Vehicles with the best/worst resale values in the Philippines

[MR_BIG18]

Noticed that the Mazda CX-5 seems to depreciate faster. Why is that?

Its gas vs diesel thing...people who buys 2nd hand are in for the savings, what better way to save than to by a 2nd hand diesel SUV.

You actually don't save much if you buy a 2nd hand diesel SUV / pickup since the resale value is so high it's better to buy brand new.

madami issues nyan sa transmission. yung dami ng punta ko sa mazda quezon avenue nung may bt50 pa ako lagi ako may nakakasabay na mazda cx5 owners na may warranty claims. most of the time it's the transmission. umaandar at nagre-rev ang engine pero walang hatak. meron pa ako nakausap bago lang cx5 nya di man lang daw makaakyat ng parking sa SM.

Makes you think twice when Yojin3 promo expires on your SkyActiv vehicle. Anybody here posted about such incidents? I assume Mazda uses the same type of tranny also with the Mazda3 and Mazda6 SkyActiv.

Speaking of Mazda's, lately, I've seen a lot of them with "crumbling" rear lights. There's some sort of oxidation happening inside the tail lights. Are'nt those warrantable?

Volvo and Audi have horrible resale values.

One would think that 2014 Mazda CX-5 would have ironed out the kinks already since the Mazda CX-5 was released 2012.

that's why i never bought that skyactiv hype. mali kasi ang approach ng mazda trying to market efficient gasoline cars. it's just that the physics will never support that.

atop trying to reinvent the wheel


yun mazda 3 ngaun unang tingen ko pa lang gas guzzler na no matter what the technology, car body size will and always be dead giveway for guzzling

my m3 skyactive-- ave. 8-9.5km per liter.. City driving-- it looks like a Gus guzzler but it's not.. do not based a car FC by mere looks... Base it on full tank method-- kaw Naman Minicarp.. Up to now hindi ka pa din Marunong mag compute Ng FC.. Ang tagal tagal mo NA Sa Tsikot...

Best resale value: 2005 Toyota Prado VX. I sold mine after 11 years of service. The price still able to buy a brand new compact sedan.

Worst: Kia Sorento

Strada 4x4 top-of-the-line ko dati nabile ko ng bnew P910k, 9 years later nabenta ko ng 550k. ni hindi ako nagpalit ng gulong at pasira na turbo, maingay na.

those were the days when the strada is benefitting from the popularity of the Fieldmaster


---

eh wala kayo sa tatay ko, he bought a 16 valve bnew 1990 corolla gL red at 330k, in 1994 he sold at 270k. sa sobrang atat ng kumpare nya nya hinagis sa kanya 270k, no choice na tatay ko pero meron sya ka-deal na 280k

those were the days. hahaha

---

but the biggest deal of my life was my Suzuki Samurai, originally bought for 280k fully -loaded. for 10 years I endured that trash of a vehicle, lagi may kalampag wala power steering, sa sobrang poorly built, kumalas ang 4x4 mechanism

then there's this buy and sell who wanted to get the car at 220k. sabi ko sobrang ambaba naman ng offer mo. so sige bigay ko na. nun nagkabayaran na, sabi ko ay teka, gusto mo kunin yun nakalas na 4x4 mechanism yun bar sa ilalim. ay opo tapos sobrsng grateful sya, at tenk u ng tenk u.

Any thoughts on the Ford Focus TDCi? Seems to have an even worst resale value than the Mazda 3. What's a a good year model for this vehicle? Anything to look out for with this model?

Just need a cheap diesel city errand vehicle.

[crosswind]

The galant's resale value is worse. Bought our 1995 vr6 Galant at 1.2m and when we sold it, the price was around 300k-400k

If you're getting one, get the manual. There have been horror stories for the DCT, although the cases aren't as widespread as the Fiesta DCT problems.

^^^ Would get one with a higher mileage about 50T kms to be sure that it doesn't have DCT issues. Still considering other options.

What do you think of the 2010-2012 Mazda 6? But the price is close to the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry.

I like the 6. Lovely car. Perhaps one of the few midsize sedans that actually has a youthful image. My only worry is parts especially as the years go by, what with it's relatively low population; something that is not much of a problem with the Camry and Accord.

As others have said, go for the manual. Find out if the owner has changed the clutch already (clutch changes a bit expensive due to the dual mass flywheel... but at least you can change the clutch... the DCT, you have to replace the transmission). Get a test drive to determine if the turbo is in good condition. A noisy or chattery turbo can be rebuilt, at least, but a rebuild still costs 30k.

That year model is relatively reliable, according to US data. More reliable than the first gens with the 2.3, and probably will have fewer issues than the newer Skyactiv ones over time, since the engine and transmission were at their final level of development with that model... hence the uptick in reliability versus the older Mazda6s.

With that 2.5 and the automatic, it's also pretty fast and entertaining to drive. Parts are obviously not as easy as with the Mazda3, but MazFord should have all maintenance parts you need.

Its not like owning an Accord or Camry is easy either... try pricing a new steering rack for an Accord (those tend to break)... or even an auto transmission for an older Accord (those tend to break, also... ) and watch your hair turn white...

Which generation of the Accord has the faulty steering rack? The one on our 2005 2.4 with 102tkms is still fine. Transmission works like a charm too, save for the malfunctioning shifter button (could not be pressed and so could only be moved between N and D) which required replacement of the shifter head. Admittedly there is a problem with the climate control wherein it can only be set at the highest setting (both blower and thermostat) or else nothing at all. Apparently there is a certain electronic part that needs replacing but which even the casa could not find. What did the aircon mechanic say? "Madali lang kung Camry eh!" [emoji28]

BTT: Ford Escape/Mazda Tribute has got to have one of the worst resale values around. SRP of around 1.1M when new, now worth just 200+k. Many Subic imports with similar prices are actually around a decade older.

It's actually quite nice to drive. Very solid body and chassis, smooth ride, an acceptably powerful engine with excellent NVH, good parts availability... Very good car sans the 4km/L city fuel consumption. Wait... That's probably why...
