T&T OFFICIAL New Vehicle Prices & Discussion Thread

[greggle71]

Cars basically being sold out on the boat before the stock shipment even arrives on our shores.

If I am a dealer the market is telling me to keep raising prices. Someone in the industry told me the issue is supply and they can’t even get the quantities from the manufacturing plant to satisfy demand, they selling whatever they could get in the aftermath of the global chip shortages.

When last has anyone been able to walk into a dealer get the exact make, model and colour of the car/truck they want?

If you’re lucky you might get someone who is unable to close the purchase on a unit so it becomes available locally.

I don't think it would make sense to keep raising prices, it'll get to a point where people won't pay for a small car like an accent, that costing over 300k, people have a limit, used cars will be gold.

Speaking of the accent, anyone see the new one yet? It is niiiceee, it's what the Elantra should have been.

Car manufacturers been tricking us for years, they implement upgrades when a model refreshes and sells them at a higher price point and then they make the model below in the class a little bigger with the same features so if I can’t afford buy the exact model I had before I will buy the lower class model with the same badge if I getting the same features. Especially euros.

I thought the accent was phased out till I started seeing quite a few on the road.
Not bad at all.
If the retail is close to the first page and a 1.6 engine, the package may not be bad.
Only downfall would be Massy alone for parts.

Sorry, was talking about this one lol, it's apparently being released this month and I think they're starting to sell them worldwide next month? Not sure, but from what I've seen, it's a lot bigger and better equiped than the old one by a long shot, I like the design better than the Elantra also.

Also I see they have a 1.5T available for it, which we won't get, obviously, the other option is a N/A 1.5 non turbo variant, I suspect this car might compete with the city so expect it to be around 230

Haha.
No worries.
So all the old ones on the road is probably a fire sale then.

Those Accents are being sold with a sunroof. If the cars were not equipped with that, then they could be sold for about $10k less when you consider the ridiculous amount that they charge for such accessories.

You're the problem lol that's why these cars sell, when alyuh say ' i don't find it that bad '

[nick639v2]

Your taste is different from mine for the appearance of a car. Daz the reason for why it selling? I never say I think the price good either

[Dave]

Love is in the eye of the beholder!

Every single new car brought to this market has at least one sold.

I don't think there is a perfect car but one you can learn to like given it almost ticks all the boxes.

A perfect example was the Tiida and newer Wingroads.

Yuh hit the nail on the head

Nissan, cheap to buy cheap to maintain especially long term. Tiidas still out here clocking over 200k mileage normal normal

Massy stop bringing in budget Nissan cars in the last 10 years trying to compete with other brands but I think they miss the boat and Kia jump right in and pull the rug from them with the Rio, which is probably the best mix of style and price from showroom available locally now.

The note showroom would sell just as well, grey market take up the slack as plenty ah them running around but all dem tanties want is a reliable car with a working radio and some sensors to make sure they dont bounce down dey plant pot when they reach home

[Bosse]

What about parts for these Brand New Vehicles, in the past few months I know people who bought New vehicles and had the dealership tell them they have to wait 3months for parts. This is concerning because God forbid you get into an accident, you have to wait this long for parts with mortgage and insurance running and there is no recourse.

I think when purchasing any vehicle, one must do their due diligence and make sure parts is readily available.

[metalgear2095]

Just heard from a sales rep that the new Wildtrak will cost between 475-485k madness yes

[Shalom Vanamson]

Absolute insanity. And that would obviously be introductory price so in other words a normal Ranger for half a mil .

610k actually Grey Market. But it would be left to be seen if Ansa sell those highly doubt it.

They said they are selling them

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Just a heads up for vezel and potential vezel owners.....I know of at least 8 covered down right now due to a failed brake booster and cylinder...cost is like 16k and well availability is the issue.

[Dave]

I am sure it's available but the price might be the discouraging factor.
I'm sure soon enough a good Trini mechanic can retro another vehicle's own into it.
