Hilux 2007, Thailand or Phil made?

[Memphis Raines]

I think I understand na your situation.

Although it is true that even casa's have their own share of shortcomings, for me, it is still not a good enough reason to forget about the warranty. Dealer shortcomings are also as common as problematic brand new cars since neither are perfect. Honda has leaking roof and paint problems on the All New Civic, Ford has some complaints on their interior noise due to loose panels, plastics and even creaking suspensions on some of their Expedition variants.

Toyota has a multitude of Choking, hardstarting, etc problems on the D4D engine. To say that a Hilux is matibay is fine but remember even a multi-million buck Ferrari goes up in flames.

To the issue naman if the unit is from Thailand or not, I wouldn't care so as long as Toyota gives me the warranty worthy of the price I paid for. In this case, letting go of P1.3M is no joke and if God forbid something mechanical or electrical problem happens within just a year of your purchase, your initial "savings" might just be surpassed by the cost of repairs to be done therefore defeating the purpose of this purchase altogether.

I hope that when you do decide, remember that this can't be just a coin toss. Malayo pa naman ang December so think long and hard.

dun pa din ako sa may warranty sir. peace of mind na pinag uusapan. dami pa naman electrical/computer component mga bago ngaun...

sir nismo ,
pgdating sa engine problems dpat sa casa kc mas nakaka alam sila sa mga d4d problems,pero pg under chasis,electricals or khit mga add on sa accessories,sa labas mo na paggawa,khit change oil pwede mo pggwa sa mekaniko mo,as long as original toyota oil filters gmitin mo,for pms sa labas ko na pina pgwa sa kin,kc kailangan mo pang pumila sa casa tpos kailangan un oil dun mo talaga bilhin sa kanila,no problems sa bagong model na lumabas ngyon,khit back door yan, toyota hilux poa rin yan and same din yan sa mgha nka display sa toyota, brand new...kya mas mura kc d na dumaan sa dealer,un servicing nyan since alang warranty ng casa, pwede mo pa rin paggawa sa kanila,bayad ka nga lang,.kina ganda lang dyan is mura talaga compared to financing..tawaran mo nga lng ng 1.2M CASH...hehehe

It's your money. If you think you can service it on your own, there's no problem if you want to get a Hilux. The service vehicle I use is also D4d but Japan CBU. The warranty is voided already because the vehicle is maintained in-house. If there's a problem, it's my boss that'll foot the bill already.

But with fellow Tsikoteer's current headaches with his late model Quezon-based Hilux, I wouldn't get a Hilux. Period. But that's just me.

nismo26, ung bagong HUGE toyota casa dto sa gensan lapit na matapos, baka mas malapit ka dto kesa davao?

[wildthing]

hilux na gawa sa thailand ang mga naunang inilabas nila (2 years back)...hindi kaya NEW old stock yung ino-offer sa iyo na hilux? these "older" models din ang alam kong problem-infested ones.

since you are paying at nearly the same amount as the regular brandnew one i highly recommend that you get their latest production instead. just my 2 cents.
