Wait until you see the men who selling 15 year old almeras for 50kDizzy28 wrote:zando wrote:Used car market, here I come!
I been looking at Trini Cars For Sale and PinTT for a few months now.
It's almost as if depreciation doesn't exist. Men selling 3 year old cars for 88% the showroom price.
OFC they are deals to be had brand dependent.
You have to remember something no matter how good you take care of a vehicle, there is something called depreciation, this same depreciation happens when you put a license plate on a brand new or showroom vehicle. A vehicle does not stop depreciating no matter how good you take care of it, nor does it appreciatemtec wrote:50K may sound like a lot for a 15 year old Almera or something similar but there are factors to consider. What if the vehicle was meticulously maintained and treated. Also if the trend is upward market, is the seller wrong for riding that wave and starting high? Unless a man's pocket is limitless I think he'd try to get as much as possible for his car and not call his base price at first. It's easy to see an advert for something old, at a high price and misjudge by face value. Then there are guys selling real sheit boxes, driven to the ground cars, flash over and calling market prices. Those are the real bandits, people get stuck spending thousands after in fixing issues. On another note. How are people getting inspections passed ($$$) with cars that don't even have front indicators, I mean physically missing. And some with blown brake lights and running slicks in the wet. I think the shops doing inspections should get fined or blacklisted if they're passing those failed vehicles.

There are many meticulously maintained vehicles fetching quite a high price in the used market.
Depreciation is real but the few extra thousand being called for some over others will justify the price.hover11 wrote:You have to remember something no matter how good you take care of a vehicle, there is something called depreciation, this same depreciation happens when you put a license plate on a brand new or showroom vehicle.

About 20 or 30 percent based on the make and model, it literally loses value once they drive it out the showroom and place a license plate on itmetalgear2095 wrote:How much value as a percent would you guys say a new vehicle loses after the first year?
metalgear2095 wrote:Does this not apply to vehicles like the Hilux? Been looking and feel the prices of these are inflated given the age of the vehicle. Men selling these 3 years and older for the price of a one year old vehicle by the 20% to 30% guide

Also when you look at an Evo 7 which could be had for 140k on the roll on roll off market back around 2003 - 2004(questionable acquisitions aside)... How much does that sell for now vs the depreciated value...
So basically an e-power then, I think that's how the e-power note works, can't get parts for thoseDuane 3NE 2NR wrote:2023 Nissan X-Trail Revealed In Japan As Electrified Rogue
At the heart of the X-Trail is a gasoline engine with variable compression, but it doesn't actually power the wheels. Instead, it works as a generator to produce electricity. Going down this road allows Nissan to have the engine always running within its optimal range to maximize efficiency. Doing so cuts fuel consumption and emissions compared to a regular ICE-powered vehicle. The X-Trail is not the first model to get the tech as the smaller Qashqai (Rogue Sport in the US) also has e-4ORCE.

I believe this is the model Massy is bringing.
They hinted at a new kind of hybrid Xtrail coming at the launch of their San Fernando showroom

It appears to be basically an electric vehicle with a range extender. The engine will only be used to charge the batteries, and not for propulsion.kamakazi wrote:This vehicle doesn't make any sense over a regular hybrid.
EV should be called RCV (Remote Combustion Vehicle) once it is powered by a powerplant using fossil fuels

Mazda will be trying something similar with the MX30 using a rotary range extender.j.o.e wrote:kamakazi wrote:This vehicle doesn't make any sense over a regular hybrid.

It’s actually a little more efficient. Since the engine is charging the battery and not moving the car it runs in a more efficient rev and timing range. Or so the experts say
That makes sense but only partially.j.o.e wrote:kamakazi wrote:This vehicle doesn't make any sense over a regular hybrid.
