I mean, Saga’s 1st batch was about RM18k when launched in 1985, now only increase to 39-43k++ (about double). But this model’s price increased almost five-fold already within the same time span. I know there’s some justification like major advancement in comfort, technology and overall spec, but somehow I still feel that there are many desireable models in this country that quickly become more and more out of reach for average workers here.
