**cnxpr08** · February 25th, 2012 03:41 PM

kakapagod maghanap ng 2ndhand suv w/quality and reability this time that is why im asking for your personal experience and honest opinion on choosing the right suv for me.

btw the most impt. thing that i consider in a suv is the ff.

car capacity(ofcourse 7seater)
low maintenance cost
durability and fuel efficiency
engine power(i'm tired of driving underpowered engine such as ISUZU XWIND SPORTIVO TURBO 2.5 engine)

I don't care sa looks ang impt. is
malakas humataw kaya kahit 8-9pax w/luggage pa :D
and the MOST IMPORTANT talaga is murang pms at tibay cause i want this car to be a real suv
pangharabas,matipid at maangas kahit pangit ang looks.
eka nga ng mga matatanda
its not only in the OUTside,
ITS MORE IN THE INSIDE. :D

8-9 pax w/ luggage capacity for 500k?

You're looking at a late 1990s van.

Starex or hiace. Pili ka nalang.

add more and you can get the First Gen Ford Everest.

add more and you can get the First Gen Ford Everest. Or pwede din Nissan Terrano kaso it won't be more powerful than your crosswind. Kung di kaya magdagdag, then turn your eyes on the surplus market. 1st gen Santa Fe, Toyota Hilux Surf, etc.

I believe even the 2005 everest, huwag lang yun with altitude special model, may makukuha kang 500k now. For me ito yun best buy

With some haggling you can get a 2004 Starex GRX CRDi M/T (A/T's are a lot less fuel efficient and somewhat slower). Ayun. Napakalakas humataw (145hp, 360Nm) and has lots of space for 10 passengers, very comfortable to boot. Same case with the Ford Everest 1st gen. Get the manual only, its got lots of space, though it is nowhere as fast as the Starex GRX and nowhere as comfortable too. Old school engine should be more economical maintenance-wise though.

Saw a grey market (from Hancars) 2004 Hyundai Starex GRX CRDi A/T in sul!t. Ang baba ng mileage almost 45,000kms palang.

The owner is selling the Starex for 599K only.

Toyota Hilux Surf or a Land Cruiser 90-series (Prado) would be good options to consider.

Parang hindi kaya yung LC80 kung diesel. Gas, may papasok malamang sa budget. Pero seryoso ba na bibili ka ng LC80 na de gasolina? :hysterical:

thank you all for your suggestions.

matibay ba kaha ng starex 04-07?
maganda kasi sana kung m/t yung available sa sulit,
mostly a/t yung for sale maxado magastos sa maintenance yung a/t diba?
yung ford 1st gen maganda sana kaso malakas daw kumain ng gasolina/diesel.
right now i'm very confuse.
