Toyota Avanza Owners & Discussions [ARCHIVED]

[pablo_neruda]

I originally intended to buy a unit this december pero I was advised by my bank agent to postpone it until early january (jan. 2, to be exact). Ang issue nya, though 2-3 wks lang ang difference, may implication sa resale value un (i.e., regardless kung dec. 2006 or jan 2006, chances are what will linger in the mind of the prospective 2ndhand buyer is that it's still 2006 model; conversely, kung jan 2007 or dec 2007, same case - 2007 model). Well, I heeded her advice. With regard to price change, she consulted several toyota dealers and was advised that it is not expected to take effect any time in january.

What can u say, guys?

Sa mga 1.3 owners dyan - ilan ba speakers ng unit nyo? Sa akin kasi dalawa lang sa front. Tapos me storage console/storage cup holder between the front seats, sa me handbrake?? Yung akin kasi wala din nito.

Pareho tayo.

Totoo yan. Baka lang humaba ang pila pagdating ng January.

Correct me if I'm wrong pero di ba sa sales may mga quota? Kung meron, di ba mas magandang mamiga o mambarat sa last week ng December because aside from month-end, year-end din. Bale dalawang quota kailangan ma-meet so baka ibigay na kahit minimal ang kita nila......

[pablo_neruda]

I guess, meron ngang quota. I gather the bank (with which I applied for a car loan) and their partner toyota dealer have their respective quotas.

I'm not really sure kung nameet na nung bank un quota nila or the bank agent (actually the manager) was just plainly showing some concern. hehe. She even pointed out that the toyota sales agent with whom she's dealing expressed a different opinion. Siguro nga, nameet na nung bank un quota nila, pero un toyota agent hindi pa. hehe.

In any case, yeah, I expect a longer waiting period in January... Excited na ko, grabe... pero sabi nga nila. Delaying gratification builds character. Bahala na si batman.

Hello Guys,

It's my first time to post but I have been reading all your contributions here from the start. My wife and I are planning to buy an avanza 1.3J. It's our first so I guess I needed all the information I could get. I was just wondering why malaysia has 1.3E, that is with most of the feature we wished there were in J? Does anyone have an idea if toyota would soon produce 1.3E here? I might plan to postpone our purchase if thats the case. Thanks.

Hi Juliovillapando,

I'm in some sort of the same boat as you are. But i and my wife is going for a 1.5G MT. One thing, i've got some UNCONFIRMED report that there's a chance that the price will go up after 6 months..... .... Avanza Phils was released last month so 5 more month to go. Take note...this is unconfirmed. Just trying to help Ka-Tsikot....

[oldblue]

ako habang tumatagal nagdadalawang-isip na kumuha nyan. wala man lang radio controls sa steering wheel, and since 2004 pa pala ito, kaya pala ilaw niya sa likod mala-Adventure na 2nd gen CRV. hindi yun mga bago style ngaun may bilog sa loob

hi guys,

this is what i did. sobra ako excited so i got the avanza and had it registered 2007 january. so gamit ko na sya ng two months. nag pagawa lang ako delivery receipt every week kaya pag nasita ako sinasabi ko kakakuha lang. their correct in saying masmakaka piga ka ng add on interest rate sa bank ngayung december kesa january. mine is 10% in two years.

[wakin]

ive been sa isang toyota dealer. naka display yung avanza bare model (pang taxi daw). I went inside and sat on the driver seat. one of the customer opened and closed the other front door. and guess what? ang sakit sa tenga from the inside. but if nasa labas ka then sinara yung pinto okay naman. anyone noticed this?

Same here. Masyadong excited din kasi! hehe Had mine registered for 2007 and had also requested weekly delivery receipts up til next year. Dito naman sa probinsya di halos naninita, pero maige na din yung sigurado. Also, dito kasi mabilis mag taas ng presyo ng dealers. Like sa Innova, kaka release pa lang, two months later nag text na SA na magtatas na daw sila ng mga presyo...

At least I made my wish come true to be the first here to have an Avanza! Weeeeee!

Hmmmm. I have a 1.3J model. I don't know kung anong pagkakaiba nya sa bare model for taxi, but I don't feel any pressure in my ears whenever I open and close the doors. My young sons who seem to be glued to the inside of the car nowadays (laging sama ng sama at naglalaro sa loob ng sasakyan kada ilabas sa garahe kasi ) didn't complain of any problems during closing of the doors. My doors are almost the same as posted in the pictures of early threads here (bare metal door trims and thin pressed vinyl door panels) but both the noise inside and outside are acceptable.

[Ludwig]

For 1.3 owners, have any of you guys made upgrades on your rides? Kung meron pa balita naman. Pakita ng pictures kung meron, hehe. Gusto ko na talaga kasing magpagawa ng uprgrade pero since wala pang orig Toyota Avanza parts available malamang sa labas ako magpapagawa. Like power windows, alarm with back door latch control (para mabuksan na luggage door from the ouside hehe), roof rack, door visors, body kit. Yun muna. La na budget sa iba e. hehe.

A telling sign of the taxi model, is the lack of a third row bench and it is only available in color white.

[beebs]

hi peeps! congrats sa mga new avanza owners! nakakatuwa naman ang thread na 'to. it reminds me of the toyota fortuner thread that vicoyski started last year. naalaala ko tuloy when i got my fortuner vvti a year ago. super excited din ako. enjoy your new rides and welcome to the family of toyota owners!

haven't noticed that my friend. I just came from a 3 hour traffic from rosario cavite iba talaga ang avanza. di ako pagod kasi mataas sya and rides almost like a sedan. just a little input of my experience. by the way i live in san juan near the munisipyo. hehehe

[rbligop]

Mga ka-tsikot....meron na bang available na car cover ng avanza sa market? kung meron...saan at magkano?.....

[akal]

Hi akal,

I can help you with avanza champagne. no waiting time and pila. just tell me if you want. its in toyota dagupan where i got. andito land bodega nila sa maria clara quezon city. service center dito na rin sa kanila. and galing ng system nila madali mag pa service.

Hi Gensi, if ever lipat ako ng branch which you recommend (Dagupan), i-apply ko pa ba ulit ng panibagong car loan yun. Approved na kasi kami sa BPI pero para sa Toyota Shaw. Wala pa kasi available dun sa champagne color na gusto namin. Thanks.

this is what i tested. i have an innova j. na compare ko lang ang sound pag sinara ang pintuan.

pwede yun. pero mas maganda kapag e bargain natin na pababa an natin yung interest rate compared sa b.p.i para mas magand di ba. pero alam ko pwede kasi bank naman ang kausap hindi naman ang dealer. direct tayo sa may ari ng toyota dagupan. wala na tayong sales agent na kakausapin. if you want canvass lang samahan ko kayo.
