To Sell or not to sell 2010 Isuzu Sportivo and buy 90s Pajero/Land Cruiser

**obet_carlos** · July 15th, 2015 04:26 PM

Good day,

I'm contemplating on selling my 2010 Isuzu Sportivo with 1 more year sa financing (1st owner mom ko pero refinanced ko kasi naremata) to buy a 90s Pajero or Land Cruiser. 19k a month siya. Super tatag nung sportivo, tipid pa sa diesel. Very versatile din. At tipid sa maintenance. On the otherhand, mahilig ako sa itsura ng medyo old SUVs kaya gusto ko yung LC70 at 1st gen pajero. Yung styling ng sportivo is very old lalo na yung inside niya.

Reason for thinking of selling is financial. We are getting by, pero mabigat yung 19k a month. I would like to get your thoughts. Thanks.

If reason for selling is financial ... keep the Isuzu for the ff: reasons.

1. You won't get a lot for your old car. 2nd hand na e.

2. And ~1990 LC70/80s are selling for a lot pa, and may already be needing some suspension repair. The Pajero boxtypes are getting old as well. Pati Fieldmaster malapit na mag 15 years.

Off topic: Do a test drive next time hehe ;)

Let's see. There's currently an LC70 going on sale on olx for around 200-250K, but with a last registration of 2013. Looks neglected.

Pass nalang. You'll probably have to fix up the whole thing, engine/drivetrain, suspension.

The cheapest original LHD LC80s are going for 1m+ pa... =/

Mas mahal ang spare parts nung tinatarget mo na kapalit ng sportivo mo bro.

Sample, Price ng isang pirasong tire ng malaking suv makakabili ka na ng dalawa para sa unit mo.

Since ang reason mo is financial, do some more research pa sa magiging running expenses mo sa ipapalit mo. Baka maging money pit pa yung balak mo ipalit at dun lang ma offset sa repairs

Keep it, 1 year na lang. Mas matipid pa yan. After fully paid na yan, then maybe you can buy even a 2nd gen Pajero if that is what you really like.

i'd keep the sportivo...... reliable pa yan and tatagal pa yan ng sampung taon. and its only a 5 year old vehicle.....
yung 90s model na iniisip mo, madami ka ng ipapagawa dyan.

Solid naman yang Sportivo, will last you another decade. Kung alangan kayo sa monthly, sa unnecessary expenses na lang magbawas (gala, movies, eating out) tutal one year to pay na lang. Yung old school Pajero/LC sasakit lang ulo mo sa maintenance at hindi na rin recommended gamitin na daily driver.

thank you mga sirs! mukhang i keep ko na lang to.. and a big part of this ay dahil sa mga reply niyo.. ano ang best maintenance para sa sportivo? changeoil pa lang ako.. actually d pa nga ako nagpapalit ng gulong eh.. baka magpalit ako pagkatapos ng financing nito.. makapal pa naman at madalas ako lang sakay.. or 2 lang kami..

alagaan mo lang sa change oil and tune-up.
tapos pag may naramdaman ka dun mo na lang ipaayos.
