U R correct those who would pay 70 over thousand for a used Forte is indeed amateur budak mentah, i mean do some calculation why would some one not take the new Forte for extra 10K ? paying lower interest, full warranty, new car ?
Do u know paying 70 over thousand for a used car come up to same value as 80 over thousand new car over 5 - 7 years, Which idiot would pay same value for used 4AT Forte while there can get 6AT new Forte ?
Japanese car have many legend as there have glory past, famous Nissan sport car like Silvia S14, GTR 33, 34, & great many model r highly desirable, wherelse Korean car have dark past, imagine who would ever look for Sephia, Spectra
Offcoz in the 90's these car r not desirable, is like Vintage wine u need to keep for some time to become vintage, as the supply getting less so the price would surely increase, if u have a Ming Vase during Ming Dynasty surely it not worth much, but today it worth a fortune, understand Ding Dong.
Those who bought Forte, they are fine with it. Only some that believe 13-16km/L in your product is true, those got fooled if they think getting 9km/L in heavy city traffic is bad for C-segment 1.6L. Fact is that is normal in reality be it for Korean and Japanese proper made. Even your crappy Lavina can't even get 9km/L under same location with same traffic and driving condition. Comparing Forte with Lavina:
Heavy traffic Forte 9km/L , Lavina 8km/L
light city driving Forte 11.2km/L, Lavina 9.6km/L
Highway Forte 14km/L, Lavina only 12km/L
Legendary sports car has nothing to do with your crappy substandard product. This phrase, it was taught to you by 1 of the Marketing Manager. Fyi, Japanese carmakers have darker past too where their cars were totally unreliable that you could barely drive few times including stalling and can't start. Digging old topic no longer works as the Korean found the formula in building proper engine earlier thanks to MMC & Chrsyler.
