the usual cathay centers in evangelista and banawe.
also, paminsan-minsan ay may lumalabas sa online sellers like olx.

Hi Sirs,

pasingin naman.
Was about to choose the civic, pero kapos sa budget.
So sa Altis ako punta, so sana i-ask ko mga to..
Hopefully may mga sumagot. kahit ano sa mga questions, based on experience.

Toyota Corolla Altis 1.6 G MT

Sana realtalk :D

1. Kapag bibili po, much better po ba na inhouse installation payment or car loan sa bank? Best dealer po na closest sa taguig?
2. Usually ilang days bago makuha yung car if done downpayment?
3. Sa Corolla Altis 1.6 G MT, ano po yung mga tipong brand new defects? Meron po ba?
Ano po yung mga dapat icheck para masure na hindi 'lemon' unit yung kukunin ko?
4. Meron po bang nagpapark ng Corolla Altis 1.6 G MT nila under the sun most of the time? ano po mga effects?
Open parking lang kasi ako. pipilitin na isilong, pero most of the time, open parking talaga. babad sa araw.
5. Ano pong mga ayaw niyo sa Toyota Corolla Altis 1.6 G MT? #realtalk sana. walang bias. wala naman atang perfect car.

thanks in advance guys

1. get written quotations from them, analyze the numbers, and decide which gives the better deal.
2. if the car is a hot item, or you have certain requirements (color!), baka umabot nang several months. if the car is already in the casa, they can hand it over to you in a few hours. give a few hours more, if the car has to be cleaned first. ask your sales agent, po. they have a good idea of how fast the car can be handed over.
3. none readily comes to mind. but there are too many possibilities. you can go over the car with a fine tooth comb, and still miss something. i suppose that is what the warranty is for... for defects not immediately apparent upon hand-over.
4. your paint loses its luster. your upholstery and dashboard, likewise, may suffer from premature ageing.
5. yung pagka-MT. heh heh.

good luck.

that would depend, on whether it is still fix-able. it will cost a pretty penny if it has to be replaced. these guys know just how expensive a new assembly is, so they ask a small finger for that little piece that they cannibalized from somewhere...
sometimes, the problem is in the wiring, as in, na-putol, and not the mechanism.

last time i had a power lock fixed, it cost me 1.5 K. the guy replaced the electric motor with a surplus unit.

thanks doc,a friend told me na baka fuse lang daw siya since walang sound ng movement talaga, i told him wala akong alam sa electronics di ko din siya maintindihan,kaya nag ask ako sa mga experts sa tsikot hehehe...

with my 10.5 Gen Altis (2012). Di naman ako umaabot ng ganyang amount in PMS. If I may recall ang medyo malaki lang ay 20K Km can't recall the exact amount. I'm nearing 40K KM, I just don't know kung magkano abutin sa casa. I usually go to Toyota Pasong Tamo for my PMS.
