New Car Tax Holiday!

[ixeo]

Syukurlah! Government giving sales tax holiday for new cars. 10% for CKD and 5% for CBU.

Since I’m bored. Let’s play a game.

What car would you buy for each category. To keep things simple, prices are retail car prices, not discounted price, and keep in mind what spec you get cause it makes a difference

1. Below RM50k
2. RM50k to RM80k
3. RM80k to RM100k
4. RM100k to RM125k
5. RM125k to RM150k
6. RM150k to RM200k

You can go to carbase.my and search by min to max price to see the list of cars available.

I’ll go first

1. Saga full spec cause the thing can handle.
2. Since this is fake and I don’t have to really buy it, the VW Polo. I get “European“ quality made in India or Mexico I’m not sure. It’s not a CVT. Otherwise the Yaris seems nice, Jazz is EOL. Aisin 6 speed automatic, should be okay.
3. This segment is so limited. I would go with the base spec X70 or the D-Max 1.9L AT-P.
4. Subaru XV, fun looking. Dreary CVT.
5. Mazda CX-30
6. VW Passat. Think it’ll give the most luxurious drive, with a potent engine and a wet DSG. Of course in real life I’d probably buy a CX-5 2.5T so I don’t have to deal with VW Malaysia.

Hmm have never really paid attention to new cars and their prices, so tough to play coz cannot really remember available cars at those brackets.

I was surprised by the prices of HRV, CRV, Camry, Accord LOL. Their RRP is really crazy.

5% or 10% of the sales tax is meager and almost non-relevant if you ask me. All the prices are still high.

True. Sometimes during promo you will almost the same. If it is excise duty then a big difference

That's why I don't follow new car prices. Used cars only for me.

Dmax is very tempting.

Not when you buy a Ferrari or McLaren. Bangsawan like you drive Porsche... I guess to you is meagre.

I don't understand the logic, cannot use pickup for personal non-commercial use? If the person stay kampung, road like shit. Government want to give, but actually cannot afford to give cause they song lap left right.
