Magkano kaya, mas mura sa Lc200 ?
Bibili ka ba kung gas-powered yan? I bet not.
Yung current Patrol Royale is a bargain at 3.8M for the luxury it offers. I have driven the USDM Armada which is similar as our local Patrol Royale and it is one comfortable big truck. The engine offers decent power and pull. However, not everybody here in RP wants to own a vehicle with a 5.6L V8 petrol NA engine.
Nice facelift and no doubt it has the capability. That video is all the proof we need. But needs a diesel to fly over here. Petrol is practically free in those desert countries......

1,000,000 pesoses difference? The patrol royale uses only regular unleaded. Kahit na P60/liter (prevailing price is 54.60?) 1M/60 = 16,666 liters. If the mileage is 5km/l and you drive 20,000 km per year that means you get free gas for the first 4 years compared to the brand new price of an LC. Now since the lc is also gurgling diesel, at P50 per liter (prevailing is 44?) and assuming 7km/l (weeeh!), to travel 80,000 km the lc will be using P570k worth of diesel. So totalling both acquisition cost and operating cost it might take 7-8 years before the lc catches up with the patrol. Sa mainteannce cost and depreciation na lang magkakatalo talaga.

wala value yan gasoline mammoth SUV 10 years from now fafa yebs.
Nowadays, Diesel adds to the classic factor of a popular SUV. since the Patrol is popular, but not as popular as the LC, still the Patrol will have more value than the current PPVs we have today incl. the Fortuner, 10 years from now. the LC anchors the prestige of the Patrol.
10 years from now, all they will see from a gasoline V8 Patrol is just an Expedition or Mazda Cx9 or Mercedes G-Class V8 Gas.
im aiming for a LC or a Supercar in 5-8 years time depende syempre kung mag-succeed ako sa next venture ko , this could be a cheaper option only if it's diesel. if not wag na, I don't even need the size of these mammoth Suvs to begin with .
syempre dapat ang inspiration mo, hinde naman basura later on.
Not you. Not me. Not 99.99% of the people on this board. Not 99.99% of car buyers. But hey you still see new v8 expeditions, new v8 f150 and f250, new v6 explorers, new v8 suburbans and yes i've seen at least 3 new patrol royales. There are also new gasoline LC200s for sale by independent dealers. Di na sana sila nagbenta kung walang bumibili.
Our assumption is, "If you can afford it." So if you can, what factors will you consider the patrol over the others. Gas consumption lang ba. Resale lang ba, as if you will care about resale value "if you can afford it". Di ba more of the features you will not find in a 4.8M land cruiser?
Some people would not dare touch diesels. Madumi, maingay mahirap i-maintain.
Those people have budgets. Ü
And here comes us, plucking these v8's at the price of a vios 10 yrs later when Vios' costs 1.5M bare.

Eto gray color , maybe from Dubai? I dont understand langugage
But i like gray talaga
Last Friday, my wife and I had dinner at Las Flores BGC. The place was packed so we were seated outside. Richard Gomez and Lucy Torres was on the other table behind us. Later, they were picked up by a relatively new white Patrol Royale.
If you have the money to buy these behemoths, you surely have the money to fuel and maintain them. There is no point talking to them about the merits of fuel efficiency of diesel over gas when it does not matter to them.

I remember dati I was listening to the conversation ng kasama ko sa basketball, yung isa told the other one na magpakarga na ng full talk kasi meron daw 1+pesos increase sa diesel, and then the other one said, kaya ko nga bumile ng Toyota Prado so kaya ko din yung increase sa diesel hehehe.

Tapos member pa pala sa landers e di 6 petot per liter ang discount sa gas at 4 petot per liter discount sa diesel. Bakit nga naman nya intindihin yung increase hehehe!
I'm cool with big gasoline V8 SUVs if I buy the car already depreciated
Wag lang buy it brand new and get double whammied, paying for the gas while also losing money to depreciation. Unless it's a 'drive it to dust' type of car na hindi talaga ibebenta.
Gasoline cars are severely handicapped, even if v6 or v8, if carrying big bodied cars.
Most haulers, buses, trucks, light trucks use diesel. I dont see trucks sporting gasoline engines.
So if that is how powerful diesel is, then fitting it on a big bodied SUV is a bonus in terms of load handling, and yet there is one more benefit of diesel, if caught in that new SLeX skyway extension traffic jam, diesel would stay at 8km/liter, while gasoline with 7km/liter city rating would drop to 4-5 km/liter kagad.
Diesel is king.
Yeah that’s them but not me nor you. Were talking about ordinary people here. The smartest move, the strategic move. so that we can maximize our resources holistically.
Hauling - check
Resale value - check
Fuel efficiency - check
Cheaper cost per liter - check
Classic factor - from what I can see only all old land cruisers and Lr defenders with diesel engines are sought after around the world - check hihi
