Grey market dubai version is the better choice. Don't forget to inquire about the pms and warranty...goodluck sir!
Tenk u ser!
Sir regarding that, lahat ba ng lc merong kdss? Kasi we also checked the euro version vs dubai, ano ba yung signifcant differences nung dalawa kasi sa nakita namin more than 1m more yung sa euro ver? And plus pala sa amin yung merong sunroof(which is nakita lang sa euro ver)
My dad's Dubai version doesn't have KDSS, afaik. It also has a slightly detuned engined compared to the Euro version but you wouldn't really notice since the engine's power is more than enough for most people. I've been driving a V6 Camry for the past 8 years and not once did I think the LC200 was underpowered.
Just for reference, we got the LC200 for 4m flat and it came standard with the following:
Bodykit: Front, side and rear skirts, rear spoiler, rear plate garnish
20" wheels
Touchscreen monitor (NO headrest or roof mounted tv screens though)
Front and rear cameras w/ sensors
Beige leather seats
The Dubai version also has dual fuel tanks (I'm not sure w/ the local or Euro versions)
One thing I don't like about the Dubai version is it still came with manual seat adjustments.
Sir interior plastic parts of dubai version can withstand our climate here. While the euro version cannot. After a few years the plastic parts will fall off and degrade on their own.
Regarding the sunroof sir try to ask around and i think meron option na ganayan sa dubai version as well.
Got my lc200 grey market in buendia auto exchange. No warranty. And yes , toyota dealerships will not service your unit unless you know someone. But its a toyota. Its a landcruiser. Meaning its easy to service and built for conditions far far worse than metro manila roads.
The euro version has more bells and whistles and more importantly a more powerful diesel engine. I think its got about 45hp more than the dubai version (which i have). But i dont think it should be priced p1m more (which it is) ........ The dubai version diesel engine is powerful and torquey enough. And besides, this beast weighs over 6000 lbs. you're not going to race it and above 140kph it really gets floaty. Though ironically, i chipped mine and added alcohol injection hehehe. I know i contradicted myself there but oh well.....
It took them about 5 months to get me my plates. Not so sure how they would compare to a regular dealer.
The local version has a better guage cluster than the dubai version though the dubai version makes up for it with more bling.
Try Toyota Makati. I saw a LC200 which looked like the Dubai Version that had Toyota Makati plates attached. I think it even had a conduction sticker. Maybe Toyota Makati can do the importation for you and they might even provide the warranty and PMS.
Since toyota makati at toyota bicutan ay main distributor,
Yes! It's possible po na mag-indent order..
kaya lang naman di tinatanggap yung mga grey market vehicles ng local, during PMS, dahil iba iba ang configuration pag dating sa maintenance ng sasakyan,
Iba kasi ang configuration ng asia, us, euro, middle east.
kaya ayaw ng local casa dito sa pinas na gumalaw ng imported dahil wala dun sa training nila at asia po ang config.
kung meron imported na sasakyan at same brand din, bago nila ayusin for maintenance/troubleshooting/repair, kailangan nila mag-training at hingiin yung mga certain manual(s) sa certain country kung saan na-assemble at na-manufacturer yung certain vehicle.
syangapala..
ang mas mainit sa mata ng carnapers ay yung madaling mabenta.. hindi yung mamahalin. at lalong-lalo na hindi yung i-ilan lang sa bansa..
mas nakawin ang vios at altis, kaysa crown at land cruiser.
siguro mas "headline" kapag mamahalin ang sasakyang ninakaw, nguni at ilang vios ang ninakaw na hindi nadidiaryo, sa bawat laferaring ninakaw at nadiaryo..?

sa mindanao or other parts of visayas, mataas yung demand sa ganyang sasakyan. yung malakilaking grupo ang titira dyan. ito yung scenario- pag na-carnap yan babayaran ng insurance company yan on theft clause. so yung owner wala ng problema. the burden is transferred to the insurance company and the latter wouldn't care less, ini-insured din nila yan on re-insurance contract. maraming carnapped na sasakyan di na kini-claim, ino-auction yan pursuant to PD 1911.
lalo na balak ni ts yung may sun roof. in demand yan at malapit na ang election, para pwede kumaway-kaway si mr. politician habang nagmo-motorcade. ok lang kung kukunin lang ang kotse pero huwag naman na sanang babarilin pa.
sino na nga ba yung tsikot member na natutukan pagbaba niya ng bagong nissan patrol sa west avenue? year before election din yun, at may sun roof din.
