Cause u pay 10k more for Civic but your resale value is 30k more then Korean cars. Overall gain 20k.

So you need Korean cars to be EVEN cheaper to make up for the 2nd hand value loss  whistling.gif

anyway for those who are so concerned about the resale value, i have a piece of advice, dont buy if you are so worried about the value.
if u stretched yourself to 9 yrs loan, you cant talk about resell value, probably a lol.
if you have enough bullet to change car in 2 years, you dont care about those, you only buy what you like.

korean car are cheaper but it come with more tech and gadget inside which will cost you quite a lot if you are going to install it outside.
tiny difference of resale value doesn't matter to me because I am already using those "overall gain 10k-20k" the first day when i bought my car cheaper 10k-20k.
a japanese badge sure cost a lot notworthy.gif

Bro... just because I have extra 20k in my pocket.. does that mean I have to take it out, go to the river, and throw it in? U think those rich people get rich by spending as they like without proper planing/judgement?

Anyway, buy whatever u like mate, I have korean, jap, local cars... u dont see me rushing to defend hyundai's pricing policy just because I own one.

if u think like that, if u think it is throw into river then keep it, nobody force you, no big deal.

maybe your rich definition and mine is totally different, also the value of your 20k worth to me. well, i guess it depends on financial ability and age.

also, those can change car in 2-3 years, need not to be rich, i only mentioned enough bullet. 20k, it can only buy above average 3-4 bags a year.

you might want to read again my earlier post if you dont understand, it is a fair statement without aiming at anything.

probably you are right, since u have korean, japanese and local cars. as you must in some age to own so many cars, so you must be rich, and u must be clever.

forte will facelift in 2013, totally different look.

newer car really push forte aside now, especially if u put forte and elantra side by side, even though they used the same platform.

hyundai being kia big brother, suppose it will be classier, better equipped and better quality if compared.

Also, in some ways the Elantra is more suited to the younger set who want a racy looking car while the Forte appeals to those who are a bit more laidback and don't mind conservative styling but more features.

The thing about buying cars is you should buy when you need to, not wait until the cows come home, for there will always be a better model down the road. Just decide what you want and bite the bullet.

totally agree bro!
i didnt wait for elantra because i prefer more act polite look, and my face cannot act cool also, plus im going to reach 30 in few years time.
i didnt wait or consider much when i get my car, i only have it in mind after i read and survey the known problems and details.

the only thing i do is calculate is the scenario if i want to sell, change or buy another car 2-3 years later. also, a budget every month if i ter-get a baby. biggrin.gif
i decided to get it without hesitation, since i already prepared for it.

biggrin.gif too bad its a P badge.

guess so for most.
my blm gave me a so so impression since got irritating rattling sound at door.
(the same sound appeared on my new car and i easily solved it, so i guess i probably blamed my blm wrongly)
if i drive persona, i will have confident to get back to P since it is nvh is good. but then, if i owned it i wont change car so fast.

so many politics and ppl can object the pricing, Naza pulled off a miracle to be able to sell forte 2.0 below 100k then.

ya its a miracle lol for a 2.0 c segment.
the 1.6, are said to be 65k but of course others complain so no way to get that.
