car50 Twincharged August 17, 2019 Share August 17, 2019 Non AD servicing not so bad All cars depreciate steeply, even for the popular contis like Merc and BM, 3-4 years old, dealers offer almost half price Volvos are good solid cars, but you need a deep pocket to maintain the car, and have the financial means to swallow a steep depreciation if you sell before the 10th year. Resale value is non existent. ↡ Advertisement 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixus75 3rd Gear August 17, 2019 Share August 17, 2019 (edited) Saw the new v60 outside volvo showroom. T5 r design looks really nice. This one now on top of my next car list. But in 2 years time maybe Wearnes margin is 70k+; kind of crazy for 60 series. I planned to revisit this car 2-3 years later after first owner take the hit.

For some cars dealers don’t even want to offer or touch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
13177 Supersonic August 17, 2019 Share August 17, 2019 (edited) Just took a slow drive past the entire Leng Kee stretch. Toyota, Kia, Honda, VW, Volvo... Practically all showrooms are ghost towns. Sales staff outnumber customers. Coe increased so much and ADs also increased car price so much, showroom surely ghost town. Wait next few coe price come down again and ADs reduce price then will see more people at showroom. Edited August 17, 2019 by 13177 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same for the XC40, OMV is only 26k and selling for 170k. Profit margin is like 3x OMV. But I guess that's the entry price for luxury brands Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vo/v@ and their Cat and Left Right (LR) now really left right brands like Bo power to Roar!!! Or maybe fell sick? Or dunno wat is wrong. VolkswaKeNT also hit.. Anyone has insider info ?? Or maybe really due to market ??? Too high margins no buyers is it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
