MB100, Ssangyong/Daewoo Istana [ARCHIVED]

CMC ba ang tawag sa mga local Mb100

Yep. CMC stands for Commercial Motors Corporation

Anong difference ng may MB badge dun sa may sasasasangyong badge? Same body ata?

They're the same vehicle. The Ssangyongs are usually more uplevel than the locally sold MB badged units. But if you were buying them brand new, the MB units had full dealer support whereas all Ssangyong units came from the gray market. A lot of Ssangyong units were also rebadged by their dealers into MB's. But it's pretty easy to sniff a local unit from an import once you get the hang of it (I posted the differences at the other MB100 thread). The giant side mirrors were exclusive to import units, btw.

mga sirs, san po mabibili ang MB100? sam shops that sell bestas, graces, etc(e.g. along mindanao ave.)?

Yup. There are Korean surplus Ssangyong Istanas from the same dealers. No brand new units, though.

Personally I'd prefer acquiring from the actual previous owner than from a Korean surplus yard.

I agree with doc Otep, if you want to buy an MB go to the previous owner than to a surplus yard and read the thread here it will help a lot. be a wise buyer, choose the best dont rush or else you will get a stone instead of gold. one more classified adds from the internet will help also do not buy from a buy and sell agent as much as possible.
nowadays ive been seeing lots of MB on the road, it seems like it was just released yesterday, well good for us MB owners the parts are very well available.

i had one before. for me, thats the father of all vans.

on the negative side, maingay yung nasa gitna ng driver and passenger seat,transmission ba yun? di naman siguro makina dahil bandang harap yun

There is a grinding noise from the flywheel. But it does not affect the functionality of the vehicle. This was addressed in the last of the series (the ones with body colored wipers) via a different flywheel and improved engine insulation.

I stuffed the shifter boot with cotton balls and it reduced the noise as well.
