ewan ko kung yan yung inooffer dito sa subic. siguro selected units only?

I plan also to get before but I doubt the spare parts availability locally. So I emailed Mitsubishi and they confirmed that they are not supporting RVR and Chariots MX, though they look like Spacewagon. Pero they can order daw spare parts sa Japan in case papagawa sa kanila.

If u ask me, di ako bibili any model na galing subic na converted, especially RVR, Estima, Delica etc. etc. You know why? Kasi banggain ka o ikaw man ang bumangga, im sure tengga agad car mo waiting for replacement parts at x2, x3 pa siguro presyo kung order from japan, swerte mo kung may makikita ka agad dito. And one thing more CUT & WELD lang mga yan what if kung hatawan na sa takbuhan nawalan ka ng GIYA dahil naputol ang welding, swerte mo kung BALDADO ka lang, eh kung RVR mo maging RIP, yare. Buy ka na lang ng local dami naman low mileage dyan, di pa sakit ng ulo.

Depende sa pag kaka convert make sure na Original left hand drive steering parts kailangan ipataas mo yan unit na kukunin mo.

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.
