It might be a little outside your budget, since you mentioned your maximum is capped at 13 million.Regarding the resale value drop, yeah, that was my biggest concern as well. Personally, I think the depreciation will be similar to, or even less than, buying a 10 year old vehicle compared to a brand new one, When your buying a vehicle that's already done 100,000 km, you also need to factor the potential repair costs,  Imagine having to replace the battery, that's fucked up.My thinking was to keep the vehicle for at least another 3 to 5 years. Apart from the normal running costs, when you have the agent warranty, there's nothing much to worry.Also the future is clearly moving towards EVs, Even in Australia where fuel is much cheaper than here EV adoption is growing fast, You might have seen the news about BYD's massive shipment of nearly 5,000 vehicles arriving there which shows where the market is heading,So I don't really think very old Japanese vehicles will be attractive in another 5 years especially with technology evolving so quickly.So after considering all of that, I decided to go with a brand new option, From the Japanese models, only Vezel caught my eyeHowever Vezel Z was around 20 million at the time I was buying, which was well beyond my budget.For me, X55 offered a good balance of looks, features, warranty coverage, and overall value for money at that price point. Compared to the Vezel, fuel consumption is a bit higher and the Vezel will probably hold its resale value, but I felt the extra features, comfort, and the peace of mind of buying brand new made the X55 the better choice for me<hr />what did you end up buying ??------ Post added on [DATETIME="UT"]1780679713[/DATETIME]</blockquote>
