Toyota Avanza Owners & Discussions [ARCHIVED]

[lm723]

yung 5 seater walang 3rd row.. pang taxi.

I see, meron na kayang gumagawang 3rd row seat sa labas?

Dual aircon na po ba?

[neyratec]

...aba for FREE?? ayus yun ah.. eh di parang sinabi na din nilang pwede via warranty...

Kya nga e.
Kya lang kung gnon, prang in-admit nila na there is really something funny about the unit. hmmm... it is really something to think about...

[woohoo]

Spring-loaded ba hood ng avanza?

Sorry for asking, this is my first Avanza model.
Never seen an actual one in-depth except in pics.

Honestly, I dont think there is something special s hood ng avanza when it comes to closing/opening.

No, I mentioned that only because it was possible na ganun ang naisip nung nagsasara, while he was trying to close it. Mabilisan lang ng naisip dahil may resistance.

IS IT POSSIBLE NA HINDI NYA NAI-LOCK UNG METAL ROD IN ITS PROPER PLACE ALLOWING IT TO MOVE FREELY WHILE DRIVING?

It is possible, but I don't think that can cause it to bend the way it did.

Another surprising thing is, T Alabang refuses to fix at first saying it was not covered by warranty. Then later on, they called asking the unit be returned and decided that they will order a new and replace the deformed hood.

Next point is:

DID THEY ADMIT THAT FAULT IS IN THE UNIT ITSELF OR WE WERE JUST LUCKY THAT TA WILL FIX A DAMAGE CAUSED BY US FOR FREE?

Just some thoughts...

I think you got lucky. Hehe.

All power po ba ang J?

No. Power steering lang.

Iyong 5-seater na avanza ay white lang yata.

Wala pa akong nababalitaan na gumagawa ng 3rd row.

Lahat ng Avanza ay dual aircon.

Dito kasi as long as may insurance ka, wla k ng gagastusin.
May naaksidente ako. lol. Share ko lng.
Kompressor, 2-door. Naatrasan ni Suzuki one rainy morning in Dubai.
Hayun, yupi ang door. Ouch! Pamporma tlga auto nya.
Met the owner, admit its my fault and called the police.
Then, i let him claim my insurance for the damages.
In week bnew ung door nya.
Make me wonder how much it costs.
Didn't bother. lol.

Toyota is charging 12k to fix. May dent na daw na kailangang higupin, den repaint possibly. Too expensive.

One shop in Banawe offers 6k.
Still too expensive coz I'm not ready to spend again for a bnew unit which starts to have problems in a matter of hours away from the showroom.

Then surprisingly, TA called and say they will fix it.
Quite a relief. Today is the scheduled release of the fixed one.
Hopefully its as good as new as supposed to be.

good for you sir! at least, wala kang i-shoulder na pera.
weird lang doon sa highlight ko, bakit ka nila i-charge ng 12K kung pwede naman i-claim sa insurance???

Actually, that's the idea. They'll charge 12k to fix the thing.

It's fixed finally!
As good as new daw sabi ng aking ina.
Pics to follow.

Well. it's not totally FREE after all.
I have to pay 1.5k for labor. Fair enough.

Thanks for all ur comments.
See you all in future EBs on April onwards...

Ang alam ko, kung under car loan, xerox lang talaga. Ibibigay nila ang original pag fully paid na. Pero kung cash, original lahat ng rehistro mo.
