Abit sceptical although I pray hard that in 5 yrs time, my Sonata will be able to maintain the value..haha..Even Hyundai also can't guranttee me wor..They still said H&T having an edge on 2nd hand value for sure  sad.gif

Well, I got poisoned by the Sonata look as well..and now I hv to pray even harder  sad.gif

Have to ask mah...otherwise very scary wor wth the previouys car resale value. i even re-check wth the 2nd car dealer that came to inspect my old car. He also assure me this latest gen Sonata will not be so bad but also saying that the value might not be as good as last gen Sonata

Reason- The old sonata having parts relibility, heavy FC & low demand. this gen Sonata diff liao..Wth conitune mthly sales >1000 units they can't even cope wth the demand and the survey in US named it as the 3rd or 4th most reliable car in the recent survey just a rank below Toyota & much higher than Honda.. So the figure in US speak for itself. Hyundai also suffered sales probolems in US years back but came back strong since the launching of this Sonata, the Tucson & Elantra

So hopefully this for sure will create a strong demand & thereafter maintaining the 2nd value as good as H&T  smile.gif (This is true haha)

yeah welcome to the kimchi land soon.. you will not regretting it & i dun coming from Nippon H car haha..This Evening coming doen from CH towards Penang, the smooth gliding down the CH-Spg Pulai is so trailing and tackling every curve at 90km/hr like peanut..Not even my older Cibik FD can do this..well except when I modified to sport suspension but the ride of the modified car was so hard & stiff and this Kimchi did it right wth similar to my heavully modified suspension civic FD but yet stiff soft & comfortable..Passing 3000km mark dy and the power getting better and I almost got back missing pick-up similar to my old ride but wth much better mid-range & hi-end power haha..

Autoworld forum on Sonata is not quiet..probably the title.."Booking List" not interest lotsa ppl haha

BTW, the waiting time getting longer! according to few forumers at autoworld, the AP problem probably the culprit!! Hyundai M'sia running low on AP as Ap following past year sales..Wth the high demand & lack of AP, they are having difficulties to cope up wth the demand
