You're also only looking at it very one sided XPO2ED.
As Bludger said earlier "A car is only worth as much as someone is prepared to pay".
I don't think Bludger and I actually said that DC2R's are worth more than DC5R's (correct me if I'm wrong). All we mentioned was the $23k~ range for a good low KM DC2R.
there's no point arguing with n00bs, they just bring you down to their level and own you with experience...
lol, saya read the thread.. and my response wasnt to bludger... he replied to mine.. i agree that its what buyers want to pay for it..
end of the day... stock from stock... no way it will cost more..

but on a mileage basis, dc2r retains value much better than dc5r - evidenced by the selling prices which are still high today. this is the truth. dc5r fanboys please accept it. and it retains a higher value if it's stock because a LOT of dc2r's are modified.
but if people decide to buy a dc2r for 30k over a dc5r for 30k stock for stock then they obviously thought it was a better car. simple as that. the differences between the two are not exactly subtle anyway.
how do uno that a dc2R retains more value than a dc5R? by carsales prices?
Regards to DC5R sell price.. ive seen several sell for 25k.. stock that is with say 100ks on the clock? or near? u saying a dc2R with 100ks or near on the clock will sell for 25k?
its all debatable till the cows come home, but there must be a buyer:)
nope, thats what you said.Quote:

that the dc2r is already close to 10 years old, brand new for about 42k and still selling easily for 23-25k in good condition and low km's, isnt that enough proof that it retains value well?Quote:

don't get so defensive, dc5r fanboys. if it can still sell for 25k in good condition in 2010/2011, then it's retained its value well too :) but who knows, by then the dc2r might be 22k or something. its impossible to predict the future. at the least everyone should accept that yes - dc2r has aged well and will continue to.
