Same model as yours, tonka look with hood scoop and 4M40 engine. At first duda ako sa engine nya baka pinalitan. But the seller took the original invoice and proved it was an original from Citimotors Makati. :D

Better not rush things, scope the market and have an actual check with every unit you want to check out on classified ads. Don't barter on the phone without seeing the actual unit first. Test drive it, test all the amenities it has, gauges and switches. Pump the accelerator upto 2000rpm and check for carbon deposits especially oil droplets. Then knock on every panel you suspect of being abused and hit occasionally. Door jambs should be aligned and easily closed with light force. Inspect the maintenance booklet for it's tune-ups and change oils. So far that's what I could think of right now. And before I forget, surplus units don't have sliding windows at the back (they are fixed windows). :D

aside from the fenders, ano pa diff. ng 97 sa 98 paj?

happy_gilmore:

crawdaddy:

pre, sa tao. second hand. 14 thou kms. sa kapatid ng syota nya. mura na nga yun eh.

get the RAV4... 3 months old pa lang yun so you won't have to worry about anything (except maybe collision damage, which can be easily inspected for). a real bargain at just 985K... i assume you find the RAV4 suitable for your needs by the mere fact that you're considering it. i say go for it.

**staind** · February 5th, 2003 12:46 PM

again, thanks for all the tips and suggestions!!! 8)

the RAV4 can fit my family but lacks storage space. what I like about it is its car-like characteristics, quiet cabin, ala-celica interior and most especially...

its price!

i'm one who can't resist a bargain. BUT, i need to inspect it first.

now the 98 PAJ really fits us with space to spare! really a toss-up between the 2.

but, as Ungas said, i won't rush into things...

unless i fall in love with one of them and decide right then and there! :twisted: am also a compusive buyer! :twisted: :D

anyway, on with the hunt...

**kimpOy** · February 5th, 2003 12:53 PM

a car like ride with space and spare....

then get a minivan he..he
lalo yatang napagulo ang isipan ni staind he..he

**staind** · February 5th, 2003 01:16 PM

:lol: * kimpOy!!! ginugulo mo ko!

a mini-van was actually my first choice! pero wala sa pinas yung Toyota Sienna or Honda Odyssey(?). Or even the Ford Windstar. don't like the Serena. Like the Carnival/Sedona but it's a Kia. no offense to Kia owners but that's my opinion/prerogative. Like the Venture but for the availability of parts, etc.

so........ SUV na lang ako. :twisted: :D taas pa ng ground clearance (in case of flood).
