bibili pa lang ng kotse [NEED ADVICE] Planning to buy Destinator GLS (cash sana if ever)

Post image
44 Upvotes

Hi CarsPH,

Planning to buy Destinator GLS. Na test drive ko yung GT twice, nakita ko din naman yung GLS na naka display. Nag test drive din ako BRV VX. Leaning towards Destinator. Meron kaya discount sa November? Ngayon Oct kasi ang baba ng discount. Sa December kaya?

Meron ba kayo mapapayo? First time owner, family of 5 kami. Ano mga dapat i-check kapag kukuhanin na namin yung unit, yung sa insurance sabi nung iba sa labas na lang daw kung ika-cash namin.

Saka ano ba mga must have accessories? Balak namin ipa leather seats e, kasi may tatlo kaming kids baka matapunan upuan. Saka yung charcoal ba yun? Tips in general lang sana sa kagaya namin first time owner. Salamat sa mga sasagot.

On the Road New driver. First time ko mag test drive with my brandnew car

26 Upvotes

Pa rant na lang dito, gusto ko lang mailabas trauma. So 1st time ko magtest drive with our new car. Ililibot ko lang sana car namin sa subdivision para makapagpractce pa ako dahil kulang yong 8hrs dtiving lesson. So nung nilabas ko na sasakyan ko bigla may sasalubong na kotse. Pauunahin ko na sana siya kaso bigla sya huminto muna para maggive way sa akin. Nung ilalabas ko na, nahulog yong left harap gulong sa kalsada, medyo mataas kasi. Medyo natataranta ako dahil marami ng tao sa paligid. Kaya medyo inapakan ko gas pabalik kasi hindi makakyat, nung naapakan ko na para magreverse, yong isang gulong naman amg nahulog sa likod at muntikan na may natamaan na batang nakikiosyoso. At lumap8t ma yong isa para signalan kami saan kami kakabig ng manibela para makaakyat ulit. The whole time na nagdadrie nanlalamig mga kamay ko. Kaya naka isang ikot lamg kami. Pag uwi parang di ko alam gagawin ko, di makakilos. Parang natrauma. Alam ko may pagkakamali ako 😭 at parang ayaw ko na ituloy driving journey. Pero kelangan ko labanan sarili kong takot.

repair query Honda City 2016 vx navi growling noise when accelerating

1 Upvotes

There’s this grrrrr noise coming from my 2016 Honda City. Is my CVT transmission cooked? 😭

When we drained and refilled the CVT fluid, we found metal flakes in the old fluid. The car still drives smoothly, though. No delays, no jerking, just the noise.

What should I expect going forward? Is my CVT likely to fail soon, or is there still a chance it’ll be okay? Has anyone experienced something similar with their Honda City?

Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated! 🙏

car & product reviews Suzuki APV - Persistent Inner Tire Wear , Anyone Had the Same Experience?

2 Upvotes

I bought my Suzuki APV from a dealership in my province. Just a few months after purchase, I noticed excessive wear on the inner side of the left front tire.
I reported it several times, and the dealership eventually replaced the tire for observation. However, the problem kept coming back. They repeatedly blamed wheel alignment and referred me to their recommended shop, but the issue was never permanently resolved.
Now, the unit is not even 5 years old, and I may have to replace the tires again. I suspect there could be an underlying mechanical issue or possible factory defect, but I still haven’t received a clear explanation.
When I reported it again, the dealership said they could repair it, but I would have to pay for the repair. I asked them to review my previous complaints and emails, but the manager who handled my case has already transferred, and apparently, they have no record of the previous tire replacement.
I use this vehicle for business, so the recurring expenses and inconvenience are frustrating. I’m also finishing my installment payments this January.
For Suzuki APV owners and automotive experts:
Has anyone experienced the same issue?
What could be causing repeated inner tire wear despite wheel alignment?
What can I do if the dealership refuses to address the problem without charging me?
I’d appreciate any advice on how to resolve this fairly. Thank you!

modifications & accessories Fast on Upgrades, Slow on Payments: A question for those who have been around the scene for a while. Have you ever encountered someone like this?

0 Upvotes

You sell someone brand-new parts on installment, even give them some of your own parts for free, and offer flexibility to make things easier. Then, when payment is due, they start lowballing you on items they've already taken, leave you on seen, or simply stop responding. Meanwhile, their social media remains active, and the spending on new parts and upgrades seems to continue as usual.

Of course, appearances do not tell the whole financial story. But there is a difference between genuinely struggling financially and repeatedly prioritizing discretionary spending over existing commitments. The real issue is not how much someone earns or what they choose to buy, but whether they honor their word and communicate honestly when circumstances change.

What's particularly amusing is that their approach to making payments seems remarkably similar to their driving on track. Absolutely horrendous consistency, questionable judgment, and seemingly no intention of improving their lines. 💀

And then they wonder why a particular group of people, whom I've known since the early 2000s, has never quite opened the door to them. Perhaps the answer is less complicated than they think. Being accepted into an established community is not just about having the right car, knowing the right people, or projecting the right image. It is also about trust, credibility, and how you conduct yourself when other people extend you a favor.

You can build a car with money and bolt on credibility with appearances, but neither is a substitute for character. 😁

Shop Recommendations Please suggest a trusted mechanic around Cainta/Pasig

1 Upvotes

We have a 2008 Toyota Corolla Altis with manual transmission na natambak lang sa bahay at matagal nang walang gumagamit. Goods pa raw yung makina pero marami na rin issues, like hindi gumagana AC, stuck na windows, may squeaking sound sa manibela, laging nadidischarge ang battery, and other possible issues.

I suggested selling it na lang, pero ayaw pa ni mommy dahil may sentimental value sa kanya ang car.

For now, I’d like to hire a trusted and reliable mechanic sana who can inspect the car, identify the issues, and provide an estimate of the repair costs para ma-assess namin kung worth it pa bang ipaayos or mas practical nang ibenta as is at kung magkano pa mabebenta.

May mairerecommend po ba kayong mekaniko around Cainta/Pasig na puwedeng mag-home service?
