I will buy if below 100k.. which i think.impossible..

still hoping for the best in terms of pricing... 

Where did you place your booking?

Judging from the feedback so far, you may have to start filling up the form already 

Or 2.0 Forte? jal2005 are you having problems with yr forte? It´s a 1.6 or 2.0?

Bro, you must  be earning good money. Just 2 years change car aleady.

Dont opp for 1.6, it's a bit underpower, 2.0 used the engine same as Inspira and Lancer.

Have u asked SA how much you can trade in your 2 years car?
If you borrowed maximum amount last time, then you still need to pay bank the difference right. Plus the 10% for the new car,that is a lot
Keep the Forte lah since you are still happy with it.

Changing cars every 2 years? Why bother wasting money like this? Its either ure really very rich or just not financially prudent. Focus on property. Cars are always a losing commodity.

so u wanna sell off your current ride?have u checked the value of forte now?2nd hand value of korean sucks bro

already checked bro, my boss wanna sell his forte bought last year 80k..now when he wanna sell,can get 60k only..

I sold my last two cars and another two for my family through mudah. Direct buyers all of them. The paperwork is actually nothing much la, if you wan I have a friend who can do all the running and paperwork for less than RM500, including helping your buyer to process the bank loan. Honda Accord 2.4 iVTEC, Civic FD and two Kelisas. All so-called "hot models", still I ended between 3-7k richer. Worth it loh if you know how to play the game. Otherwise end up losing a lot of money to used car dealers. Cannot blame them la, cari makan mah.

Nowadays, used car dealers are not very interested in taking cars because they have so many unsold stocks, many prefer to do trade in with their existing stocks.

Let's see. Bought new at 81,800 I presume, the older 1.6 SX 4-speeder. Deduct the insurance and road tax, nett buying price around RM79k. Dunno got any discounts or not.

Anyway, the used car dealer takes it for 60k. He sells it for 66k. Buyer pays 66k plus ins+runner fees+processing fees etc, end up paying 68k++.

You don't really know the system. New cars always put in the insurance etc so buyers can get a higher loan. Used cars always take away the ins etc so the selling price seems low.

If your boss can sell direct, he only lost 13k which is just slightly higher than the "hot" cars which lose around 10k after the first year.

1 yr old cars lose the most because of the cost of borrowing. New cars have lower interest while used cars are usually 1-2% higher than new car interest. So in order to make a 1 yr old car attractive to a prospect, the difference in repayment between a new car and a 1 yr old car must be more than RM100 per month, otherwise who dafak will buy a used car? Unnerstan now?

Normally you can't take a straight line depreciation method cos the first year the car will lose more, then tapers off from 2nd yr onwards.

Ya, the Civic FD/FD2 and Myvi are the country's two best performing residual value cars ever! Only in Msia, mind you.

Wont la, the spec for 1.6 and 1.8 so much different. It must not more than 95k for high spec,

it's not why Korean cars resale value is bad, but why the Civic's resale value is so good? a depreciation of 16K over 2 years for a 131K car...

why would ppl even allow this?

y the price is up?
because hyundai saw the demand on this page,

I rather get a japanese still for the price....

Do u know anything bout taxation on motor vehicles in Malaysia? People dont THINK cars here are expensive. They ARE expensive. Resale value is more important here because of the initial high prices ure paying for cars.

A new BMW 328i costs only US$40K in America. (Dont do a currency exchange as u are not a tourist). So with such low prices would anybody bother about resale value? Surely not. But we can't say the same about Malaysia can we? Our cars cost approx 6X more than many other countries.

100% Agree

Maybe one fine day we all we be treated as EQUAL citizens, but I see that day as very, very far away...

I digress too...maaf2

buy prius C la, might be below 100k

When U dont like what others say in this forum, U just undervalue their opinion & say they won paralympic.
But true truth is U are not really understand about ur post especially about COE and Singapore policy.
COE is not fixed as it's an open tender and more variable compare to Malaysian tax.
Generally their car price higher than Malaysia except for luxury car bcoz any car above 1.6cc can apply for COE category B or open.
Mean that Elantra 1.8cc or Forte 2.0cc will get same COE like Merz S500L or a Ferrari. However still most Singaporean buy normal like us such as Civic, Altis, Vios, Accord etc rather than buy luxury car.
That's why also Hyundai Singapore decided not to bring 1.8cc Elantra coz it will sell around SD 130K-150K which will be too high based on current COE.

sonata 2011 showroom car 115k, elantra price @110k how =="

Read my previous posts. Ive explained all this before.

Imagine a couple who've been together for years. Hyundai is the man, Hyundai owners collectively is the woman. Now imagine that at the beginning, the man wooed the woman with plenty of promises and his dashing Korean good looks. The woman finally agrees to take the man home to live together as a couple. It was good for the first few years, then suddenly, that handsome Korean man this woman married turned out to be a real liability, being a guzzler and always costs a bomb with every trip to the clinic (service centre).

Worse still, her friends all married Japanese men and report that their husbands are generally problem free, just like their fathers and their fathers before them. They ridicule this woman for having been sweet talked into marrying a Korean man who's only good on the outside but rotten to the core. It's become so bad that when she tried to trade him in for a better husband, the husband traders didn't want to take in any Korean men.

One day, she meets a new man. A young, extremely handsome Korean man with plenty of muscles and a long and sturdy gearstick. He tries to seduce her, but in the back of her mind, the rotten memories of her previous experience with a Korean man has left her jaded with anything Korean. Nonetheless, this new handsome man tells her that he's different, that he doesn't need to visit the clinic as often as previous generation Korean men, that he will give her the ultimate ride of her life!

In the back of her mind, she is thinking to herself, "Should I trust this new Korean guy, or should I listen to all my other friends and go with a Jap instead?. A Japanese man does nothing for me, but after all the pain that I've been through, will I risk it all and go Korean again?"

In the meantime, this clueless new Korean man who thinks so highly of himself, and for good reason, since he's a much improved version of his predecessor and knows that the woman will not go wrong in choosing him, refuses to oversell himself to her, and instead waits patiently at the side, hoping that the woman will eventually come to her senses and make the right choice. He is unaware of the personal conflict brewing within this woman, and the fact that she is really keen to take him in, and all he needs to do to convince her, is to....
