[Team Loco]

i have owned euros but i have gone back to japanese. i only did so because of parts availabilty and downtime. euros are good cars, but the cost effectiveness of owning one locally is not good.

Euro Car eg. Mercedes Benz CLS- Sign of Status/Power/Wealth, sophisticated yet overpriced luxury, no need to worry about theft because of little-no black market demand for parts, holds a moderate-high resale value given depreciation... (eg Buy Benz for 1.2-1.5 mil, resell for 5-600k

Japanese Car eg. Toyota Camry- affordable luxury somewhat, less features, gadgets, technology, mechanics than euro counterparts, lesser quality materials used to keep price down, mid/high class market, some degree to worry wrt theft as there are more camry's as to cls in t'dad, hence greater demand for parts in the underhand trade, resale value is greater buck spent for buck sold eg. bought @ 345,000k , sold @ 125,000k...

You do realise that selling a 1.2m car for 600,000 is a greater resale value than a car bought for 345,000 being sold for 125k...

your math sucks.

1.2mil - 600k = 600k loss (50%) therefore a 50% resale value

345k - 125k = 220k loss (36.2%) therefore a 63.8% resale value

geo's point is valid.

So you're saying that selling a car for 36.2% of the original price is a 63.8% resale value?
Don't you mean you lost 63.8%?

Not being facetious... just asking

Trinidad brake and clutch,ERM,automotive supplies, all 3 usually have in stock.or call 713-benz.

[acesinghit]

d man # is benz oui....to me the only jap brand that gives you a euro feel is mazda. If I were to sell d jetta I would not return japanese in the near future but I would keep it and buy the new elantra or upcoming 2013 cerato. A good entry luxury euro car to own is a passat and they cheaper than the c-class, 3-series and a4. VW gives the japanese crowd a cost effective alternative and they're safe..

[sliderz1]

so ummm...just putting this out there
why arent we comparing these European made vehicle to similar classed JDM vehicles?

lets say Camry, Teana J32, Accord, M6 (where Stephon?)
or even KDM vehicles....Optima, Elantra, Sonata

i am not in defense of any manufacturer for that matter, fairness is all

and btw with a B14 what you pay for is what you get, doesnt get more complicated than that.

I can't agree with what you're saying. What you're not including in there is how old the car is at the time of sale.
For example:

This car is selling right now for $300k 10 years after purchase.
10 years ago, this car would have cost somewhere in the 6-700,000 region, if not lower.

What I will agree though, is that second hand B14's tend to hold there value around the 30k price tag.

And also when you work it out...
1.5 mil sold for 400k = 26.6%
345k sold for 125k = 36.2%

It's not that far apart....

^^^ Just remember that many Euro cars u see on sale never actually get the price they call. They normally end up going for a lower price just outta sheer frustration form the seller. There's many a deal to be had on the used Euro market.

most euros sit there and just sell for small money when the owner is fed up of asking for a price and not getting it

What is "small money" in this case?
I'm 95% sure that car won't suddenly sell for $90,000

Even if he gets $200,000, that's still pretty good for a 10 year old car.

According to the general "20% depreciation per year" that is associated with cars... If it started at $600k it should only get $64,424.51 now...
