Subaru Forester

[MR_BIG18]

I'm a bit confused about something. In the US.. there are no 2.0i-L.. it's mostly 2.5 liters.. in the following site:

OEM 2�14 Subaru Forester Parts and Accessories Online | Subaru of America

Their original Radiator only costs 15,000 pesos! Compare to the local price of 39,000! But they are all for the 2.5 L version.

Why is Philippines Forester only come in 2.0 L? What countries have this variant too so I can look for parts there.

Owning a Forester with spare parts from abroad at 3 times less price would remove all major reasons for owning a Forester.. which is availability of ok-cost parts..

Why there is no 2.0? Correct me if im wrong, i think its a matter of taxation, they tax the bigger displacement vehicles here differently. In the early 2000s, honda sticked with the 2.0 engine on their crv to compete with the revo, they even added rear seats. marketed it also as an AUV stay in the price range of their competitors, Btw, last time i chked there is no crv 2.0 in the states also.

About johhny air, i was planning to purchase a invidia CBE a few months ago, i called johhny air for a computation, cost around 20k to ship the thing, ill just wait for my mother in law to settle back here nxt year, one of their perks is they could bring all their stuff including the furniture, pets, etc, Papasabay ko nalang.

So what parts is different between the 2.0i-L and 2.5i-L variants? The local Subaro service said replacing a single headlight assembly would cost 95,000 pesos! So are there lists online where the parts difference sbetween the two variants can be seen so we know which part is compatible and which part is not. Does this mean we can't buy any 2.0i-L parts anywhere? (like Subaro put the 2.0 L only for Philippines market.. but they couldn't have designed and manufactured special parts just for Philippines production?

About Johnny air. last time I shipped a 40k cost telescope.. they charged me 16k shipping.. so for other sizes and items.. they are expensive too.

Kasi my CRV.. after 6 years.. sabay sabay nasira yung radiator, fan motor, radiator motor, suspension, aircon evaporators, lock actuators, etc. If I buy original lahat.. mag reach ng over 200K.

There are suppliers outside dealers that sell parts cheaper. Try Carpower at Taft Avennue. The parts that brokedown in your CR-V are mostly related (cooling system). Most likely, only one of them broke down. If the problem was not addressed immediately, it affected the other parts.

Im not in the position to answer your question on why subaru's price here is so expensive, i dont work for motorimage. On parts, i dont see too many differences with the parts(except the engine internals) just contact the manufacturer directly, like what i did to invidia, if you have any question regarding parts. You need to do a little research yourself.

If you don't want one, don't buy one. Stop whining and spell properly, its incredibly irritating to read.

Lol! When you really like a particular model, cost of repair and spare parts dont matter anymore.

Has anyone have any experience with People's General Insurance? Subaro told me People's delayed so much the payments to them that now they will only release repaired car when People's General issued a cheque to them.

My car loan company is only tied up to them.

Or do you think CASE based insurance is better? but I may lose up to 35K for it.. In People's General.. free first year but need to lock up for 2nd to 3rd year. Ano experience nyo sa insurance ng Forester nyo?

Stop feeding the troll. He probably doesn't have a Subaru Forester since he can't even spell it correctly. He can't even afford to properly maintain a 6-year old CR-V and then considers importing a radiator?

Why are you so rude? I just bought a Forester 2016 Facelifted model and just asking where to import parts since the ones at local Subaro dealer is so expensive.. if you don't want to share.. then don't!

My CR-V is 12 years old. Starting 6 years ago. All the parts started to break down and they quoted me from 50K to 150K repair many times. So with the Forester twice more expensive price, it may even be costly to maintain.

Anyway. Ok. I'll look elsewhere for other forums for the parts. And leave you rude people alone here.

As retz would gladly put it - good riddance!
