i am very scared that when my REP expired i still have yet to buy any car

2 cars actually

I wish i have all the money in the world to buy two great cars

unfortunately my budget is just for one car

Yeah, was contemplating between Volvo V40 or Volvo S60. S60 will get facelift next year (with probably all the goodies in v40) but i am afraid my REP will be expired by then

Both having massive 70k discount tho. V40 is on a better pricing i guess. But S60 has the space that i yearn for...

Shortlisted these 2 and Subaru XV as my final choice. Subaru XV is below 100k OTR without insurance which makes it quite a good buy under REP programme.

Technically it's next year 2014 model but looking at the sales figure of Volvo I don't think it will be anytime soon.

Rm97,574.50 OTR excluding insurance

That's even better. My REP was only approved after I return lol even though I submitted my application months ahead due to some documents they required were not complete and also the long processing time. I was worried it will not be approved

Oops, i report in a week after I got the approval. Haha. Since I already back in malaysia

Think BMW and Merc offer quite good price (-70k ish) for CKD models but its still around RM 200k mark.

True that the benefits are not great. the 15% tax offer is rather medicore. It would only benefit someone with very high income.

Sadly i came back because i have to not because i wanted to... No choice coz Visa expired and company not willing to renew due to strict immigration rules and high costs.

Am sure if the govt put discount in terms of house purchasing then it will be very attractive

Yes. And it covers certain fields and the requirement is stated on talent corps website


Hmmm. Not sure if this is still valid

As long as your work falls under to any of the National Key Economic Areas (NKEAs) in the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) (google it) and you meet the criteria stated in the website regarding the eligibility (I.E. no outstanding loans with govt and residing and working overseas for a handful amount of years based on your qualification) it should suffice.

Just slap another 10% to langkawi price and you should be able to grasp the price for REP.

Seems like 2.0 no longer in the 100k range. Guess I will strike this out of the list :3

Still considering S60 T4 or V40 T5 as first car and a sub 100k car for 2nd

dropped by Honda showroom today.

here is REP price for the new Accord

Work for 3 months first and get at least 3 months pay slip? Unless you are urgently in need of a car.

I purchased a property as soon as I am back using my job offer letter and contract and it quite troublesome as I need to provide a lot of documents but that is doable.

Well, if you have a good job offer, I think they could work something out.

Yea. the new civic build quality is sub par tho. not really to my liking. I am considering Accord and Volvo V40 or maybe Sylphy (new model next year hopefully) and Volvo S60

If i recall correctly, C180 is around 160k ish without insurance

isnt it the same price i gave? i got it from Federal Auto Glenmarie

If you are interested, i have the price for the 60 series as well. S60, V60 and XC60

the price on the website is slightly outdated as they have a price revision recently.

Heard there is possibility of A series going into CKD if the sales is good

Perhaps it's worth the wait

i havent get my car yet. my REP incentive runs out end of next year. Still deciding which 1 to go for. tough choice. we have a few forumers here who already bought the cars

Yeah, the insurance is the killing point. As for maintenance, volvo is offering 5 years free maintenance, warranty and on the road. i think its quite a good offer compared to the rest. The rest of the continental car manufacturer doesnt seem to have good offers

huh i tot the main office is at surian tower at mutiara damansara? i hope everything goes smoothly for you. The interview is nothing much but just showing them the documents for approval.

i am still thinking of getting v40 OR s60 but i think i would want a 2014 car so i guess i will wait

(plus now my new house is under renovation so my pocket is bbleeding badly )

I wish i have the $$$ to get those luxurious european cars.

My pick would be Accord and V40 which is around RM120 range (and if budget allows, S60 instead of V40)

Why oh why they don't offer an attractive rebate on house purchasing or extra deduction on housing loan interest
