Touch wood. Never change before.

Previous car is first with LED and everything OK, traded in last Oct at 8.5 years. The earlier one was HID.

Current one Active Matrix LED, better keep working  😁

5-spd auto with very slow to respond button operated down shifts. I press, wait 1 second, floor pedal to spool up the boost, then the power surge comes.  

OK. 

My ex Forester XT the CVT was tuned to quite responsive at Sport & sport sharp mode.

Even Perodua MYVI uses LED headlight.

If our expensive cars don't have LED headlight, damn sia suay le.

@kermitfm Would like to see a follow up to include the 371.3k HEV and PHEV cars that was excluded in the current study. This a good sizable population of vehicles and about 9x the population of BEVs (41.6k) that was included in the current study. The supplementary note indicates that PHEV have more issues compared to ICEs while HEV gave -26% less problems compared to ICEs. Combining both PHEV and HEV into a single group indicates an enhanced longevity and mileage compared to ICE.

With more HEVs on the road going forward in Singapore, the longevity and mileage of these type of vehicles would be interesting.

Actually, I have seen a few BYDs with drivers letting go after a few months of usage. What could be the cause?

https://www.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.php?ID=1370382&DL=4343

See!!! Even in your example, a 9 years old Atto is still being advertised for $140k.

 

This is higher depreciation than a brand new 10 years COE Atto, which is going for $150k now: https://bydcars.sg/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/BYD-Pricelist-6-Feb-–-16-Feb-2025-.pdf

 

So, what is the cause for high prices of second hand EV? Are second hand EV so popular? 
 

Haha I’m looking for good second hand EV deals since many ppl says prices drop a lot. But I can’t find any 😞

Honda no plan to be top 1 best selling cars, so they no need to lelong their cars. Also honda all the while is premium jap cars, so car price must maintain premium also. 😂

Honda AD doesn’t have any suitable product for our market.

However, Honda still doing well in USA and South East Asia.

Go check again.

The car depre of 2-3 year car is the same or higher as a brand new Tesla…..

Second hand EV car having no buyer and low prices is a myth 😞
