Inputs on Gen 1 Pajero

[zanch]

guys i want to know your inputs/ feedbacks on the gen 1 pajero (box type). I plan to sell my car and get a Gen 1 pajero. Na realize ko with our road conditions it's better to get a SUV na lang. I saw this for sale na black gen 1 pajero sa white plains with snorkel. Ganda! di ko nakukuha number pero one of these days. Any safety features here? airbags? side impact beams? kung matagtag? pang family na din kasi. And how fast and what usually are the problems or parts that needs to be look at in a Paj. Thansk in advance!

The Pajero is a mid-80's truck. It does not have any fancy high tech features like ABS, Airbags, EBD, etc. It does have seatblelts for all passengers.

Speed would depend on the engine. Our GEN I was a non-turbo model and would top out at 100 kph. Turbo models should go a bit faster. I really did not find it matagtag. Siguro somewhere between a sedan and a pick-up truck.

Wala namang problem areas talaga. Minsan mausok lang. Kailangan regular ang maintenance (change oil every 5 thou kms, etc.). Our Pajero was very tough. You just sort of get in and drive without thinking so much of anything that might go wrong.

At very versatile siya. Kahit maghapon naghahakot sa farm, sa gabi pwedeng diretso sa hotel for dinner. :D Pwede ding pang-attend ng kasal (favorite line ni kimpOy yan). hehehehe.

Zanch,

Nakikita ko din yan naka display.....shiny black...check it out...looks to clean at mukhang hindi ino-off road.....Better bring a mechanic who knows diesel and 4WD.

Used to drive an OPEL ASTRA....then i bought a Gen1 Subic PAJ (Gusto ko kasi A/T).....di na ko nag kotse......Been to so many places like SAGADA....never dare bring a car there with the road conditions pero yung PAJ was a delight.

Gusto ko din ipalit yan sa 96 L200 ko (pinangarap ko dati ang pajero ni afrasay). The problem is hindi ko ma-convince ang dad ko coz he thinks its an old truck.

IMO, ok ang pajero, very basic truck. Tama si Otep, wala ng electronic hi-tech na ka charingan. AKo kasi, the more basic the vehicle is, the less problems it will give the owner...the more easier to maintain and cheaper to repair.

Thanks a lot guys!:D

frt >>> ganda dude nuh! mukhang makinis pa and yung tires maayos pa. may snorkel pa!:D I really wanna experience off roading thas why i wanna get an SUV. Tama lang kasi price if ever binenta ko auto ko for a gen 1 paj.:D

otep:::100 lang? yun sakin 140 di pa sagad yun
zanch:::good luck on your purchase. very reliable vehicle yan. dyan ako natuto mag offroad with these guys. limitations are no diff lock, leaf springs [local], no center locking. i would suggest that you get a non-subic model and save yourself from headache later. biggest tire that you can fit without lifting is 31".

very good SUV, pinakayaw ko lang is single aicon. init sa likod. pero gwapo body. get the turbo lkagaya kay sheep.

[zanch]

thanks guys!:D wish me luck!:D magagalit mga kagroup ko pag nalaman nila binebenta ko auo ko. hehehe any price guide guys? for the models para alam ko di ako tinataga.

[frt]

Zanch sa BuyandSellph.com from 250 to 350k ...pero yon nasa White Plains mukhang on the high side yan....

PSG afrasay,

Blow-by na yung samin. :D 0-100 kph takes a day and half. hehehehe.

Pero para siyang Timex: "Takes a beating, keeps on ticking."

A no complain- ride and drive- never breaks down- never out of style- type of a vehicle. Mine is a turbo with a top speed of 130 kph (pero feel ko kaya pa eh).

Sabi nga nila: A Pajero is a Pajero is a Pajero.

If you're looking for one, PM me.

we had a 93 gen 1 pajero turbo. Nice truck. goes up tp 135 kph brand new. when it was sold with 175tkm its top speed was 130kph na lang. The Pajero turbo models never felt slow. its steering and handing was precise for an SUV. I liked driving it over our gen 2.5.
Its boxy design make you feel tough and macho when u drive it.
Its ride is medyo matigas similar to a revo. The front seats can be remedied by adjusting its under seat suspension to match your weight. Another remedy is highway biased tires.

Engine is prone to usok unless you have it calibrated every 50,000 km more or less.

Glass windshield seals should be inspected for leaks just to be sure its free from factory problems.

Over all its a great truck.very tough, good to drive, easy to repair. and very reliable. We kept it til the mileage was 175t.

sold ours 2 years ago for 375t

Old thread but gusto ko lang mag add hehe.

I have a Gen 1 Pajero, 3 door, locally assembled. Lahat ng sinabi sa thread na 'to about a Pajero is true. Gusto ko sa kanya macho tignan, lalo na pag walang bumpers, mukhang maliit na hummer.

Sa kin nga lang gas engine kaya medyo masakit sa bulsa. But all in all, I love this rig.

para sakin classic po ang gen1...

never na malalaos.. specially sa pilipinas
do you remember nung late 80s early 90s..??

everyone was pajero crazy...hehe naaalala ko padi pedicab and tricycles.. had pajero letterings... dami panga noon parehos..

kris had a pajero robin padilla also had one.. status symbol sobra ito during those times...

hindi naman gen2 or gen3 ang nagpasikat sa pajero... it was the gen1..

pros:
very nice po to be used to the office.. or outing.. laki ng cargo space...
can seat 7 comfortably.. all facing front..
hindi kana mamromroblema pag malakas ang ulan at kakabahan sa baha..
madali ang piyesa..
tried and tested na ang makina.. mapa n/a or turbo

cons:
makalampag..
pag mainit panahon.. hindi kaya ng aircon.. hindi pa po ito dual aircon eh..

goodluck po sir.. sa pagpili ng inyong new rig
