nice..but how does from 386 to 615 = 59%?

should be around 40% only max

That car had a bad reputation, plus value drops further because the successor is out already, and it is so much nicer.

Ha, just very busy these days. More important things to do, like binge watching Netflix. Not sure I'll be here often. But I was curious what's happening in Malaysia these days.

His strategy is sound, but his pricing expectations aren't. Yes, the price will drop. But with the previous gen 3008, it also dropped because that car was end of life. Outdated model, end of life, successor is much nicer. Then add bad reputation, dealers trying to get rid of old stock (thus lowering the price for brand new cars) and you'll get a massive price drop. In 2 years the new 3008 will still be a modern, up to date car that looks great, and might have a better reputation by then (if it is a better car). So don't expect the prices to drop that much.

True. I wish it was that way in Germany... if you factor in the discounts dealers will give you on new cars anyway, a second hand car won't save you much.

But yes, in Malaysia its different. But... I didn't check, but if after 2 years the price of a 3008 is 45 to 50k, then new it must have been around 90 to 100k? Was it really that cheap to begin with? Isn't the new 3008 around 150k? Then after 2 years it won't be around 50k, but around 75k...

Sadly thats still have certain people who think their car would'nt loss much value after a few year due to their brand hierarchy. No one in the world will pay more than 50% of the original value of the purchase for a car that pass their 3rd birthday. Thats including all the Japanese brands. Let that sink in.

CX-5 so-so la for RV.....though the owners may want to think otherwise...

When buying a used Peugeot, go visit Ken of Bros Auto. He can tell what's wrong with your car just by looking at it.

Of course, this fella is always busy. Calling is useless. Go find him and ask.

PETALING JAYA: Following its acquisition of the Peugeot business in Malaysia, Bermaz Auto Bhd (BAuto) head of risk management and investor relationship Tony Toh said the company will first focus on improving after-sales service, then after two years will start looking into efforts to ramp up sales.

He said dealers, technicians and mechanics will be sent for extensive training to ensure they can provide high quality service to their customers.

“Our biggest challenge right now is to educate dealers in the Peugeot network.

“Part of our key criteria is keeping our customers happy, and to do that we need to sort out issues in the brand’s after-sales services,” he said.

This is the same method they employed to turn around Mazda, which at the point of acquisition had only five dealers nationwide, and BAuto managed to increase the number to about 70, running smoothly with minimal problems.

Toh is confident the company will be able to replicate this success with both Peugeot and the recently acquired Kia as well.

“Our main objective is to fix the problems by improving after-sales and enhancing training, which we are confident we are able to do,” he said.

Toh also clarified that BAuto will not be involved in the assembly line at the Peugeot plant in Gurun, Kedah, which will continue to be operated by Groupe PSA whereas BAuto’s role is in sales....
