MPV resale economics: why the Alphard deserves full-car PPF
The Toyota Alphard 30/40 series and Vellfire are Hong Kong's most value-retaining 7-seaters — parallel-import new cars run HK$1–1.5M, Executive Lounge trims reach HK$1.8–2.2M, and 3-year-old cars typically hold 75–85% of new-car value. Limited-run colours (Executive Lounge Z, Modellista Edition) can even trend up slightly. Paint condition is the single biggest factor in Alphard resale valuation — dealers price front bumper, grille and sliding-door edge damage as a direct 3–8% deduction.
Full-car PPF at HK$18,000 – HK$30,000+ breaks even against the 3-year potential paint damage exposure (chrome grille pitting HK$8,000, front bumper chips HK$10,000, sliding-door edge scuffs HK$6,000). Add lifetime warranty covering the typical 5–7 year ownership cycle, and the ROI is clear. Corporate users especially value the Showroom-grade look — PPF is professional-grade standard for VIP transport, wedding hire and executive shuttle.
