shit! Just receive a very bad news. My car arrive at port. But custom dun issue document for clearing duty. I call VGM and they cant give me an explanation. My SA told me this is exactly like the case as passat cc! First they hold the clearance duty until new price finalize! And i heard the next affected model is golf gti. Can someone verify this issue?

Same thing happened to me when my car arrived at the port i still had to wait around 3-4 weeks for the custom n vgm to settle everything and another week for the bank to approve my loan. I've never heard anything about new pricing for golf gti though. Its okay just be patience n wait for a few more weeks u wont regret it when u get the car later

So it takes about a month from the date your car arrive the port until the clear duty date! The thing is I already get my loan approved and signed. Now waiting car to clear duty and get document to register a number plate for my car.

I wonder where they store the car during this period... Cant imagine if few week the car is store near the port. Getting balzing sunlight and errosive sea wind everyday. It would be very bad the the car

Any other new car owner have these experiences also please share.

I faced the same issue previously. It takes about 1 week to 2 weeks before they can clear the car at port.

is normal to accumulate dust and etc, my SA help me send for good car wash before deliver to me

sent my sis' gti for service few days ago and had a look at the showroom in batu lanchang penang. man, the polo sedan is basically a pure ripoff. hard plastics everywhere and you feel like sitting inside a 50k car. the salesgirl was like yeah, we dont even know how to sell polo sedan so they gave us the 'low interest' bank loan to help us sell. marvelous. isit true that she said the goverment played a role in preventing other marques from lowering their prices too much?

The hold up is different from normal delay. It is the custom is re-evaluating the price and tax like what happen to passat cc last year!!!

SOS

Someone can verify?

I am somewhat interested in the Passat because it meets the size criteria, but I don't want to have servicing nightmares.

So need some owners honest opinion about the car service centers, I've read supposedly the best service center for VW is the OKR branch.

But what about the other branches? I've read conflicting reports but the worse so far it seems is the Glenmarie branch.

Cost of servicing variates around RM300++ to RM500 for standard service and RM900++ to RM1.5k depending on the work done. This is acceptable to me as price wise, it's really not that much more expensive compared to the Japanese makes.

hello folks!! its been a whike i dont post here!!

Yeah it is sitting out in the open air, sun shine and rain all kena. Heck check your rotors man, i know the cars which were stuck at the port end up having rusted brake rotors. Easiest to spot.

Call up VGM, it is confirm that the Polo GTI is been hold-up since last week due to custom re-evaluation of the price and tax!

So now I have 2 choice:

1. Wait until the new price and tax is announce
PRO: with the possible new price at 173888 for new order while I still have the old price. car value is instant boost up with better resale value
CON: Car sitting at unknown storage for long period of time causing rust problem. (Passat CC owner who got their car caught up last year for 6 month!)

2. Cancel order and move on to next car (or upgrade to golf )
PRO: not getting anxiety and sleepless night for waiting too long
CON: Might miss up a great chance for car value boost up, and might be shorter evaluation time this round
new batch might have better equipment (automatic air-con, leather seat like SG model)


What is your opinion guys? Passat CC owner who go through the same dilemma please share your story.

While I tempt mention 3rd choice would be changing the ruling party to abolish to custom re-evaluation, let's leave that for other tread ya

Hearsay that Golf GTI is the next model Ketam going to review!

Hi guys...
Just went to Wearnes Sg Besi to checkout their stock clearance promo and was told last Polo 2011 model was sold out semalam.. geezz

any sifu know anywhere else having special promo for polo? TQ

COngrats bro

The CC is coming very, very soon .....

http://www.kensomuse.com/the-volkswagen-cc...tions-revealed/

The CC will be around on Monday. I'll have pics from the event launch.

Nice, bro!

What about Jetta?

any idea if they've decided not to bring in 2.0 but only 1.8??

I went to Wearnes Sg Besi on Wednesday to do my 30k service. Unexpectedly, They gave me 1 litre Castrol Edge Professional engine oil to take home, FOC. Quite useful to keep it, in case a need to top up the engine oil in the future.

U able to keep the old price? Sure?

aw man, new CC engine got nerfed
