Normal, nowadays all new cars if trade in within the 1st 3 years sure gone at least 30% of the value. If you dont drop so much, who want to buy used if i can just top up a bit for new car?

Nowadays, since all brands give huge rebates, the best deal, until everyone buys a brand new instead of used, that's why no demand for used affects the resale value.

Wow, that’s impressive mileage on both your Estima and your wife’s City! Just curious — isn’t it recommended for CVT to change the CVT belt around every 200,000 km? Did you carry out this service, or is it actually not necessary? Thanks.

My estima CVT belt I never change. Ask my mechanic he said Toyota CVT very tahan one. No issue don't gatal2 usik. Routine maintenance (oil change every 40K km) will be fine. I travelled a lot so only change every 60K km instead.

My wife city also never change CVT belt. Regular oil change every 40K km , and CVT filter every 80K km.

Both of us do drive fast, but we don't drive like maniacs that slammed the pedal from standstill.

Gearbox is one of the strongest components of a car and the only way people can messed it up so bad is if no proper maintenance done or they operate it like maniac.

Really depends, if the Estima/Alphad/Vellfire owner is kaki mod (like to mod big size sport rim) and kaki rempit (like to pedal to metal) the CVT gearbox can spoilt also. My mechanic encountered few owners around 100k also gearbox gg, mostly due to excessive mod & driver attitude.

I add in kaki mod with big sport rim as most gearbox spoilt my mechanic also seen a pattern that most of these MPV mod with bigger size sport rim. All these excessive mod add more stress to the drivetrain.

Just go to gb repair shop, see how many of CVT belt burst repair there. Doesn't matter which brand. I would say out of 10 gb repaired at the shop, 8 is the CVT gb while the balance is DCT dry clutch.

My mechanic got fix gearbox thus why i know, DCT wet or dry clutch when times come the mechatronic will fail, only dry type need to change the clutch as same as manual gearbox.

Not all CVT belt easy to burst, until today my mechanic after fix so many CVT gearbox Subaru & Audi CVT gearbox using chain type only 1 gearbox chain got problem (like fix almost 10+ gearbox only seen 1, the rest mostly due to valvebody/solenoid sensors)
