Jaw dropping AUV & SUV prices

Folks!
Here's a taste of what's going to happen after Sept.8(my apologies to PhilStar):

Isuzu Phils set to raise prices

The Philippine Star 08/09/2003

Isuzu Philippines Corp. said yesterday the prices of some of its products will increase upon the implementation of Revenue Regulation 4-2003 on Sept. 9

RR 4-2003 enforces stricter measurements on the 10-seater capacity ruling that exempts a vehicle from paying excise tax. Based on a recent re-measurement of vehicles, the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) said all existing models of AUVs and SUVs failed to pass the 10-seater capacity measurements and are thus subject to excise tax starting Sept. 9.

Affected models are the Isuzu Trooper and the Hi-Lander Crosswind with price increases of approximately 50 percent. For the Trooper, the tax translates to a P781,000 price increase, or a new price tag of P2.35 million from its current price of P1.569 million.

The price of Crosswind entry-level variant XL will increase from P665,000 to P1 million while the top-of-the-line variant XUVi A/T will go up from P934,000 to P1.450 million.

Isuzu Phils. said it will hold off any price increase resulting from foreign currency fluctuations until Sept. 9. The company has also assured the buying public of enough available stocks.

Bite the bullet!:whoa:

buti na lang nakabili na ako ng XUVi ko, a year ago. anyway, tingin ko hihina ang benta ng crosswind.

ibaloi, how about adventure and revo?

baka gawin nalang 2.0li ang xuv to lower cost.

**OTEP** · August 9th, 2003 11:25 AM

...Or gagawing "options" ang mga accessories para hindi masali sa hinayupak na tax.

2.0li?? 2.5li na ang lahat ng crosswind.

well, let's just hope mapasa na rin yung sa Congress version ng excise tax law. Under that law, mga 30-100thou lang daw itataas ng mga sasakyan depende sa value niya. Value based ang basis nya unlike the stupid excise tax measure being proposed by dept. of finance. parang mga walang kukote ang mga taga Dept. of Finance w/ this kind of law.

Wala pa naman sa Revo at Adventure. Kung ganun ang computation ng Isuzu, then baka nga ganyang presyo rin ang aabutin ng 2 yan. Plus or minus siguro. grabe talaga, buti sana kung may dual airbags, side collision curtains, dvd system, ABS, 4x4 siya, may lockers, may winch, may ________.... dagdagan nalang ninyo para umabot ng 1.5 million yang XUVi na yan sa current price niya. It's the silliest price taxing system in the world. Onli in da pilipins.
