I can't wait for the altis, too long and my Vios overheat issues have gone bad to worst (even though i changed the radiator), need to trade in fast....plus getting this new car as a birthday present for my wife.
I know this is a Toyota forum, so guess I sure kena bang when I post that I'm getting the Peugeot 308T instead.
Resale value?, did some homework (can easily check mudah), for a 2010 model of both cars, Pug 308T stand to lose average RM10K more than altis, 2009 model Pug stand to lose abt 5K only, so I must say, pretty fair deal since I'm getting 3years parts and service +3 warranty and lower interest rate, plus the 308T torque is Massive! What I lose during resale, I gain during the cars ownership. So for resale its pretty even...but I dunno after 7 years how it will be.
Minus point for the Pug 308T is there is a new one coming around the corner and some reliability issues (hope doesn't happen to mine)
both cars will lose 20K in the first month, not to worry.
but regarding 3 yrs free service?? where got on earth free things bro?
the prices are actually included in the OTR price. you are actually paying the free services thru the 7 years loan.
this is what desperate people do when business not so condusive.
buy computer - cheap price. free anti virus, free 200GB HDD, free bag,
when restaurant not in good business, buy nasi lemak - free fried chicken, free drink, free discount coupon for next visit.
same thing goes to car.
naza - free 5 years warranty unlimited mileage
honda - free 2 yrs service + parts
the companies can just give away discounts but that will be more obviously needy.
