Honest Isuzu D-Max PMS Schedule & Cost Guide - Apex Engine

The real Isuzu D-Max PMS schedule and cost — 10,000 km intervals, timing chains, a verified 20.63 km/L eco-run, and the airbag catch, by Apex Engine. Read on.

The Isuzu D-Max doesn’t win arguments on horsepower or touchscreen size. It wins them at the fuel pump and at the 200,000 km mark. This is the truck people buy when the spreadsheet matters more than the badge — engineers, contractors, provincial haulers, and anyone who has done the math on what a pickup actually costs over ten years rather than over a 60-month loan.

The numbers back the reputation. At the 2025 DOE Fuel Eco-Run, a D-Max recorded 20.63 km/Lge — the best diesel figure at the event. Both engines use a timing chain. The PMS interval is 10,000 km, double the Hilux’s, and Isuzu throws in the first two services free. Then there’s the other side of the ledger: the shortest warranty in the segment at 3 years/100,000 km, and a safety kit that collapses to two airbags on everything below the top trim.

So — magkano ba to imaintain, at okay lang ba ‘to for daily use? Here’s the full breakdown: the interval chart, real cost per stage, the chain answer, what that eco-run figure means in traffic, which overseas problems genuinely apply to a Philippine unit, and a variant-level safety catch you won’t see on a price list. For the wider context on service stages, start with our explainer on what PMS actually covers and what each stage costs.

Key Takeaways

  • PMS schedule: every 10,000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first — and the first two services (1,500 km and 5,000 km) are free.
  • Light PMS runs roughly ₱4,000–6,000; heavy/major stops land around ₱9,000–13,000. (Estimates — Isuzu PH publishes no price list. Verify with your dealer, July 2026.)
  • Timing belt or chain? Chain on both engines — the 1.9L RZ4E and the 3.0L 4JJ3. No scheduled belt job, ever.
  • The fuel economy is real but contextual: 20.63 km/Lge in the 2025 DOE Fuel Eco-Run (top diesel at the event); expect roughly 15 km/L highway, 10 km/L city in normal use.
  • Warranty is the weak spot3 years/100,000 km, the shortest among the four mainstream pickups.
  • Airbag count depends entirely on variant: 7 on the LS-E, 2 on everything else — including the ₱1.88M LS-A Plus AT.
  • One confirmed PH recall: 694 D-Max units built 2020–October 2022, steering shaft bolt, free repair.
  • An updated D-Max was previewed at PIMS in June 2026 with reservations already open — factor that into your timing.
The D-Max sells on running cost rather than showroom drama — a timing chain on both engines, 10,000 km service intervals, and the best diesel result at the 2025 DOE Fuel Eco-Run. Apex Engine

Which Model Year Does This Guide Cover? (2021–2026)

This guide covers the third-generation (RG) D-Max, launched in the Philippines in March 2021 and still the truck on sale in 2026. One generation, six model years — but with two updates that matter when you’re shopping a used unit or reading an old review.

The June 2024 facelift was the significant one. Publicly unveiled on June 20, 2024, it brought a wider, more aggressive grille, revised LED headlight signatures, new wheel designs and tweaked taillights. The functional addition was Rough Terrain Mode, which brakes the wheels that have lost traction to push torque toward the ones that still have grip — working alongside the rear differential lock on 4x4 units. Infotainment moved up to a 9-inch unit on LS-A and a 10.1-inch system on LS-E, and the LS-E gained a 360-degree camera, rain-sensing wipers, dual-zone climate and remote start.

The 2026 model year brought a price rise and a trimmed lineup. Prices went up by roughly ₱109,000 to ₱399,000 depending on variant, and the plain 3.0 LS-A grades were dropped in favour of the LS-A Plus versions. The one price that held is the entry RZ4E Single Cab at ₱978,000. The lineup is now nine variants where the 2024 facelift launched with twelve — so a spec sheet you find from 2024 or 2025 will list trims you can no longer buy new.

Mechanically, though, nothing changed across the whole 2021–2026 run. Same two engines, same transmissions, same service logic. A 2021 D-Max and a 2026 D-Max are maintained identically, which is exactly why used examples are a reasonable buy.

One thing to know before you sign anything. At PIMS in June 2026, Isuzu previewed an updated D-Max — new grille, titanium-grey accents on the bi-beam LED headlights, new LED foglight bezels, 18-inch Dark Gray Metallic alloys, new taillights and sidestep; inside, a 10-inch infotainment system, an HD around-view monitor with an underbody view, leather seats, ambient lighting and a wireless charging pad. The 3.0L 4JJ3-TCX carries over unchanged. Reservations are already open, with the official launch set for later in 2026. Prices weren’t announced. If you can wait a few months, wait. If you can’t, the incoming model is leverage on remaining stock.

On the oil capacity: the ~7 L figure for the 3.0L comes from international parts and engine databases covering the 4JJ3 family, not from an Isuzu Philippines document. The engine is the same unit, so the ballpark holds, but we’re not printing a precise fill volume we couldn’t verify locally. Your owner’s manual has the real number — and on a three-litre diesel, underfilling is not a rounding error.

Isuzu D-Max Maintenance Schedule (PMS Interval Chart)

The D-Max runs on a 10,000 km or 6-month cycle, whichever comes first — and Isuzu covers the first two visits free, at 1,500 km and 5,000 km. That’s a genuinely good start to ownership: you’re past 5,000 km before you pay for maintenance at all.

OdometerTypical service
1,500 kmFirst check-up — inspection, fluid levels, bolt torque. Free.
5,000 kmSecond check-up — inspection and adjustment. Free.
10,000 kmLight PMS — engine oil + oil filter, general inspection, tyre rotation
20,000 kmLight PMS + filter attention (air and fuel), brake inspection
30,000 kmLight PMS — oil + filter, brake and suspension check
40,000 kmHeavy / major PMS — oil + filter, air cleaner, fuel filter, brake fluid, coolant check, full driveline inspection
50,000 kmLight PMS
60,000 kmLight PMS + filter replacements
70,000 kmLight PMS
80,000 kmHeavy / major PMS — the 40,000 km list again, plus deeper driveline and suspension work

On 4x4 units, add transfer case and differential oils at the heavy stops. These are real extra line items a sedan owner never sees, and skipping them because the truck “feels fine” is how you turn a ₱3,000 fluid change into a driveline rebuild.

Why the interval is worth money. Over 100,000 km, a D-Max owner makes about ten scheduled service visits. A Toyota Hilux owner on the 5,000 km cycle makes twenty. That’s ten fewer Saturdays and ten fewer labour charges. The catch is the calendar leg — six months — so a low-mileage truck still books twice a year no matter what the odometer says. If you drive under roughly 20,000 km a year, you’re paying for time rather than distance and the advantage narrows.

Isuzu D-Max PMS Cost by Interval

PMS stageIntervalEstimated casa cost
First and second PMS1,500 km, 5,000 kmFree
Light PMS10,000–30,000 km₱4,000–6,000
Heavy / major PMS40,000–80,000 km₱9,000–13,000

Honesty note, and it’s an important one: Isuzu Philippines does not publish a per-interval PMS price list. Their own owners’ page says plainly to “contact any Isuzu dealer for the latest PMS price.” So every peso figure above is an estimate assembled from published Philippine maintenance breakdowns and typical casa rates — not a quote. This is the same wall we hit on the Navara’s service costs and on Ford’s pricing; it’s a segment-wide habit, not an Isuzu-specific one.

The most specific Philippine figures we found put a 20,000 km service at ₱12,494 for manual variants and ₱12,259 for automatics, with labour across services ranging from ₱1,480 to ₱3,080. Two things worth pulling out of that. First, the manual costs more than the automatic — that’s transmission gear oil, quoted at around ₱2,077 per gallon, and it’s a rare case of the manual being the pricier one to maintain. Second, we could not establish which model year that pricing was gathered against, so treat it as directional rather than current. It tells you the shape of the cost, not tomorrow’s invoice.

What we can say with confidence is the structural picture: two free services up front, a light stop that stays in four figures, and heavy stops at 40k and 80k that roughly double it. For a three-litre diesel pickup, that’s a mild ownership cost — and it’s before you count what the fuel economy saves you.

Light PMS vs. Heavy PMS on the D-Max

Light PMS is the routine visit — engine oil and oil filter, a visual inspection of brakes, hoses, belts and suspension, fluid top-ups, tyre rotation. This is most of your service life, and on the 3.0L the cost is driven mainly by the oil fill.

Heavy PMS — what most people mean by “major PMS” — lands at 40,000 km and 80,000 km and adds the consumables: air cleaner element, fuel filter, brake fluid, coolant inspection, and a full driveline check. Hindi porket mura ang light PMS, mura na rin ang heavy. Budget those two stops separately.

The diesel-specific item to take seriously is fuel filtration. A common-rail injection system does not forgive water or dirt, and Philippine fuel quality varies enough — especially on provincial runs — that the fuel filter is the cheapest insurance in the whole schedule. If your service advisor suggests changing it ahead of the interval, that’s not automatically an upsell.

One Isuzu-specific item to ask about: the 4J-family diesels use mechanically adjusted valve clearances, and periodic valve-clearance checks appear in Isuzu service literature for these engines. Overseas workshops list neglected valve adjustment among the things that shorten a 4JJ’s life. We could not confirm the exact interval Isuzu Philippines applies, so don’t take a number from us — ask your service advisor when yours falls due, and get the answer in writing on the job order.

Isuzu D-Max: Timing Belt or Chain?

Chain — on both engines. The 1.9L RZ4E-TC and the 3.0L 4JJ3-TCX both use a timing chain, so there is no scheduled timing-belt replacement and no ₱20,000-plus belt job waiting in your future.

This is the single sharpest maintenance contrast in the segment. The Ford Ranger’s 2.0L diesels use a wet timing belt — a belt running in engine oil, with a service life and a long-term-reliability debate attached. The D-Max simply doesn’t have that conversation. Neither does the Hilux or the Navara, but Isuzu is the one that runs chains on both its engines.

The usual qualifier still applies: “chain” means no scheduled replacement, not no maintenance. A timing chain is lubricated and tensioned by engine oil. Clean oil changed on time is what makes it a lifetime component; neglected oil is what turns it into a rattle. On the D-Max this is less of a known sore point than it is on some rivals, but the physics don’t change.

About That 20 km/L — What the Eco-Run Number Actually Means

The D-Max’s fuel-economy reputation is the reason many people shortlist it, so it’s worth being precise about where the headline number comes from.

At the 2025 DOE Fuel Eco-Run on September 24, an Isuzu D-Max LS-A 4x2 AT running the 3.0L 4JJ3-TCX recorded 20.63 km/Lge in the N1 category — the best-performing diesel vehicle at the event. That’s a real, independently organised result, not a manufacturer press claim.

But an eco-run is a controlled exercise: a trained driver, a planned route, steady speeds, and a driving style nobody sustains on a Tuesday commute. Expect something closer to 15 km/L on the highway and around 10 km/L in heavy city traffic. For a 3.0-litre, 190 PS, two-tonne pickup, those are genuinely strong numbers — better than most of the segment — but they are not 20.

Why this matters more than the PMS bill. Over 20,000 km a year, the gap between 12 km/L and 15 km/L at roughly ₱55 per litre is somewhere in the region of ₱18,000 annually. That’s larger than the difference between any two pickups’ service costs. If you’re comparing running costs across the segment, fuel economy is the line item that actually moves the total — service intervals are the secondary effect. We work through the rest of that math in our pickup running-cost comparison.

DPF, EGR and Which Overseas Problems Apply Here

Search “D-Max problems” and you’ll drown in DPF complaints — blocked filters, failed regeneration cycles, limp mode, expensive replacements. Before you let that put you off, understand where those reports come from.

Philippine-market D-Max engines are Euro 4 “Blue Power” units. The DPF-related failures dominating the search results overwhelmingly come from Euro 5 and Euro 6 markets — Australia, the UK, Europe — where emissions rules require diesel particulate filter hardware that Euro 4 trucks in this market generally don’t carry. Whether a given Isuzu has a DPF depends on model year, engine variant, and the emissions certification of the market it was sold into. An Australian owner’s regeneration nightmare is not automatically a description of your truck.

We are flagging this rather than declaring it settled. We could not find an Isuzu Philippines document that explicitly states the DPF status of the current PH-spec RG D-Max, and we’re not going to assert its absence on inference alone. Ask the dealer directly, and ask before you buy — it changes how you should drive the truck. If your unit does have a DPF, short low-speed trips that never let the filter regenerate are the thing to avoid, which is the same care instruction we set out in the Hilux reliability write-up.

EGR carbon build-up is the more universal issue and it does not depend on emissions tier. Both the RZ4E and the 4JJ3 accumulate deposits in the EGR system over time — the symptoms are rough idle, gradual power loss and black smoke. It’s a documented service item on high-mileage examples rather than a defect, and it’s worst on trucks that live on short city trips where the engine never fully warms up. If your D-Max spends its life in stop-start traffic, mention EGR cleaning at your heavy stops.

Known Issues on the Isuzu D-Max

The 4JJ3 has a strong reputation, and it’s mostly earned: overseas workshops that specialise in these trucks describe it as one of the most reliable diesel engines currently fitted to a new 4WD, with well-maintained examples regularly passing 300,000 km. Here’s what genuinely comes up, with the sourcing stated plainly.

  • EGR carbon build-up — the most consistently reported item on both engines, as covered above. A maintenance reality on high-mileage units, not a design fault.
  • DPF blockage and failed regeneration — heavily reported, but concentrated in Euro 5/6 markets. The RZ4E in particular is reported to struggle with regeneration when driven consistently below 80 km/h. Applicability to Euro 4 Philippine units is unconfirmed — see the section above.
  • Neglected valve-clearance checks — named by Isuzu specialists among the maintenance omissions that shorten these engines’ lives. This is a “do the scheduled work” issue rather than a defect.
  • Transmission heat when towing — reported by owners who tow at or near capacity for extended periods. Worth an auxiliary cooler conversation if towing is your main use case.
  • Cooling-system neglect — grouped with the above by workshops as one of the recurring causes of expensive 4JJ failures.

The qualifier that matters. Almost all of that documentation comes from Australian and UK sources, on trucks running Euro 5/6 hardware, often at higher average speeds and heavier towing duty than a typical Philippine unit sees. We found no Philippine-specific defect pattern, technical service bulletin or local recall for any of these items, and we won’t convert overseas forum volume into a claim about PH trucks. What all of them share is a single root cause — servicing discipline — which is the part you control.

What Philippine owners actually report skews positive, with recurring praise for build quality, engine durability, low running costs and towing ability. The most common criticism is comfort-related: this is a truck built as a work tool first, and the ride quality reflects that against more lifestyle-tuned rivals.

On recalls, the D-Max has a real one — and we can date it. On May 8, 2023, Isuzu Philippines issued a special service campaign covering 694 D-Max units (plus 1,579 mu-X) built between 2020 and October 2022. The defect: the lower second steering shaft bolt may have been tightened below its specified torque value at production and could loosen over time under Philippine road conditions. Repair is free of charge. If your unit falls in that production window, a VIN check at any Isuzu dealer settles it — and a steering component is not one to put off.

Isuzu D-Max Warranty — 3 Years / 100,000 km

Isuzu Philippines states the D-Max warranty as 36 months or 100,000 kilometres, whichever comes first.

That is the shortest term among the four mainstream pickups, and it isn’t close. From our head-to-head across the segment: the Ford Ranger and Nissan Navara both offer 5 years/150,000 km, and the Toyota Hilux runs an effective 5 years/140,000 km through its PMS-conditional loyalty extension. Isuzu gives you two fewer years and 40,000–50,000 fewer kilometres than the leaders.

How much that should weigh on your decision depends on your mileage. A high-mileage commercial operator will hit 100,000 km in under three years anyway, so the warranty’s kilometre cap bites well before the calendar does — and for that buyer, Isuzu’s durability reputation is doing the work the warranty paperwork does elsewhere. A private owner covering 15,000 km a year, on the other hand, is genuinely giving up two years of covered ownership versus a Ranger or Navara.

Either way: keep every service receipt and stay on schedule. A short warranty makes a complete service history more valuable, not less — it’s what protects you on a goodwill claim after the term expires, and it’s what a used buyer will pay extra for later.

Casa vs. Talyer & Parts

Stay at the casa for the warranty period — three years passes quickly, and there’s no sense risking coverage on a truck whose known weak points are all maintenance-related. After that, the calculus opens up, and the D-Max is unusually well placed for independent servicing.

The parts story is the D-Max’s quiet advantage. Isuzu’s 4J-series diesels have been in production for decades across pickups, SUVs and light commercial vehicles, in dozens of markets, and the Philippines has a deep commercial-vehicle relationship with the brand. Filters, belts, suspension components and service consumables are widely stocked and competitively priced, and independent mechanics here know these engines well. That’s not true of every truck in this class.

On the dealer network: published counts vary — sources put Isuzu Philippines somewhere between roughly 50 and 65 outlets depending on whether you count dealerships, showrooms or service points, with one 2026 tally listing 65 authorised dealers across 46 cities. Either figure puts Isuzu behind Toyota’s reach but ahead of several rivals, and the brand’s truck-and-bus business means service capability in provincial areas is often better than the passenger-car dealer count suggests. Still worth checking where your nearest service point is before you commit to a 6-month cycle.

Parts to keep in the running budget: engine oil (around 7 L per change on the 3.0L), oil and fuel filters, air cleaner element, brake pads, and on 4x4 units, transfer case and differential oils at the heavy stops. On manual variants, add transmission gear oil at roughly ₱2,077 per gallon.

With the shortest warranty of the mainstream pickups, the switch-to-independent question arrives sooner on a D-Max than on its rivals — our job-by-job maintenance decision guide covers what to move outside and what to keep at the dealer permanently.

Safety: Check the Variant, Not the Model Page

This needs its own section, because the marketing and the spec sheets tell different stories.

Isuzu Philippines’ own D-Max model page advertises “7 SRS Airbags.” That figure describes the top-spec LS-E. Variant-level listings across the major Philippine car aggregators consistently show two airbags — driver and front passenger — on every variant below the LS-E, including the 3.0 4x2 LS-A Plus AT at ₱1,880,000. That’s a truck approaching two million pesos with the airbag count of an entry-level sedan.

We’re flagging the discrepancy rather than resolving it, because the two sources genuinely conflict and we couldn’t reconcile them against a per-variant Isuzu brochure. The practical instruction is the same either way: confirm the airbag count on the specific variant you’re buying, in writing, before you sign. Don’t rely on a model-level marketing page — and this applies well beyond Isuzu. We found the same pattern on the Navara’s base EL.

On the crash rating. The D-Max holds a 5-star ASEAN NCAP result with 83.16 points, which is a strong score — but it was awarded in a January 2020 test on the 1.9L double cab, under a rating protocol that has since been superseded. A 5-star result from 2020 is not equivalent to a 5-star result under current rules; for contrast, the Yaris Cross’s 5 stars come from an August 2025 test under the present protocol. The D-Max’s score was genuinely good for its time. It’s just older than the badge implies.

What the LS-E does bring, and it’s worth naming, is a full ADAS suite — adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning and a 360-degree camera. That’s competitive kit. It’s simply concentrated in one variant.

Verdict: The Spreadsheet’s Pickup

The D-Max is the pickup you choose with a calculator. Fuel economy that led every diesel at the 2025 DOE Eco-Run, timing chains on both engines, a 10,000 km service interval with the first two visits free, cheap and plentiful parts, and an engine family with a genuine 300,000 km reputation. Add the lowest entry price in the segment at ₱978,000, and the total-cost-of-ownership case is the strongest here — which is exactly why it’s the default recommendation for people who use their truck to earn a living.

Where it asks something back: the warranty is the segment’s shortest at 3 years/100,000 km; the airbag count outside the LS-E is hard to justify at these prices; the crash rating is from a superseded protocol; the cabin trails the Ranger on polish; and the ride is honest about being a work truck. There’s also a 2026 update already previewed with reservations open, which makes right now an awkward moment to pay full price.

Buy it if running costs are the deciding factor, you’ll keep it long enough for fuel and service savings to compound, and you’re buying the LS-E or you’ve made peace with two airbags. Skip it if you want the longest warranty, the most modern safety kit across the range, or the most comfortable cabin in the class.

Cross-shopping? Our four-way shootout between the Hilux, Ranger, D-Max and Navara puts all four side by side on price, powertrain, warranty and dealer reach. And if the service jargon is still fuzzy — light versus heavy, what the casa is actually charging for — our guide to Philippine PMS pricing unpacks it stage by stage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ano ang PMS schedule ng Isuzu D-Max?

Every 10,000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first — dalawang casa visits lang kada taon. Libre pa ang unang dalawa: ang 1,500 km at 5,000 km check-ups ay walang bayad. Ibig sabihin, kalahati lang ng casa trips mo kumpara sa Toyota Hilux na 5,000 km ang cycle. Nasa itaas ang buong interval chart mula 1,500 km hanggang 80,000 km.

Magkano ang PMS ng Isuzu D-Max?

Mga ₱4,000–6,000 para sa light PMS kada 10,000 km, at tumataas papuntang ₱9,000–13,000 sa heavy o major stops. May isang PH breakdown na naglagay sa 20,000 km stop sa ₱12,494 (MT) at ₱12,259 (AT) — pansinin na mas mahal ang manual dahil sa transmission gear oil. Walang official published price list ang Isuzu Philippines; 'contact any Isuzu dealer' talaga ang sagot nila, kaya estimates ang lahat ng ito (July 2026).

Timing chain ba o belt ang Isuzu D-Max?

Chain — pareho ang 1.9L RZ4E at ang 3.0L 4JJ3. Walang scheduled timing belt replacement, kaya wala kang aabangang ₱20,000-plus na belt job. Ito ang malaking pagkakaiba nito sa Ford Ranger, na wet timing belt (belt-in-oil) ang gamit. Pero chain o belt man, iisa ang kondisyon: on-time oil change gamit ang tamang diesel-spec na grade.

Totoo ba ang 20 km/L ng D-Max?

Totoo — pero intindihin mo kung saan galing. Sa 2025 DOE Fuel Eco-Run noong Setyembre 24, ang D-Max LS-A 4x2 AT ay nag-record ng 20.63 km/Lge sa N1 category, at ito ang pinakamahusay na diesel doon. Controlled eco-run iyon: sanay na driver, steady speed, planadong ruta. Sa totoong buhay, umasa ka sa mga 15 km/L sa highway at mga 10 km/L sa siksikang city traffic — magaling pa rin para sa laki nito, pero hindi 20.

May DPF ba ang Isuzu D-Max sa Pilipinas?

Euro 4 'Blue Power' ang spec ng mga engine na binebenta dito, at karaniwang wala pang DPF hardware ang Euro 4 diesels sa merkadong ito — Euro 5 at Euro 6 markets tulad ng Australia at UK ang may DPF. Kaya karamihan sa mga DPF horror stories na mababasa mo online ay hindi galing sa PH-spec na trak. Hindi namin ito nakumpirma sa isang opisyal na dokumento ng Isuzu Philippines, kaya i-confirm mo pa rin sa dealer bago ka magbase ng desisyon dito.

May recall ba ang Isuzu D-Max sa Pilipinas?

Oo, meron — at totoo ito, hindi hula. Noong Mayo 8, 2023, nag-isyu ang Isuzu Philippines ng special service campaign para sa 694 na D-Max (at 1,579 na mu-X) na ginawa mula 2020 hanggang Oktubre 2022. Ang isyu: ang lower second steering shaft bolt ay posibleng hindi umabot sa tamang torque noong production, at maaari itong lumuwag. Libre ang repair. Kung nasa production window ang unit mo, ipa-check mo ang VIN sa kahit anong Isuzu dealer.

Ilan ang airbags ng Isuzu D-Max?

Dito nagkakaiba-iba, at malaki ang agwat. Ang top-spec na LS-E ang may pitong airbags. Ang lahat ng iba pa — kasama na ang LS-A Plus na aabot ng ₱1.88M — ay dalawa lang, driver at front passenger. Ang '7 SRS Airbags' na makikita mo sa marketing page ng Isuzu Philippines ay para sa LS-E, hindi sa buong linya. Kung safety kit ang priyoridad mo, tingnan mo ang brochure ng eksaktong variant, hindi ang model page.

Sulit pa bang bumili ng D-Max ngayon, o maghintay?

Depende sa timing mo. May bagong updated D-Max na ipinakita ang Isuzu sa PIMS noong Hunyo 2026 — bukas na ang reservations, at sa huling bahagi ng 2026 ang official launch. Bagong grille, bagong 18-inch alloys, 10-inch infotainment, at HD around-view camera na may underbody view; hindi nagbago ang 3.0L engine. Kung kaya mong maghintay ng ilang buwan, hintayin mo ang presyo. Kung hindi, gamitin mo ang paparating na modelo bilang pang-negotiate sa natitirang stock.
