As a Malaysian you can't get into mm2h but he is under REP. Returning Expert Programme is an incentive for Malaysians working abroad to come back and work in Malaysia.

I read that some models of Kia/Hyundai/Peugeot were suggested to TS. I just want to share that the tax saving discounts (actually it's only sales tax and excise duties) for these few models under the REP purchase are very minimal. It may make you wonder for that RM10k-15k discount, does it worth the hassle to restrict your choice to CKD models only. At times the year end promotion discount for some CBU models could be as high as the tax savings, and not forget the various approval processes that u need to go through for the REP purchase.

aiyo unfair lo, like that i am none either category

Not sure if you still can get 2012 passat? They have huge discounts I heard. About RM15 k

saw newspaper jetta 2013 starts from rm149k... like more expensive leh? how come?

actually i am curious, vw jetta .. the backseat is less spacious than honda civic 2013 right? i think so but i forgot about this when i tested drive.

Yes no complain about Passat because its a well oiled German machine. It beats Camry hands down.

Thats until you get into an accident (touch wood), your car parts and bumpers will take 3 weeks to arrive. Till then, you have to borrow your mechanic's 18 year old Saga for use.

Downside on VW, spare parts expensive and hard to get.

VW Passat is 170k OTR without insurance

Nevermind mah, as long as got Gaya is enough

Ok nak gaya tapi nanti jangan merangut tentang bil servis kereta.

Only have to worry about its DSG Gearbox and annoying rattle/tickling sound on the cabin

that's why i am not going for VW hehe, but it's over budget for me too.

nope. that's the original price.

some engineers driving vw alwayd keep saying, make surehave a tow truck in standby if wanna drive vw

Presently whatever problem they got with the DSG has been rectified.

As I said, spare parts are major problem for VW.

Touch wood, if your car accident, you would need to wait for weeks before the car body parts come. Even Singapore don't have the parts.

Maybe wait for 2 or 3 years for supply chain of VW to improve, then should consider to buy VW.

Hi Guy,

I thinking to get a passat for my family. Currently I have 2 option. 1. Is 2013 brand new passat. 2. Is 2012 pre-reg passat. Any different between this 2 about( I mean feature and outlook). Price is around 20k different.

Thanks.

Take the new one, my mum got her passat in late 2012, also got near 20k discount that time... They should offer u more if they wanna sell the 2012 versiom

Thanks bro. Meaning that car for 2012 and 2013 have the exactly same feature and design? Thx

Totally the same

its already near end 2013. you hsould be able to squeeze for at least 30-40k discount for pre-reg if taken into account the depreciation value is 20k per annum?

DSG issue has been rectified? i read a lot article and comment from forum and google. there are plenty of bad feedback for this even now. since i not yet a Volkswagen owner but maybe soon. i still a bit worry passat still the right choice for me?
