Ceh, then from your exaple, there is no doubt in the resale value already, then ppl here dont have to talk about resale value anymore. it will have same or very similar depreciation as the hot selling jap car.

ah. i guess you completed the whole puzzle. the monthly difference in installment can be saved up as well. so I agree with you now. time to lay out a spreadsheet for the exact simulation.

though, different people may have slightly different situation to consider. i may actually still prefer to keep the cash for emergency, and so find a way to strike a balance. i kinda belive the difference in amount is minimal and other non monetary factors can easily out weight..

but you are right... thanks.....

If pay cash for the car and put the monthly instalment of 950 into FD every month for 5 years will give you net return of RM4568.

Scenario A: Pay 50k cash and put 50k into FD. Every month pay 950 for 5 years. Net is 963.70

Scenario B: Pay 100k cash. Every month put 950 into FD 3%. Net is 4568

Difference between Scenario A and B : RM3604

where are we heading now ???? FD ?? CAMRY ?? SONATA ??

FD2 type R...

Feb coming soon, who can confirm the date?
Rm110k - 1.8 acceptable?

Hope bro fluidic can has some clues next week..

mark ur calendar on 9th feb...

Definitely Proton would feel happy with the price they code for Elantra

if 1.8 goes for 110k then sorry, i have to look else where edy. So sad, have high expectation on this car and waited for some time.

i'm ok if the 1.6 high spec is around 90-95k though. no?

my cousin who js came back from Hyundai showroom in Butterworth, told the same thing.
rm110k seems reasonable for CKD unit when compare to Civic CKD 1.8....5-8k cheaper but extra spec/gadget worth more than 5k...

but for some ppl it still may not be reasonable due small diff albeit the spec.

they are not happy because forte 2.0 is 98k and cruze 1.8 is 100k ish.

forte 2.0 has 6 airbags and auto aircon autolight auto wiper and reverse camera.not sure whats the spec for elantra yet

Really? I hear someone told me before 9th Feb, but no sure.

1. Rm110K not worth 1.8? Kindly give me some suggestion of others Car.

2. If 1.6 Full spec around RM100k is acceptable?

I still think if u pay more around 110k for elantra.. Still not competitive enough.. Ppl still arent dumb.. Rather add few K get altis or civic.. Cause at the end of 5 year term using the car.. When u sell it off.. U still win ppl.. Cause u get to retain ur car value..

I'm taking 5 years as an example.. Even if we use it for another 7-9 years.. It is still gonna be same..

Nvm la.. Just wait for the official pricing.. =)

wads on 9th?
