Welcome to all owners of Toyota Fortuner [continued]

[dr. d]

Hello fellow owners,

I need your opinion regarding the sale of our 2012 Toyota Fortuner. Due to an acquisition of a newer vehicle, kailangan ng ibenta kasi sayang naman kung mag-depreciate lang sa amin, eh hindi naman kailangan ng extra na sasakyan. Brand new nabili sa Toyota Manila Bay on February 16, 2012.

Maraming add-on options kaming pinalagay nung bilin. Mostly na-excite pero sa totoo lang hindi naman kailangan yun iba talaga. Heheh.

Pinost ko sya ng $1,078,000 kasi nakalagay sa insurance valuation appraisal is that price. So I'm assuming fair yun price na yon. Nakikita ko din sa ibang sellers na dealer hanggang $1,150,000 ang price nila.

Madaming tumawad ng 950k to 980k. Pero puro buy and sell naman na nagpapanggap na family or direct buyer. Simpleng google lang sa number nila eh nalalaman ko na. Kaya nakakairita lang na may panggap pang ginagawa.

Question to other owners: Sa tingin nyo fair yun price ko? Kasi nakita ko na din pricing ng brand new units. Nagmura din naman talaga ang Toyota Fortuner.

if that's the price you see in the for sale ads, then that's the ballpark asking price. but be aware that the quality of the units vary.. from practically new, to drowned units, to veterans or survivors of torture, with only a nice cheap re-painting.. you should go around and inspect the competition..
but we all know that there is a difference between the asking price and the actual going price. and that will be up to you to decide. but this going price, never gets into the ads. it's a sort of secret between the seller and the buyer. so just how desperate are you to get rid of it?
and if you do not want bayan sellers to inquire (na-inis ka na rin, ha? welcome to the club.), maybe you should have added in your ad, "direct buyers only. no bayan sellers pls". instead, you implicitly welcomed them..
and with an ad like yours, it's very attractive.. even to me.. and i'm not even looking for one.. but with the cost of fuel and the rise of the minicar and its attractive pricing, a number of new car owners, including those who in the past may have been interested in your land yacht, are now shifting their sights on the smaller, cheaper cars..

my suggestion, is just sit tight. may kakatok din sa pinto na hindi bayan seller..

errr. humor me po.. is it a 3.0 or a 2.5 engine?

Thanks for the quick reply. Hindi naman po rush sale pero ayaw na po namin abutan ng registration in January. 1 kasi ending plate. Extra Gastos lang. Tapos March Renewal ulit ng insurance. We want to avoid paying both.

It's not that I mind. I welcome them pero as usual low baller. Then they pretend they are direct buyers with low budget. Gagawin ka pang tanga.

You're right. We're patient naman. Pero sa totoo lang this car is super tipid to operate. Mas mahal pa mag Civic everyday eh. Ang tipid sa Fuel.

2.5 diesel sya. 4x2.

parating na pasko.. malamang, may kakatok dyan na may isang bayong ng cash, naghahanap ng pamasko sa sarili at pamilya.... cheers!

*efive99: Nice unit you got there, sir.

The pricing? It is... Ok but I think it will be challenging to sell. What variant is it? Sa mga 2.5 AT diesel Fort ngayon, you could get a brand new G 4x2 2.5 AT for 1.360M and 4x2 V 2.5 AT for 1.490M.

So if I will buy a 2nd hand for more than 1M, mapapa isip ako na mag ipon nalang and go for brand new either cash or installment. Imagine if I will go for the 4x2 G, 282k nalang ang idadagdag ko, brand new pa. Lalo ngayon, pagandahan ng deals ang mga dealerships.

Sadly the add ons don't really add much to the value of the car coz at the end of the day, the buyer wants the car and not the stuff that you put into it. Kaya ung mga kung ano ano ang ikinakabit sa vehicle nila then they will price it high pag binenta, halos hindi pa nila nabawi ung ginastos nila once na mabenta.

Just feel the market let's say up to January next yr. Like what dr. d said, mapera ang mga tao pag holiday season. Pag wala padin kumakagat, that means mataas ang ganyang price for that vehicle then that's the time that you might consider adjusting your selling price.

Thank you. It's hard to let go. May konting separation anxiety.

It's definitely a challenge selling a vehicle at this price point. It's the price of a brand new car.

This one I have is the 4x2 2.5 G diesel. 2012 model.

Does the new 4x2 2.5 G automatic transmission still have leather seats? Meron bang features na nabawas na available na lang sa 4x2 2.5 V?

[dr. d]

you must forget separation anxiety or sentimental value. they get stronger with time, and yet do not add a centavo to the price.
and they're definitely not in the buyer's vocabulary.
be patient.. because the mountain goes to he who waits..

the new gen fort might come out sometime later next year so the price might be even lower by that time. so it will depend on how soon you want to sell vs. the price you can realistically get.

Ask ko lang po, we have 2010 Toyota Fortuner, ngayon lang po ako nagkakameron ng kaalaman sa mga sasakyan eh, tulad ng sa change oil at yung tamang oil na gagamitin (thanks sa tsikot.com).

Ano po yung pwedeng impact pag hindi agad napalitan yung oil?
Tiningnan ko po kasi yung service passport ng Fort namin at nung nakita ko, nagulat ako na mula nung 1k PMS eh sa 15k PMS na pala dinala ng father ko sa casa. Walang change ng oil filter between 5k kms. Nung tinanong ko father ko sabi nya eh good for 15k daw yung oil as per casa.

Wala naman po ako napapansin na sira sa Fort namin ngayon pero in the long run, mag kakaepekto po ba yung hindi agad pagpalit ng oil?

Nung 15k PMS nasa breakdown na nagperform sila ng flushing. Ibig po ba sabihin nito eh malinis na yung engine especially sa pwedeng sludge na naform dahil sa hindi agad pagpalit ng oil?

19,+++ km pa lang po natatakbo. At ngayon po na mejo may alam na ko sa pagpalit ng oil eh plan ko gamitin delo 400 every 5k kms PMS. TIA

As long as I get a fair deal, I don't mind separating. 😊
