Depends on people's brains actually.
see, this is the example i can give - i wanted to sell my Samsung mobile with lots ov features for Rs. 5000. many suggested that its value was actually lesser owing to Chinese mobiles flooding the market with all the same, yet for a thousand less, brand new. my phone went at a good price, because the next owner knew the drawbacks ov Chinese phones, the worst being no protective device to save your ears from the radiation as is the case with genuine, Finland, Holland mobiles. (this is why the sounds ov Chinese mobiles are SO loud)
Back to this car, value is retained for those who deeply understand the difference between a Japanese built car v/s local crap.
