I don't think so. Korean cars still low in second hand value. Look at the Sonata, popular but second value still very low.
To buy Korean cars, is for people who love them, not use 2 to 3 years then sell....... smile_wink.gif


dont be surprised - used car dealers often gives low offer on trading in.

heck, even kia and hyundai's own salesman has no confidence if some one wants to trade in their own models. they will give you low and low prices... because they know its not worth it.

i mean, buy a forte 2.0 today at about 90K.

after 2 years, try to trade in and upgrade to Kia's own sportage at 140K.

do you think you will get 70K of the value after 2 years? i agree with samyvellu and sifu vr2turbo here... most likely the owner will be quoted something like only 50% of its original value which to the dealers are very reasonable.

New Sonata 2nd value seems still ok.

But isn't it normal to loose 50% over 3yrs for most cars? smile_blackeye.gif

If you afford to change to a new car, i think low resale value is nothing (consider loosing 20 to 30k++ extra)
otherwise, keep the car and bang balls to the wall (like some one mentioned here... heheh smile_big.gif )

anyway, just my opinion...

Forte replacement is out. NASA may not bring this right away as they will milk the present model as long as possible. Sad,cos the car known as K3 has the same lines as big brother K5. A little smaller and good looking!

Inspria is a rebadged Jap car. Koreans now build far better cars than Japs.
