Replacement sa casa is 3-4weeks daw. IMO, ang tagal naman. pwede naman nilang pintahan yung bumper agad to much the color of the car then ikakabit na lang pag dinala na yung car sa casa. Im not sure bakit kailgangang abutin 3-4 weeks ang pag palit ng bumper.

Usually, kung may stock sa plant, mga 1 week, gawa na to. Try to inquire to other dealers if they can have it done in 1 week. Sa banawe, yung second hand na Mazda 3 bumper in good condition cost only around 2k onwards.

Pwede ba sa ipagawa sa ibang casa yung bumber? I bought the car in Mazda Alabang so I would assume sila lang ang pwedeng mag ayos ng bumper not other casa. Besides, the in-house insurance will shoulder the cost of the replacement. I will only shoulder the participation.

To migs267,

If you opt to have your bumper done via a Mazda casa covered by your insurance policy (less deductible plus depreciation if applicable), you can have it done in any Mazada casa of your choice. Different casas may quote you different cost estimate, thus, you can select the the best that can offer at a lower cost and good workmanship.

Or another way is you can opt for cash settlement from your insurer and have the bumper replacement done somewhere else of your choice, which will yield you left -over cash on hand to buy other things, car accessories, or upgrades. Insurer will based their cash settle from the casa estimate less deductible and depreciation (if applicable based on age of the car). Good luck.

I never thought na pwede pala ang cash settlement from insurance. I'll try this one baka maka mura pa ako sa ibang casa and at the same time may sobra pang pera for other things.

hi,

ask ko lang kung magkano ang gastos sa pms ng mazda 3? every 10k lang ba ang pms nya o every 5k?

PMS is done every 10km. Casas use fully synthetic oil and cost varies from 6k to 9k for a 20Km PMS . 1Km and 10Km PMS is free of charge. Other tsikoteers say you can have it done in other car care like Goodyear Servitek with cheaper cost but the warranty may be voided.

currently contemplating on which variant to buy. the S or V. yung difference ba nilang dalawa is necessary for a daily driven car like ABS and others?

currently got a quote of:

70K dp & 17K+ monthly for the S while 120Kdp & 18K+ for the V

**actor21** · November 3rd, 2010 02:51 PM

ako S variant lang yung sakin...kung average kms mo is 40kms a day (or even higher)..medyo mag alangan ka sa mazda 3..matakaw sa gas..unless meron ka gas allowance sa office...

pero every 10k naman ang PMS ang babayaran mo lang is 20,000 kms checkup w/c range from 9k to 12k

The V has the following features not available in S
1. ABS+EBD+BA
2. Driver + Passenger Airbags
3. Automatic A/C
4. Black-out meters
5. 16 inch mags
6. 6 speakers
7. Map lights
8. Leather steering wheel
9. others

Mas malaki nga lang discount sa S variant.

galing kami mazda makati yesterday to do a test drive. so far enjoy naman ako sa test drive. the SA quoted me sa m3S 90K dp all in. sabi ko yung sa isang dealer 70k lang yung dp. yung addtional 20k daw ay para sa extended service warranty na according to him for 3 years libre daw ang PMS. good deal ba ito o gamitin ko na lang yung additional for the side skirt, fog lamp and spoiler/ducktail?
