keep my Strada there indefinitely until they finally sort out the engine problem. They were nice enough to lend me a Montero sport until I get back my unit. So yesterday I got a call that the quality control plant in Cainta recommended that my unit be replaced cause obviously they're still in the dark about the cause of the engine problems. Also, my contact in the plant said there were 4 other stradas in the plant that are in there for the same reason. It seems like the problematic stradas were part of the same production batch. Thru out the ordeal, the service manager Rey Mercado has been very helpful and polite to me and my wife and made the ordeal bearable. A very decent guy, no BS and straight. To all potential buyers of Mitsu cars, I really suggest you buy your vehicles from Diamond motors Valle Verde. To anyone out there experiencing the same engine problems and is being given the run around by their casas, head to Mitsu Valle and go straight to that guy. By the way, all the problematic stradas in the plant were all color black. Strange?

Sorry Sir wala kasi nagtanong lang din ako. Still using stock. Ipon ipon muna. Meron din sila for 2din HU plus they will replace the front console box para it won't stick out on top. Check out the montero sport threads for more info regarding maspro.
