Taitung City is a city with a current population of 109584 . However, it is hard to find more than three Seat MII on the local car market at the same time. Therefore, the supply is little and the demand depends on various of factors such as maintenance costs, fuel mileage, and reliability.
As shown below, cars of the make Seat and specially of their model MII devaluate in a very usual process. The mean asking price of the MII will be decreased by 13% ($21,003) after only one year. After three years, the car typically is sold for about 64% of its original asking price ($14,912) while it will only be valued at 27% of the original price after 7 years ($6,871). The MII's value after 12 years is only 10% of its original price depending on its condition of course.

The MII looses most of its value (~ 47%) within the first 30,000km of its mileage. The typical price for a MII at that mileage is $13,698. After that the devaluation plateaus: at 90k km the Seat MII is sold for $7,843 in Taitung City and for $4,044 at 180k kilometers .
