Toyota Avanza Owners & Discussions [ARCHIVED]

[dfcsantos]

Pre,

Since we got our unit on the same period(sometime at the end of December-i got my unit Dec. 23) and we even have the same model if i remember right...kaya lang champagne ang sa iyo then red mica ang sa akin...my question is nakuha mo na ba plaka mo? and with the sticker na ba?

Text sa akin ng wife ko kanina na ready for pick-up na daw ang plaka ko pero wala pa daw sticker.....

And mga tsikoteers...ok lang ba na ipakabit ang plaka kahit wala pang sticker?...parang takaw mata sa traffic enforcer pag ganito di ba?

I also got my plate but no sticker yet, but my dealer gave me a letter from LTO that the sticker for 2007-2009 registration is not yet available. When I was driving a car ending in #1, I use to register it end of December dahil maluwag sa LTO. Minsan February ko na nakukuha ang sticker. As long as you have the official receipt, you will not have any problem.

mga master tsikoteersss.. i called toyota cubao wala daw available na white avanza as per SA on shipment palang daw ung first batch ng mga nagpareserve..wondering why?!?,,? from another forum naman naka hold daw ang white avanza due to LTFRB ruling

Avanta peeps,
Baka naman puede mag post ng actual figures kung magkano ang cash out nyo. Mag cocompute lang po para makita kung pasok sa budget. Thru bank financing sana ang balak ko eh.

TIA

[pablo_neruda]

Eto sakin:
unit price

582,000.00
dp rate35%
dp amount 203,700.00 one month advance 8,693.96 comprehensive insurance 15,400.45 LTO 3 years 6,500.00 rust proofing (free)chattel 10,601.00 CASH OUTLAY - jan 07 244,895.41

monthly amortization (interest *37.89%)
8,693.96

I suggest you do a canvass first among prospective banks and get the one which offers not only good perks but first and foremost, the lowest lending rate. Talk to the manager, s/he can give you a lower rate especially kung may account/s ka na sa bank na yun.
Ako, sa PSBANK, kumuha. Ang alam ko, lower pa sa bpi, kung valued client ka.

I got my red avanza 1.3 last dec.2 from toyota makati...and up to now i have no plate...from the promised max. 3 weeks release ng plate, eto mag 2 months na wala pa..pag kinulit mo ang makati they would always say "by next week lalabas na yung plate"..and lately iba na alibi nila "lagi kc off-line LTO eh"...grabe talaga..nakaka dis appoint..kaya ka nga bumili ng unit para gamitin pero hindi mo magawa dahil lagi ka may fear na masita..esp. dito sa pasay lagi gutom yung mga naka chokolate na jacket..almost every corner meron.


ka-ingit naman yung payment terms na nakuha mo...sakin parang harang yata ah...
i paid 50% in cash (P292,500)
other 50% financing thru BDO (recommended ng agent)...my monthy is P10,693 for 3 years.
insurance- P25K
CMO-14K
FRee: seat cover; mats; tint and rust proof

[pablo_neruda]

Felton,

Don't be too hard on yourself. In general, the higher the downpayment, the better. If i could afford it, i would have paid a higher downp as well. Though it appears na mataas yung monthly amort mo, 3 years ka lang naman. Mine is a bit cheaper kasi, 5years to pay. The usual case is, the longer it takes to finish paying the loan, the higher the interest payments incurred.

Offhand, tingnan mo na lang ung total interest payments at the end of three years (i.e., total payments made at the end of loan less unit price):

= (292,300 + 10,693 x 12 x 3) - 582,000 = 95,248; ako pre, around 141k.

lumalabas, masmalaki pa rin ang babayaran ko sa bangko on top of the unit price. medyo lamang lang ako sayo sa insurance at chattel. same freebies din.

[Felton]

kung sa bagay, ur right in 3 years tapos na ko.. at least cheap ung nakuha mo insurance and CMO. When did u get ur unit? me plaka ka na?

btw, im a she

[a4Tech]

Kumusta naman po ang interior ng Avanza J?

I know na medyo bare sya pero is it more acceptable compared to the interiors of old FX taxi?

I think Makati is the worst place for an unregistered car. Although they will consider kung meron kang ipapakitang invoice. They allow you to use the car for 7 days from date of purchase/delivery. So magagamit mo pa rin yun but just the hassle kung maharang ka ng mga traffic enforcer. I saw 3 cars with no plates being apprehended by mapsa near makati-pasay boundary along buendia. i was just lucky enough since i was in the opposite lane at busy yung mga mapsa sa sinita nila.

Pwede mo pa rin ikabit yung set-up mo but be ready to sacrifice the last seat row since yun lang ang space na pwede ilagay yung mga equipments mo.
Please be inform also that warranty on electrical parts will be void if you install such (as far as i know). Medyo sayang din naman kung magbubutas ka eh bago pa yung sasakyan mo. If you change the mags, baka ma-void din yung warranty sa gears,suspension or anything connected to it. Anyway, you can put back naman yung original rim kung me mangyari to claim for the warranty.

Just ask sa SA mo kung pwede mag-change order ka. Di kasi ako sigurado sa ganitong scenario eh. Nung nagpa-reserve yung wife ko for the avanza, sabi ng SA namin eh refundable naman daw. So baka pwede siguro.

If you have the budget, go for the 1.5G. Wala ka ng masyadong gagalawin pa dun. Base on the FC of the avanza users in the forum, it shows na medyo matipid yung 1.5G kesa 1.3 or pareho lang the most. Yung price difference naman will compensate on the added accessories such as 15" Alloy wheels, Power windows, keyless power lock, power side mirror, mudguards, defogger, fog lamps, MP3 tuner, Airbag, rear spoiler, door pockets, seat back pockets and bigger engine.

ooops, sorry about that. thought you were a he, hehe!. :showoff: anyway, wala pa un unit sakin although nasubmit un loan application ko last week of dec. i heeded my bank agent's advice to process it around that time to get higher resale value (kasi nga mareregister un ng 2007). see my earlier posts on this...

Just talked to the sales agent yesterday and mukhang pinakamabagal talaga ang pila sa silver (for the J variant). unfortunately for me, i won't settle for anything other than that. mukhang aabutin pa ko ng feb. at kung magkaganun nga. baka plaka ko, sa abril ko pa makuha. huwag naman sana...

[ownertype]

I thought di pinayagan ng LTFRB na maging taxi ang Avanza. I saw one sa may Sucat. Kulay puti.

[carlocaraddict]

alam ko yung white pang taxi talaga.

*ownertype, nakuha mo na Avanza mo?

Huh? Di mo pa nakuha plate mo? Yung sa akin Dec. 5 ko kinuha yung sasakyan then Dec. 14 nakuha ko na plate ko. My SA said na 2 weeks yung plate kaya nagulat ako nung tinawagan ako nung SA ko after 9 days and pwede ko na daw kunin yung plate ko.

Sino ba SA mo? Mine is ruth.
