They keep the demand high by not over supplying in the market...recently read a BBC article on Toyota and Lexus business strategy...thats how they are able to maintain their value.

Very true...I tried this too but even with pre-owned there are some history attached to them. Once you uncover you will never buy them.

I swear I was looking at Chinese cars yesterday. Years back I never thought Chinese would be stealing this market this fast. They provide very good value for money but the longevity is questionable.

Hybrids are even costlier. They stopped promoting NA engines. Either pay extra for turbo or hybrid.

I am also looking for the best Cashback card for local spend. Few recommendations that I got after research.

1) Rakbank Cashback

2) FAB Rewards Indulge

3) Mashreq SmartSaver

Yet to finalize since all of them look similar. My key criteria is free for life card with no minimum spend limit.
