im a fortuner user and i dont want to brag more about it... with your money in hand ,go for the brand new (fort, sorento, sta.fe etc) .. picking 2nd hand SUV is a gamble, you might find the good one or otherwise... you can never easily tell if the 2nd hand SUV is well taken care of or abuse by simply looking at it and driving it for 10 min...

I'd prefer brand new over secondhand, as I've had the worst luck buying secondhand vehicles (what can I say? I'm adventurous! ), but it's possible to find very low mileage vehicles in good condition within your budget.
Difficult, but still possible.
Despite the harsh ride, I'd prefer the Fortuner. It's a newer vehicle, and it handles commendably well for ladder frame SUV on the road (it's toe to toe with the new unibody Pajero for handling) and is tough. Disclaimer, don't drive it like a car... it feels like a car to drive, and I see lots of people driving these around really quickly, oblivious to the fact that it weighs almost two tons and has off-road tires...
If power isn't a big deal for you, you can save and get the 2.5... but personally, I'd hunt around for a secondhand 3.0 turbodiesel. Test it first for the D4D problem (exhaustively chronicled here...), but I've met owners with over 40,000 km under their belt who've experienced nothing untoward.
And if the previous owner has changed the shocks already, all the better.Last edited by niky; October 20th, 2006 at 02:20 AM.

brand new syempre but your vying for the gasoline engine fortuner which is far to comapre to the 2nd hands your are also vying for which is diesel... cunsumption wise... diesel is always matipid and cheaper... but brand new cars free you from any defects or maintenance of worn out parts unless you know the owner of the 2nd hand cars and their background....

October 20th, 2006 11:51 AM #18if you were in my shoes which SUV will you go for ?
usually a 2 or 3 yr old SUVs are not that daldal
if you could haggle the pajero for 1.3M to 1.4 then why not di ba
4m41 engine plus all independent suspension...sarap ng ride niyan
Patrol and Troopers are out since they have the turbo and fuel injectors problem
meron na rin 2nd hand na fortuner dito and yung ride din ang complaint...nabenta 1,080,000

Considering that a brand-new Pajero III costs Php2.5M++ nowadays, getting a unit for Php1.5M ain't bad. Even with repairs, I doubt you'll be spending anything near Php1M. In return, you get a feature-packed FLAGSHIP SUV. Top of the line kaagad. No one will bother to ask you if it's brand new or used.
Isipin mo na lang na yung pang repairs mo ay yung monthly payments ng brand new. Yung repairs hindi naman every month unlike monthly payments and malabo namang gagastos ka sa repairs na sinlaki ng monthly payment ng brand new unit.
Ang mahirap lang sa used, isang bagsakan ang bayaran. Parang binili mo ng cash kumbaga sa brand new. Other than that, ok na din.

Ditto with keeping your options open for the next few weeks. Take a look around at the 2nd hand market before putting your DP for a brand new Fortuner.
