yeap..noises due to rattling dashboard

So, how did your friend manage to find out which vehicle is is entitled to the tax exemption. It is difficult to find this information from the Net.

It doesnt matter "FULL" CKD or "partial" CKD...

Crony company can make the car mean "CKD"... mean it is entitle to much lower duty/tax...

BMW CKD list http://www.bmw.com.my/com/en/general/downl...elpricelist.pdf

partial CKD? I kenot brain.

I just return from overseas and have got my 2 ckd cars approved.

I wonder is it possible to buy 2 cars and sold it later ? I have read someting about the car cannot be sold and if wish to transfer onwership / sold later need to pay the duties .

Thank for the advice

Did you use the Returning Expert Program? I believe you can't sell it within 2 years once purchased, after 2 years the buyers will need to declare and repay the tax on the vehicle. But practically I have no idea how this work, you can contact the authority and find out more.

Mind if you could share your purchase info? e.g. what car did you get and how much tax saving you got?

Cheers!

ya
share with us wat car u bought n the price =)

how does this work? do they give the tax back in cash or the dealer just discounts it or how?

i'm also planning to use this in a few years time if it still exists

hi guys. Have you found out how it is possible to resell the car after 2 years? The info that I got is not very clear.

Quote from TalentCorp:
If I were to purchase my CKD vehicles tax-free, how long must I hold them before I am allowed to sell them off? Will I be paying any taxes when I sell them off?
Once you have purchased your two (2) CKD vehicles tax-free, you must have them in possession for a minimum period of two (2) years before you are allowed to sell them off to a third party. The third party will be responsible to pay to the Government any taxes payable incurred on the CKD vehicles depending on the make and model. Both cars must be registered under the recipient's name.

From the above, it seems that:
1. You CANNOT sell the cars off within first 2 years, AND
2. When you do sell if off after 2 years, the buyer has to pay the same amount of tax exempted in the beginning. No matter how old the car is during the sale.

Er, so there's no loop hole. Correct?

I think it should be the 3rd party need to pay the taxes on the depreciated value and not the taxes on the original price.

Hi Guys.. i attach few files to help those who need the REP progress to get 2 free CKD cars.


1) Get Talencorp approve (1 month) after submit all documents

2) Get Chasis Number and Engine number from your agent (after booked) (2 month, due to special make, tax free)

3) pass 2 Talent Corp letter to agent for the duty free car (allow agent to release the or endorse under your name)

4) Apply the Final letter from Minister of Finance (MoF), this can apply thru smpc.treasury.gov.my with engine, chasis, tax code information available from agent at step 2 with 5 working days (need Hasil Tax account). (this is final letter for JPJ and agent to release the car)

5) Enjoy your car.

Called Proton and spoke to a season Proton dealer. They claim they do no support REP scheme. Too bad.

As for Honda, only City (-RM20K), Accord, Civic (non Hybrid) and CRV (-RM30K) are under these scheme. The rest of the model not CKD.

This is based on 2012 info.

Which landrovers are CKDs?

Hello. I feel very inclined to respond to this thread so I've just registered in Lowyat. I've just returned to Malaysia under the REP so have been looking around for the best deals lately. Here is what I've learnt

1 - The tax free from excise duty and sales tax is granted to MM2H, REP and ADUN
2) Choices are limited and mostly the waiting list will be well over 3 months
3) When you book a CKD car with a dealer, first thing they need to do is allocate you with a chasis and engine that has not been paid for tax and duty. This is the problem since mostly all chasis and engines are paid for when they arrive. You see, when you make a booking, the dealer will actually have to book a chasis and engine under your name, meaning they will have to wait for new stock to arrive from overseas. Unfortunately, the carmakers will only order when the current stock is nearly finished. This is why the wait is at least 3 months, and it can span up to more than 6 months.
4) So finally when the chasis and engine is booked under your name, then only they can submit your application to MOF for tax relief entitlement. This can take about 2 weeks to a month (unless you know someone who is able to help you).
5) The list
a - Honda
Honda City, Civic and now Jazz will take you well over 3 months since they do not have new incoming stock. As for CRV, the turnaround time might be quicker since its old model
b - Volvo
I've been to Volvo and they do keep stock of non-paid tax chasis and engine so you can get your car between 1 to 3 months. The V60 (150k) and S60 (140k) will blow you away with their futuristic features, 1.6 turbo charged engine and 5 year warranty on parts and labour and roadside assistance!
c - Mazda
Only Mazda 3 at the moment. Price between 85k and 105k. The good nes is they do keep stock of non duty paid stock so you can gt your car in a month!
d - Hyundai
Hyundai Elantra have to wait 3 months, but Santa Fe and i10 they have ready stock. unfortunately Tucson is not CKD
e - Kia
Kia Sportage 130K wait 3 months. Kia Forte they may have non-duty paid stock
f) Merc and BMW
Never checked BM, but for Merc they do have allocation for tax free vehicles in their stock
g - Peugeot
Forget Nasim, since they do not entertain Tax Free customers.
h - Others
Watch out for Subaru XV and Mazda CX-5 coming early next year and 2nd quarter. I didn't bother with Nissan because they don't love Malaysia customers. Look at the European models like Qashqai and Juke and you know what I mean. Perodua will only give you up to 5k discount. Proton NO discount. Toyota have bland choices and the Camry CKD tax free price is only 30k discount or so..

damnnnn volvo s60 140k only, fuuuuu

BMW 320i, 320d, 328i, 520i, 520d, 528 M-sport, X1 18i, and X1 20d

Hi, any idea if the 7-seater Volvo SUV or MPV is CKD? I am eyeing the xc model.

No secret on this one

Model Market price - Tax free price = savings

S40 2.0 RM169,950.00 -RM109,508.86 =RM60,441.14
V50 2.0 RM185,950.00 -RM124,684.04 =RM61,265.96
V60 T4 RM230,000.00 -RM151,823.22 =RM78,176.78
V60 T5 RM269,000.00 -RM182,398.66 =RM86,601.34
S60 T4 RM220,000.00 -RM148,072.22 =RM71,927.78
S60 T5 RM255,000.00 -RM170,007.28 =RM84,992.72
XC90 D5 RM355,000.00 - RM244,868.69 =RM110,131.31
XC90 T5 RM355,000.00 - RM221,203.45 = RM133,796.55
XC60 T5 RM299,950.00 - RM215,755.37 = RM84,194.63
S80 T5 RM268,000.00 - RM189,997.44 = RM78,002.56
S80 T5 Exclusive RM295,000.00 - RM210,697.60 = RM84,302.40

Yes, people complain about the high prices of parts etc... but Volvo is offering Free maintenance for 5 years - including parts!

Imagine, you're on the way to Penang, and your car broke down in the middle of the highway. Call the Volvo roadside rescue and they will come to you - either give you a loan car so that you can continue your journey, or book a hotel for you if the need arises!

I'm officially a Volvo promoter!! haha

Volvo Launches Best-in-Class Coverage Plan
01/08/2012
5 year warranty, 5 years service and 5 years Volvo On Call for new Volvo customers

In its continued efforts to create value and provide a total luxury car ownership experience for its customers, Volvo Car Malaysia has launched an all new best-in-class coverage plan comprising a complementary five year warranty, five years service as well as five years Volvo On Call service.

The “5+5+5” offer is valid for all Volvo models manufactured in 2011 and purchased via its authorised distributor, Federal Auto Cars.

Volvo’s new “5+5+5” best-in-class coverage will provide Volvo car owners with peace of mind as well as the assurance of a worry-free driving experience.

This initiative is testament to the new Volvo philosophy “designed around you”, which is centered around understanding people and giving them a luxury experience that is a little more human-oriented, while at the same time anchored firmly on the Volvo heritage of building safe and dependable cars.

Volvo recommends regular scheduled maintenance service checks performed by authorised dealers to ensure trouble free driving experiences. However, should the need arise, Volvo On Call with onboard GPS technology is at hand to offer roadside emergency assistance and remote door unlocking. In the event of attempted break-ins, Volvo On Call Customer Service will be automatically alerted. The five year maintenance program also covers the first eight scheduled services at no charge.

For more information, please refer to your nearest authorised dealer. Terms and conditions apply.
