Forum Support Tommy T. Posted July 25 Forum Support Posted July 25 We also resolved - for us - the issue with dark tinting. We asked, and they provided, dark tint on the sides and light tint front and back. While we haven't driven the car at night, it seemed like a good compromise. We could have ordered up the reflective tint, but the price - which I have promptly forgotten - was prohibitive, as in several thousand pesos up-grade.... No thanks.

About 6k or 7k additional I believe. It's the one complaint I have about the car but as we almost never drive at night we'll live with it. Lesson learned by me.

I finally looked at our insurance papers and quotes. Toyota offered two options - Maya or Standard Insurance. L was told that Maya is new, so I automatically suggested we stick with the tried and older company. So we had two quotes - Maya did not offer "acts of nature," whereas Standard did. The difference in quotes was ~ 19-21k for Maya and ~ 24k for Standard, so my previous guess was wrong. We had similar prices for the Jimny. The limits of coverage do seem a bit low compared to western countries with liability running only 200k. That is not a lot in western countries, but perhaps is adequate here. I would hate to see the rates for much higher coverage. Still, I feel comfortable knowing we have complete coverage including the "acts of nature," clause. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full coverage here is a magnitude cheaper here than what I was used to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also neglected to mention that our policy is due in mid-August, but the Toyota dealer - from whom we bought the insurance originally and will continue - offered an early payment discount of about 4k pesos. That is not to be sneezed at and if I pay it annually in June, as we did this year, it is not a big deal to pre-pay this first time but saves close to 20%. So, instead of paying ~24k in August, we paid ~20k in June and will continue this, if the discount is offered next year. Edited July 29 by Tommy T.

Before arriving I asked "please don't talk finances prices or our plans". She understood as everything is negotiable. The dealer has the car she likes so things are looking good. She then says "this is perfect I love this one" she then explains to the salesman how we need a car immediately as she hasn't a car now. I just smiled remembering that I do love her. Any other members have stories they wish to share? why buy her a car? She rode public transportation before you 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
