c) Me nabasa ako sa previous post na kasama daw sa freebies nya ung rust proofing, wala bang rust proofing ang mga avanza?
d) kailangan pa ba nun upgrade alarm, rear spoiler? di ba meron na ang 1.5G nito?
e) me nabasa kc ako na kapag daw naka 1k na yung mileage dapat pa change oil. Anong anong maitenance po ba ang gagawin kung me car na?
Salamat po.

Hi, boknoytm!
re a) Any dealer might not be able to give everything you want. What you can do is come up with a list of essential freebies then prioritize.

If I were to buy a new car again, I would probably forego freebies like matting, seatcover, tint dahil yang mga yan mabibili ko sa labas at a lower cost, I can choose the quality/material and more importantly it will NOT void any warranty if done outside the casa.

Since new driver ka baka pwede mong irequest sa dealer to have a rear backup sensor or an upgrade sa alarm mo instead of the matting/tint/seatcover.

b) Depende pa rin yan sa usapan nyo with the dealer. As the saying goes "Customer is King" however businesses have to profit also. You need to discuss with your SA yung mga options available.

c) In my case my SA told me that he included rustproofing in the freebies~ whether rustproofing is indeed a standard when purchasing a new car esp. with an Avanza I am not sure.

d) Isa lang ang remote ng Avanza unlike other cars na dalawa. I actually just wanted a spare remote for my Vanzie. Unfortunately, the cost of one remote is about the same price ng alarm with more features tapos I need to wait pa for several days dahil i-oorder pa sa planta yung remote at kailangan dalhin si vanzie for configuration. Hassle, so I decided to have my alarm upgraded na lang during my 1k PMS same day nakuha ko na si vanzie. Yung existing alarm natin basic features lang so bonus na yung added security features ng new alarm ko (back read ka na lang po....) ngayon 3 pa remote ko. I have the option to use my original alarm or the new one.

e) yes 1k change oil...pag nakabili ka na ng Avanza they will give you a manual and a warranty booklet andun lahat ng mga info you need to know. You may also backread re PMS ng mga ACP members~ prices, replacement parts, etc.

Break-in period kasi yung first 1000km, pipinuhin pa yung edges ng cylinders sa makina, yung piston rings din, doon pa lang makukuha yung magandang fit against the cylinders. Maraming style ng pag-break-in, merong nagsasabing mas okey kung susundin yung instructions ng manufacturer, meron namang nagsasabing mas maganda kung patakbuhin nang super-tulin para lumabas ang mga problema at mas maganda raw ang performance kalaunan. Meron ding variable ang pag-break-in -- low RPMs with BURSTS of high revving which are getting longer and longer as you go along.

Sa maintenance naman, nasa manual ang mga kailangang ipa-service na parts.

Merong parts na mas madalas ipa-check kesa sa iba.

Sa unang PMS checkups (1000, 5000, 10000, 15000km), konti lang ang maintenance, compared to 20000km PMS. Heto ang (BAD) experience ni jaspi11 sa 20k PMS niya:

3. replace engine oil (nakita ko naman nilagyan ng 3 liters)
4. engine oil filter (pinalitan talaga)
5. inspect engine collant (dinagdagan lang ng tubig yung reserve)
6. inspect exhaust pipe and mounting (parang di ko nakitang ininspect)
7. replace sparkplug (meron namang recovery ng luma nilagay dun sa flooring ko)
8. inpsected battery( eto ang merong kwento mamaya)
9. inspected air filter (ang sabi ng SA papalitan daw pero nung tingnan hinanginan lang)
10. inspect PCV valve ventilation hoses & connection (di ko din nakitang ininspect)
11. inspect brake pedal and parking brakes (ininspect naman)
12. inspect clean and adjust break (oks naman nakita ko)
13. inspect break pad and disk (oks din)
14. inspect brake and clutch fuids (oks din)
15. power steering fuids (oks din)
16. inspect ball joint and dust cover (parang di ko din nakitang ininspect)
17 inspect steering wheel and linkage (basta parang more on brakes and change oil lang ginawa)
18. inspect transaxel and transmission oil (di nga sinilip eh)
19. inpsect front/rear wheel suspension (paano kaya ininspect)
20. inspect bolt and nuts on chassis & body (ang pinihit lag eh yung pang drain ng oil)
21. inpsect tire and inflation presure (oks naman na check)
22. inspect light horn washer road test( di din nagawa)
23. inspect aircon (parang di din nagawa)

tgmo (SL 20W50) 415.89
oil filter 657.02
spark plug 491.28
gasket 23.82
sand paper 18.00
brake cleaner 199.37
misc 122.45
----------
2,952.83
vat 354.34

total 3,307.17

sa totoo lang wala pong malasakit ang toyota mkt sa customer basta maperform nila yung change oil kahit ang daming nakalagay sa job order/specs nila, tapos na, di lahat ginagawa.yung sa may battery ko nga meron palang umido di nila ginalaw at ng itawag ko kay toti meruena yung SA dun di daw kasali yung paglilinis ng batterykaya nga ako nagpa preventive maintenance eh..ituturo pa ako sa labas na lang daw ipalinis kundi ba naman talagang nasa loob na ako ng casa ituturo pa ako sa labas...kaya sa susunod na check up ko sa iba na lang casa.....yung carpet replacement ko di ko na din kukunin yun.... kasi iiwan yung car doon for 1 day...wala na akong tiwala sa toyota mkt...bibili na lang ako kay MARFIN nung leather carpet na kinabit nya worth 2k lang naman.

HTH (hope this helps)...

Salamat po.

2300+ lang damage ko kasi top-up lang, fully synthetic ako pero dont forget to bring your excess 1li synthetic oil from previous PMS and tell the service advisor that you have it, otherwise may charge yun. Other services, included are tune-up, bolt tightening, changing of oil filter, cleaning of air filter, spark plug, general check up, body wash. Lahat ito di ko alam kung ginawa kasi iniwan ko lang si vanzy, haba pila eh.

May additional pala ako 785 pesos kasi pina engine detail ko, satisfied naman ako sa detailing nila.

**juanarodriguez** · June 4th, 2008 01:55 PM

*shadow361...salamat for the info sir! Ikaw yata yung nakita kong palabas ng TYTBK kahapon. Mag-ipon ka na ng pasensya at sa susunod nating pagkikita interview kita re. details ng PMS.

Thank you sa contact info.

Sir, pwede mag-request ng picture from the bottom para makita kung paano ikinabit sa chassis yung stepboard?

Saka tanong ko na rin kung naka-turnilyo ba yung roof rail o naka-clip on sa roof gutter... (Nasa PM rin ang mga tanong na ito, baka kasi hindi mo makita kung di ka maka-login agad)...

TIA!

according to my SA, Nippelac 587 and it should be available in most automotive paint shops. May dingy at paint chips din yung avanza namin sa bumper, idi-DIY ko sana pero haven't had time and also afraid.

**boknoytm** · June 4th, 2008 04:57 PM

*juanarodriguez, woohoo at shadow3616931

Salamat po sa reply. Nagbabackread na po ako, nabasa ko na rin yung mga kailangan icheck bago ilabas ng casa yung sasakyan. Magastos pala talaga yung maintenance.

Maganda po ba yung mga upgrade sa shark? mapagkakatiwalaan po ba mga products nila?

Balak po kc rin palagyan nun shark sports rail with smart rack or yung titanium roof caddy (alin po ba mas maganda sa 2), rear smart strut (with sensor po ba to?), saka yung bumper overider with chin, saka titanium stepboard.

Pero sabi ng father ko madali lang daw mananakaw yun kc naka screw lang sa or naka dikit. Totoo po ba yun?

Saka me nabasa rin ako na ipapa paint proof (tama po ba basta yung para daw di maalis yung kintab ng sasakyan)

salamat po... sensya na po ulit madaming tanong... hilong hilo na kc ako sa kakabackread eh...

thanks sir squeky. :D

**boknoytm** · June 4th, 2008 11:32 PM

mga sir at mam, me tanong pa rin po ako...

yun po kasing nakausap namin from Toyota Manila Bay walang nabanggit tungkol sa mga freebies nun nag inquire yung father ko. hindi rin naman po sya nagtanong kc di rin po nya alam na meron pala dapat, actually di ko rin alam nun una buti na lang nabasa ko dito sa forum.

ito lang po yung sa quotation nya...

Avanza 1.5G M/T

Sales price: 778,000
+ Insurance: 20,000
+ LTO registration: 7,500
- Discount na 60,000 pero kanina nakausap binaba sa 30,000 yung discount samantalang nun unang nakausap sabi na nya 60,000
* No freebies na nabanggit

san po ba pinakamaganda bumili ng unit? saka kung me contact na po kayo dun mas maganda para po mag papaquote po kami.

saka kung magpapakabit ba nun mga add-ons sa shark mismo (kasi mas mura dun) mavovoid yung warranty?

many thanks...

**_Qwerty_** · June 5th, 2008 08:13 AM

*Puroy - you can go to Toyota C5.. don ako nagpa retouch dati.. libre lang yun.. kaya lang.. kahit same color.. lutang pa rin sya.. hindi talaga kaparehong kapareho..

*Boknotym - as Jane said, magpa quote ka at least 3 to 4 dealers and compare.. yang promo yata na 30T eh for May.. di ko lang alam yung promo nila for June.. yang 20T na insurance medyo mahal pa yan for 1.5G manual.. also mahal din accessories sa shark.. kung wala namang electrical na tatamaan.. just go to Banawe or order ka na lang kay Marfin..
