it depends on what you're seeking.

there are those old school style OTJ and there are new low rider style OTJs.

it can go as low as 20-30k and as high as a second hand 90's car, 100k beyond.

you can even have them custom built by your favorite talyer. or those from cavite that are ready built.

afaik, all OTJ use surplus/second hand/used engines so be careful on your hunting. they may look good, but wont run good.

Toyota 3K engine was the most practical engine known way back, according to my late grand father.

now, i dont have an idea, we did lost our last OTJ a year ago.

goodluck sa hunting niyo sir.

May mga brand ba ng owner type jeep tulad ng TOYOTA? :P

wala sir, pero gamit ng mga OTJ ay mga lumang engine ng toyota, mitsu and other brands.

We used to have this, have it changed 3 times the engine. It was a Willy's jeep, first engine was Isuzu C221, have it changed to a Toyota 4K, then lastly to an Isuzu C240.

I'm not so familiar nowadays, but way back the more popular engine for owner type jeeps are Toyota 4k or 5R, better look out for a Toyota engine powered jeep, easier on the parts.

Get a boxtype or a pride instead. Kahit na ex-taxi pa yan, it's still better than a jeep.

Bakit owner type (awner?) jeep pa kukunin mo? They're hardly engineered for safety, lalo na ngayong andaming damuho sa daan, kahit anong ingat mo eh mangyayari ang aksidente, at kung hindi ka handa eh siguradong disgrasya.

Years ago, nabangga yung owner type jeep na sinasakyan ng uncle ko sa SLEX. All the occupants were lucky to just be hospitalized, while the jeep was a total wreck.

They're right. Better that you start with a second hand car na lang.

CONS:
1. jeeps are prone to kalampag after a few years. pangit naman parepair and weld kasi stainless.
2. a brand new jeep costs just about the same or even more than a good 2nd hand.
3. standard leaf springs suspensions, alignment adjustment problems.
4. inaccurate fuel gauge readings.
5. non-aircon, hirap pag tag-ulan attaching plastics side covers.
6. unstable at high speeds and not engineered for safety in case of accidents.

We had jeep as the first vehicle and the woes were endless.

ganun din kami..first vehicle namin ay owner type jeep..willy's pa..
tapos sumunod stainless naman kumpleto with sound system ang ganda pa ng set up..
maganda rin kasi presko..
mahirap lang pag summer, tagaktak pawis mo, lamon mo pa alikabok pati usok ng kalsada..
pag tag ulan mababasa ka rin..pag naglagay ka ng trapal ay init naman sa loob..
pamporma dito sa cavite ok lang, pangharabas..
mahirap iwan sa mga malls o sa labas, kelangan may bantay delikadong mawalan ng gamit sa loob..

sa bandang imus madami pa ring nagbebenta..galvanized, semi stainless at stainless..pwede ring pa assemble..pero nga di ka sigurado sa quality ng gawa nila at puro surplus ang parts..

it's your choice, pwede ngang 2nd hand car na lang..toyota 94 and below ok pa rin..di pa problema kung mainit o umulan basta ayos ang aircon..

sa pro's naman tayo

1. mas mura ang maintenance nga OTJ, lbabas na mas mura in the long run dahil sa availability ng parts <dahil kahit anong compatible pd>
2. check ako jan sa price range
3. depende sa assembler,,, my dad has 1 gawang rizal and no issues sa suspension and allignment
4. accurate din ang fuel gauge and other instrumentation.
5. hindi lahat ng owner non aircon...
6. hindi lahat unstable at high speeds... my dad can run 120 sa nlex kaya pang ibirit walang tunog and issues...

eto ay dahil sya ang unang owner...

un sakin ang laki din inubos bago mapatino ang takbo... 55k nakuha so far malakilaki na naubos... but all worth it... trully pinoy

My brother have one before, binenta na lang ng mura para maalis sakit ng ulo. Bakit masakit sa ulo? Just consider these:

1. Mahirap pag umuulan. Trapal ikakabit pumapasok pa rin ang ulan, dahil may trapal hindi na magamit ang side mirror kaya malapit sa disgrasya.
2. Hindi pwede iiwan basta na lang sa side street parking. Dapat may bantay kaya sobrang hassle.
3. Pinaka importante ay safety features.. almost nil. I witness twice paano natanggal/nabali ang tubo na kinakabitan ng front wheels after ma shoot sa butas ang unahang gulong.

Iilan lang ito sa mahabang ayaw ko sa Owner Type Jeep.

Some people would still prefer to get a brand-new vehicle, no matter how old is its concept or how poor is its trim - an example is the Fiat Uno still offered brand-new in Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Venezuela and other South-American countries.

As far as 2nd-hand goes, I would prefer to get a Mitsubishi L300 with aircon than an owner-type jeepney.

As far as owner-type jeep goes, I would only want one if it was a Wrangler

ako sa 2nd hand car na lng, may 120k ka may mga toyota ka na mabibili, yung big body. kapitahay namin dati magpapagawa otj yung singil sa kanya 140k, then inoffer ko mazda 323 namin, 130k lang, una ayaw nya kasi sabi eh 95 model pa yung mazda namin. pero sang beses nakita ko sya sa kalsada nagbabantay ng jeep,yun pinasakay ko, and napansin nya na alaga yung mazda, and lahat sa loob gumagana pa, from speedo and tachometers hanggang sa fuel gauge, and ok yung sounds kasi naka 2 jbl subs sa likod saka 2 power amps, hehe. ayun binili nya after a week. ngayon kagi nya binibida sa mga barkadang naka otj. kasi nga naman naka aircon ka wala ka hassle sa init at ulan, sa parking pede mo rin iwan, unlike sa otj na babantayan mo dapat. pero kanya kanya rin na taste yan mga tol, if ano ang gusto yung ang sundin at saka ang pasok sa budget
