Part

When I changed to my current car, I traded in my first car, a 2007 MyVi.

There was another MyVi in the house, originally belongs to my younger brother, but when he migrated, the ownership was passed to me.

Wifey's the one using the car all these years, until she got her new car end of last year. Then it's the elder son who has been using the MyVi since he finally got his driving license.

Elder son started his university foundation year this June, and he doesn't want to drive there, so the MyVi has seen little use since then.

Younger son is year end baby, so by the time he can take his driving license, his high school years would be almost over, and if all goes as planned, there would be little time between the end of his high school and his tertiary education.

So we see little reason to keep the MyVi, and decided to sell it. Vehicle is liability, not asset, especially vehicle that's not regularly used.

When wifey was getting her new car, we asked about the trade in value for that MyVi. We didn't opted for the trade in since elder son could use the car, and the trade in value quoted was underwhelming.

We sold the MyVi to Carro, and we got 1.75x the price quoted seven months ago by Perodua. Yup, 1.75x, seven months after, says a lot about how bad the trade in price was, and how greedy Perodua is.

Today is the hand over day. So this entry is mainly to mark the date for future reference.

Good car, MyVi. Thanks for all the years of service, may you go on to serve your new owner for many more years.
