Cheefarn 5th Gear March 21, 2019 Share March 21, 2019 There is a market for such high profit margin. Those that need to take high loan with low upfront deposit. Those are the marginal buyers who by any measure CANNOT afford cars in sg at all. What they do are to lock themselves into a downward spiral of ever increasing debt from which they cannot get out of without coughing out large sums of money, an item that they do not have in the 1st place ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sHy3r 4th Gear March 22, 2019 Share March 22, 2019 Resale Value? Does it really mean resale Value higher? Some AD make 70% while most make 20%-30% premium. Resale value not just on $ u r looking at. Resale value can also mean the demand in the market. The value of ur car can also be determine by how many people outside looking at your car model. Toyota has high resale value. Not just pricing... but also there’s demand for this brand. Dealers always say this car has high resale value... he may not mean this car can fetch high price. But rather, this car has many people want. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But rather, this car has many people want. yes, I guess when we dig deeper. if there was a blind test between similar makes (no branding, no country of manufacture), I wonder if those ADs with high profit margins will still get the vote? Will buyers who have little appreciation of branding and marketing still choose ALTIS over AVANTE for example without knowing which is which on paper?

5kylark March 22, 2019 Author Share March 22, 2019 If the disparity in COE on paper and that when intending to buy new car is too much, the choice is clear for middle income family. > Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
