Finally, we got our 2007 Honda CRV 2.0 AT after 2 months of waiting and almost 2 years of dreaming. The body color is Alabaster Silver. Honda CRV has 3 shades of silver and for us, this is the best among the crop. It's like a bright silver, almost white. The other 2 silver looks like gold from an OFW na galing Saudi while the other looks like a light shade of talong.
This is our first real SUV as our previous car is more like a psuedo SUV or a poor man's SUV. But despite these comments, we love that car (the Revo). In fact, we’re thankful that my parents-in-law bought it from us hence we’ll still see our former ride. The CRV retails for more than a million and 65% of it was paid by the company. The balance is our equity. The deal is that I have to stick it out with the company for 5 years then I get to buy it for 20% of the book value. Talk about motivation.
We got almost all of what we requested from Honda Makati: free fog lamps, free back up sensor, free 3M tint, a full tank, free rust proof, the usual keychain-doormat-umbrella-windshield visor freebies. Though we paid for it, the front lower grille was painted with body color so that the “toothless look” of the new CRV was eliminated. The icing on the cake is the plate number *KE 118 which is close to our son B5’s name matched with his birthday January 18.
Like a little boy with a new toy, I got the car from the company's vehicle dispatch center at around 10pm last night (August 24), went on a joy ride with my family (who were are excited as I was) around Legaspi Village and The Fort and woke up at 7am to play with Asimo’s sibling (ASIMO is a humanoid robot created by Honda Motor Company. The name is an acronym for "Advanced Step in Innovative MObility). Tomorrow, we’re off to Tagaytay for more joy ride!
