Take your time... buyer's market naman, eh. For a quick guide, buy one or two issues of buy and sell and peg the normal fair price for these two cars. (it'll be on the low end of the average price range there... most asking prices are about 50k too high)
I wouldn't go for the Revo, as you're paying as much as you'd pay for a secondhand car for a truck that'll still drink gas. Don't get me wrong, the Revo rides better than some other AUVs, but the gas consumption kind of kills off one of the reasons to get an AUV in the first place.
The Adventure sounds kind of expensive for a vehicle with over 100k on the clock.
Look around, there might be better deals for your money out there.

we decided na ung revo nlng e since makinis pa. Malakas ba tlga sa gas? pag gumamit ng fuel saver?
also upon checking dito sa LTO paranaque, naka-lock daw pala sa QC main branch ung OR saka CR ng sasakyan. Sabi nung pinagtanungan namin, ok naman daw as naoopen ung record, since mga penalty lang daw ang nakikita dun sa record na un kung ano man un. Tama ba un? should we still go for the revo? I have 2 hours to decide waaaaaaa
go for the revo bet the two if you're in a hurry but better to think
more than once esp you're dealing to pre-owned vehicle.
remember nasa huli pagsisisi.

hindi effective ang mga fuel saver gadgets, baka masira pa ang auto...
OK na rin yan basta kaya mo yung gas mileage niya, if I"m not mistaken, 6-8km/l ang consumption niya...
oh ok good thing you told me cuz we're planning to buy the fuel saver pa naman kaagad in case matuloy ung sa revo. Pero 6-8km/L? wow malakas pala parang expedition. Ano pde gawin dun para maging matipid sa gas? How bout additives?
There's only so much you can do about gas consumption. Better tires, tuning, good sparkplugs, thinner oil (10w40 or 5w40), adjusted timing... but it'll still consume a lot more fuel than a diesel AUV.
Fuel savers are a big no-no.
Ganyan talaga yung mga 2.0 na AUV/SUV/CUV... the CR-V drinks badly, too.
As long as there's nothing wrong with it, mechanically, it's okay if you can afford the gas. Medyo mas maganda naman ang ride niya kaysa sa Crosswind. Pero be sure to clear up the papers of the car before saying yes. Mahirap yun kung may problema.

There's no magic bullet for fuel consumption. No bolt on devices or fuel/oil additives will improve your fuel consumption. At best they do nothing, worst case they can do damage.
If you're that concerned about fuel consumption, get the Adventure. But if you don't drive a lot or don't plan to keep the car for a long time, the Revo would probably be better because it's cheaper.
If you do get the Revo, first thing to remember is that it's NOT a car. First gear is there to get you moving. I know lots of people with Revos drive theirs like their cars and the engine revs like crazy, that's not how the Revo's engine is tuned.

ganyan talaga pag gas na AUV. ang exped ata higher pa ang consuption 5-6 km/l, kung gagamitin mo araw araw tapos hindi puno, mejo lugi ka nga sa gas. pero kung weekend / family trip car. ok na din since ang dami mo masasakay.
tip lang.. pag di alam kung ano problema ng papeles, wag mo na bilin. baka magsisi ka lang. dami pa naman jang available..

this is true.. usually pag humps or corners, akyatan, naka segunda ka pa rin. 1st gear pag galing lang sa total stop.

Reason: added quote from AO
Ang alam ko sa Revo, 7-9km/l ang highway tapos 4-6km/l lang ang all city driving.
For the record, our Revo gets more than 10km/L on the highway. 1.8 Gas Manual. Our best was 11.9km/L, highway, fully loaded. We normally get 8, mixed traffic/highway.
