we never thought it would be that fast. jude posted our for-sale pick-up in sulit.com last thursday night and a lot of interested buyers emailed and called him the following morning. one of them immediately went to our house saturday afternoon as he was really too eager to see the vehicle and after a round of drive-test and engine check-up, and a little haggling over our price, we were able to close the deal! he went back this afternoon as he promised and paid us in cash; hence, with a heavy heart, we say "adieu, isuzu pick-up!" you served us well in just short span of time that we had you. =( how can we possibly transport the refrigerator and freezer borrowed from our mommies so we can use them in our store if not for you! now the problem is: how are we gonna give them back? =P
one reason by the way why jude disposed the pick-up is he's head-over-heels interested with the isuzu trooper his best buddy, dylan, is selling. the trooper is actually already with us since june, he's just waiting for us to raise enough cash for the payment. he never entertained any buyer--just jude. and the price is really a steal for a 4x4 so jude grabbed the chance and decided to sell the pick-up since we have no extra cash for another vehicle (i actually made him choose... hehe).
hay... what's with 4x4 vehicles that make guys drool over them? dylan got himself a better-looking 4x4 that's why he disposed the trooper. another friend of jude who happens to be iñigo's ninong has a land rover while another friend has... tan-ta-na-nan... a range rover!!! so imagine my pity for jude when he only got himself an old model of isuzu trooper. =( but what the heck! with the soaring fuel prices these days, we're better off with this car. at least it's not as fuel-hungry as the other cars i mentioned so we can still enjoy long road trips without the guilt-feeling.
Oo nga! Ano nga ba? hehe
ReplyDeleteHubs 1st car was a 4x4 (suzuki vitara) as well, until he decided... well, actually the girls made him decide that it wasn't really a "family car" as soon we'd be cramped in it, plus it's great fuel consumption and the heat from outside that it couldn't really take.
Perhaps driving a 4x4 brings out the little boys in them... although I have seen many women 4x4 drivers as well.
wow!!!
ReplyDeleteat least sis the trooper is more spacious kaya ok as family car. we are also using isuzu pick-up at the moment but seriously considering an SUV for our next purchase. sikip na with all the baby gears ^_^
The 4WD is safe kasi makapit siya lalo na sa downhill at uphill. Tsaka ramdam mo yung difference compared sa 2WD. I also like 4WD. Drive nyo dali(!) para makita nyo ang difference. Hehe. Nga pala, pareho lang ba gas consumption ng pick up at SUV? Dito nagmura ang mga medium to big SUVs dahil sa price ng gas.
ReplyDeletetalaga maki-fuel ang vitara? i'm surprised to learn that since it looks compact for me and i thought compact cars are fuel-efficient. we actually wanted to have one before.
ReplyDeletesabi ni jude same lang daw... around 10 kms per hour. but i think that still depends sa model... naku dito naman sa pinas the compact cars are becoming more popular. but i also hope that the price of SUVs here will go down... pangarap namin ni jude to have an everest. hehe.
ReplyDeletei mean 10 kms per liter. =)
ReplyDeleteThe Vitara travels 7kms/liter! With the price of gasoline these days, that's a big deal!
ReplyDeleteyou said it right bless! we can actually put on a small mattress at the back once we folded up the back chair. unlike the pick-up you use the backchair for all the stuffs like stroller and the likes, kaya wala ng maupuan. palit na rin kayo to SUV. kame it's our third car, ganun kabilis kame magpalit. haha. our or should say jude's first car was a vios but he disposed it because it's no longer useful for us.
ReplyDelete7 kms??? grabe nga, it's almost like expedition and everest na. you can't travel far with that car, buti na lang nagpalit na kayo. we miss na nga the vios because it can go as high as 13 kms to a liter as long as we're running less than 80 kmh.
ReplyDeleteang cool ng topic natin... cars! we're not driving naman... passengers lang lagi. hehe.
