MB100, Ssangyong/Daewoo Istana [ARCHIVED]

["DJ"]

Thanks ulit for the posts guys

Yesterday I went to see the unit that I'm planning to buy......

Eto mga details nung unit.......

-P380,000 yung price(pwede pa daw pag-usapan)
-1997 CMC model, Silver(pareho sa color nung Van nila Otep)
-88,000 Km na yung tinatakbo niya
-Compared sa na-rent namin na MB100, masmaganda yung tunog nung engine niya(hindi gaanong maingay)
-If I decide to buy the unit, ako na ang 3rd owner
-may konting gasgas sa may lower part nung sliding door and sa signal light(front, right)
-maganda pa naman ang interior
-medyo may sira yung isang folding seat(yung nasa 1st layer nung passengers)
-may diperensiya din ng konti yung pindutan ng air-con(it takes around 6-8 pushes bago kumagat)
-Mukhang ok pa naman ang air-con(malakas pa kapag nasa number 3)

Pumayag sila ng trade-in......P180,000 yung magiging worth nung Lancer GL 98 ko(3rd owner na ako nun and medyo kailangan ng hilamos) ofcourse may mga tatanggalin akong mga accesories like yung sound system, Tanabe muffler etc. Magdodownpayment pa rin ako ng 40,000(para yata sa comp. insurance or something) tapos yung remaining balance ko 12 months to pay.....

Btw sabi nung agent na kausap ko, ipaaayos nila yung maliit na gasgas sa door van, yung button ng air-con and yung sirang folding seat....Sagot na daw nila

Later baka pumunta ako ulit dun para i-finalize yung deal......Btw hindi ko pa na-test drive yung van kaya later i-tetest drive namin(magsasama ako ng mekaniko)

What do you think guys? Lugi ba ako dito? Any opinions? suggestions?

Yung pindutan ng front aircon iniiwan na lang nakapindot yun. Talagang masisira yun if you keep messing with it. You need only move the rotary fan speed dial to turn it on and off.

Same with the rear a/c master button on the dashboard. Just keep it depressed. Off and on na lang yung rear a/c via the rotary knob at the back.

I'm not so sure sa price aspect, though.

How about yung folding seat? Napapagawa pa ba yun? Kasi hindi na maitayo ng maayos yung sandalan eh......As in parang laging nakahiga yung uupo dun

[OTEP]

Baka na-stuck lang sa 'up' position yung locking lever. Check mo muna. Minsan kailangan mo isubsob ng todo yung upuan (sit on it habang nakayuko) para magreset yung lever.

Baka naman may seatcover interfering with the mechanism.

Actually pare wala ngang seatcover eh.......Sabi sa akin nung agent na binuksan na daw nila yung mechanism nung folding seat(yung sa gilid).......may sinasabi siyang "bola" na parang gear or lock na bumigay na daw......

[OTEP]

Hmmm...hindi pa ko nasiraan ng ganyan, eh.

Kapag hindi nila magawa, try to score a surplus seat na lang kahit sa mga Korean surplus.

IMO, mahal ang 380K for that van... you can get first owned 1997 MB100 vans with roughly 100K on the odo for 280-320K tops.... plus you can sell your Lancer for 200K at least.

3rd owner tapos 88K lang ang mileage? Take it with a grain of salt (lalo na kung buy and sell ang nagbebenta). Take your time dude.

[OTEP]

Although hindi pa din impossible ang 88k on the odo. Nasa ganyang range din ang 1997 MB100 namin kahit daily use siya.

[GlennSter]

pare...380!?!?

mahal...

["DJ"]

Thanks for giving your opinions dudes

Na-try namin yung Van last Sunday......Kasama ko yung company mechanic namin(mekaniko namin sa mga tow-truck namin)......Ok naman daw......compared dun sa isang tiningnan ko......Maganda pa yung tunog ng makina niya. Wala rin kaming masabi sa performance nung suspension niya(Hindi pa makaltag kahit dumaan sa lubak) Ok pa rin naman yung air-con

Although I must agree.......medyo may kamahalan yung price.......

I tried to look for other MB100s na 4sale.......Halos lahat second owner na din......Tapos gusto nila CASH PAYMENT.....Kaso kulang cash ko eh

Dun kasi sa kausap ko......Pumayag ng trade-in tapos yung balance PDCs thru loan

Anyway......Tanggal naman halos lahat ng accessories ng cotse ko eh......So medyo may mababawi naman ako.

[OTEP]

Don't worry so much about the MB100 suspension. Ang tibay niyan. Yung samin, yung rubber axle boot pa lang ang pinalitan since binili.

Wala akong patawad sa mga lubak kahit yun ang dala ko.

["DJ"]

Musta mga pare?

Just wanted to tell u guys na nakuha ko na yung MB100......Thanks for the replies mga pare(specially to OTEP).....Nakatulong kayo mga pare

I-papachange oil ko na siya........Saan kaya maganda bumili ng mga kailangan? Any suggestions?

Btw....I'm planning to buy a TV and a DVD player para sa van......

Someone's selling me a Car TV......hindi yung LCD ha.....TV talaga na pang auto...Hindi ako sure kung panasonic or phillips ata eh...10.5 inches yata yung unit eh.....He's selling it for 5k Sulit kaya?...any suggestions?

Oo nga pala......parang may naririnig akong bola na nagdridrible kapag nalulubak kami.......sa bandang likod eh....pero hindi naman masyadong malakas......sabi sa akin ng pinsan ko baka daw bushings yun.......pero di pa ako sure eh.....ano kaya yun?

Thanks

[OTEP]

Did you check if the spare and its basket are securely fastened? The tools and jack can also bounce as well as loose seatbelts.

Congrats on your new vehicle sir!

I-checheck ko yung spare mamaya pare Baka nga yun lang ang problema.......

Btw.....Ano yung TV na nakakabit sa MB100 mo pare? Mukhang ok ang pagkakasetup ah

[vinj]

Congrats on your new ride.

Bili ka na rin ng cotton para sa shifter boot. ;)

Btw ano ba yung shifter boot? Saan ba nakakabili ng cotton para sa shifter boot? Yun ba yung nasa cambiyo?

[OTEP]

TV yung para sa motorhome. Tapos may Nextbase DVD player sa ilalim.

Yung TV sa Cash and Carry. Yung DVD player sa Greenhills ata.

Yung stand at wiring designed by my dad and our carpenter. Ewan ko kung may commercially available.

Siguro mas maganda mag flip-down screen ka na lang. Nung ginawa namin yung set up na ito hindi pa uso ang LCD monitors, eh.

Medyo mahirap kasi kung magfliflip down ako eh.......Baka matakpan yung view nung driver sa likod........

Pero first choice ko talaga mag LCD tapos bili ng separate na DVD player(yung phoenix sa RAON pwede na).........

Kaso mahirap i-setup yung LCD kapag sa baba ilalagay......Yung nasa 1st at 2nd layer lang ng passenger ang makakapanood nun kasi mababa yung pagkakalagay nung LCD......

May nirerefer sa akin yung isang electrician na car tv(malamang kamukha nung sa inyo) tapos sabi niya bili nalang daw ako ng separate na DVD player.......

Ilang inches ba yung TV ng MB100 nyo pare?

[OTEP]

9" ata yung TV. We configured it in such a way that the right side and cabin mirror are fully usable.

Shifter boot yung parang leather that covers the shifter below the shift knob. Some owners fill it with cotton or sound insulation to lessen the noise that passes through.

["DJ"]

Ahhhhh I see......Ordinary cotton lang pala yun....... :D

Medyo maingay nga yung sound galing sa transmission......Pero bearable naman
