vehicle values

This suggests that these vehicles generally have a low market value when sold privately, reflecting their age, model, and possibly condition. There are no records of higher price brackets in this dataset, indicating that private sales for this vehicle are uniformly low-priced during this period.
production years
The data indicates that, within the sample of Daewoo Kalos vehicles from 2002 to 2005, a slightly higher proportion were manufactured in 2004 (53.7%) compared to 2003 (46.3%). Notably, there are no vehicles on record from 2002 or 2005 in this particular dataset, which could suggest that the majority of registered or available vehicles are from the 2004 model year. This distribution may reflect production or registration trends during that period.
