Got my plates after 3 weeks.
Mga sir tanong ko lang kung ano ba dapat important na check sa montero pag pa release na ng dealer. Release na kc monty ko na gls v nxt wk. Baka may gusto lang mag share kung ano dapat tingnan kong mabuti. Tnx.
Tanong ko lang kung ano ok na brand para sa headrest monitor at kung san maganda magpa install?
guys, did some back reading. it looks like black smoke and idling problems due to fuel is pretty common. are there owners out there using big 3 fuels with no problems? how long have been topping up with non euro4 fuel?
for glx non vgt owners, meron na ba sa inyo nakapag lagay / nakabile ng spare tire cover? saan po and how much?
pumunta kasi ako dun sa isang car accessories sa may araneta ave, yung suggested dito..meron sila fiber glass medyo nakakadismaya lang yung experience ko...3.5k puro gasgas na, medyo bastos pa at hindi accomodating yung mga boy dun. sabi ko:
" boss ala bang medyo walang gasgas, yung makinis kinis naman ng konti"
sagot nya "kaya nga ako natagalan kumuha kasi yan lang ang matino"
sa loob loob ko "puro gas gas itong binibigay mo sakin, yan na ang matino? sana mabenta nyo pa yung ibang stock nyo"
tanong ko "3500 ito boss? mapapaganda pa ba natin?"
sagot nya "sir ganyan na talaga yan, flat black kasi, kung gusto nyong makintab eh di bumili kayo ng shiney black"
sagot ko " ah ganun ba, sige tabi mo na lang ulit" tapos umalis na ko.
yung itsura ng binebenta nya, pang isang libo ang presyo.
anyway, no offense to the store owner, just teach your boys some manners, barumbado magsalita yung tao nyo eh, daig pa kayong may ari. pag nabastusan ang mga customers nyo, lalayasan na lang kayo. sayang benta.
Ano magandang reason pag hinuli ka ng pulis kc la pang plate no? Mukhang matagal yata ma release mga plates eh. Baka lang may gusto mag advise. Tnx.
Paki sabi hindi ntin kasalanan,at kasalanan ng LTO kasi wala silang mai supply kasi nagka problem sa contructor nila at mukhang matatagalan.Then hirit nalng kayo sa SA nyo para don sa papers na pinapakita sa sisitang pulis.
reposting an earlier reply. hope this helps new owners.
your cr/or and plates will take a while(approx 3-4 weeks or longer) before it gets delivered to you. your car will be insured but i think the insurance papers will be delivered along with the or/cr/plate. the conduction sticker entitles you to drive your brand new car for 7 days without the or/cr after which you may be apprehended for violating the no plate no travel policy. however, in a memo from usec torres of the lto to its enforcers, apprehensions for violators of this no plate no travel policy are SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE (dated April 30, 2012), which means YOU ARE NOT TO BE APPREHENDED BUT MAY STILL BE FLAGGED DOWN to verify your vehicle invoice. This suspension has been published in the newspapers already in recognition of their failure to produce enough plates for new vehicles.
Ask your agent to give you a copy of this LTO memo (they have photocopies) for presentation to an "enterprising enforcer". Most enforcers let you pass unless you have violated something else. Try to be home early (daytime) to avoid the unpredictability of checkpoints. A brand new suv without plates is "very attractive" especially in this age of pseudo-checkpoints cum carjack points. Be careful always but "more especially" while still without plates.
If this will be your first time driving a Montero, tell your agent beforehand and arrange a short test drive with a car jock/pre-delivery tech from the dealer so he can explain the car's bells and whistles firsthand. Ask him everything and everything from the alarm, spare tire, diesel fuel, turbo timer, pms, etc (issues you see here). Good luck and congratulations on your new ride!
For those owners who doesn't have the plates yet and doesn't have a copy of the LTO memo re suspension of the No PLates no Travel Policy, you may secure a copy (photocopied only but may suffice) by sending me a PM. Drive safely guys (",).
