What do i need to know, pangtransport lang ng mga tao. Issues to look for and saan kaya ako makakabili? TIA.

One issue is that they're quite expensive for what you get...

Check for kalampag, a rough running engine and pay particular attention to body integrity... check for rust in the sills and around the wheel wells, as these tend to develop rust easily. With the separate rear compartment, it's not quite the gas chamber that the full-bodied van version can be (it's really dangerous when the rear fender rusts through and lets noxious fumes into the cabin), but it's a good idea to check, anyway.

Oh, and ask for a maintenance history, too. Otherwise, it's a decent (but not great) people hauler.

Agree. Kalawangin nga yung rear cab niya (yung gawang Almazora).

I'm thinking of getting an L300 FB van for service at office. The brand new dual aircon is about 600 000? IS this still value for me? It's not easy to find a second hand L300 with low mileage.

the reason na madaling kalawangin ang L300 is that yung body nya is made from black iron ang pros ng black iron is derecho sya ikabit hindi lukutin di gaya ng G.I. sheet na alon alon next is cheaper and cons naman nya is madaling kalawangin and medyo mabigat
