Yeah, saw it a few months ago. It does look great in the flesh.

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 Outdated model, end of life, successor is much nicer.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...
