Welcome to all owners of Toyota Fortuner [ARCHIVED]

[vicoyski]

yung casa ng toyota nag-carnap nun, benta nila ulit! haba na kasi ng pila ng fortuner buyers e ehehehehe!

Malamang Toyota QA nagpa-dampot nung unit... S'ya ang nearest sa Scout area eh.

:bwahaha: :bwahaha:

But, seriously, mahihirapan lang yung bibili nung unit sa probinsya. He won't be able to have it serviced legitimately in any provincial dealer, 'coz pag "hot" car yan, naka-timbre din yan sa dealers. Where is he gonna buy replaceable spare parts like filters, eh, wala pang surplus parts available for a launch vehicle?

Most likely, the unit will be used for robbing banks and doing illegal stuff. Afterwhich, the perps will just ditch the vehicle...

The problem is they might use it as guinea pig, to study on how to open the SUV for future carnapping plan. tsk tsk tsk

[cardo]

oh man!!! malas naman nya... The other bad news about it is that, he has to get inline again for a new unit(if he opts for a fortuner again and once insurance clears the stolen car)... and we know how loooonnngggg the line is... I emphatize with the owner

Oo nga! That does suck, big time!

Tama si martian. They'll just rip it apart and study the whole security system. Even parts that can be very expensive in the near future (sa casa) since this is an imported car.

So, what do you suggest? Sell na lang our Fortuners and get the Isuzu Alterra instead?

Any car model will eventually get carnapped. That's why we should all be wary of where we go and where we bring our precious babies. It will definitely hurt a lot when you lose something that you got from your hard earned money.

hmmm, yung fortuner na nacarnap malamang baka nasa mindanao na ito and at this "place" where its public knowledge where a lot of carnapped vehicles end up in. malamang kasama na yung sa mga patrols, land cruisers, prados and what have you. as for servicing, walang problema doon.

however, i really hope they recover the vehicle

kahit kaninong sasakyan at ano pang klaseng sasakyan yan, we sympathize with all the victims

siyempre naman hindi naman sasabihin nung seller na nakaw...problema na ng bibili niyan... yung mga nakaw na cellphone ba naka-advertise na "stolen/snatched cellphones for sale".. or kahit sa classifieds ng kotse "05 fortuner stolen fresh!"...?

i'm planning to sell my trooper & get a fortuner.
i'm still thinking whether to get the gas or diesel variant.
i'm also wondering of the advantage/diadvantage of fortuner compared to my trooper.

sana ang nakarera ni vicoyski ay trooper instead of alterra...

[oldblue]

kung yun nangangarnap may connection sa LTO saka sa isang Toyota branch, malamang lusot na yun gagamit nun for the meantime. e-enjoyin nya
yun fortuner with a bogus plate.

hirap talaga pag hot item. tsk tsk ... kawawa naman yun inagawan, sinaktan din ba?

Don't sell your trooper, I test drove my friend's fortuner and medyo matagtag sya and hindi comfortable ang seats. Yun nga lang mas maganda porma ng fortuner kasi bago pero maganda naman porma ng trooper eh.

Hi Guys,
Nakapila din ako since May 16 so Toyota makati. My reserved unit is 2.7 Gas Grayish Brown. According to my agent, I am 6th in line for this color. Based on the list, I am the only one who wants this color. Dapat mas mabilis ko makuha ang unit ko (wishfull thinking). Can't wait.

Anybody here opted for the leatherette seatcovers? Exactly how much does the dealer sell it anyway. I was quoted 13k at Cubao but my colleague got it for 10k at Manila Bay. Anywhere we can get it outside with the exact same fit as those sold in the dealerships?

Also has anyone been able to secure a quote from Kelseats to have the Fortuner reupholstered in leather? My dealer is quoting me 100k!

[vicoyski]

The leatherette seatcovers costs P12.5K at my dealer.

If you plan to have your seats re-upholstered, go straight to KelSeat. Malaki ang patong ng dealers, despite the fact that they get discounts from KelSeat.

The prices, as quoted to me by Kelseat for the Fortuner:
Leather/vinyl combo - P37.5K
Full leather - P60K

sir saan sa cubao yan? sa may autocentro ba (seat pro yata yun). nung tinanong ko kasi sila about a month ago, 9k yung seat cover. para na rin siyang re-upholstered seat kasi lapat na lapat sa seat. nagtaas na rin sila presyo?

Thanks. Imagine the difference in price quoted! I just hope that Kelseats has not adjusted its price. Maybe I'll wait a little longer...

Actually, I meant Toyota Cubao. I can understand that they would want to make some money but 100k vs 60k!!! (assuming they quoted me full leather) is just plain highway robbery!!!
