Mitsubishi Fuzion GLS 2008 still a good buy?

**JhunTrooper** · July 21st, 2013 08:59 PM

Hi tsikoters, just seeking for a good advice, I am looking now for my alternative family car (a second hand MPV) and leaning to Mitsubishi Fuzion GLS 2008, it has already a 122000 km tag, is this still a good buy for 480,000?, I saw so many in the net with low mileage like 60-90thkm with the same year model, but I don’t know if it is true or tampered, I knew the car by the way and really looks new in its model, thanks.

yes sir, I also thinking of that, pero yung mas lower ang mileage mas mataas ang price, say 80 to 100th difference,

too much mileage, and too expensive for the mileage, if you ask me.. at 5 years old, a decent odometer reading would be 50K's...
and it's not very fuel efficient..
for that money, you can get a good, basic diesel auv ... innova, adventure. hilander/crosswind. even revo!
btw, what's you current ride?

nasa 10k/ year dapat ang acceptable mileage ng sasakyan, any excess sa 10k, medyo gamit masyado yan.

sa 480k, you can get an innova J diesel.

sir.. if i were you.. I will never buy that car because of the following reasons..

1. Mileage is too high.. kumbaga laspag na.. madali lang dayain ang looks ng sasakyan.. detailing lang mukhang bago na yan.. mileage alone will tell you kung gaano ka gamit ang sasakyan plus kung paano gamitin..
2. Too expensive for the mileage
3. Fuel consupmtion is high
4. Maintenance wise.. butas bulsa mo dyan..
5. There are so many second hand cars with good quality that you can get with that money.. shop around ka lang at may makikita ka nyan..

Thank you sa mga nag reply, I will take your good advices, I need to do more research,,,

to siopaonatoasted thaks for the info.

to dr. d my current ride is local isuzu trooper 2002 the one reason I lean to Fuzion because of the gas engine, ayaw ko na muna sa crdi engine mataas ang maintenance cost ( i.e. change oil),

to homhomnova, mataas ba maintenace ng Fuzion?, even with gas engine?

kung kilala mo may-ari at alam mo kung paano siya mag-maintain ng sasakyan, hindi masyado concern ang mileage.

lagi naman natin nababasa dito "nasa maintainance yan". may bagong sasakyan na mausok agad. may luma naman na ayos na ayos pa.

for example. yung Isuzu Fuego ni utol, 5 years ginamit, 140km tinakbo dahil sa nature ng trabaho niya. regular ang maintenance kasi bayad ng kumpanya. kahit makapal pa ng gulong palit agad. ang shocks ok pa pero pinapalitan agad. change fluids regular din. binili ng pinsan namin. hanggang ngayon nakikita ko. mas mausok pa yung ibang crosswind na nakikita ko. tinanong ko din yung may ari kung musta na yung sasakyan. ok pa naman daw. sa kanila na nalaspag.

This is true, I have a company car here in middle east, I'm using it for less than 5 years now from brand new, odometer more than 280th km na, every month change oil kasi more than 5th marking lagi, and still the car is running good long in distance travel always,,, but this is middle east,,, perhaps normal kasi dito ang high mileage, actually kapag 100th plus palang mileage dito fresh pa yun, meron nga ako nakita a personal car 2011 honda already marking 170thkm sa odo,, my friend has also a company car a mitsu outlander almost the same mileage with mine,, and I think outlander this is the same engine with fuzion 4G64 2.4liter not the V6... that's why I thought the fuzion still a good buy,,, anyway iba naman kasi sa pinas, and like what I said I do need more research.

in addition po pala, my car is in extreme used madalas naka idle sa site, ginagawa ko syang site office sa construction site he he he, thanks again.

sir.. kaya ko nasabi na butas ang bulsa mo sa maintenance is because sa taas ng mileage ng sasakyan kahit well maintained pa yan.. mag uumpisa ng mag fail ang mga parts nyan lalo na yung mechanical parts due to wear and tear.. tapos sa condition ng kalsada natin dito sa pinas malamang yung mga pang ilalim nyan palitin na rin.. afaik.. mahal ang parts ng Fuzion..
