IT SEEMS LIKE CARS IN TRINIDAD DONT DEPRECIATE

[honda hoe]

Only in Trinidad cars are treated like land, buy a B14 for 30k, put on chrome rims and music, drive it for some years, sell it for 60k. This being Trinidad and Tobago, there will always be a buyer that doesn't know better. Who's mad will staymad. Showroom > *
I'm putting all my faith in showroom, dohbeatup because you pay more at the end of 5 years for a used vehicle (Vehicle + Mechanical repairs) that was bought @ more than half the value, than what you would pay a dealership.

whats ur argument for individuals who import NEW cars for themselves, costs less and get more features?

[Stephon.]

Power to them, but oh excuse me, I thought we were talking about overpriced used local cars. I didn't know the topic changed to new imported cars.
But even in that case

Warranty > roadside mechanic.

I have seen showroom vehicles on the back of a flatbed tow truck while I'm overtaking in my RORO, its all relative to the individual, i have not had any issues with my RORO so i have no problem buying RORO again

^exactly...."showroom" / "stealership" vehicles don't come shrink wrapped & crated eh!!!

Not always!

Dealership = stealership = incompetent.

Wait, are people actually calling dealerships, stealer-ships as compared to RORO dealers?

It's like saying globe is better than movie towne because you get to experience the movie better with the crowd

I used to place quite a lot of faith in ROROs as a good deal and believe that showroom was a stealership. However ROROs probably have much higher markups than new cars these days.
I'm to believe that a 4 yr ole Civic at 150k = marginal profits for a RORO dealer??

RORO banditry > stealership banditry

If you're going to get robbed anyway, why not get a 5 year warranty out of it?
