Hyundai brand value

I am wondering why there are not enough Hyundai cars on
the roads in Qatar? They have significantly improved their quality and are at par with Japanese in terms of reliability and exceed them in terms of features and warranty.

I am thinking of buying 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe but wondering what could be the downside other than disapointing resale value?

Thanks

i just want to ask, why all those who are buying cars they always thinking of the resale value? owning a car in doha is not an investment, its a necessity. so why they always thinking of the re-sale value wherein you are going to use that car for how many years. by that time even if you sell the car for a cheaper price, its not worth anymore because your car is old enough. maybe there are some parts or major parts that need to be replace. if that the case you cannot sell it to a bigger price. do you still think about the resale value? if you want to buy a car, any brand or model, just think how that car will help you in everyday life. if you think the resale value? buy a ferrari or lamborghini. with this car, even after 5-10 years you can still sell it expensively...

Price for spare parts of all brands of cars are almost close or the same.

now the only BIG issue here is the re-sale value as most of us comments.

Hyundai has improved a lot in recent times. They give value for money, infact I am recent owner of Hyundai 2013 model vehicle in Qatar. I feel following are the drawbacks of hyundai.

1) The dealer is very sluggish no that active or craving for buisness hence will not announce any offers or discounts for these vehicles.

2) Dealer is one of the stupidest in this world, doesn't bring Full options model at all to Qatar, he brings the clipped versions which is worth for nothing, where as the same vehcile full options will be available in UAE, Saudi & Kuwait GCC markets

3) 2013 Santafe is really excellent option to go with, it has lot of features which a luxury crossover will not delivery you, but as i said above DEALER does not have full options in qatar so better check all features in showroom before decision.

That is your perspective. Parts are as expensive as Japanese cars. Majority of the used car buyers will not go for Korean cars so very poor resale value.
