Replying to: moocow1 (Jul 01, 2008 3:05 pm) If you get a new Sonata for $16,000, and it suffers the industry average 20% deprecation in its first year, you are looking at a car worth $12,800 after year one, when it had a window sticker of around $20,000. Almost 50% value gone from MSRP. That's not too good. Mazda has this problem with the Mazda6. Hopefully the new Mazda6 will reverse this trend, since it is considerably more money they the outgoing one. Heck, a 2007 Mazda3 s is worth more then a 2007 Mazda6 i, when the Mazda6 cost more new.

Is the 2.5L in the updated Fusion going to be the same engine that is in the new Mazda 6i ?

Replying to: backy (Jul 02, 2008 7:37 am) The depreciation amount in dollars was similar on the Toyota and the Ford my folks looked at, but the difference in price up front was drastic. Those buying the Toyota will say "I paid more, but I'll get more back." Those buying the Ford will say "I don't care that it depreciated as much as a more expensive car, I come out the same in the end, and had less up-front outlay." By the way, my folks just purchased a 2008 Taurus. I know it is off topic, so I'll leave it at that; I just wanted to pass it along for those who'd been following the saga of my parents' car shopping. They finally made their decision and couldn't be happier. They got $5800 off sticker on a car with Leather, Convenience Package, and Sync. So far, they are LOVING Sync. I do too! |

Replying to: aviboy97 (Jul 02, 2008 7:21 am) So it "cost" you $3200 in the first year. I suppose you think one is better off if they bought an Accord or Camry for $21,000 and it depreciates at only 80% of your average figure...meaning it loses 16% in the first year or $3380.

Replying to: jeffyscott (Jul 02, 2008 7:53 am) The original questions was in regards to the resale value going up on the Sonata, not how much it "costs" to use it in one year. Since Hyundai's have been getting better, their value should increase over time. Lets be honest "it's a Hyundai" does not hold as much weight as "it's a Honda" just yet. The Sonata is a great bargain. Question is, would they sell as well if they cost just as much as an Accord or Camry? I don't think so. Mazda is about to find out if they can sell over the 100K mark with the new Mazda6 using this approach, and abandoning the bargain concept that the current Mazda6 is. |
