Why does the Teana not retain its value?

[MelanieFitz]

The Teana's poor value retention is primarily due to three main reasons: rapid model price reductions, the general depreciation of Japanese cars, and relatively poor sales performance. Among its peers, the Teana lags behind competitors such as the Passat, Magotan, and Accord. Additionally, the pricing of the Teana is another factor affecting its depreciation rate. Methods to determine whether a car is new are as follows: 1. Check the manufacturing date: The vehicle's manufacturing date should match the date on the certificate of conformity, which is usually difficult to alter. If the manufacturing date exceeds 15 days, it is considered an old car. 2. Inspect the brake discs: Most modern small passenger vehicles use disc brakes (at least for the front brakes), making the brake discs a reliable indicator. Typically, after driving more than 200 kilometers, the brake pads will leave noticeable marks on the brake discs. There is usually a 1-2 mm gap between the brake pads and the outer edge of the brake discs. After a certain distance is traveled, a noticeable "ledge" (very low in new cars) will form on the outer edge of the brake discs.
