Budget Crossovers

[slapz]

wow, that made my decision for Haima a lot firmer, about 90% ulit.
but I will check the Soul, Carens, and SX4, just for comparative purposes.
Thanks you, Sir.

I would avoid any Chinese cars as of now. Sure it is value for money, but the cost of repairs and maintenance can offset the value and this does not include the resale value yet. But if you really like it then it's ok since we need more feedback from customers regarding quality of Chinese brands.

*slapz: Palagay ko ang kailangan mo na lang talaga eh yung magpapalakas ng loob mo para sa haima Subukan mo na sir para malaman din natin. go na yan, follow your heart!

[ZENMasterTYL]

oo nga, someone has to try and experience how reliable or otherwise chinese cars are

[slapz]

Baka ganun nga ang purpose ko sa mundong ito, maging guinea pig, and an essential piece to bring out the much needed push for Chinese Cars to prosper here in the Philippines.

Ayos ba?

Anyway, I am scheduled for another test drive tomorrow morning, pupuntahan naman ako sa bahay. Dalhin ko na dun sa lubak lubak, and my wife will be driving it also. So, who knows. Maybe.

Wag ka Masyado magpaniwala dito, Go! Buy na ng Haima 7, ive checked the pics sa net, ok naman pala taos Mazda engine pala.

Kung noon araw wala ng bumili ng Starex, Hyundai will not be in its position right now. Yun Starex noon, murang-mura 700K Lang sing presyo ng CRv 1st gen, pero mukang sulit kse malaki.

Mayroon ako Chinese Van na na binanbantayan ngaun, Madami na meron tapos may ng CRDi sa likod. Ano ba yun? Yun binanbantayan ko yun kse baka Stares Part 2.

Actually Chinese Cars are NOT BAD at all, some of my Chinese Friends in Shanghai are even more satisfied with the performance of the HAVAL H4 by Great Wall than the Honda CRV.

So why not give it a try...

Done with the 2nd test drive, off-road, as in dun sa dinadaanan ng mga 18wheeler trucks for quarry. All I can say, is wow. Even my wife is surprised, she's seating at the back with the baby. Matubig tubig nga doon eh, tapos lupa. So parang moon yung dinaanan, ganda pa din idrive. I was really surprised.

Oh by the way, the 'busted' light at the tail light? There's a rear fog lamp, and it's on just the left side, the same place on the right is where the reverse light is. So, para nga syang busted na kaagad yung isang tail light, but really, it's not, ganun talaga yung ilaw niya.

hay... I think I am sold. I don't see anything wrong with the car, aside from the fact that it is a new brand, and is made in china.

Great CUV, if it were a Toyo or Mitsu, it would probably be a best seller.

Yes it would be a good CUV if it's a Toyota or Mitsu but the thing is, not all people actually have a taste for these brands. Maybe we are all created with unique tastes and preferences and we'd rather be happy with our choices by following our hearts and not by being too practical and always being on the safe side.

Isipin mo sir naging practical ka at kumuha ka ng Toyota or Mitsu or other Jap brands pero pag may nakakasalubong kang Haima 7 eh nadudurog naman ang puso mo.. Hehehe.

Bw, wala na ring atang stock ang current gen ng Carens ngayon kasi ilalabas na rin yung bagong model (to be launched Sept 27 ata sa Paris autoshow). Pero its good sir na naging open ka sa mga choices mo. At least, sa huli, hindi ka magsisisi.

Go ka na sir. Masyado na nagiging stressful ang paghihintay

Kausapin mo lang mabuti ang casa re: pms issues.

Mahirap din reliability ng China made cars, baka mas matagal yan sa parkingan ng casa kaysa sa kalsada.

Ever tried driving a Chinese Car Sir? Or this is based on the experiences of others?

Sir in 2007 we split a P0.9M to two service vehicle, instead of buying a Nissan pick-up to replace an old L200, we bought a second hand L300 VV for 250k and a brand new Tiggo (Cherry) for 500k cash, a Fortuner look a like at that time, sent it to my father aqua farm. Never saw the Tiggo again, rust to death, no parts, not even 555 replacement parts, but the L300 VV is still running Hope your Haima 7 last longer than my Tiggo.

[yourman_2nd]

Go for it Sir. If your heart feels it. Just clear things with the dealer regarding the PMS. The cost of the PMS is attributable mainly to the parts like oil and filters. Ask them if they will allow you to bring your Oil and filters to minimize the PMS costs. If they will allow it without corkage and without voiding the warranty, then SOLD! Labor and minor suppleis na lang babayaran mo sa kanila, which i believe will not be more expensive than KIA's or Honda's.

Pictures sir ng interior and review as soon as you get hold of it. Congrats Sir. I will never forget the Wonderful feeling everytime one drives a brand new unit from the CASA, that brand new car smell, that brand new car drive, the looks you get from other people..I'm sure you'll have a very wide grin on your face from the CASA to your house..:naughty2:

[slapz]

Ano ba yan, pataas na pa naman din ang mga stocks ko. ahaha! But I have to pull the other out, for the downpayment.

Anyway, Boss Hanren, that is really a good point. It's like settling for someone else's opinion, tapos kapag nakikita mo nga yung gusto mo eh, napapailing kana lang. ahaha! Thank you, Sir.

Boss yourman_2nd, PMS, hindi pwede ang sariling oil, but still, every 5K naman sya, and that's about 6 months na sa akin, average ko yan with my current car. Pwede naman Semi or Fully Synthetic. They just follow some strict guidelines. Well, I have to follow, important din kasi warranty.

Sa BPI 20% DP, 13.6K Monthly. Free Insurance and LTO.

Just waiting for the bank, nag-apply ako kahapon. Baka may decision na later or tomorrow.

Nice. Congrats decided ka na :D

[dfopiso]

marami-rami na ba casa ng Haima para sa PMS?

[slapz]

Nice. Congrats decided ka na :D

Well, about 95% sure, kasi nanghihinayang pa din ako sa pera, umiiral na naman pagiging accountant ko. ahaha!

marami-rami na ba casa ng Haima para sa PMS?

6 sa pagkaalam ko ngayon, but malapit kasi ako dun sa Haima Dau, so not really a problem.

[dfopiso]
