QUOTE(nataliephy @ May 8 2013, 09:42 PM) What about the resale value? Is it going to be ok since Peugeot is not that common in Malaysia? Just like any other France brands, unfortunately the resell value is going to drop like a stone! I think just in the first year it'll drop at least by 15-20K already. Just take example of the 308, when new around 120K then in just about 3 yrs old already drop to just around 60-70K! So if you want to buy Peugeot, I suggest you buy used one after 2-3yrs old.

QUOTE(kadajawi @ May 8 2013, 10:21 PM) Btw., fuel consumption is EXTREMELY important to Europeans. Remember they pay around RM 6-7 per liter. Yes, they may earn more, but it's still a very important factor. In JB I also see more Fiestas than 2s, though there are more and more Mazdas overall. B segment cars usually don't drop nearly as much as C or worse yet D segment cars. The Fiesta seems quite stable in terms of RV? Also the 308 was hurt by gearbox problems with earlier batches, so that drives down RV too. IMHO it is too early to predict. But if I had to, I'd say for the time being (until people get more safety conscious) it won't be as good as Vios and City (though the current Vios may drop quite a bit when the facelift/new model (whatever it is) arrives). But RV probably won't be horrible, perhaps on a similar level to the Fiesta, 2, ... It is a rather desirable car after all, people are digging it. Not just gearbox but also camshaft problems. Other Peugeots' RV historically also drop like a stone, maybe in nominal value not as much as C segment but in percentage is almost the same drop.
