My SA said that first batch would probably get their car by December

Get by December?? Thats the WORST time to register a new car. Within 1 month, your car is considered 1 year old and for Korean cars, every cent you get from resale value must be treasured.

Do you guys know why many car manufacturers like to launch new models in Malaysia towards end of the year? 1 of the main reasons is because they use a year end launch in Malaysia as a method to push off current year stock from other countries.

There is always a lul in car sales towards year end as everybody knows the massive drop in resale value coming if they register too late. Thus, many car manufacturers use the year end period to create excitement by launching new models then.

My advise to everybody is not to get caught up with the euphoria of a new launch. Be patient, weigh your options and decide whats best before committing to a car purchase. Always remember that in Malaysia, car purchases are like buying a property (minus the returns) with a lot of thinking and evaluation required before purchasing. The idea is to always try and minimise losses.

So dont rush and register a car after Aug/Sept. If you can, then please wait for the following year model. But if ure trading in a car, then do the math first.

Bro Fluid, Honda launch CR-Z d lor... apa Hyundai Malaysia and SDAC buat ah...

bro u wanna change car in every 5 years better go for T & H lo...if u plan for long term use like more than 7 years then resale value is not ur main priority liao...coz any car of 9years or so resale value pretty much similar...won't hv huge gap...

for long term u shud focus more on FC, comfort, safety and most importantly u love the car...set ur budget then go test drive a few cars 1st b4 u decide...tatz wat i hv been doing lately...to date i think i hv test driven up to 10 cars lolz 

those cars range from small to large size...performance to family type...juz name it...308 turbo, sylphy, teana, M3, fiesta, focus tdci, golf tsi, forte, altis, sonata, tucson...why so many?coz i buy for long term so wanna make very sure i buy the car i like and won't regret it for the rest of 9 years owning it
