Buying And Selling Cars Is A Good Business

In this rough times, I know for a fact that the car industry is in ruins right now. But it doesn't necessarily mean that there is no hope. I got the chance to visit my uncle this weekend and I got the chance to talk to him about his business. He buy and sell philippines car finder, meaning he finds cars to buy and sell it for a profit. This doesn't limit the fact that he buy and sell cars in the Philippines. He goes to different countries and buys cars and go back to Philippines to sell them. Of course, after converting some its parts. :)

This is a good business if you have contacts that can let you slip on the customs for lesser tax. This business is lucrative because you can buy cars in different countries for a very low price. Like in Japan, they sell cars like cheap electronics, the reason being is that renewing a car license there is more expensive than buying a new one. So every year, people are buying new cars.

Isuzu Philippines New 2009 D-MAX Variants

There has never been a better time to buy a pickup than now. That’s because Isuzu Philippines Corp., assembler of world-class and award-winning diesel-powered vehicles, has just introduced two new variants of the D-MAX pickup for 2009. The pair of the new LS and the Boondock II now boast features previously only found on higher-end trims. The new features make the tough D-MAX stunning as well.

For the 2009 D-MAX LS, the following upgrades have been made: installation of new side stepboards with anti-slip rubber (only for the 4×2); change of door insert material from sports jersey to leatherette; change of seat material from sports jersey to black leather; switch to a more modern audio head unit (JVC KD G845); and addition of two-eye back-up sensors.

The Boondock II also has the same black leather seats, leatherette door inserts, audio head unit and back-up sensors. But it doesn’t stop there. The Boondock II now sports a new radiator grille design that further enhances the pickup’s stylish front end. It also rolls on new Yokohama Geolandar 265/70 R16 all-terrain tires for optimum grip on the most challenging of off-road surfaces combined with exceptional on-road performance.

“The D-MAX has always been a perfect pickup in terms of performance, fuel-efficiency, reliability and environment-friendliness,” said IPC President Keiji Takeda. “But that doesn’t stop us from continuing to find ways to make it a better product. From small to big features–as long as we know that they will benefit our customers–we will put them in the D-MAX.”

The D-MAX is powered by a 3.0-liter CRDi turbodiesel engine that is rated at 146 ps of maximum output and 294 Newton-meters of maximum torque. It also conforms to Euro-2 emission standards. This vaunted diesel powerplant is complemented by Isuzu’s critically acclaimed Flex Ride MOVE suspension system, which achieves a comfortable ride in spite of the vehicle’s pickup chassis.

The 2009 D-MAX is now also available with new body colors: Canyon Red and Granite Gray for the LS, and Light Blue Metallic/Sterling Silver for the Boondock II. The LS 4×2 and 4×4 are priced at P1,085,000 (manual transmission)/P1,145,000 (automatic transmission) and P1,315,000 (manual transmission), respectively, while the Boondock II 4×4 goes for P1,325,000 (manual transmission).

Philippine Car Sales ‘Better Than Other Markets’

Vehicle sales dropped by a slight 3.3 percent to 38,522 units during the first four months of this year, a joint report from the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines Inc. (CAMPI) and the Truck Manufacturers Association (TMA) showed yesterday.

“So far the local industry is holding up better than other markets,” CAMPI president Elizabeth H. Lee said. She noted that the low single digit decline in sales is better than other developed economies.

Car sales continue to be supported by the overall financing environment. Buyers still have access to financing and continue to buy although buyers are becoming more discerning with greater ‘price shopping’, feature comparison, and value for money as key considerations for purchase amid the wide variety of vehicles being offered in the market,” Lee said.

She said that industry players still remain cautiously optimistic given that the three-percent decline in sales is still relatively small. “We will have to see how the industry fares in the next two to three months and if there is enough reason to adjust our yearend forecasts,” Lee said.

Auto players expect stiffer competition with buyers benefitting from promotional activities offered by most brands. Sales are expected to normalize in the next months.

Month-on-month sales went down by seven percent on account of shorter selling days in April due to the Holy Week holidays. Sales in April reached only 9,988 units.

Passenger Cars (PC) grew by two percent while Commercial vehicles (CV) declined by six percent although CVs continue to dominate overall vehicles sales with a 64 percent share of nationwide sales selling 24,756 units.

For Asian Utility Vehicles (AUV), the unavailability of some variants decreased year to date sales by 13.7 percent, although on a month-on-month basis sales went down by 3.2 percent due to deliveries of pending orders.

There was a slight movement for light commercial vehicles (LCV). Sales of vans, pickup trucks, and compact wagons which form the bulk of LCV sales continue to hold. The decline in April sales against the high sales of March was expected due to shorter selling days. LCV sales are expected to pick up in the coming months.

Light truck sales increased by 3.6 percent due to higher fleet sales deliveries compared to last year. Although year-to-date sales decreased by 29.4 percent for trucks and buses, month-on-month sales increased by 70 percent due to new bus purchases transportation-related businesses.

Toyota sold most vehicles with 34.5 percent of the market followed by Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corp. with 17.5 percent and Honda Cars Philippines at 15.2 percent.
