Lumang SUV - What to buy

cocoy02

Hi Sirs,

Magandang araw. I am planning on buying a second hand SUV, kaso medyo tight yung budget. I know some will suggest na ipunin na lang muna pero mahirap kasi alang sasakyan dito samin and inde rin advisable ang sedan kasi medyo loaded mga sasakay. Ano po ba pede mabili sa mga worth 300K na budget?

May mga nakita ako na CRV 1st gen, Tribute, X-Trail, and Escape. Meron din Sport runner na REVO and Adventure. Ano po ba the best based on fuel consumption, maintenance, and iba pang factors.

Sensya na po dami ko tanong. La kasi ko gaanong alam sa mga sasakyan so I'm hoping somebody from this thread can help. Thanks ng madami.

With your budget and needs, you are better off with an AUV. Revo or Adventure, you can't go wrong with both. Parts are readily available. Just go for the diesel version.

You are in the price range of the old vitara. But if you had 50k more you can opt for the better 1st gen sorento. I'd prefer the sorento because it has 4wd on the fly and I was a previous owner and was quite satisfied with it.. very grunty and could leave the likes of alterra and even the 3.0L fortuner(which I also own).

mahirap ang 300K sa SUV, kahit pa luma yan, baka meron nga pero super laspag na yan kaya ganyan ang value.

how about an adventure?

I agree with what's been suggested. An AUV would fit your budget and provide you with more space and higher ground clearance. Parts are plentiful for the adventure, revo and crosswind and the technology used in them is such that most tree shade mechanics would know how to get them running again easily.

^correct.

just bring a good and trusted mechanic to assess the car first, para hindi ka talo.

What do you consider as a gas guzzler? I only have experience with the 2nd generation and the latest one. The 2nd generation we had was roughly 7km/l. The 4th generation we have is almost 10km/l so fuel efficiency has greatly improved as well as the pulling power.

1st gen and 3rd gen are the fuel efficient. The 2nd gen gets about 6-7km daw. Whereas the 1st gen can do 8-9 city.
