They do now. It is under powered with the smaller engine, so get the 3 liter. Same chassis as my Trailblazer but I like the styling better, and the interior is very nice. Built in Thailand, I think at the same factory as the Trailblazer. I keep learning that many cars sold in the PH are built in Thailand. Honda is also built there using parts from Japan. Thailand has quite a large car industry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Competition is fairly fierce I believe. I don't think there is a lot of fat to be cut in the price of a new car in the Philippines unless it is in the 2-4 million pesos car segment. It's the Philippines, 1k USD profit on a new car would be a reasonable profit. In the US I can usually bargain 5k-7k off of list price for a car. The van I'm going to buy is only 588k pesos including tax or about $11,700 USD and I don't think there is much room for them to come down, and if there was someone would already be doing it to undercut them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Hounddriver Posted July 23, 2017 Posted July 23, 2017 The price of a new car anywhere in Philippines is the same as the price in Manila "plus shipping" and any extras they can get away with. Since many of us are retired and have more time than money, I wonder if the price of new cars are more negotiable in Manila than in other areas. I do know people who have gone to Manila to buy and then drove their new car home or brought it home on a Ro Ro (Roll on Roll off ferry). Problem is these guys never come back to say whether it was a good idea after a couple years. Did they have trouble? Did they decide they would do it again if the occasion arose? Are they saying nothing because they made a mistake and don't like to admit it? Hmmmmm. I wonder about it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now its your turn to be making assumptions For cheap houses it is much easier to pay cash than finance them here. Cars are expensive. It is easier to finance them. I had to pay cash for my house but I could finance a car (with wife or filipino co-signer) if I so desired. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
