Comments on Pajero's sold at Subic

[Ungas]

May nakita akong converted unit nasa talyer, isang taon na raw dun. Yung owner gusto ng orig part conversion ang gagawin kaso di nila mabuo kulang kulang kaya tumagal ng isang taon.

as long as magaling ka magmekaniko why not? at marami kang source for parts.

ang echo nga hirap ng parts eh such as windows headlights etc. lalo na siguro iyang surplus vehicles. sa japan alam ko hindo uso ang salitang spareparts

[kiper]

I say, the Suzuki Jimny is hell of a lot better..!!

[kimpOy]

for 380K i'll get a suzuki vitara na lang.

I think depende saiyo yan kung gusto mo ng SUV. Like me I bought a bighorn, trooper kung tawagin dito. Sabi nga ni garyq kailangan responsible ka kung bibili ka ng converted vehicle dahil buhay mo nakasalalay dyan kailang you do a lot of research and study the technical side of the vehicle. Ako bago ako bumili naglibot muna ako at nagsearch at study the vehicle technical specs. Kami nila garyq at mauler nagtutulungan lalo na d same ang unit na bili namin bighorn lotus edition at proud kami sa nabili namin. Kung gusto mong bumili ng converted vehicle pwede kang bumili sa mga dealer na naperfect na nila ang convertion na maraming bumibili ibig sabihin ok don. Kaya lang medyo may kataasan ng kaunti d tulad ng mag auction ka sa subic kaya lang kailangan may alam ka sa makina or u have a trusted mechanic with u. Okay ang vehicle galing sa japan dahil okay ang mga road at driver don may desiplina kaya kahit 10 years na ang car parang 3-5 years old lang. Okay ang pajero yung nga ang 1st choice ko lalo na ang 2800 intercooler. kaya lang d kaya ng budget ko. Maraming mga nagsasabi na pangit ang converted vehicle dapat wag muna silang mag judge kasi d pa nila nasubukan bumili o bumili man d nila pinag aralan maigi. Inuulit ko kung bibili ka ng converted vehicle kailangan handa ka pag aralan mong maigi. Marami na rin akong kilala na 2 years na masaya sa kanilang nabili. Kami nila garyq,mauler kung bighorn bibilhin mo matutulungan ka namin.

People should also take a good look at the fibreglass dashboard of these subic cars, which may look like a perfect copy of the original, but will splinter and give you multiple stab wounds in a crash.

for me, I'd rather buy a 2nd hand VITARA. Gas nga lang.

comment lang po.. kahit naman anong vehicle basta malakas ang impact may splinter din... di lang naman ang splinter galing sa dashboard..

second the motion lang ako sa mga may converted vehicles... 4 times na ako nag long distance travel sa converted 3 door pajero ko not the jr. but the pajero mini. So far so good it's still working fine... and happy pa rin ako sa performance niya.. siguro may mga ups and downs konti kasi i have to change the timing belts and steering just to be sure na safe siya kaya tiyaga and ask for comments from the tsikot peeps talaga ginawa ko.. pero decision mo yan pre... it's your money.. kung gusto mo talaga ng Good to Go Car then i suggest go for the local 2nd hand cars...

Goodluck

Ok naman ang converted basta siguraduhin mo lang na OEM Left Hand Drive Parts ang Ginamit sa pag convert ng steering ng unit na bibilin mo, kailagan may alam ka talaga sa technical ng unit na kukunin mo. Pag naka kuha ka ng coverted na tinipid parang nakasakay ka sa tumatakbong kabaon kaya ingat lang or mag sama ka ng marunong.

My converted unit is TOYOTA Estima Emina VAN 1995 model in immaculate condition.
2TZFZE (Super Charge) 16V DOHC 2.4L Gas. .

Ang lakas ng engine kaya kumakain ng alikabok mga VAN and AUV nakakasabay ko kala nila Diesel ako hehehhe. Been using it for a year now but not a single problem.

Most people are now aware of the basic facts about Japanese used cars:
Japanese cars made for the demanding domestic market are always designed to higher specifications than export versions. While in Japan, they were well looked after and driven at restricted speed on excellent roads.
Nevertheless, due to Japan's unique social & economic constraints, used vehicles depreciate faster here than anywhere else and can be purchased at amazingly low prices.
Superb automobiles, beautiful countryside and
Unfortunately, congested urban areas, overpriced toll roads and tight holiday schedules take most of the fun out of long distance car travel. This explains why most Japanese used vehicles usually come with low mileages.
An efficient rail and subway transportation system is always favored for daily commuting, and the SHINKANSEN (bullet train) takes care of more serious traveling needs.

Consequently, having been through less use & abuse, the overall condition for cars of similar age will be considerably better in Japan than in most other countries.
Tuned-up performance units & SUV of tremendous capabilities are never used to their potential and routinely spend an entire life in extended neighborhood use and proudly displayed on courtyards.

Strictly enforced speed limits of 30km/h in urban areas, 50km/h on highways and 80 to 100km/h on toll roads, help produce a pool of low mileage vehicles. Vandalism & car theft being virtually unknown in Japan, alarm systems are extremely rare on Japanese cars.
On the other hand, features such as power steering, windows & mirrors, climate control, car stereo, ABS and airbags are increasingly considered standard equipment.
