I wish to own a Merc but even if their margin is thin but high depreciation, I will not buy it because I can't. Don't developer margin is high too for condo? Many are still buying. haha. Well condos don't depreciate as much as cars and in fact have a good chance of appreciation so not a good comparison. Anyway I think the margin for Venue is fair for a new launched car and the depreciation of around $8k for the S model is also reasonable. I think what u mean is more on affordability rather than depreciation. Of course, even if premium cars sell at cost, most of us won't even be able bite so fair or not is irrelevant. ↡ Advertisement 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's a test drive unit but it doesnt have a test drive 4 digit tag. The name "V E N U E" at the butt cant be missed as I stopped directly behind it at the lights.

Fulcrum Clutched January 14, 2020 Share January 14, 2020 Having seen this model at the motorshow, this crossover is nice. Decent room all round though boot can be slightly bigger. This model can do better with a 1.0 turbo too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end, it's always about how much you can afford - the down payment, the monthly installments, the running costs, which makes or breaks the deal. Depreciation is only on paper. Unless you're looking to sell the car every time you get a new car at the 5 year mark, depreciation doesn't really factor into the consideration. If you own the car till it's 10th year, and what you get back really matters to you, then it's the premium you can afford to pay over the base cost of the car that matters. Of course in such a case, the dealer profit margins will matter. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My money's on the Stonic being more fun to drive. Do update if you manage to test both, please. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
