I've been very busy these past days with meetings, out-of-town trips (official business) and matters concerning the new Isuzu MUX automatic (Isuzu is being advertised here in Mylot) so I could hardly be around here.
On Tuesday, a couple who are our friends volunteered to accompany us and use their Isuzu DMax on a 4 1/2 hour drive to the capital city of another province to view and test drive the MUX. After having my mind set on getting the manual variant, I was finally convinced to get the 3.0L automatic instead.
There were concerns however in the transaction, including the holding off of my daughter's remittance from abroad because of anti-money laundering policies, that I got frustrated and did not want anymore to proceed with the purchase. Things got ironed out today and finally, we got the unit by late afternoon.

I'm a satisfied Isuzu customer, Lany, and this is a "repeat" order for an Isuzu unit. My current Isuzu Hilander is already 18 years but it still looks new and in very good condition. I have to sell it though because the garage can only accomodate one car. For now, I parked the Hilander at my mother-in-law's house and I hope it will be sold soon so I can give the proceeds to my daughter to reimburse part of the down payment she made for the MUX.

@SIMPLYD Attended mass this morning and had our new car blessed. Also included in my mass intention (aside from thanksgiving for the car) is for the successful passing in the board exams for your daughter Dianne, JM, Raisa and Athena as I promised you last night.

The car model is my choice (I'm a satisfied Isuzu owner) and the color is my wife's choice. My daughter (the one who bought it for us) liked obsidian brown, and I liked metallic blue but splash white was the only available color as the MUX is selling like hotcake.

Thanks. It's our daughter who's making the down payment and car loan to buy us the new car and we're thankful to God for giving us thoughtful daughters.

Thanks friend :) I'm starting to enjoy it but of course I'm using our old Hilander alternately while there's no buyer yet. I may be busy in the following weeks because of the coming home of my daughters and the wedding of the younger one next month but I'll try my best to be here.

Yay! You decided on the car and accepting it as your daughter's gift (right?). I love the color choice.

Yes, I finally gave in to my daughter to buy a new car. Yes, it's her gift for us but I want to give her the proceeds of our old car if it is sold to reimburse part of the down payment she made for the new one.

That's the reason my daughter's remittance for the down payment was delayed because she was asked to produce proof of income and employment in NZ.

Thanks, my friend. Yes, it's power steering just like our Isuzu Hilander but this one has automatic transmission.

It's th 11th hahaha! It's the 3rd car I owned but we've already sold the first one almost 2 decades ago. We're selling the second so I can reimburse my daughter a part of the down payment she made on the new unit. How's your flying?

Yes, Ms. Thelma. Thanks for the belt reminder We're inaugurating our cooperative's satellite office in a town about 50 kilometers down south on Sunday and I'm taking my wife with me so we can have a long drive with the car.

Thanks, my friend. It's a very big blessing indeed. I did not want her to give this to us because our 18-year old Isuzu Hilander is serving us so well yet and is in very good running condition but she insisted. She even wanted to give it as a surprise for us as early as January this year but she wanted to make sure that the car she'd give is what I really wanted because I do the driving at home.

The only available color was splash white. It was delivered from Bacolod yesterday and I got it late afternoon because they had the unit washed before turning it over to us. Yes, there's still room for you because the MUX is a 7-seater SUV :)
