It's pretty expensive nowadays, especially in KL. I'm being conservative with that figure as well.
Yup, those days a million is hard to come by, not nowadays. Plenty of Ferrari here now, not mentioning the other makes....
Condo in MY starts 300K ?? Really?

So, I may be car-less and home-less when I get back :(
Probably can start with an apartment......
Landed property even worse.
Probably have followed car prices upwards.....
Any reasons for your return? If not, can continue, if you are comfortably earning a living there....
Love it here, perfect place for a car guy like me. I have had so much fun so far, autox & track days keep me going. At the end of the day, family is back home in MY. Cost of living is lower back home too.
Okay, means had your fun and now have to go back to reality........
Just wondering, are you eligible for AP? How long have you been in the States?
A performance car is pretty much a privilege over here, not a lot of people get to experience it. It's definitely not as accessible as it is overseas, what with the different rules and tax regulations. So if it's possible financially, I highly recommend you to bring a car home. After all, it'd be bloody damn difficult going from a Porsche to 660cc Perodua Viva. Worse comes to worse, you'd still be able to sell it to earn a profit and buy/rent a property. Just my 2cents.
By the way, to answer you, any M3 is a pretty rare over here. Lots of wannabes, but that shouldn't put you off. BMW M cars are fantastic machines. I like the E30 M3 the most though..haha..
Mine is an old honda only. Even my GF was shocked at the buruk-ness, lol. No regrets though! :proud:
As for uk, just go to any well known shipping company. They will settle for you to ship back the car. In uk, you need to own the car for at least 9month to be eligible for AP -student. Then they will settle things like, insurance of the car being shipped in cargo in ship, apply for AP in Malaysia when the car reached, tax and top up value in Malaysia. Malaysia custom have a special table for added value of your car to be paid, not according to whatever value. Then you can appeal for it if it is too high price you to pay.
This apply 2yrs ago.
A very nice shipping company did it for my friend -bringing back a mini coop S. no need to do anything, wait for the car to arrive in 2 months plus.
The cargo will be shared with another person who also wanna ship back the car and he issuance will be shared too -for the cargo.
Car arrived in Malaysia custom till you settled in Malaysia custom.
I don't think it's that expensive 70k for shipping a car, by sea. Lots of American's been shipping cars from Japan to US, maybe you can ask the grey importers about cheaper shipping?
The 928 is very rare car in Malaysia. If you can you should bring it back. But you can't sell it off within 2 years or else you have to pay the extra tax you saved. Testarosa is too expensive even in USA.
How bout older Lambo, note their road tax though.
I doubt they calculate the price based on when it's new. Like that all the Grey Imports here can eat grass.
You have the AP, I suggest you utilize it. But 1 thing to note is the higher the CC, the higher the tax rate will be.
E46 are under rm60k nowadays. But you can't compare a family sedan with a sports.
Not sure if you need to own the car for at least 2 years in USA before you can ship it back though. Check with Malaysia Embassy.
PS. If you can buy a car & ship back & enjoy the tax deduction, i suggest you get a right hand drive car since there's alot in USA via grey imports. Sometimes local dealers pay AP holders to bring back car & sell it off in 2 years time to make profit. AP's hard to come by.
Uk car shipped here about 2k I think ( that day ask my friend ).
