finally, nakuha ko na din yung plate no. ko after 21 days with 2007-2009 sticker. binigay lang sa akin photo copy ng OR, yung mga original wala pa daw (OR & CR). sa mga bumili ng cash nakuha nyo na ba agad yung orig OR & CR?

Dear mga Tsongs,
thanks for this site, it was very helpfull..... i am getting my avanza this 1st week of march. i am getting it cash. automatic 1.5 G. i ordered the champagne color but seems it is very difficult to get such that color my SA told frankly she will try her best to give me but after 3 weeks wala pa din so we cannot wait instead we just get the silver color which in the chinese year is one the lucky color..

My SA is connected to toyota dasma.. manila bay...i got less 10k company discount, free rust roof, tint but not 3M. seat cover... no chattel mortage... free lto and tpl but the comprehensive insurance eh P20,900 medyo mahal pero yun na daw ang best offer nila sa comprehensive insurance....
This site was very helpfull... siguro after ko makuha ang car ko eh bili ako ng mga ibang accessories got form this forum, tial light extension... car paint...step board at roof rails......sabi sa akin ng SA ko eh ngayon daw 5K na lang ang binibigay nilang company discount..... just keep on posting this is my 1st car and wala ako gaanong alam sa car but thanks sa site na ito talagang very helpful.......drive safely and keep us updated.

ako ulit...... siguro pag kuha ko ng avanza ko eh magdala ako ng checklist or copy ng full specs nila para sure ako na meron lahat.....check ko din ang 3rd row seet kung nagla lock sya... kasama pala ang seatcover sa freebies nila......sa autodresscode mura ang tail light extender based sa nabasa ko mas mura dun. ang roof rails sa autocentro naka bolts daw o naka tornilyo di katulad kay spacetech eh naka double adhesive daw which na nakakatakot at baka mawala ang dikit lumipad at maka disgrasya pa.....sayang din ang gastos kung magkaganun, then sa pain protector sa bigbert......question lang mga bro...di kasama ang backsensor sa G class ng avanza...... saan ba murang magpalagay ng back sensor... at how much ang back sensor sa ngayon.... and also i will ask my SA kung totoo nga ma void ang electrical warranty kapag nagalaw ang linya sa loob... meaning hindi ako pwedeng magpalagay ng back sensor sa labas kung mas mura at mawala ang warranty ko.... back sensor sa toyota cost P5,6++. medfyo mahal pati 3M tint additional almost 6k for that. kasi ang regular daw nila eh Us gila daw. so pansamantala eh yun muna tehn saka ko nalang palitan kung malaki na ang damage o matuklap..........another question saan murang magpalagay ng side skirt or protector. at stepboard baka siguro autocentro at autodresscode meron na sila pagpunta ko paki post naman ang price para matawarana at di ako taasan pagnagpunta ako......... post a message ulit pag may time ako....

bro, kausapin mo SA mo na di na uso US gila tint, ang pinaka mababa na nilalagay ng toyota ngayon platinum, mas ok di nag color violet pagtumagal.platinum din kasi yung pinalagay ko sa old car ko hanggang naibenta ko oks pa sya (after 2 years).

**jovel** · February 21st, 2007 08:37 PM

thanks jaspi for the advance.... next na tawag ko eh sabihin ko sa kanya na platinum ang ilagay nya.... una na nga sabi ko hwag na lang ilagay at palitan na lang ng back sensor at ako na lang ang magpapatint. pero ayaw nya palit lang daw sa tint eh doblehin nya ang seat cover. so sabi ko sige yung tint na lang nila at pag ok na sa budget eh saka ko na lang ipa #M o kaya yung V-cool na sinasabi nila... mga P2500 lang naman siguro yun kaysa magbayad ako ng less than 6K.. thanks ulit for the advise

...ha ha ha....

napatawa mo ako dun ah ang cute ng sabi mo "ang nanay mo kase pasaway ang liit ng pinadalang pang-down payment". Isisi ba sa nanay? Cge takutin mo sabihin mo di mo sya pasasakayin.... joke lang! we should love our mothers and I know you do!

Cge sir try mo BPI based from our comrades from this thread they also agree about BPI deal. Try mo! Yesterday I asked BPI branch manager here in my place if all branches offer the same rate. She said

though mine is special, I don't know why..... cguro nadaan ko sa gandang lalaki...

joke lang! Pero yun nga sabi nya... cguro nakita nya authenticity ng dala kong quotation from TYT pasong tamo.... and she wanted me to be impressed by her offer.

regards,

mukhang oks yung side molding, oks na cguro sakin ang black, tutal 1.3J ang unit ko black ang side mirror, black ang mudguard, black ang door handle at may trim lining na black rubber sa roof

Hi Fellow Tsikoteers!

I am a newbie here but I have been reading your posts long before. I must say that you all have helped me a lot in my decisions. Thank you!

I am in the process of buying a 1.5F A/T but I need your help once more. I noticed that no one has posted anything about Loan versus Lease.

I have applied for a Leasing scheme with Toyota and I have been approved. I have also applied for a Bank Loan. Now, I am not sure which is best. Can any of you please tell us what's the Pros and Cons of Loan and Lease? I have been told that Leasing is usually offered only to companies or bulk purchases. For my case, they offered me a leasing option. I'm not sure why but I think Toyota is promoting this.

So far this is what I know:

Leasing Pros:

- only 15% downpayment needed
- low interest rate
- no chattel mortgage

Leasing Cons:

- people say that you don't technically own the car until your last payment

Loan Pros:

- low interest rate
- you own the car but with bank

Loan Cons:

- 20% downpayment needed
- chattel mortgage fee required
