“Old Fadil Owner Trades in Four-Year-Old Car for Brand New VF 8, Driving Away with a Sweet Deal Worth Tens of Millions of Dong”

Vinfast’s Gasoline Vehicles: Zero Depreciation After 4 Years of Use

“I recently acquired a 2021 Vinfast Fadil with 45,000 km on the odometer for over 300 million VND. After some minor touch-ups, I plan to sell it for around 330 million VND,” said Hoang Thai, a car salon owner in Hanoi. Thai went on to explain that his salon accepts an unlimited number of Vinfast vehicles because of the high customer demand and their ability to hold their value in the used car market.

According to Thai, the previous owner of the Fadil he acquired didn’t have to spend any money on the car after almost four years of use. The owner sold the car to upgrade to a VF 8 electric vehicle through Vinfast and FGF’s trade-in program. “The previous owner purchased the car through a preferential policy for Hai Phong customers, and the on-road price was only 300 million VND. After using it for four years, they sold it for the same price,” Thai said. For those who bought the car at the original price, the depreciation after four years of use is estimated at around 100 million VND.

This trend is not limited to the Fadil model; other Vinfast gasoline vehicles, such as the Lux A2.0 and SA2.0, have also maintained their value over the years, even experiencing price increases during certain periods, despite no longer being commercially produced by the company.

“For the Lux A 2022 model, I used to buy it for around 550-560 million VND, depending on the condition. However, recently, I had to pay 570-580 million VND to acquire one,” said Tran Vy, another used car salon owner. Compared to the best price of around 650 million VND for the on-road price, the depreciation for the Vinfast Lux A is less than 100 million VND after three years of use.

A survey of several used car buying and selling groups also revealed that the Vinfast Lux SA 2.0 model is being sold for prices ranging from 650 million to over 700 million VND, depending on the version, reflecting a slight increase compared to two months ago.

Market Demand for Vinfast Vehicles: Quality and Value Retention

Vy observed that Vinfast vehicles are in high demand in the used car market, and their value compared to their price is among the best in the market. The reason behind this demand is the proven quality of Vinfast vehicles, which has been established over years of presence on the roads.

Unparalleled After-sales Service: A Key Factor in Vinfast’s Value Retention

Car salon owners agree that, in addition to superior quality, the 10-year warranty offered by Vinfast is a crucial factor in their vehicles’ ability to retain value over the years. This warranty period surpasses the market standard, as most manufacturers typically offer a three-year warranty, with only a few offering up to five years.

“Ten years is a sufficient period to depreciate a car’s value. Therefore, Vinfast users can rest assured during their ownership,” said Manh Thai, another car salon owner. The extended warranty also makes it easier to inspect used cars, facilitating quicker transaction decisions for both buyers and sellers.

According to car dealers, Vinfast’s commitment to customer satisfaction also plays a significant role in building trust. With 120 service centers nationwide, Vinfast offers the largest network of service centers in Vietnam, ensuring easy access to maintenance and repairs. Vinfast has also won over customers with its exceptional after-sales policies, including a 24-hour parts guarantee and service centers that remain open every day.

Observers also attribute Vinfast’s success to its customer-centric business strategy, which prioritizes the satisfaction of existing customers. By continuously offering gifts such as vacation vouchers, vehicle maintenance vouchers, and attractive trade-in incentives of up to 120 million VND when switching from any gasoline vehicle to a Vinfast electric vehicle, Vinfast has set a new standard for both products and services in the market, as noted by Nguyen Manh Hung, a long-time market observer. He emphasizes that the satisfaction of previous customers is a key factor in ensuring that Vinfast vehicles, whether electric or gasoline, maintain their value in the used car market.
