^I think the BRV is a higher level of Mobilio and will be same price range as the Fortuner or Innova. Hindi yata ka level ng Avanza. hehehe

3. Don't rely on the income from renting the vehicle or using the vehicle as Uber, to fully pay the amortization and service needs of the vehicle;
4. Include the cost of insurance and service in your vehicle overhead (get comprehensive insurance, no need for that 50K PHP GPS tracker... unless you want to keep track of your partner, that is).
5. Freebies? Try going to another dealer as well to compare. Usually it's 3M tint, matting, seat covers, maybe fog lamps and new horn and some other accessories. I personally don't care about freebies and would always opt for maximum cash discounts.
1. I like the Mobilio a lot, pero hindi ko need kasi flashy car for now. I'm going back to Honda later and will check kung how does it feel to fit 3 adults at the 3rd row. I need comfort sitting for adults at the back row.

3. I'm getting the car to start a business but Uber/Grab is just for the meantime. mag umpisa pa lang yun tourist business kaya hindi lagi meron turista. Also, I won't be renting my car to local Filipinos. Lugi Negosyo! Reason is marami news na carnapper pala yun nag rent sayo. Purely tourist lang yun kinukuha ko. Either Chinese or Korean kasi yun ang market ko. I'm Chekwa and my parents are from China, kaya dun sa China lang advertise yun business ko..hindi dito. With thousands of tourists coming here, just getting the 0.001% to ride my car is already money making business. hehehehe...
Plus, ako yun tourist guide. I will be introducing the Manila landmarks to them in Mandarin and Cantonese. nag practice na nga ako mga Chinese lines ko sa mga landmarks in Manila. hahaha

4. The GPS tracker is for my peace of mind. Hindi po yan para bantayan bf ko. hehehe.. meron kasi ako friend na kapit bahay nya nawala yun newly bought vehicle sa Q.C. Bumili lang sya sa convenience store, pag balik nya sa parking lot, wala na kotse nya. It's a Fortuner and 4 months old pa lang I don't know what will happen if pwede ma claim ba eto sa insurance or what? if I have a GPS tracker, I can report the stolen car and catch the thief via GPS tracker, maybe it will lessen the headache of doing paperwork with the insurance company.
