Hyundai Sonata

[Kxbc]

Congrats on getting your new ride. It looks very well maintained in the pic.

 

I never knew a 2-3 yr old Sonata is slightly more than $40k only. Good deal. If I had known, may have considered it 2 years ago. But the FC sure is a killer for me. Maybe I'll wait till a CNG refill station is set up near my place.

 

That day I sat in a new Sonata cab back from the airport. Wow! very powerful. Engine just hums along with some road noise. Very smooth ride.

ya if only sonata has rear aircon and multi function steering wheels

then it'll be as good as a camry

 

 

FC is about same as camry. ard 9++km/litre

[Urns]

No way!!

[Ahyoo2002]

quite worrying if keep on stall.

 

Even the Chevy Optra CNG, the Straits Time report said it stalled 4 time during the test drive

 

If not, I should consider CNG soon.

 

Your Picnic is perfect for CNG as it has a sunken boot, you can hide the tank inside.

[Ahyoo2002]

$40K + is definitely a good buy.

 

This shows Korean car really no resale value

[Kxbc]

I was not thinking about resale value. If can drive all the way till 10 years old with no major issues, should be a steal with annual depreciation approx $4.3k pa ($45k less OMV of $15k divide by 7 remaining years). This $4.3k is like the annual depre for my 1.5l Latio. But 2.4l vs 1.5l. I lose hands down.

cannot hiam lah. 3 yr old camry where got so cheap.

it was new model 2 years ago (started abt 2005)..

only now then can get this price..

somemore comfort is using it for cab.. if not, how to steal at this price?

[Kxbc]

Then HHH kio dio gu lan liao lor.

[Ahyoo2002]

That is what I said, very good value for a 2.4l car

 

My current car depreciation per year is $6.9k, even if I drive till 10 years, and it is 1.6L Jap

You can actually get a 2 1/2 yr old Sonata for less than 40k. There are 2 owners advertising their Sonatas for 38-39k in Sgcarmart. One of them only has a mileage of 42k. With some bargaining should be able to get it for 36k or so. A repossessed Feb 2006 2.4 Sonata was recently auctioned for about 31k + in Sgcarmart. So you know what kind of prices dealers are offering to these owners (max 35k) and what kind of profits they are making trying to sell it above 40k.

[Friendstar]

must look at condition also

 

HHH got 17 inch rims. and lid spoiler etc

 

nothing too fantastic

but he felt that the deal was good and he's comfortable with it.

 

that is the most important

[Kxbc]

Your depre very high. What 1.6l Jap car you driving? Your car price is around $84k (assume OMV $15k)?

[Ahyoo2002]

I bought my car a few year back and you are right, it cost about $80k

[Kxbc]

OT abit but everytime I see your avatar, I see until .

[Nav14]

I am not referring to HHH. But in any case how much does 17" rim & spoiler cost.

[Hiphiphoray]

I think the deal overall is acceptable. For my trade-in lancer, they took in @ 20k. Most likey they will convert it into a normal plate which will cost 13k. Hence value = 33k. For a similar lancer @ the same age in SGmart, its selling at 35k. Plus they have to do up the lancer for sale. Dont think they earn much from my lancer.

U have to let them earn something right ? They also have familes to feed. 45k for the Sonata, is oredi a good deal to me. Whatever the profits they earn, i have no problems with it. Have to give & take rah.

 

Of course we can get a better price direct from owners, but i do not want to go through the paper work myself. I've oredi tons of KIV work at my office.

don't make me shy
