**achat** · October 22nd, 2010 05:22 AM

Hi,
I m newbie here.
Had just bought Innova J series Diesel M/T: Delivery will be on 10/25
Price - Php808,000 + Insurance 22,766.( Orginal price was 858,000 because was able to avail additional discount of Php15K at Toyota Fort Bonifacio Promo on top of the Php35K discount). Avail Bank AUB Bank Loan at 8.35% OMA 2 years. Free Chattel Mortgage for 2 years ;
Freebies:
Platinum Tint
Matting
Seatcover
Undercoating

1) Is the deal ok?

2) Any recommendation I can install PowerLock & Alarm in Banawe? Can I find the Powerlock which have separate switch po sa passenger side, 2 switch on d driver side with 1 touch up & down feature? What brand? How much to spend?

3) Any recommendation where I can Trade-in the J-series hubcap into Mags na parang sa E-series ? Around how much ?

4) Hope for reminders for me newbies to take check when I will get my new Innova on 10/25?

Thanks

di ba 50 k ang discount sa diesel? dun ka mag base ng discount then dagdagan nila. Pinagmukha lang nila galante sila pag 35k+15k=50k discount.

Are you referring to power locks or power windows?

3. as i understand, mas cheaper ang maintenance after quite sometime.
4. mas mura ang vvti hehe
5. since day 1, gas is my preference talga.
6. and lastly, hindi ako ntatakot sa gasoline prices kasi lazy driver ako;tipid-takbo na driver, kahit tricycle pina oovertake ko lolzz...

to conclude it all, its just a matter of your preference and choice.. as i understand also, the d4d issue has been addressed already by toyota..
goodluck sa decision mo later.. tell us what did you choose...

thanks po sir bardfort3. kumusta naman ang gas mileage and ilang taon na innova mo? iniisip ko lang kasi 2.7L yung gas engine so baka malakas sa konsumo. taga bulacan ako eh and madalas lumuluwas kaya malaking bagay din ang gas bills ko hehe

good evening po sa lahat,

sorry kung noob question po.

1.) Ask ko pang kung normal po ba umiinit ang wheels sa front?
sa long run mas mainit ang wheels sa harap compare sa likod normal po ba?

2.) Napansin ko po tuwing mag break ako, minsan po mahina lang nag bebreak po agad minsan po dapat idiin pa po paloob. Minsan nag sstandby ako sa traffic dumidiin sya paloob from normal break (nag iiba) parang ang feeling kakaon pa lang ng engine yung biglang lumalambot ang break pero mas lumalambot pa lalo. Normal po ba ito? bago naman po ang break pads.

3.) Bakit po mahirap ma remote innova namin (open close door) dapat malapitan pa. bago naman po ang battery ng remote. Ano po ang pwede natin ma check dito?

Appreciated po kung sino ang makatulong sa akin....

TIA

Heat from the mags, tires or both? The heat could be coming from the engine.

Yung biglang bumabaon, napansin ko yan sa stand still traffic. It usually occurs in tandem with the aircon compressor shuttling bet. idles.

Its a matter of your remote key having a clear line of sight with the transmitter inside the vehicle. As for mine, it varies. Sometimes even when you are a 2 meters away it won't function bec. I was pointing it down. It works well, when I'm pointing the key down from a 2 storey structure. Try pointing your remote key high and make sure there is a clear line of sight.

Discount alone is quite good already. Your freebies are industry standard. Either request for a full front windshield tint or try haggling for free 3 yrs LTO (this will be tough to snatch).

Try Evangelista (near Pasay, Edsa) or Rizal Ave. Ext. Looks like everyone else has the same idea as you so don't expect the shops to pay a lot for the steel rims and hubcap. As for the availability of the E variant, that would depend these shops has come upon someone trading in their mags.

Tell him/her to try taking a bath without soap.

Its the same thing with cars. The car shampoo acts as a form of lubrication bet. the microfiber towel (you need to buy this and its much better than "pranela" being sold in the streets.) and the sheet metal

You need to get a car shampoo. The shampoo being used by most people who frequent this forum is from Big Berts.
