    But I thought you were originally complaining about Hyundai's quality and not resale value. Did you change the focus because BMW has lower reliability ratings than Hyundai?



    EDIT: A check today still shows the resale value as $22-23K. Not bad for a 5 year old gas-guzzling 3-row SUV.



    Show me the evidence--people can always claim, hehe! BTW, resale value is directly proportional to reliability--since WHY would you buy a lemon?



    PS--it should be I HAD, NOT I have, IF you really sold it already



    "I have, a 2008 VeraCruz and had no quality complaints or reliability issues. Excellent value for the money IMHO. I feel it compared very favorably, quality-wise, with my wife's previous car, an Infiniti FX45 tho not near as fun to drive."--Gatorguy

    But the best-selling Android phones are reported to be the high-end ones.



    Just because the best selling individual phones might be high-end models does not mean that most Android phones sold are high-end models. Your logic is seriously flawed.



    People think Apple users are the ones living in the reality distortion field. Android fans who think that 850,000 high-end phones are being sold a day are the ones who need a reality check.

    No sir, I worded it quite properly. I said "Have you owned one? I have (owned one), (COMMA) and had (past tense) no quality complaints. . ."



    Just read more carefully.

    Yeah, like the guy with the M3 at the track with us last weekend who wrote off his car. Set off all the airbags and crunched all corners of his car.



    He thought his car handled "like it was on rails". Doesn't mean it can defy the laws of physics.



    BTW, I have nothing against BMW's. In fact, I'm a huge German car fan.

    Unfortunately I do NOT know you, and can't rely totally on your post--IF you show me the check I will believe you

    Of course you don't want to believe me, which wouldn't change the industry studies and surveys that found Hyundai with a better quality ranking than BMW. Without anything from the industry that disputes it (you don't have anything do you?), there's no need to continue a discussion about personal experiences that's strayed far off the original thread topic

    LOL! Then EXPLAIN to me the dramatically LOW scores Kia/Hyundai get as the car gets older--as I said those disposable cars have NO resale value because they do NOT last--they go straight to the junk yard--and don't post saying you SOLD your Kia because I will NOT believe you--show me the check!



    As for BMW go get its reliability ratings UNDER Luxury cars!



    BTW--Veracruz resale value is rated BELOW average compared to other brands of the same class!

    Give me your name and address and we'll get together to compare notes. I don't believe you're a real adult and own two BMW's

    No, I will not give you my information! I assess people based on their tastes and choice of products: high quality versus low, long-term versus disposable, expensive versus cheap! I already have the 2008 Hyundai resale rating anyway--BELOW average (proves MY point) so why deal with someone like you, LOL! I am and I do!

    Thank you for clarifying. You've changed to discussing resale value rather than better quality or reliability, the part you were initially mistaken about.



    Now perhaps everyone can get back to the original topic.

    Then simply post a link that shows BMW with better overall reliability or quality ratings than Hyundai. Otherwise all your personal experiences with the brand are just that. . . personal.



    I've no doubt the other readers are already tired of this and ready to get back on topic.

    LOL--the 2 are NOT even on the SAME level! It's like comparing Apple and Samsung, an iOS and an Android---hilarious and totally PREPOSTEROUS!

    No, you can steal cpu's and flash chips, but you can't steal ideas. This is precisely why the patent system in this country is so screwed up.

    Samsung's R&D also already covered by Apple, so Samsung can absorb zero percent margin as they deservingly should.



    LOL! what? Samsung's Galaxy R&D is already covered by Apple?



    Are you saying Apple with all its magnomity is paying Samsung to develop its own Galaxy lines to avoid anti-trust?



    man, you fanbois logic is ..

    Apple products are great, but OVERPRICED!!!



    Well, actually Samsung Semi's margin is around 15%; Appliance & Media's margin is razor-thin; while LCD's is sometimes I think in the negative terrotory. I think Samsung Mobile's porfit was also around 15% last quarter. So the net aggregate for the entire company, I think, was around 8 or 9% as of last quarter.



    I'm guessing that Samsung's mobile's revenue and profit now account for at least 35% or 40% of the entire company (Samsung Electronics). Also compare that to iPhones' share of Apple's revenue : 70%.

    I never said that most Android phones are high-end models. In fact, I said that I have never seen Android sales broken down by model, that you have not either, and that you have no idea of the proportions.



    I mean REALLY.
