U know how much the LFA cost and how advanced its structure is? The problem is that brand perception tend to overrule everything. Thats the inferior thinking that an Italian supercar will always be better than a Japanese supercar. I think not necessary. U get my point?

word has it that the 208 (don’t know what variant) may be here next year. and these T salesmen, or better yet, these T jokers think that ‘thing’ they sell are even close to what the 208 has to offer….like, seriously? pffffttttt!

and also, it seems to be T’s SOP to ruthlessly shove down the RV factor to buyers. why would you want to buy a product from a company or salesmen which has simply nothing to offer competitively, i repeat, nothing to offer competitively at the moment; other than to scare you with the RV factor?

the answer is, unless you’re a T salesman, hope these guys live, breathe and die with that RV factor in their tiny cubicles since buyers have better offerings in Peugeot and other brands today!

Old Koreans, yes, the value is not as good as the new ones. But look at the new generations. Take the Forte for example. A typical car market would offer a 1.6, year 2010 for approx 65k, before negotiations. Mudah.my has all the proof there.

Still wanna cock around with your resale value? Well, again, i’m warning you, bring out your stupid talk, and we’ll beat up your comments like no other. Talk with your brain, not your bloody backside. My goodness.

Pugs are no longer the so called solid cars that is perceived to be tougher than the 3 tonne lorry.

Buyers now are even more afraid to buy pre-owned european cars, coz they are prone to breakdowns, parts are scarce and expensive. That’s why Pugs resale value sux, alongside kimchis

If you think everything European (in this case conti car) is superior, you better be a slave to them or smell their fart la!. You mention Japanese cars are inferior to Conti? It depends which segment market and brand positioning the marques go for. Eg. Is a Lexus LFA really that bad compared to a Lamborghini Murcielago? Is a Volkswagen Passat really superior compared to Mazda 6? Hmmm…

P/S: I’m not jap car fanboy. :peace:

If The car is so incompatible with other brand, sooner people will drop it, you expect the high value on second hand in the next few years? Now they have higher RV, but they are begin to lose it.

To buy a car with high price, empty spec, ugly look, when friend see your new car and ask: why you buy this car???

I better go ride a bicycle

I mean, I’ve been waiting for the 208 since last year! No news of it coming to Malaysia at all. Best I heard are speculations saying it’ll come next year.

Don’t even mention the XY. Just bring the normal 208 variant and I’ll be a happy dude.

honda civic 2009 (1.8) new 115k now resale value average 85k. 2009 altis also around the same value i guess.

no VW in the same category to compare.

gap for euro and japanese cars is getting smaller. gone are the days where japanese car are bullet proof. gone are the days where euro cars refuse to start and leaking fluids every other day.

Malaysian buyers OTOH are getting knowledgable. Know what they want instead of “my uncle says that car no good one”.

Healthy improvement. Now we need more options with good after sale service. Neighbour downsouth can be a good example. Maybe we’ll get there in 5-10 years time.

The Italians on the other hand are known for their styling. The French has a bit of both.. You gotta throw your “re-sale value ” meter out the door when you make a comment on styling..
