I went in and saw their organisation chart. Quite MLM-ish with the crossed-arms stance 😆 Elitist also, if you own a performance 4 door, it has to be a continental make.

The prices of used cars from the used car arm of authorised distributors like Performance Motors, C&C, Borneo Motors, Volkswagen carry a very heavy premium, to the extent that you might be better off buying brand new in terms of annual depreciation.

My brother is a working adult, not ASK (Hence, not a troll post during school holidays 😎) Appreciate all the useful insights from fellow bros and sis. Hope it helps everyone as well. He was initially interested in the WRX STI due to 3-5k lower depre than a Type R/EVO, however after factoring insurance and higher repair costs, it might as well be the same cost. Would you rather spend 68k on a 10 year old WRX STI or 68k on a brand new Honda Jazz? (Running cost is definitely different, so is the driving experience) Hmmm... Good to ask your Brother is whether he can tahan driving a manual gear car. And I’m assuming he has manual gear licence and drives the car regularly. 10+ yrs ago, I was driving a manual car which was still OK as traffic not so bad. Nowadays, so much traffic and jams, it will be a PITA to drive manual Edited January 30, 2020 by Jamesgetz 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No brainer to buy new. I noticed that too, basically, from depreciation POV, almost no difference. This is same for other AD used car divisions also. Perhaps better to go used car dealer and buy those cars still under warranty & servicing by AD if want to go the used car route. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
