How's resell value of Volkswagen

[dr. d]

The Skoda Fabia Mk 1 was actually based on the next generation platform PQ24 shared with the Polo 9N or Mk 4 and Seat 6L or Mk 3. The predecessor to the Skoda Fabia Mk 1 was the Skoda Felcia, which although having a lot of VW technology was actually based on it's own platform as it was already in development before VAG took Skoda over.

interesting.

badge engineering is now the name of the game.
toyota owns daihatsu.
thus, some daihatsus had toyota stamped on the front hood, and are being sold as toyotas here.

even the yanks are playing it.

Matagal na yung badge engineering.

GM was doing it in the 60s with different brands using the same platform/car. Chevy Camaro = Pontiac Firebird. Ford Mustang = Mercury Cougar.

Sa 80s, Chevy Cavalier = Caddilac Cimarron.

Matagal na rin yung platform sharing, where cars use essentially the same underpinnings.

Kaya nga when you buy a VW, para ka na rin bumili ng Audi. Golf = A3, Passat = A4. Touareg = Cayenne = A7. Kahit Rolls Royce uses a modified BMW 7 series platform.

Countries of manufacture does not matter if the brand has setup stiff quality controls. CVT told me that the auto industry has one of the most strict quality controls. I don't think VW's quality standards is something comparable to Foton or Haima.

I think the VWs made in China are primarily for their use and not for export unlike those in Mexico. China has some domestic auto standards that apply only to them. There might be a chance that such standards could apply to other countries but the volume of manufacture may only meet the ever growing demand for vehicles in China alone.

Asked the same question raw in the vitara thread. ��

There was the Honda Passport before ... a re-badged Isuzu Rodeo ...

Nowadays does not matter where basta consistent QC. Current VW models sold here are made either in Mexico/Poland/Germany/India.

Dapat though may ASEAN hub si VW para magmura import costs.

The most blatant though now is Benz pickup = Nissan Navarra.

Though dati Chrysler 300C = old Benz platform.

VW uses similar platform and engines across its multiple brands and models. Other big manufacturers do the same thing.

Ok lang yung vw/audi rebadging. At least there you can still tell how they look apart, unlike this one..



Who the hell will buy this in north america anyway? Even the staff of top gear hate the hatchback of this car so much.

"...quality control..."
golden words, these.

It does not include the words "reliable design". Even if quality control is strict but the part design is unreliable, overall quality is suspect. Just take a look at Ford. hehehehe

good point.
as to ford,
some folks replace ford with chevrolet, depending on what the joke's target population is.

the man died, and he went to heaven.
and the first soul he sees, is... "...what's that %&#**!! guy doing here! he's my good-for-nothing unruly wife-beating neighbor!"
and St Peter gently says, "he drove a ford."

May 2016 Jetta 1.6L TDI kaml, wala pa naman advise yung VW-PH na for replacement yung timing belt. Kahit sa labas minsan yung oil change nya, tumatawag pa rin yung casa to say na for maintenance yung car (one a year or every 15k km).

Yung mga sensors may kamahalan at mahirap maghanap so casa lang option. Nasira yung speed sensor kasi na running flat ng sister ni misis. The brake module also got an error so we had it replaced. We bought the part though in the US as it cheaper than in the casa. Aside from those things, the car is doing fine. Matipid sa fuel!

Check facebook there is a VW Jetta and VW Golf car club. Try to join them and ask about their experience. There are already a few shops outside CASA that can source your parts at a way cheaper price, Thou still not as cheap as a Toyota but way cheaper than CASA's robbery price. They also have quite a few upgrade parts for most VW models available here in the phil.
