September 8th, 2003 01:59 PM #1Question lang sa mga diesel guru's. Maybe you could help us (wife and I) decide. We are considering getting the Limited Edition ( 1.57 + around 50K insurance). Or wait a few months for the Gen III which they saw will cost around 2.4- 2.6. We don't actually have that much money, we will just get a loan. My concern is, is it still advisable to buy the L.E. pajero considering that it is quite old. (When did the GenII come out?) In a few months when the GenIII comes out luma agad ang Pajero mo lugi agad ang investment mo. Appreciate your input on our predicament.
Thanks,
Paul

kung kakayanin ng budget and gusto mong magtagal ang vehicle at ok pa ang resale value by the time you will dispose it, get the gen3. since the gen2.5 is not 4x4, hindi na gaanong kataasan ang resale value nyan after the release of gen3.

September 8th, 2003 05:15 PM #3hmmm interesting, kasi i buy cars within my budget only,
mahirap kasi sa loan, lalo na ngayon mahirap din ang buhay dapat liquidated ka.
also, cars in general are not investment, the minute you step out of the car lot 20% agad ang depreciation.
also, pajeros dont lack luster naman kahit nga ngayon ok pa rin ang gen 1 kasi status symbol na sa atin ang pajero.
now if you plan take the LE pajero on paved roads only, why not, lalo na ngayon loaded sa gizmos yan, pero if you like the sight of mud, think again.

Wait na lang for the GEN III to come out as mauler has said. For sure may matitirang mga 'latak' sa planta which they will sell at fire-sale prices. Ganun strategy namin sa pagbili ng sasakyan dito sa bahay, eh. Hehehe. Hindi ka pa gaano lugi kasi mura lang. Wala naman kaming pakialam kung latest o hindi. Basta useful.
GEN II came out in 1991, I think (tonka). Yung blister fender 1998 ba? Hindi ko sure. Pero yung basic vehicle, 1991 lumabas iyan.
Yun nga lang hindi siya 4X4. Kaya nakakalungkot. I would rather forego all the gimmicks and gadgets in favor of a second shift lever.

If you can afford the Gen 3 Pajero then by all means it's the best option. If not then the current gen 2.5 would still be ok.

Paul1,
If you can afford it, go for it!
I think out of the question na yung 4X2 na Gen2. True, it still has the looks but so does the Gen3. Besides, wouldnt you want a 185hp diesel engine in a modern, lighter body? I would. Kung road car lang and walang offroading involved, oks na oks ito. If rumours are to be believed, then the 2M pricetag will also give you two more driven wheels... factors which i think make up for the price diff. And dont be afraid of the IRS, its based on the Pajero Evolution. Im sure no one is crazy (or rich) enough to bring one to the trails anyway.
But also, heed the guy's suggestions on getting the Gen2.5 After the gen3 has arrived. Pero with the price diff between the two models, i doubt kung bababa pa yung price ng Gen2. After all a pajero is a pajero. Nakatatak na sa utak ng pinoy yan! Which translates to good resale value.

September 9th, 2003 02:53 PM #8Thanks for the inputs. Ang sabi ng dealer yung gen 3 daw mga October pa and it will come out in two variants. A 3.2L V6 gas for 2.4M and a 3.0L 4 cyl for 2.6M. Pero if we want to get the Gen 2 LE dapat with in this week kasi tataas ang price ng 205K (from 1.57M). Hirap mag-decide. Thanks again!

Temporary lang ang price hike niyan. After the GEN III is released, it will fall like a rock from the sky. hehehe.
Hmmm...3.0L 4cyl? Wala atang ganung makina ang Mitsubishi para sa Pajero ha. Ewan ko lang. hehehe.
