pickup * 300k or below

[lnce420]

im planning to buy a pickup at the mentioned amount. i am considering a mazda b2500 and any isuzu pickup with the same price range.

my questions are:
1) what year was the latest release of b2500?
2) what isuzu pickup ang kaprice range ng b2500?
3) please compare the cars by performance, ride and consumption.
4) what should i look out pag bibilhin ko na? i guess common issues ng mga sasakyang ito.

if meron pa po kayong ibang suggestions, feel free po. maraming salamat!

may nabasa akong 94' pathfinder 4x4. P210k neg.

Fuegos have a very high resale value. You cannot get a 2000 and up 4x4 variant with such a budget. You may have to settle with mid-1990s which by now may have incredibly high mileage (.i.e. pick ups are usually work vehicles).

I seems only the Ford Rangers sell at this price range for 2000 and onward models.

Your other bets would either be Eagle/Pathfinder, the first-gen Strada, and yes the Mazda B2500. All of these are late 1990s model.

1) what year was the latest release of b2500?
Back in 1998 before we bought our 4x2 B2500, we were considering if we were going to get the Isuzu Fuego or the B2500. We decided to go with the B2500 since Fuego is more expensive and it didn't have power side mirrors. Others are almost identical. One thing that I don't like is that the B2500 is the last pickup of Mazda before Sunny Motors closed and so after 2 or 3 years I guess, I was forced to find a reputable shop to have for repairs. 11 years after and almost 210k kms in the odometer, 3 overhauls, so far so good. It had 3 overhauls already since the first 2 were done by those small shops who used inferior parts so it didn't last long.

2) what isuzu pickup ang kaprice range ng b2500?
Maybe the Isuzu Fuego but a little bit higher.

3) please compare the cars by performance, ride and consumption.
I could only speak for the B2500. Performance, it is still good but it has already lost its former glory. Mine could only reach 120 kph max and it is already having a hard time catching up with those buses today. But if it's just for normal point a to point b driving, I would say it is still good. Consumption, mine could travel 330 to 360 kilometers with one full tank which is roughly 40 liters.

4) what should i look out pag bibilhin ko na? i guess common issues ng mga sasakyang ito.
With a car this old, you should check the suspension and engine condition. Make sure the glow plugs are still good, it starts with one click, how it runs, those stuffs.

thanks rna800

may i know kailan inoverhaul yung pickup or the most recent it was calibrated?

palagay ko kung mahina na ang combustion ng makina...hina na ang pulling power and sobrang itim na ang usok.

Yung L200 ko l992 pa and 330tkms na, ok pa rin. Minor repairs lang. I just made sure about the schedule of my oil changes.

Dear Guys:

To clear up some specs of the B2500, the fuel tanks capacity (according to the owner's manual) is 56 liters and rna800 is right, the last model available here in the Philippines is the 1998 model.

Comparing it to the Isuzu Fuego, well the Isuzu uses a direct-injection engine vs a turbulence chamber design on the Mazda. Brand-new my neighbor had a Fuego and we would meet regularly at the filling stations here in Fairview.

Comparing consumption he 'said' he got about 1 km / liter more than me. But we never really checked this out thoroughly.

But he sold his na (mausok at maingay na kasi) and got a Nissan 3.2 power pickup. I remember racing him home from SM Fairview - talo sya.. he he he.

To rna800 : Wow, naka-tatlong overhaul ka na? At 210 thousand km? Sabagay, di marunong ang unang gumagawa. Hirap na mag 120 kph? Hmm...

You should have it checked by a really good shop, ask Central Diesel for advice pati.

I can still do 140+ kph and mahina lang sya umusok. Then again have only 130 thousand km on the odometer. I get 10-11 km/ltr in the city.

Dusky Lim

I would really have it checked in those shops you have said in Mazda b2500 thread one of these days. I couldn't believe that it is having a hard time catching up with those buses especially that Safeway bus.hehe I don't know if that bus is fast or my truck is slow.hehe I just noticed that it could go up to 60 very fast and less than 8 seconds to 80 and the same to 100. For it to reach 120, I have to wait for maybe around 10 to 15 seconds from 100 kph.

130k kms is somewhat fresh, I guess and as compared to more than 200k, your truck still has a long way to go. Plus the fact that I wasn't hands on on the maintenance of this truck prior, I didn't know if the service schedules were properly followed which I suppose not.

After my last overhaul and after they put a pump on the fuel filter and replacing the fuel filter with an original Ford fuel filter, the pulling power is better as compared to before. As of now I haven't seen any black smoke puffing out except for sudden downshifts.

Wow, yours is already 330k!?! And I thought mine is already too much. My driver was the one taking care of our cars before and now I am already hands on to make sure that the schedule of maintenance is followed.

thanks rna800

may i know kailan inoverhaul yung pickup or the most recent it was calibrated?

The first, I already forgot since it was my driver who brought it in the car shop. I left for the US for a long time and I don't know what he had done with our cars since when I got back, a lot of things are needed to be fixed and 5 months after, May 2007, my B2500 stalled in NLEX and it got towed to San Simon and since there is a shop there that they said who always repairs cars that get stalled in NLEX, I just said I will just have it fixed there. All of a sudden the car lost its power and good thing it still managed to reach the Total gas station. It took almost 2 weeks then thank God it is ok again. To my surprise it only cost me 40k labor and parts and that made me think to what kinds of parts did they put in it. I was asking for the receipt or at least the parts that they have replaced but they couldn't provide me any. I just said never mind since I saw them dismantled the engine anyways and it didn't cost that much and as long as it could bring me home, to hell with it. 8 months after, January 2008, when I was driving, all of a sudden it shooked and I didn't pay attention to it. I just kept on driving then it shooked wildly again and the engine just died. I called my trusted shop and they towed me to their shop. The mechanic told me that the one who overhauled it didn't really do his job well and the parts that they put are so inferior that for sure it will not last long. The damage again was so severe that they needed to find a crankshaft or camshaft (a very big piece of metal) since they found out that the rings that they put have grinded it and the measurement would become smaller if they have bring it to the machine shop. They still found lots of problems that is connected to my last overhaul and I said just bring it back to how it really should perform. Almost a month after and more than 60k+ worth of damage, up to now the engine is still good and it is already almost a year already and so far my truck hasn't shown any signs that it is gonna need overhauling again.

For calibration, my trusted mechanic told me that he also had it calibrated when they overhauled it which was last January 2008.
