Would you trade your revo for a safari?

[speed unlimited]

If your revo still in good shape and no headache better keep it.

Thank you sa mga nagreply. laking tulong po sa decision making.

plano ko ibenta ang revo at kunin ang safari at P250k. nasa 1995-97 yung model ng safari. nakalimutan ko lang kung 95,96, or 97 model.
wala namang problema sa akin yung kalakihan ng safari sir blue_gambit kasi i also drive a pajero FM and 91 patrol pag nandito ako sa bohol. parang gusto ko lang kunin yung safari dahil mura at sa cagayan de oro ko gagamitin yun. lately kasi madalas bumaha sa CDO pag-umuuwi kami. I bought the revo para lang may magamit kami dun ng pamilya ko pag-uwi at dinala ko na yung pajero dito sa bohol. 6-7l/km lang din yung revo kasi gasoline engine. bale, yung revo bihira ko lang gamitin. if i buy the safari bihira lang din kung nandun lang kami sa CDO.

san po ba masmahal na reselling value after 5 years, ang 2003 revo or 95-97 safari? or stay with the revo and save the P250k?

Have you ever looked at MAINTENANCE?

I doubt a Patrol will save you anything over the Revo in terms of parts and upkeep costs. Neither will buying a 1980s Benz or BMW as you mentioned in your other thread.

Patrols are big, heavy, thirsty beasts, regardless of fuel burned, and maintaining its 4WD system is going to be an added headache over the Revo IMHO. Watch out.

If you're filthy rich, then go for it. If you're a mere mortal like most of us here...I would suggest you shelve your 250k in some sort of investment.

Hmmmm.... I think the TS is more into buying the patrol. Gusto niyo po ba yun bilin para pwede ilusong sa baha rather than the revo?

[blue_gambit]

I think mas mag stick ang value ng SUV over an AUV, yes totoo nga na mas mahal ang parts ng Patrol SUV definitely. But on the other hand it is more durable and reliable than Revo AUV parts, more expensive but less downtime. Sa consumption I think baka mas makatipid pa nga TS sa cost/km, kasi gasoline variant yung revo. nd given na pambaha, di hamak na mas gugutuhin ko ang patrol over revo sa languyan. The difference in height of the air intake and absence of spark plugs,distributors etc. inherent to gas fed engines says it all...

One more thing which one will be considered a classic or an icon after a few more years... snif snif hehehe

The pagong safari (yung shape not performance) when lifted and loaded with bigger wheels really look awesome.

And yes the safari will be more expensive to keep so it will do well as a toy car rather than a regular ride. By toy car or project car something you are willing to spend to keep and upgrade/etc.

Pero kung regular ride na pang-masa (like what the Revo is) mas better off ka bumili ng bagong car or mas bagong car na second hand.

Here's what I'd recommend.

1) Keep the Revo, and save the 250k or better yet invest it. I know first-hand how thirsty the gasoline Revo is (especially in A/T form), but you can see it as a challenge to develop more frugal driving habits. The Revo's engine just doesn't like to be hustled - and frankly neither does its suspension and automatic transmission. Best to drive it in a relaxed manner IMHO as the engine's already taxed with hauling around a rather heavy body.

2) If you don't mind downsizing I highly suggest getting a smaller car, especially ones built past 2000. You can drive the nuts off those things and still return decent fuel economy. Why not a first-generation Toyota Vios? Interior's a little tight and I never got used to the gauge layout, but otherwise that car's pretty good.

My two centavos

I;ve heard that pre 96 safaris are RUST Prone

Given the fact that the vehicle will be used in CDO and for ford-flooding purposes, think if the Safari will do the job than the Revo. If yes, then go for the it. Just be sure to be ready with all the changes it entails in having a Safari now than a Revo.
