i just added another accessories to my avanza yesterday c/o Autodresscode, the side mirror chrome cover w/ light (P2,400) and tail light extender (P1,400). The price and service are excellent, medyo mahirap lang talaga ikabit yung side mirror chrome cover. First time nila mag install for avanza, mostly and previous installations are innova. It took them 2.5 hours to finish the job for the cover alone, unlike innova daw madali.

they don't have stocks for the side moulding, so babalik pa ako tomorrow (di pde ngayon color coding ako e... hehe...)

so ang medyo kulang ko na lang na gusto ko pa ipakabit:

1. side moulding (hopefully tom) - P1,600
2. roof rail (universal lang meron sila so hintay muna ako nung standard for avanza)
3. body skirts

right now meron na akong:

1. Chrome door handle and cover
2. spoiler (built in sa G yata talaga yon.)
3. chrome pillars
4. side mirror chrome cover
5. tail light extender

yung mga items na i don't have plans to install:

1. front and rear lamp covers
2. hood guard
3. plate garnish
4. step board

btw, i bought my avanza G (in toyota otis) last dec. 16. and got the sticker last feb 2.

Hi ensoncruz,

Ang mura lang pala ng side mirror chrome cover with light kay Alex. Sa TYT bicutan 9K+ yon. Talagang mura sa Autodresscode. Babalik ako next month para kay Alex para magpalagay ng Alarm system, mouldings at roof rail. If you will talk to Alex can you tell him pinakukumusta ka ni Engr. Cristobal. By the way wala paring kaming plate no. sa TYT Bicutan namin nakuha yung aming Avanza 1.5G A/T Champagne last Jan. 5.

.

laserbim, aside from looking at the pros and cons, eto suggestion ko for you to be able to see the difference bet the two in terms of Php:

1) try to prepare a matrix/table showing cashflow breakdown from day 0 to last day/term of payment given the quotes on Loan and Lease Options.
2) compute for total payments made for both
3) get the difference bet. original price and total payments made = total interest payments
4) now compare the total interest payments for the two options.
5) After seeing which is cheaper, assess whether other factors could outweigh said price difference in price. Kung wala naman, then get the cheaper one at face value.

anyway guys, lupet dito ah. parami na ng parami. hehe... ilang araw lang akong nawala, napagiwanan nako agad. rbligop, hope ok na unit mo.

good news, also got my plate no. and sticker yesterday! huthut. after 21 days lang.

sa mga newbies, remind ko lang, if you wish to join the survey I'm doing, please pm me your a) (Fuel Consumption) FC, b) variant, c) transmission type, d) fuel, and e) driving conditions. (see earlier thread). As of this writing, still only have 5 volunteer-respondents: me, Akal, jaspi11, Ludwig, and Gensi311. I will post initial results soon as i get 3 more.

Eto pala pagcompute ng FC:
· For FC : load full tank ng gas (dapat automatic lang at huwag nang itodo) then reset mo yung odometer to "0" . Then sa next full tank mo (same din lang automatic if possible same gas station and pump) ay tingnan mo kung ilang liter ang nadagdag. Then tingnan mo rin yung odometer kung ilang km ang natakbo. FC = ODO Reading/liter na nadagdag.

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

I think you have it reversed, in a loan you don't own the car until the loan is completely paid up until that time the bank/loan company is the lienholder of the car.

In a lease you technically don't own the car since it's a lease, in other words you are just renting the car for the period agreed upon. At the end of the lease term you have the option to buy the car at it's predetermined depreciated value which could be higher or lower than actual market value at the end of the lease. If you decide not to buy the car you have nothing at the end of the lease and you have to make sure you return the car in the same condition that you got it, no scratches or damage otherwise you pay a penalty to the dealer. Leases also have limitations on the mileage per year you can use the car with any kilometer over the limit costing you money per kilometer over.

Leases are better for people who like to have new cars every 2 years and don't mind not owning the property they have been paying for at the end of the contract. If you want to own the car you have to go buy it which means a loan.
