#3 of 192 Re: PT Cruiser looks good [beliver] by isellhondas Feb 11, 2006 (6:49 am)
Replying to: beliver (Feb 10, 2006 4:46 pm) Yeah, if you want a Neon with a retro body on it.   If a person really likes these, they can get a great deal on a slightly used one because of the high depreciation.   It seems the bloom is off the rose on these.
#4 of 192 Ah so ! Just as the "bloom" will soon be off Honda ? by beliver Feb 11, 2006 (8:31 am)
yeah, you are correct about the "Neon Baggage" but if you are going to drive the wheels off the thing then depreciation is of no concern. As a low bux "grocery getter" the PT is still a pretty good deal, all the equipment you get for the money on the "Signature pkg"   I remember some time back you seemed to dismiss Hyundai as well. Are you still laughing now? Locally Hyundai is outselling brand "H" by a pretty wide margin.   Always good to hear from you and your opinions anyway.   believer Replies to this message: isellhondas (Feb 11, 2006 11:47 am) danf1 (Feb 11, 2006 1:19 pm)

Replying to: beliver (Feb 11, 2006 8:31 am) Where is "locally"?   I doubt very seriously if Hyundai is outselling Honda anywhere.   I never was "laughing" and my opinion of them remains the same. They are much improved from the early models but they are still Korean cars.   I'm sure reliability has improved but they still suffer from horrible resale values. As used cars, they arttract few buyers.   And you are correct, if you plan to keep your cars until the bitter end then resale values don't matter.

The new Mountaneer and Explorers have very good lease programs in the northeast....With a blizzard arriving here in a few hours some of you might be taking advantage soon.

Replying to: isellhondas (Feb 11, 2006 11:47 am) Not to be argumentative, but in Pittsburgh Hyundai not only outsells Honda, but Toyota too.   Resale is getting better, but nowhere near Honda. I just took in a 2001 Civic DX coupe with 37k miles for $7200. Wasn't that car about $14k new? Not one to buy for a used car bargain. I checked all the books and the number was right on.

Unless Honda has some horrible Honda dealers in Pittsburgh?   Ditto for the Toyota stores! Replies to this message: danf1 (Feb 11, 2006 1:36 pm)

Replying to: isellhondas (Feb 11, 2006 1:27 pm) It's more the market here. We have a Hyundai store sitting next to our Nissan store. Same management team for both of them and Hyundai outsells Nissan 2 to 1. My Hyundai store outsells our other one by the same ratio.

Isell: State dmv stats tell the tale.   still a believer
#11 of 192 I believe you... by isellhondas Feb 11, 2006 (1:42 pm)
I just don't understand. They sure aren't very popular around here new or used! Replies to this message: biancar (Feb 11, 2006 3:11 pm)

Replying to: isellhondas (Feb 11, 2006 1:42 pm) Look for them to start making a dent soon, because they definitely appeal to people who want a new car but can't quite afford a Honda, Toyota or Nissan. They are indeed much improved, and their warranty helps sell the cars too.   Re the PT Cruiser: my sister has one, totally loves it and wouldn't be without it. Hers is two or three years old now. She doesn't care about resale value either, will own it as long as it's standing. It's a perfect run around town, park and shop kind of car.   Their other car is a Cadillac, so they've got their bases covered, whether they need the highway cruiser or the run-around town mobile.
