Yeah, you're right probably a bit exagerated. I gave the example in simple terms. I used big round numbers to show a difference. Gotta admit I dont think the value would be that drastic of a difference, maybe I should have said paid $15 new and worth $10 or $11 immediately after, or something. Afterall this is just my semi-educated opinion...I'm no expert, just some dude on the internet. But I do think, that while the Korean cars' resale value is getting better it does still fall far behind the industry norm. These are things car buyers should certainly consider when thinking about purchasing a Korean car or any car for that matter.
