Why Are Used/2nd Hand Kia, Hyundai Etc Cars Rare ? ? ? by pak: 8:01pm On May 10, 2009 |
I've been going thru the n/land auto section for sometime now and have noticed that some used car models are very hard to come by. (the only ones I can think of now are kia, hyundai but i guess there are lot more ) I wonder what the reasons are. Does it have to do with the quality of these brands and invariably its second hand value or is it just that they are quite new 'round here and maybe later we'l get to see more 2nd hands' like it is with Yaris. I'll love if the experts on this section can fill me in with their opinions. And secondly, this is sort of a poser. If you have 'bout 1.5m or less will you rather go for a new 'small' car or a used 'big boy' car. pls give answers with pros and cons of both options thanks buddies |

There are tons and tons of used Hyundais and Kia cars here in the US. Most car importers try to import and sell what they deem is in demand and that is largely Japanese vehicles. Many naijas will run their mouth about what they do not understand and tell you that KIAs are not so good and cheap and blah, blah, blah, Well,, dealers simply don't import it cos buyers force the price down and wipe out their profit. KIA tends to take the cheapest, least loaded models to Naija and consequently Naijas think all KIAs are like that and often do not want to pay good price for the used ones! In the US, Hyundais and KIAs are mostly fully loaded and have proven their durability and reliability over time. As a matter of fact, the used value of a Hyundai car continues to better many japanese makes except Honda and Toyota here. Would you pay N1.4 million for the 2004 Hyundai Sonata GLS featured below:

See?? There you go!!!! Even though his (@190) response is misguided. He loves Yaris but the Yaris is one of the cheaper and lower quality Toyotas. To a naija man, give him a name he recognises and he thinks he has the best even if the actual quality is crap. The concept is called 'Product brand Imaging' - it always works with naijas. I hope this answers your question @PAK? THe Hyundai Sonata shown above is a superior car to the Toyota Yaris. It is a superior car all round, in functional design, in performance, in outright dimensions and utility value. It is also a very, very durable product - one that has contribute to placing Hyundai in the top ten 'JD power reliability ratings' in the last several years! But then again you don't know that,, do you?? FYI, the Sonata is also a lot more expensive that the Yaris when new. but I see you trying to pay 1.5Million for a Yaris! It is all a question of taste though. |

^^ why is it crap? I am an Hyundai and Kia fan. I agree they have proved themselves and have nothing to prove anymore. Benz and Bmw should learn from them and hang their heads in shame. The hyundai in the Uk comes with 5years warrany or 100k miles on their cars, while Kia rolls out a 7years warranty on some of their models. This manufacturer is so confident that let you have such a long warranty. That is good enough in my book. |

Chei!!! I sent a post but sort of didn't go thru anyway @ 190 I can see you are a great guy but its like you have a problem with concentration (How u take pass for school sef ? ? ? aah I forget, 'girraffing' ) The point I made earlier bout Yaris is that for now we dont see much of its 2nd hand's now due to its relative novelty but with time we will get to see more used Yaris. And the poser I am making is , will other makes like KIA, Hyundai, Logan start to have more second hand's available as time goes on or is it that their quality (or lack of it ) ensures that the second hand value is nothing to write home about. |
