Reaching 5000 Km

Last July 25, my Kia Picanto has reached the 5000 Km mark. My picanto is still doing well and still runs like it was still fresh and new.

Picanto price increase

3 months after I bought my Kia Picanto, its price was increased from P500K to P540K. Maybe the demand for fuel efficient car was one reason for the price increase. But I have noticed that the Hyundai counterpart, which is the Getz, was still priced at P488K. Well in fact, picanto is much fuel efficient compare to the Getz because it's more lighter. And when I checked out the Hyundai Getz before, the deal was not good that's why I have bought the Kia Picanto because after I have done some calculations, it came out that the Kia Picanto was more bang for the buck aside from its being a fuel efficient car.

If your planning to buy a Kia Picanto, you must find a good deal. Try asking different dealers so you can compare the packages they can offer included in the Kia Picanto. I have also read from tsikot that a dealer can give as much as P50K in subsidy when you trade in your old car. So if your old car values at P150K then they can subsidize up to P50K more on top of it so it will be up to P200K that you can use as a downpayment. Not bad at all for it can compensate the price increase on the Kia Picanto.
