Yeah Andrew, you are wrong, the Hyundai Getz can easily fetch 10 to 12K for 2 years old in 3 dooor. My Mother got 11.5K for hers. my wife got 11.55K for hers and my brother in law got 11.6K for his. My entire family traded 2 Y.O Getz’s and got more than 10K, and I have a large family, so you are wrong, you couldn’t possibly be right , because of all the people I know that have traded one.

Yay for red book !!
I have sold 9 2007 Sonata GLS 3.3 V6 with 38 to 45K on them for 13500 drive away….
Resale values are not to be taken via red book…
The biggest thing governing resale is initial sales numbers and teh supply and demand equation at the other end.. If you are really worried about retained value of you next purchase don’t buy a car buy a (diesel preferably) ute.

The “Joker” name is meant to ironic I suppose, because you seem to be the only one here that actually said something sensible.(Apart from me of course)

What do you base your opinion on when you say the Commodore has superior torsional strength and the Ford Ute has inferior subframe strength? How about some figures and indepent and verifiable sources to confirm it. Also, I don’t understand your first sentence regarding ecomomy of scale, development costs and safety ratings. It doesn’t make sense. There is no apparent relationship between them and anyway the VE was release to market a year before the FG.

Please explain. (Without derogatory comments and smart alec remarks.)

Thanks James. European cars are pretty unreliable when compared to Japanese and Korean vehicles. The Australian public just hasn’t caught on yet.

Andrew,

It is not just marketing which contributes the sale success of Hyundai – to a certain extent – .

If your product is bad and unreliable no matter how much marketing you do it won’t sale in big number.

RELIABILITY is one of the key success to Hyundai. Let me tell you: I have owned cars such as Renault 18, Alfa Romeo Alfetta, Fiat of various models in the early 1980′s and they all had terrible reliability. No matter how cheap they are now, I sure won’t buy them anymore.
