Toyota Innova Owners & Discussions [ARCHIVED]

[Engkanto]

Hi,

How things are guys, saw your EB pixs and that was cool. My Mom got her new toy a week back, Innova-E A/T. Looks impressive relative to its price. This thread is very informative, rock on Innova Club.

Cheers,

Hello folks. My first post here. I've scanned all 300++ pages of this thread and it has helped a lot in educating me about the Innova. BTW, It took me more than 3 days to scan.

So, we're looking to get one very soon. Went to Toyota Marikina yesterday and this was their offer:
Unit: Innova J Gas M/T
Unit price: 763,000
Discount: 40,000
Insurance: 22,000
LTO: 7,500
Freebies: Mudguards in place of the free tint, seat cover, undercoating, the usual, pero naubusan ng payong

My wife knows one of the managers. I'm not sure if that helped in the discount. Humihirit pa kami, sasabihin daw mamya kung pede pa increase.

They told us that we can already pay for the unit but still be able to ask for a replacement if it doesn't satisfy us upon inspection (i.e. defects). As long as we don't "receive" the car yet. My first question is, is this the same as what some of you guys suggested to not pay for the unit until we check and double check and are very satisfied?

Kasi daw, they need us to pay the day before we see the unit, nasa Cubao pa yung car. I dunno, i think that's their SOP. Pero guaranteed daw na we can demand for another unit as long as di pa namin ni receive yung car.

My other problem is that I am seriously considering the Innova E Gas which is already available! Nga lang, I don't have the extra 100K. I think they can finance the missing 100K, kaso madami kaming gastusin, pahirapan pa rin to save for the monthly amortization (8k++). Although since bonuses sa office are coming up, that would provide some breathing room.

On the other hand, mas sulit I think ang E kasi meron na:
1. Driver airbag
2. Rear wiper
3. More color choices: + light green and flaxen, - white
4. Better wheels
5. Power windows and locks, etc etc

If I get these aftermarket later on, tingin ko hindi rin kalayuan sa 100K. If you have any advice for me, I would really appreciate it. I'm very undecided as of now.

Tapos, in dollar pa pera namin hehe, problema pa yung pag depreciate ng peso these days. TIA!

if you have the extra cash go for the E variant. less hassle magpakabit ng mga aftermarket accessories na standard naman sa higher variants. plus hindi pa mavoid ang warranty mo sa electricals.

Weigh your options first, do you really need the amenities in the E variant?

1. Driver side airbag
2. ABS (Anti-lock brakes)
3. Rear window wiper
4. Centralized locking
5. Power window
6. Child lock protector
7. Mag wheels
8. Additional color: light green & flaxen (J-blaze, silver & white)

My wife and I got the E because we decided on the color light green. So everything elses that is included came as a plus for us.

*bogartski

Its good you are considering the Innova as your ride to be.
Getting the E variant would be a better choice considering the added features vs the J. However, if for one reason or another you settle for the latter, it is still a great ride.
The freebies are ok but don't limit your sourcing to one dealer. You can try other dealers baka they might have other options.

My two cents...

Hi Ma'am Liv, sure po! db sa makati ka work? san po kayo sa makati? malapit po kayo sa Greenbelt 1? if you want lets meet tomorow po.. u can txt me at 09209032633. Tnx

guys... nabasa nyo na ba yung thread dun sa nasunog na Innova sa Baler/Frisco area? medyo sketchy pa yung report, pero very alarming ito. pangalawa na tong nasunog... remember yung kay Dudut? sana hindi ito design flaw ng Innova.

Hi Liv, I saw the thread. Marami pa rin kasing factors. It can be a design flaw or may ginalaw na sa electrical. Eto ang maganda na may club. If design flaw man, the club can demand for recall and replace the necessary parts free of charge. Pwedeng supportahan din yung owner if proven na talagang fault ng car manufacturer. What do you think?

I am a new owner of an Innova E-D4D A/T variant, I found this thread very informative, would it be alright to you guys if I join this club?

sir if you can afford go to E variant those added feature will give you less worry if you intend to have it installed at the aftermarket + the aftermarket warranty can't match the casa can give also try to haggle the foglamp very functional in night driving and let the casa installed it...there are posted regarding faulty wires that creates fire...good luck!...

Go for the E-variant Dude, Me I had a blunder. I stick my mind on getting a E-D4D variant whereas I could have taken a G-M/T Gas unit. Could have been cheaper by 19K had I opted for G Variant with full options and very nice interior. Now I'm having sleepless night and too scared to go any where near to a G unit. But not on J, lol.

But on the other hand (you got different sets of fingers), additional 100K are tons of accessories that will give your J ride a totally different look from those Innovas out on the street. You can change your mags, tires, put on a wrap around skirt, change your seat cover and many things except though for rear wiper.

you're right... it can be due to electricals kung ginalaw nga pero sabe kase, it was in and out of the casa na. pwedeng lemon yung unit from the start pa lang.

...pero hindi naman nabaggit dun, na tunkol sa electrical yung paglalabas masok nya ng casa, tama ba ako?

me mga modification pa naman ako sa wiring, pero lahat naman yun gawa sa auto shop, palagay ko marunong naman sila, mahirap din kasing mag kakalikot, lalo na electrical
