Nice car....love to have it but too pricey...

and as other LYN'ers mentioned, for that kind of price only married adults can consider buying 70-100k car but they rather have sedan to carry their families.

The HB version well suited for a youngster like me tongue.gif however in M'sia average young working adult can't afford >50k car sad.gif

Got this in their website...

Well, many. I'm 25 and most of my friends around my age can afford 70-100k car and we don't plan to get married as yet. It depends on what field you are in.

Good for you but how many of us are earning more than RM5k per month around that age bracket. Unless living with family and your salary is only to pay car loan and entertainment then you can afford to buy car around the 70-100k bracket wink.gif

Yup, also depends on what field we are working in. If O&G, no need to say anything la.

I also can afford to get this car but i would be sacrificing alot of other important things like investment, insurance and savings sad.gif

ford...........no 2nd hand value

laugh.gif typical M'sian mentality.

Only in Malaysia but definitely better than other brands like T&H can offer around the price wink.gif

For me, i choose a car not based on resale value but based on the pleasure i can gain from driving it biggrin.gif

Not a fanboy of T&H and myself driving a proton. Just wanted to highlight that if you are planning to change cars every 5 years, second hand value is important and maybe that is why many go for T&H.

But if you don't mind driving the same car for 9 - 12 years, then don't bother about second hand value.

I'm wondering if this car is considered an upgrade to my City '08.

The City 08 is already good for me and in fact I prefer it to the latest City. But I've always liked a hatchback and this Fiesta looks wicked!

Of course wink.gif

This car more suited to a person who love spirited driving + love to chop hill wub.gif

You want resale value go buy UMW Toyota share, sure go up and giving you dividend periodically.

Any common car, be it a Toyota value also drop, if a car second hand value is so good why not the buyer just get a new one since second hand car loan comes with higher interest rate?

A check on Mudah show that Swift Sport 2008 is selling at 75-80k region, quite fair for a 2 year old car which was selling at 94888 that time

Swift Sport is nice NA car for Peksan..but price is sweat.gif

I haven't driven Fiesta yet, so hard to know whether it's on par with Swift Sport or not.
