"i'm planning to sell my trooper & get a fortuner.
i'm still thinking whether to get the gas or diesel variant.
i'm also wondering of the advantage/diadvantage of fortuner compared to my trooper.

sana ang nakarera ni vicoyski ay trooper instead of alterra..."

Don't sell your trooper, I test drove my friend's fortuner and medyo matagtag sya and hindi comfortable ang seats. Yun nga lang mas maganda porma ng fortuner kasi bago pero maganda naman porma ng trooper eh.

Hi Guys,
Nakapila din ako since May 16 so Toyota makati. My reserved unit is 2.7 Gas Grayish Brown. According to my agent, I am 6th in line for this color. Based on the list, I am the only one who wants this color. Dapat mas mabilis ko makuha ang unit ko (wishfull thinking). Can't wait.

Anybody here opted for the leatherette seatcovers? Exactly how much does the dealer sell it anyway. I was quoted 13k at Cubao but my colleague got it for 10k at Manila Bay. Anywhere we can get it outside with the exact same fit as those sold in the dealerships?

Also has anyone been able to secure a quote from Kelseats to have the Fortuner reupholstered in leather? My dealer is quoting me 100k!

The leatherette seatcovers costs P12.5K at my dealer.

If you plan to have your seats re-upholstered, go straight to KelSeat. Malaki ang patong ng dealers, despite the fact that they get discounts from KelSeat.

The prices, as quoted to me by Kelseat for the Fortuner:
Leather/vinyl combo - P37.5K
Full leather - P60K

sir saan sa cubao yan? sa may autocentro ba (seat pro yata yun). nung tinanong ko kasi sila about a month ago, 9k yung seat cover. para na rin siyang re-upholstered seat kasi lapat na lapat sa seat. nagtaas na rin sila presyo?

Thanks. Imagine the difference in price quoted! I just hope that Kelseats has not adjusted its price. Maybe I'll wait a little longer...

Actually, I meant Toyota Cubao. I can understand that they would want to make some money but 100k vs 60k!!! (assuming they quoted me full leather) is just plain highway robbery!!!
