Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Fix it or Flip it: Would a hybrid hold its value better than a petrol SUV over the next five years?
Q: Do hybrids hold value differently than petrol SUVs over the next five years?
It's mixed; hybrids offer better running costs and may retain value for some buyers, but the overall depreciation depends on fuel prices, policy incentives, and consumer perception of hybrid technology. The host and guest suggest the outcome is uncertain and could hinge on market dynamics by 2030.
Fix it or Flip it: Would a hybrid hold its value better than a petrol SUV over the next five years?
Q: What is your take on the depreciation curve for popular used models like the BRZ or Land Cruiser in this market?
Depreciation typically accelerates in the first four to five years, but certain vehicles with strong demand and robust build quality—like the BRZ for enthusiasts or the Land Cruiser for reliability—can stabilize and hold value better once that initial drop has occurred. Timing the sale to avoid the early peak depreciation is key.
How the conflict is shaping car prices and supply?
Q: What would you say to encourage more women to join workshops or the automotive industry?
She advocates open-minded hiring, fair evaluation of skills, strong training programs, and a culture that supports collaboration and eliminates gender bias in heavy-lifting roles.
How the conflict is shaping car prices and supply?
