A used 2024 BYD Seal Premium is on sale at Hobimobil in PIK 2, Tangerang, for Rp 430 million, down from its initial launch price of nearly Rp 640 million, detikoto reported.
The vehicle has traveled 48,000 kilometers since its release. Dealership owner Ricky Prawiro said the price drop represents a depreciation of 20 to 30 percent since the model hit the market.
“So (the depreciation) is 20-30 percent (so far). That’s the 2024 model, (in) a year (the decline) is 10-15 percent,” said Ricky Prawiro, owner of Hobimobil. New models of the same variant now cost roughly Rp 860 million. The Extended Range version runs on an 82.56 kWh Blade battery.
Driving Range and Motor Power Reach 650 Kilometers
The vehicle delivers an NEDC-tested driving range of up to 650 kilometers on a single charge. Its electric motor generates 230 kW of power, equivalent to 312 PS, alongside 360 Nm of torque. Monthly installments cost about Rp 11 million per month over a 59-month term. Demand for Chinese electric vehicles in the secondary market remains steady for specific nameplates, according to the dealership.
“Almost all (used) BYD electric cars sell quickly, except for the Atto 3. But the Seal and Sealion sell quickly. People say, ‘Ah, the price of Chinese cars will crash.’ If we compare it to leading Japanese cars, the depreciation is the same,” Prawiro said.
Used Market Demand
The market contrast between the current new vehicle price of Rp 860 jutaan and the used price of Rp 430 jutaan highlights substantial value shifts for early adopters. While models like the Seal and Sealion draw quick buyers, inventory turnover varies across the brand’s lineup.
Prawiro said that the Atto 3 does not move at the same fast pace as its showroom stablemates. Financing terms at the Tangerang location remain available with a 59-month structure for interested buyers. Dealership representatives have not disclosed whether additional pre-owned units with lower mileage will arrive at similar price points.
