BYD Leapord 8 vs Denza B8 or GCC Byd Leapord 7 Titanium, or Sealion 8
Well, I missed the mark. Posted in a couple other threads but long story short, I was about to buy a BYD Leapord 8 from Alibaba when January came around and can't import them any more. Or at least as I understand it, can't import the newest years.
With the limited supply already in the UAE, prices jumped up to the same as the Denza B8 (~220k).
So I'm back to square 1. Is it possible for me to still get a Chinese Leapord 8 for less than 200k? Even if it's a year older or so?
If not, should I consider getting the Denza (which honestly might be more than I'm willing to pay) or downgrade to the Leapord 7 Titanium or Sealion 8?
Tech for the buck is important for me (like autopilot, rear entertainment, etc) but deal breakers are trunk space with the 3rd row as I have 4 kids and need to fit their school bags, groceries, etc when the 3rd row is up.
