This is the fascia I ordered:

And the stereo I ordered is an older model so I got it cheap. I don't like touch screens and this one has a front USB slot which I prefer:

I also ordered some Pioneer speakers for front (4")and rear (5.25").

sir nakabit niyo na ba speakers niyo? looking to upgrade mine also. 4" lang sana para everything will be bolt on.

that's why i got rid of mine a year pa lang, napansin ko na mahina aircon neto, considering na ang liit na nag cabin space tapos di makaya aircon. and ang mahal pa ng parts ng aircon neto.

Now that the rainy season is upon us, what is your recommended brand of wiper for our Jimny. Also, ano ba size ng wiper natin? Including the back if possible. Thanks.

Hi, new here and first time car buyer as well.

I am looking at Jimny JLX MT as a first car, reason being small, cheap and has 4x4 (which is an added bonus since we live in Davao now).

Anyway, seeing and canvassing through dealers in Mindanao, the prices of the JLX is ranging from 820k-840k from the SRP of 790k in MM. Would it be better yo purchase it in Manila and drive iy back?

Second hand is also an option, but there are like 1-2 that are in Davao, one being this, Suzuki Jimny For Sale Philippines - Find 2nd Hand (Used) Suzuki Jimny On OLX. Is that fair price?

Other option still on my list is the new Mitsu Mirage GLX CVT or GLS MT, as well as the Swift 1.2.

Salamat!
Deu

Buy it in Manila and drive it all the way to Davao. You will end up paying the same amount but you get to see the view, break the car in and enjoy the exhilarating experience of driving a jimny. Now that is priceless! Just bring only 1 passenger. The back seat is a killer unless they are kids.

For gas vehicles the size of the Jimny, it would be cheaper to ship it. If it were a diesel, driving it would be cheaper.

Thanks for thr reply! I am well aware of the space. I myself is at 5"11' and my fiancé is at 4"11'. We will be the one primarily using it, with her occasional teen nieces. They're riding for free, so no right to complain. Lol

Thats what has been suggested, and could also just tally at 20k for thr whole ttip based on a blog post I've read dated in 2014. O just have to allocate like 3-4 days probably for the whole trip.

Would the shipping be a big difference yo what the dealers here charge? If that is the case, I'd still probably ship it to CDO, and still drive it back here to Davao.
