Finally, after more than 3 months of waiting, we finally got our Subaru Forester 2.0 XS. We were not supposed to get it yet because of a company policy “no plate, no release” however justified that the vehicle is already registered but there is a plate production issue on LTO’s side hence plate release may be longer than usual.
Prior to seeing the vehicle last July 2, we inspected the vehicle once sometime in May in MI Greenhills just to ensure that there are no defects (no scratches, not yet repainted). We learned our lesson as our first brand new car, a 2002 Toyota Revo GLX had its hood already repainted.
The dealer gave a P20,000 corporate discount and threw in freebies which included:
(a) 3M tint,
(b) original floor mat,
(c) black seatcovers,
(d) rust proof and
(e) LTO for 3 years.
Less than a week old, we had the ff. add ons installed:
(a) Acoustic parking aide from MI Greenhills
(b) Tail pipe cutter from MI Bonifacio Global City
(c) Cargo step panel from MI BGC
(d) Cargo tray from JDM Select
Our next project for Y2012 includes the ff.:
(a) Mud Guards from JDM Select
(b) A mono amplifier
(c) A 10” or 12” subwoofer
(d) Side sill plates
Lined up for Y2013 includes the ff:
(a) Bosch horn
(b) Stainless steel pedals
(c) Rear Spoiler
(d) Body side mouldings
(e) Puddle lights
For Y2014, the ff. are part of the plan:
(a) Wheels 18” X 8” (b) Tyres 235/50/R18
(c) Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(d) Auto locking doors at 15 kph
(d) Auto locking doors at 15 kph
I have not thought of what accessories to get after 2014 but I’m sure I’ll think of one. In the meantime, we will enjoy our new ride.
