I think ppl care too much about resale value, and deviated from the purpose they wanna buy a car. They care less about safety, and everything .
1. Resale ( cos they wanna change car even when they cannot really afford that)
Usually only cheaper car have better resale value . Altis and VIos may cost the same after 5 yrs.
And inspira is same like saga and wira, all are lancer. Same resell as perdana. Wait perdana is skd, everything from japan u know
Bro ..
i know what are u trying to express, but u did it wrongly .. let me try explain for you.. which i really agree with u
Expensive cars .. have better resale value ... Yes, you read it right, BETTER resale value.. But it is not the end of story,
Eventhough better resale value, but yet you pay more during the time it service you.
An Example .. a Honda city 5 years ago cost 85k .. including loan it maybe 95k or 100k .. 5 years later .. you sell at 50k ..
A Cheaper car .. Proton wira , 5 years ago cost 45k .. including loan .. around 55k .. 5 years later only can sell 25k ...
Comparing both resale value.... 50k (city) vs 25k (wira) ... City wins ..
but comparing the lost ... 100k - 50k (city) = 50k ... 55k - 25k = 30k (wira) ...
Although u pay GAIN back more from the city , but u pay less for the wira ....
** I know some anti fella will come bashing saying you will spend a lot to fix the wira ... but common .. 20k extra .. fix my aRse also cukup la ..
Btw, dun la go bash me on maintenance pula ... TOPIC is regarding RESALE VALUE ..
