QUOTE(Faint @ Dec 16 2011, 09:47 AM) Maybe they are scared can't sell, just like the Sonata 2.4; can hardly see any on the road.Which brings to mind that the majority of Sonata owners are most probably value minded ppl. On top of that, at the current moment any car above 2-litres (in the used car market) is very hard to sell and are priced around the same as their 2.0 cousins. IOW, ppl are getting quite worried about FC. Too fukken bad our petrol can't support GDI, otherwise we could write a petition and request for them to bring in the 2.0T GDI |

QUOTE(btfan @ Dec 15 2011, 12:57 AM) A person paying for a RM50K-RM70K for a car may not be paying much attention at the depreciation rate but a person spending around RM140K will definitely think twice. Even a mere 9% depreciation a year will mean a lot that's why resale value is serious business in Malaysia. erm........I think pricing it at RM130K-RM140K ranges will be a tough sale even if it's a good car. Of course, there will always be a group who always buy during launches but looking at it a year or two later, will these sales be sustainable if it is priced too highly? QUOTE(geforce88 @ from some other thread) we buy car to drive and enjoy, NOT buy car thinking when wanna sell it / how much can sell .Added on December 16, 2011, 10:16 am QUOTE(gregy @ Dec 16 2011, 04:16 AM) I for one am hoping that this mentality continues for a bit longer, so that we can still enjoy Korean cars at gooding prices Inspira come in nice nice also people give baseless bashing. as long as Naza / Proton / Korean brands involved - a bunch of naysayers will be around as well. |

QUOTE(gregy @ Dec 15 2011, 05:59 PM) No need for the knee jerk reaction and start talking gibberish lol... I think you better stick to a Myvi. Best resale value. The new one Lagi Best resale value. Nuff said... Knee-jerk reaction? People merely pointed out that too high a price will make it a tough sell in this market and then you just came barging in with your "analysis" on resale value for a Japanese car. So I guess when you're losing in terms of rational arguments you resort to childish retorts? How old are you? 15? But I do guess it's my fault trying to reason with someone who is obviously mentally-challenged. QUOTE(turbocharged @ Dec 15 2011, 11:27 AM) actually, different segment has different mentality. You may try browsing at other forums catering for premium marques and you see people are still bothered about resale values. A good case in point is Audi. Seen as a better car elsewhere but it's not selling much here. The reason should be obvious but somehow it's too difficult to understand for certain people here.i think sub 70k and above 200k segment will not care about resale too much. |

Hi all, I just got a call from an SA from Taman Maluri showroom, and apparently Naza is only bringing in the 2.0 model priced at RM140k-145k (with confirmation from HQ). They are trying to price it at Camry 2.0 and Accord 2.0's value, how ludicrous!

Not a complete surpirse. Camry is priced at 145/155/175 for 2.0E,G and 2.4 respectively. Looking at the leaked specs from Paul Tan and assuming there is only one variant offered by Naza, then it should be compared with the high spec Camry 2.0G. The price gap is between 10-15k, so make your choice if you want a very sporty K5 which is 10-15k cheaper or a Camry 2.0G.

From a "lousy distributor that sells lousy car cheap, and fudges you up by slashing prices for old models that couldn't sell" to "greedy lousy distributor that sells great cars expensive, but fudges it up again with lousy service"? naza is determined not to please everyone by cheapen their image and price. a few years down the road, the impression of the public will change.

oh, i mean, the turnover rate of good after sales ppl are very high.
so you will always see jokers around. and if i'm not mistaken, naza is not paying good money, thus you see a lot of jokers there come on, who wanna work for naza? go work for honda la, perodua la. toyota la. |
