well spoke to the sales rep and he said that once we are buying one of the vehicles parked at Mid centre mall, we won't have to pay the MVT...that means we may have to take any colour we get, which is fine cause the MVT may work up to an extra $8K-$10K... Confused

DW at least you have diesel...gemini and i wld have to deal with premium price... Neutral

Hottgirl you have to take gas or you could take diesel?
In my case I had to take gas.

Its averaging to be an extra $40-$50 for each full up.
I just think twice abt driving around to much when not at work or school which are a must.

well diesel is over the budgeted amount, so we have to take gas....

normally with our B14 we have to fill up every other day, i wonder how often we'd have to fill up with the Tuscon? and i am sure that we'll be driving the B14 when we are not going to work!

Actually, I had a B14 and when compared to using the Tucson its not much more gas being used. It just cost more to fill up as I guess its a bigger tank.

Not sure if I observed wrong. Laughing

DW, what is the cost of the diesel Tucson? (The Sportage is $248)

DW · Posted: Thu Sep 25, 2008 8:00 pm Post subject:

I dont know what the current price was ( pre or post ) budget, but when I got mine in 2007:

4x2 GL diesel - 220K
4x4 GL diesel - 234K
4x4 GLS diesel - 262K

$248K is for what model Sportage, 4x2 / 4x4, lower spec or higher spec ?

hotgirl and or Gem_in_i might have a better idea of current pricing on the diesel Tucson, ppl ???

I heard a rumour that Lifestyle was / is bringing down a diesel variant to the SGV (not the XL7)..any truth to that ?

DW, i don't know the exact prices of the diesel but i know that its higher than what you paid for it in 2007.

with our B14 we'd usually spend $120 every two days and a total of $360/week, which totals to abt $1,400/month.....(yea, we keep records of everything) Embarassed

Knowing that the Tuscon has a bigger engine, i am guessing that we're gonna be paying a lot more on gas.

Maybe I used to spend tht amt to.

I usually am more concerned abt recording my kms than $$$ spent on gas. Very Happy

And they say running ac affects gas use to. Well I don't drive without ac if I could help it.
My windows always up.

I used to spend about $120.00 every two days to fill a galant, between the gas and repair costs, it made no sense again.

I always check the KM I get vs how much I paid to fill the tank. So far after a year, the average is still the same for me.

Gosh..they raised the price again on the diesel..and then now the MVT went up..it must be close to 300K for the GLS one now Shocked

Between the heat and the hours I keep and the safety, windows up and AC blasting.

^^ same with me. Laughing

Everyone knows abt me and my ac. Laughing

I think it keeps the inside of the vehicle new to with the windows always being up. Inside my B14 was very clean and new. Smile
