QUOTE(gunplakk @ Mar 8 2013, 11:15 PM) not comparing apples with apples... one is 136K another one is 154K... should compare to something that of similar value e.g. Honda Civic 2.0 FD... purchased : 128K in 07 Sold for : 75K in 2013 6 yrs depreciation... taking financing out of the equation, and looking at it as a pure P&L point of view.... the Civic lost 8833 RM per annum vs 14K of the peugeot  Bro, it is comparing apple to apple where both cars fall under D-segment category. Your Civic is C-segment la, that is apple and orange comparison.

QUOTE(gunplakk @ Mar 9 2013, 05:43 AM) well, in terms of segment maybe but here you talking devaluation, so it should be value based. doing it like this seems a little unfair to the Camry anyway, we cannot control how people think whether they buy their own car based on RV or not, as what others said in this topic, is your money and your own satisfaction, the joy of driving the car you like. If you can afford on a high startup, high monthly instalment, go for it. On the otherside, RV could be one factor why people choose the car, but there are also other factors may have cause them make the decision eg, The reputation of brand, easy to find spare parts whether is original or oem, a lot of specialist out there and so forth. So, don't take it too seriously or personally on this calculation This post has been edited by joseph.lim: Mar 9 2013, 12:01 PM
