**"DJ"** · February 6th, 2005 12:24 PM

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

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......

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** · February 8th, 2005 09:50 AM

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

**GlennSter** · February 8th, 2005 09:54 AM

pare...380!?!?

mahal...

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.
