At here we are not suppose to chit chat about the politic issue, but when regarding to the car prices, let us be more mature, why the government keep saying the car prices cannot be lowered or slash the excise duty while other countries can do? Very easy and simple answer, because just look at our current government how they are spending our money and you will know why they always said the car prices cannot be lowered down lar, if not the revenue for government will suffer lar, later Proton cannot survive lar.... I think they better say their own "revenue" will suffer is better. So now someone asked buying car now or wait after election, very simple, if you can wait, then please wait a while and see what will happen. But if you can't wait, then just buy it, even if PR win the next GE, they need time to adjust and planning all these thing, so maybe it will takes up to months or years, who knows? But for sure, they won't straight drop down the car price, they will do it phase by phase if they really keep their promise.

tax reduction only can be done slowly year by year....

else bank/2nd car dealer all mati....

yess... for now we need to make sure they make the promise official first. right now the words just came from a person who have no influence to the president/de facto leader of his own party, let alone the whole pr. now the whole nation believe it as a pr promise already, another good public relation/marketing exercise from this party, just like some SA who give promise can deliver HE 1.8 in weeks time.

my personal view, if you cant do something efficiently, then let others do and you concentrate on something you are good at. no point wasting resources.

why you said so?

yup..any sudden drastic change will be detrimental to the economy..i'm confident that PR will do it..most of their election promises for Selangor they already did..but to expect drastic fall in car price is juz illogical..maybe in the first year we'll see a 5%-10% reduction in price..followed by another reduction the following year..well nothing's wrong to put hope i guess..better than no hope at all

Nicely said. I'll wait by the time if there is a new plan, and when it comes to full force, it will be time I will be looking for a new car.

To those tat recently purchase rugi liao? They hav to do something like rebate..lol..anyway it affects many parties..

it wont be drastic, but 5-10% will definitely help. Anyway, for those really not in need of a new car, it's best to just wait. Else just buy it now.

We all hope Malaysian can get a cheaper car...but bear in mind that the car that we r currently owned...they all will depreciate too...just imagine the car v own now depreciate at least 10k...so do v really hope that to happen? Wat will happen to the used car dealer? So I think there won't b a drastic drop of price no matter who take control of d government...mayb 1 to 2 k possible...but isn't v silly to wait for some unsure news for 1 to 2 k...I see some Sifu out there can easily get 2 to 3 k discount.

personally i don't mind my current car depreciating. heck, lets say i lose 50k on RV but all i need is to top up a lil on my next car.

Just arrived today. Those who tumpang me will be getting it soon

Here is a good analysis regarding the car price issue:

So good..my branch what color also don't have for 1.8...

clean blue looks nice too

Yes clean blue unique now coz I seldom see OTR. If keep waiting dunno how many more months. Especially with the worker strike going on. Ur SA treat u so good???

Thats a really good analysis, but as always we wouldnt know when the policy will take effect and whether it's possible at all as it will be based on PKR's performance on GE.

I know, every car buyers that bought cars this year wouldnt want this policy to be realized that fast, as it will be very heart-punching

As I say, looking at things boleh land do things, it will be 4 yrs until they can fully implemented the plan. Just nice time for me to change car
