That would be the hubcap ones.

[Stephon.]

Well it's still robbery.

[acesinghit]

^^^it have vvti, 4 disc brakes and dual airbags. You may not know how much revs u doing but it fully powered and returns 50mpg. Oh and it has the best resale value of any automobile on the planet. I guess that is why they sell more units than cups of ice scream at marble slab

[Stephon.]

You see me there Sunday or what?

[boost11]

Is the 2 door cerato cheaper? Do they come manual and with different engine sizes or is one thing right through?

[Stephon.]

I gut a friend with a corolla trying to justify the prices, we were having an argument about how good the prices of the Kia cerato cars were and how much more you got compared to a base model corolla with around the same price, he said that the resale value on the Kia and Hyundai is why their cars would always be less valuable.

Now here is what I'm wondering. The Hyundai and Kia vehicles are selling now more than ever, even the cerato you got to go on a wait list to get them, and I wont be surprised if one day, I see more ceratos than corollas on the highway. Would this affect the resale value of the vehicle? I'm thinking (going by trinidads logic) that the more vehicles there are on the roads, the higher the resale value would be, but that may be just me.

cant believe im gonna have a decent conversation with stephon but here goes
most people finance these vehicles
they pay 20k more for a corolla out the door and the resale value is generally 20k more than a comparable kia say a 5 yr old corolla vs a 5 yr old kia the price is the same 20k less.
when u finance 20k u pay back more in interest over the 5yr loan period people dont seem to grasp that the 200k corolla costs dem 220k over 5 years a 180k cerato costs 198k in 5 years and both cost about the same to maintain

[acesinghit]

plenty people are still scared of resale value that is why basic corollas still sell. Plus it is all about image, imagine your ex asking you if that kia belongs to u? She new bf driving his roro wingroad axis nismo sports + getting more rank instantly..versus your 1 airbag corolla with zigla rims at least when she see the toyota symbol of success flashing back at u in the sun, u know wingroad sports + going back under the rock.

[Stephon.]

Wrt to maintainence though, he doesn't maintain so I guess he saving there
He only change the oil when something not feeling right when ah mash x

Dunno how else to explain to this boy that his cheapness gonna cost him morein the long run, then again he looking to sell later on this year

[stev]

i does feel poor anytime i come in this thread

yah well shallow people will always have a problem and i dont keep them around me at all

btw had no problem with the honies when driving a kia pride

Second guessing Toyota's reliability these days. Bought 2006 rav4 from TTTL in November 2006 and since then had to change fuel pump, steering rack.. TWICE ( thank God that was during warranty period cuz that woulda cost close to 40gran total).. and recently the alternator which went bad almost immediately after warranty finished -_-
That alone costing 10gran from TTTL. Not to mention the two keys broke off the plastic module..(?!?!)
Heck I never had to change any major parts like that in our local b14 for almost 10yrs or more after leaving N&m showroom.

Dad got a local camry in dec 2010; so far, so good though..

Cerato "Koup" is >195k for the 1.6L 125hp.

Around 240k for the 2.0L 156 hp.

Both come with 6 speed automatics only w/ paddleshift. No manuals being offered locally.

I know of at least two ceratos sold for within 20k of their brand new purchase price.

Apparently, southern sales is creating a shortage by not bringing in many vehicles, so hasty buyers will even rush a lightly used vehicle. Both cars mentioned had less than 30k mileage.

[Stephon.]

That's nice, Southern Sales being leaders and creating a shortage to encourage local econ stimulation, which other showroom does this? SSSL remains flawless!

The 1.4 Swift has more features for cheaper than the Mazda2. So does the Kia Soul and Rio.
