New Mitsubishi Montero Sport [ARCHIVED]

[mongaddi]

By the way, just to warn you guys who are considering to buy your monty at citimotors alabang, I was supposed to get my monty 4x2 from them more than a month ago but after finalizing all the needed documents (opted for my bank's auto financing as their's are simply outrageously high) and being promised that my unit is already at the branch ready for release, they suddenly informed me that my unit will be released after 2 days instead of the day we finalize our docs (I guess they opted to give it to some other guy who got inhouse financing). After 2 days they then informed me that my unit will be delayed another day. Then they informed me again that the unit won't be available for another week. Feeling that they are lying to me about the delivery date, I decided to cancel my order and ask for the refund of my deposit (P10k) and opt to get it from another dealer (got it the very next day). Long story short, it's already more than 3 weeks now and after countless calls to their cashier, I still haven't received my refund yet (after following their paper trail, I can't believe that it takes them 3 or more days for each department head to sign their name on a stupid piece of paper , I guess they really have very long names .) So I strongly advice you guys to think twice before dealing with them

Another happy customer from citimotors. :clap1:

SA sa Diamond Q Ave binitin kami.

3rd week of feb, we checked the GLS SE sa Quezon Ave. so noon pa lang excited na kami to get the MS. adamant lang parents ko about the A/T and 3.2 engine. baka daw masyado malakas sa gas and this would be our first A/T car. pero sabi namin matutuhan din yung A/T and mura naman ang diesel so fuel cost namin would more or less be same as the CRV we are planning to replace.

two days after we went to the casa, binalita ng customs processor namin na dumating na daw ang shipment ng 4x2 and it should be for sale soon. the engine would be same as the one on our strada, matic nga lang. hindi naman namin nagagamit 4 wheel drive ng strada so sa montero 4x2 na lang kami. so i found out on the websites na march 12 na nga ang launch.

march 11, 2 SA ang tumawag sa amin, marcos ave & q ave. ung sa marcos ave nirefer lang kami ng isang friend,e nahiya naman kami sa SA ng q.ave dahil sya na nakausap namin, nagmamadali pa sya na ipadala na daw namin reservation fee para makuha agad yung unit na ready for release on Mar 18. so mar 11, nagreserve na kami- grey na 4x2. ilang beses naming pinag-ulit ulit yun. at the same time pinaayos na namin PO sa bank.

Mar.18 came and hindi man lang kami natawagan ng SA so we called him to check if available na units. we were thinking na he wasn't calling dahil hindi pa ready ang unit. kausap nya na daw bank namin sa PO and 2 days daw processing. so dapat march 20 for release na unit di ba?

on friday, we called him again to confirm na ilalabas na namin yung car, sagot ba naman sa amin e ubos na yung grey! red or white na lang daw. e para saan pa na nagpareserve kami? next week daw magkakaroon ng stock ng grey.

medyo duda na kami so we called carworld malolos if meron silang color grey. meron daw. sabi namin we'll give the gay guy in q.ave a week to get a grey MS kasi sayang effort nya.

Monday, we asked him ulit if may unit na. he'll call us daw basta within the week sure na magkakaroon.

tuesday Carworld malolos texted me to confirm if interested pa kami sa grey dahil gusto kunin ng ibang branch yung unit since ubos na sa planta ang grey.

wednesday morning, tinawagan namin si bading, nilalagyan na lang daw accessories sa planta yung grey. pero a few hours later, eto na tumatawag na si bading, nagkaroon daw ng meeting, may defect daw ang Grey na montero kaya hindi na maglalabas ng units ang planta at ipaparecall daw lahat ng Gray units. Yung grey lang daw ang may defect kasi it came from Thailand. White or black na lang daw kunin namin.

hindi talaga kami naniwala! di ba lahat naman ng units came from the same plant in Thailand. e paanong mangyayari na grey lang ang magkakadefect? if may defect ang grey, defective din dapat yung black.

buti na lang hindi pa naipamigay yung Grey unit sa Malolos. ang malamang na nagyari e ibinigay yung grey na reserved for us to someone else na nagpafinance sa diamond. aba, 11% yata difference ng interest rate with our bank. problem na lang namin ngayon ay kung gaano katagal before we can refund the reservation fee. 5thou lang naman yun pero sayang pa rin. pambili na rin yun ng seatcover.

i also learned from the SA in Malolos na available nga yung beige, blue and green na 4x2, for order nga lang sa planta. nice din sana ang beige kaso sobrang set na ang mind namin sa gray and ayaw na naming maghintay. lalabas siguro yung new colors in May dahil "introductory price" lang for March and april ang 4x2.

speculation: come May, lalabas ang new colors (beige/green/blue), sabay ang pagtaas ng price ng 4x2, and complete phase out of the GLS 4x4. possible na magiging 1.4M ang price ng 4x2 pag wala na anf GLS 4x4.

Sorry to hear that kababayan... Kamusta fuel consumption and performance ng 4x2 na Monty? Planning to get one also from CW Malolos para di na lumayo. Suki din naman yung L300 namin dati dun nung nabubuhay pa.

so after all these posts, for those of us considering the MS, can i have an informal survey of which dealerships i should consider to get it from (metro manila lang please). I have always been a toyota person (to my utter disappointment) so i dont want to fall into the same trap of a crappy dealer.

maraming salamat!

Ows talaga mapphase out na yung 4x4 GLS??? Kung ganun sana yung 4x2 GLS magkaron ng beige interior with leather seats option just like the GLS SE and yung multidisplay sa dashboard.

I'm planning to install a turbo timer in my monty but can't decide whether to have it installed at Auto Circuit (Apexi brand P5,800) or at Diamond motors in Valle Verde (quoted me Evolution brand P8,500 or HKS P12,000). I find the casa's price too expensive but I'm afraid that I'll be voiding my warranty (at least for electricals) if I opt to have it installed at Auto Circuit. Is anyone here using the Evolution turbo timer? Can you set the alarm and leave it without it unlocking when the engine goes off like the Apexi one? Please help :help!:

Question mga peeps, I plan to install the audio controls on the steering wheel of my SE kasi.

Pero I also want to change the sound system (HU + speakers) in the future.

Should I change the sound system muna or ok lang mauna yung audio controls since those should interact with any device?

And on a related note, may audio controls ba na mapupurchase outside of the CASA?

Sir, you can install the steering audio control in advance and set it up with our stock JVC HU. if you also plan to add an amplifier i suggest to have it at the same time as the HU para isang bukasan na lang ng center console. separates (speaker)? okay lang kahit di kasabay but much better kung sabay na para exciting

yes the steering audio control is available at winterpine. costs 5K the last time sir BoyBakal inquired.
