bnew altis or 2nd hand rav4 - need advice

[supermanila]

mga sirs, need your advice on this...

I was set on getting an altis 2.0V already when my aunt offered to sell her 3 year old Rav4 4x2 at a very cheap price.

How cheap, I don't know yet, but I think it's going to be 700k or lower. Maalaga sila sa kotse, and indi ito nabaha, I actually saw the exterior of the car, looks to be in good condition, but I haven't seen the interior yet.

Her reason for selling is because nagustuhan nya yung Mazda CX7, so ipapalit nya sa Rav4 nya.

ano mas sulit kunin between the two, ano yung pros and cons? Medyo nagdadalawang isip kasi ako, on one hand, I love the features of the 2.0V altis, on the other hand, the Rav4 will be cheaper to purchase, SUV na sya, but with less features. Also, iba din kasi yung brand new na kotse, so pa advice naman.

Thanks!

for me, i would go with the brand new 2.0V altis. iba pa rin pag brand new ang ride mo. it boils down to this: if you want savings, go for the 3 year old Rav4. Otherwise, the altis would definitely satisfy you.

Sir eto po yung review ng 2.0V Altis from bigbigcar.com

IMO sundin nyo na lang po kung saan kayo masaya hehe, seems to me that mas gusto niyo yung Altis because maraming toys at most of all, brand new..Not sure about sa FC ng Rav4 kung pareho lang halos sila ng 2.0V Altis..But according to bigbigcar.com,

...That performance comes with a price. With a simple four-speed automatic, we didn’t expect economy to be this car’s strong suit... and it wasn’t. Highway driving net a decent 9-11 km/l, but city traffic dragged economy into the 6’s. At least the Corolla’s fat torque curve allows you to drive it with light touches of the pedal... which is how we got 11’s.

*tingin ko di pa nabe-break in yung unit nila, tingin ko lang*

But overall, since maraming good feedbacks about sa very comfy ride ng Altis, at maganda ang interior, I suggest go with the Altis In the long run, IMO baka bawiin din yung savings nyo kapag binili nyo yung Rav4 dahil sa FC nito or maybe slightly higher maintenance cost..

Agree with sir chikselog. The last decision will still come from yours .. and it will be based, not just from our opinions but from your heart ... where does it take you. O.A. naman. hehe

Anyways, i`d go with the altis ... since I can see you can and ready to shoulder misc. expenses like insurance cost ( must be with AOG. better to be sure ) , reg. cost, maintenance etc. etc.

Get the pearl white ... nothing else.

Anyhows, if you want ... there are other alternatives ( pampagulo lang hehe )

1. Ford Focus 2.0 TDCi
2. Lancer EX GT-(a)
3. Honda Civic 2.0S
4. Subaru Impreza 2.0R

brand new altis na, normally ganyan ang mga relative na gusto magpalit ng bago. once nalaman niya na may balak bumili ang isang relative, they will try to sell kung ano yung gusto palitan. in the end bago ulit car nila

anyway, if you can afford brand new unit, dun ka na unless rav talaga hanap mo. also 5 seater lang rin naman, both front wheel drives, wala na warranty yun so sagot mo na lahat.

on the other hand, getting the RAV4 spares the TS the astronomical cost of casa maintenance... if he/she knows where to get the parts (not that hard, really).

Depende siguro sa TS... is he/she some sort of gearhead? or would he/she prefer that others take care of everything?

if the former, lots of savings with the RAV4 (more than 300k for gas and maintenance). if he/she is more of the latter, then the brand new car, with its warranty, would be preferred.

get the altis 2.0 and ako na lang bili nun rav4 hehe..

[2slow]

Why not get the rav4 and after a month or gusto mo parin ang altis benta mo yung rav4 at higher price tapos bili ka ng altis.

For me better buy yung rav4, Yung ride quality nito is almost like the camry. HIgher ground clearance than the altis. And your buying it at a super low price.
