Pricing from sales agent

[bibimidi]

Hi APV people New member here looking around collecting information about the unit. Plano ko rin kasi kumuha ng APV. This is one of the choices I plan to get. The other is either Innova or Avanza.

I receive a quote from Suzuki Iloilo and attaching the same. Ano sa tingin nyo mahal ba to or tama lang? I prefer to get the M/T pero konti lang ang deperensya ng A/T so I'm torn in between. This is more for the wifey kasi OFW ako. From that view the A/T tranny is the best choice. What are your views of manual vs automatic?

if you can have the downpayment bigger then it will greatly help and lessen your monthly payments. price is not so different here in manila.

and ask for more freebies!!! 2 din-headunit with backing camera and sensors, lcd tv headrests!

Thanks olidotcom good advice . I will bug the SA to provide more freebies I hope she will oblige. As for the downpayment yes I agree 100%. The shorter the amortization the better. Magamit pa sa iba ang interest.

Good day sir bibimidi, I got this at Suzuki in E. Rodriguez branch in Quezon City. Metro Manila.
Maybe this would give you and idea about the pricing here.

I also agree with the higher down paymet to lower the amortization.

The Innova and Avanza are good cars. I would choose a diesel Innova for
best fuel economy or an easy to drive 7-seater Avanza but I need the space
so I bought an apv. Even if all these cars have this third row seat,I like the
higher head room and wider leg room of the apv. The apv is not that too
short or long and not that wide so it is easy to drive through the narrow
streets here in Manila. Traffic is sometimes terrible here and it's an advantage
to use an automatic transmission for me. Though it consumes more fuel than
a manual, you don't have to step on the clutch and shift to proper gearing.


Just my opinion, thank you.

Thanks keno4864 good tip from you. Malaki pala ang deperensya ng pricing ng Manila sa Visayas. But I understand it must be due to shipping cost and everything. My only concern is the APV FC which is higher than average OOTB. Dapat e break in mo muna bago ka makakuha ng magandang FC. Para rin kasi ito kay mrs ko. I think this will suit her best being a woman driver and first time at that. I plan to do a test drive on all the target units pag uwi ko. I just hope walang price increase next year otherwise patay tayo hehe

I drove my friend's APV (Type 1) and torque is really bad IMO. Ganyan din ba sa Type II? That's why I think the Innova a/t seems better if you are willing to pay the higher cost (993k gas matic, Manila price).

When I was shopping for a car in '08, the APV caught my eye. It was new, spacious and different from the Innovas and Adventures plying the roads then. Good thing I did not buy one because 4 years and the APV looks dated and ugly on the road. Uglier than the older Innova and Adventures, imho.

[bibimidi]

Some people put a premium in the looks department when shopping for their vehicle while others consider overall performance that suit their needs. So to each his own ika nga.

Does anyone know if Suzuki is releasing a new APV this year? I don't know their release cycle maybe someone can chime in.

Maybe you can go to Manila, buy an APV then drive it straight to Visayas. Pagdating mo diyan, break-in na.

[bibimidi]

Good idea in fact that idea crossed my mind couple of times . However I still have to know the routes to take including the RORO option and the cost to incur. Assignment ko pa ito hehe.

I don't think it's too hard since a relative has done it already and really enjoyed it.

It can be a "summer getaway" for you & your wife too.

+1. Do you happen to know the procedure of travelling from Manila to the Visayas by land and RORO? Surely this must have been done a thousand times. If there is a link you can point me to will appreciate it. Para magka idea rin ako

According to the link below from wikipedia, the successor of the APV is the Ertiga which is already selling like hotcakes in India. It is also available in Indonesia. Pero ang alam ko, mas maliit ang Ertiga compared sa APV. In terms of price & size/space, I think APV na ang pinakasulit (re: price below P1M & size of a minivan).
