QUOTE(westlife @ Jun 7 2011, 08:46 AM) looks like a lot who got the car already then worry abt the resale value now. think a lot of impulsive buyer for this car due to the fact of no tax and made in japan car. Agree.personally i bought the car without worrying the resale value as i love the car (had taken into account that the worst case scenario the car has no resale value at all, of course it won't be worst til that extent). if want to talk logically, think most owners like myself definitely are not going (or should say not able) to sell the car within the next few years soon. As frankly speaking, msian does not appreciate new technology therefore in terms of resale value, b4 u get the car, u should already take this into account. if cannot get good resale value, u can only suck thumb and continue to live with the car. I have no problem with the car. I'm lovin it !!! Good acceleration. Good mileage. Good styling. Good tech. Good brand. Good PRICE !!! Simple words, find me any imported Japanese car with Insight's specs at price tag of 98K. We compare then. As for Insight vs Prius. Its getting overboard, why compare 98k to RM139k? Then why dont they buy a Vios and complain doesn't ride or perform as nice as the Camry or a City to a Accord! Shouod compare something within the price range i.e. CKD Vios/City RM90K vs CBU Insight 98K? |

Rule of thumb, supply vs demand.
Now demand for Insight is so excessive, somebody try to soften the demand by increasing the price. |

QUOTE(Lucky_Wishes @ Jun 7 2011, 11:08 AM) Just received call from my SA, the reason of the tax cert not approve is due to the IMA battery with this new batch which installed with Civic hybrid battery. There are 8 insights in their store facing this issue due to shortage of insight battery. He said I will receive a letter Honda Malaysia these few days on the delaying. Either wait for insight battery or new batch with the right battery. Really bad luck for me... CODE IMA battery The Insight’s IMA is powered by a flat, nickel metal hydride battery pack located below the cargo floor between the rear wheels. The 84 module battery is manufactured by Sanyo Electric[34] and provides a nominal system voltage of 100.8 volts with a nominal capacity of 5.75 ampere-hours.[35] The power density of the modules is 30 percent greater than in the current-generation Civic Hybrid. The battery is recharged automatically by scavenging engine power, when needed, and by regenerative braking when the car is decelerating. The power management electronics, battery modules, and cooling system are all self-contained within the IMA battery pack. SOS make sure u get the insight battery. |

Lithium Ion?coz it would be stupid of Honda to put the old civic Hybrid battery into insight...it is heavier and should bigger in size (I can sense some bullshit info given by your SA) for AP, do they even look at the battery which is pack and hidden away? |

QUOTE(seejovin @ Jun 6 2011, 11:08 PM) i love this car....but i'm concerned about the resale value I didnt see the IMA approach as 'oldest'. I think it is more practical, logical, economical. The only thing that they'll replace in near future is battery capacity/material and motor capacity. this is the oldest hybrid technology which means the chances it will be replaced will be high? if let's say i'm planning to use this car for 5-7 years.....not that i don't like it but there's always room for improvement right, what do you think the second hand cars market response will be? Internal combustion engine has been here for 100 years with not much evolution. It still cylinders with pistons. Slotting an electric motor in between engine and gearbox is the easiest and more practical way to boost efficiency. 90% match Toyota's hybrid synergy drive which is more complex. At the end of the day, if both cars breakdown, honda IMA should be the easier/cheaper system to repair compared to Toyota HSD. Toyota have the honour to come up with complex system as they are leading the market. To put it simple, we will appreciate Insight even more if the fuel price go up to, say, RM3.00 per liter. That time, people will ask whether u want to sell ur car to them |

I also agree with u, Honda Japan cannot simply change the spec of the car, its like cheating customer, a big mistake that a company would do.coz it would be stupid of Honda to put the old civic Hybrid battery into insight...it is heavier and should bigger in size (I can sense some bullshit info given by your SA) for AP, do they even look at the battery which is pack and hidden away?
