ohh.. thanks!

but how bout the shipping/contena cost?? all include?

Seems a lot has changed since I bought back my car in 2003....

Getting an AP was very easy. Got mine in a day. As long as you have all the documents you should be fine. Same conditions like now, 9 months ownership, studying overseas for at least a year, etc. They'll also want to see your road tax and insurance overseas.

Customs was a headache though. At the time, my 1.8L Lancer was taxed at 170%!!! To compound the problem further, the customs will value the car THEMSELVES, not the value that you bought the car! They kept insisting using the Japanese price of a Lancer instead of the price of my Australian-assembled Lancer which was much cheaper. You can show your receipt, invoice, whatever, and they'll still ignore it and use their price.

Luckily though, the value of the car is negotiable. They'll consider depreciation, and of course deduct the value of the tax you paid overseas. I ended up paying about 90% of the value of the car for the customs duty, which is still quite high but better than paying 170%.....

wow...after reading bout tis.....i try tis way to a newly launched Nissan GT-R Premium which cost around RM236,100.
guess wat? the price here will be about RM858,900.......man.....

Really so high? zOMGWTFKNNBBQ...Dam Proton and Perodua, all your fault!!!

based on the calculation,i think our government is big robber!!!

actually where all collected duty fee goes?is it will become part of government fund which will using for develop our country?

i think the amount must be alot since many people afford to buy luxury car here

if no tax were charged on overseas vehicles, hm..... i guess our daily life money usage will be less = less incomes
right? a tiny changes on vehicles taxes will oso changes our country's economy.

this has nothing to do with becoming a citizen,this is a citizen bringing back the car to Malaysia

the 600 pound is the inclusive contena cost and all until sampai to msia. but if u want to take insurance itll cost u some more.

where u guys normally import car back...i'm from US...In the states all most of the cars are left handed...sigh

well to bad for u there contrea

LOL haha...yeah thats pretty bad...feel like getting the latest skyline R35 back hehe

i see if got lots and lots of $$$$$ can lorrr....

anybody know how much is the price for Skyline R35 or the imprezza STI 08 or 09 version?

in Ringgit Malaysia? I already stated the price for R35 GT-R Premium above
wow....approx RM3.8k inclusive of freight cost to import your car from UK without insurance? how to calculate the freight anyway haha... i'm too noob. and insurance all same price (RM1000)?

ap fees charged goes to certain politicians and their lil puppies....not government or anybody or race......any imported cars from any dealer needs an AP, as long as have CBU tag or grey import

sitting on AP rights.. to charge whatever they desire (may go up to 20k or more).. getting fat/rich for doing nothing but just for the privilage awarded because of contacts... this on top of the high tax... makes the Malaysian system... very flawed

agreed
wut about selling AP then? some of my friends told me it could even fetch to 10k..

if my fren in japan, bringin here 2cars, 1 is his, 1 mine... How d taxes will be? He's student... So he'll get d AP right? but for my car?

One AP per person overseas.... He will have to find another Malaysian that qualifies for an AP to bring another car...

Ooo.. Thanks... So if he bring in both, the other 1 will be taxed fully charged right? Sigh..
