Cheap car prices in Malaysia

Assalamualaikum and good afternoon.

Found this link quite long time ago..

http://beritasemasa.com/harga-kereta-mm2h-malaysia


But since reduction of car price is quite a hot topic, this link could help give indication of the car OTR prices without taxes..( Most of the cars in the table are filled based on old prices since it was not updated but it can be ensure that the prices follow  the current tax calculation based on updated rate in 2006)

It can be seen certain brands like Mercedes and BMW are still on the high side / premium prices. But lets have a look on something common like Toyota Vios. Without all the taxes, a 1.5 G version is selling at 55k compare the taxed prices which is around 84k+..A quick search to the mm2h price for current Honda city E Spec shows it is priced at 62k compared to 90k with taxes included.

Much more affordable I think!

How about the national car prices?With the current prices, our national cars are also being taxed like other foreign brands. Based on the link, a Waja that was priced at 59k could be priced at 39k without all the taxes. With this indication, a Preve model is estimated a starting price of 40k compared to 59k+ with the current price and a myvi which is the best selling car in Malaysia could be priced at around 35k compared to 50k for the Premium Ezi. However, a quick search based on Langkawi car prices shows the saving would be only as much as 10k. This is still rather expensive! A quick search for Proton car's prices without VAT in UK however showed Savvy AMT could be price at GBP 7.1k..Therefore,the price shown in the list is not impossible..

Honestly, I am fully support for affordable car prices and I am believed that our national car maker could also be benefited with this.
