he just texted me about kastam excise duty?
i was like ... whaddafcuk?
kastam excise duty? jesus christ whats going on

and as for NCD, he told me last sunday when i put all the DP he was going to handle it the very next day, and by tuesday when i texted him he said done about NCD. so it was about 2 days? 3 days maximum how do i know he bluffed me or not. and he was going to handle those number plate retention thing. then i decided not to contact him until just now when i bashed him kaw.

i asked him how many f days he needs and he told me next week latest tuesday. this time i took it like he said nothing considering the earlier promise about friday and i insisted do not go beyond this week. he should have comeback and update me on this. instead i need to contact him then only he told me these shite.

Last time, Toyota and Honda were among the first mainstream manufacturers in Malaysia which offered new features such as dual airbags, abs+ebd, vtec or vvti, and electronic controlled transmission.

Don't you think that the good resale value that they enjoyed today was due to the fact that the older Toyota and Honda cars still have the relevant features which are now just started to be used by others especially the local brands?

2.0S need kastam excise duty? First time i hear

it is more than just features mentioned.
long story cut short, resale value depends on either demand, or market confidence
since honda, toyota rarely sell high demand vehicles here thus great resale value must down to market confidence

market confidence born out of several key performance parameters. hard to crack, durability, easy to maintain, easy to repair, easiness to misuse (k20a haha). those features, especially the safety stuffs could contribute as well but we dont know for sure how people in the past value those airbags, abs, etc etc.

excise duty exist  for CKD vehicles and if my memory serves me well, for 2.0L car it is about ... 75%? 85%? the other is sales tax which is 10%

i dont know how the arrangement of excise duty to be paid before the car is put for sale. they should have cleared it when CIF value comes out and before the car deported to customers.

Price will reduce,but not so fast...Must slowly change the tax...It's terrible and horrible!

Agree, it will reduce but very slowly. Tax is a source of income for the cronies. !!!
I think it will take 5 - 10 yrs to gradually reduce price provided they dun retain power la.
I am really hoping there will be more Hybrid personal tax exemptions in the coming budget. But, still worry at Hybrid battery may Kong after year 5.
Anybody got any comments? =)

I'M waiting for 0% tax for other country car such as Merz benz,bmw,volkswagen,audi,toyota,honda....
