Yesterday, my wife and I went to Toyota Cebu-Mandue to buy my ‘dream car‘.
The oil prices are soring high. Some car owners sold there luxury cars and bought smaller cars like multi-cab and similar cars just to save few PhP from the car’s fuel. However, there are would-be car owners who are not discouraged by continuous increase of oil prices and they are still eager to buy a car, not just a car, but their own dream car.
What’s my dream car?
Well, I am not that ambitious. I am not dreaming to own a very expensive gas-driven car. Iam not even thinking of buying a sports car. I am already contented with the Toyota Fortuner. Uhummm….
Toyota Fortuner is already considered a luxury SUV but it’s cheaper than other luxury vehicles. According to the Toyota Philippine website (click here), A toyota 4×2 Fortuner with G 2.4 Diesel Engine, Automatic Transmission is worth PhP 1.4M. The price of the Toyota 4×2 Fortuner with G2.7 Gas Engine, Automatic Transmission is PhP 1.3M. And the Toyota 4×4 Fortuner with V3.0 Diesel engine and Automatic Transmission is only worth PhP1.6M.
The features of the 3 Toyota fortuners mentioned above were almost the same. So, my wife and I decided to take the Toyota 4×4 Fortuner especially that the dealer’s showroom has it already. However, it would be better if there’s a Toyota 4×4 Fortuner with Authomatic Transmission but is already driven by a water (water powered cars). After few signing of documents and handing of the check (the money was supposed to be from my blogging income), we went home immediately here in Maasin City. The car will just be delivered to us by the Toyota-Cebu dealer for free.
However, just this morning, I realized that I couldn’t drive the purchased Toyota 4×4 Fortuner because the said car remains my dream car and what has happened yesterday was just in my dream.
I’m sorry but everything is just a dream.

no matter how hard i try to convince myself to like and recommend korean vehicles, still i always have apprehensions regarding the vehicles performance, resale value, overall valu-for-money, etc.. it looks a bit fancy on the outside and the inside looks very very cheap.. the resale value of these vehicles still remain at the lowest level even tho u managed to properly maintain these for years.. hyundai and kia vehicles are all overpriced.. considering the features they offer, still its overpriced.. maybe they are trying to make a good impression to the motoring public that they sell expensive performance vehicles but sadly, they’re not… they just want to make an impression in order for their vehicles to be sold.. honda, toyota, nissan, ford and mazda are still the best choice when it comes to performance, value-for-money and high resale value..
cheers!
