QUOTE(okyjace @ Oct 19 2012, 01:08 PM) Test drove the Peugeot 508 yesterday which I learnt is also CKD, however, I came away feeling quite unimpressed by the experience. The lack of storage space makes the car less practical for me. Hardly any space for things like coins, spare glasses, Smarttag, etc. Although the car is priced quite keenly, it's such a waste to know that I'd be paying for useless heated seats and a built in GPS that cannot be enabled. Turbo lag was quite noticeable. So in the end what car you went for with the REP incentive? Did you find out what is the price they offered for Pug 508 with the incentive? |

QUOTE(okyjace @ Feb 5 2013, 11:58 PM) Sorry for the long silence and inactivity. I have been busy with buying a place to stay and renovation work, so I put the car purchase on hold. But happy to say that I've finally done the admin stuff with Talentcorp and am planning to pick a car very soon. In case anyone is interested, I have found out that there will be some taxes to pay when I sell the car. However, these taxes willl be based on its second hand value at the time. So the savings with the REP incentive is still significant, but not as great as it could be. It seems that the longer I keep the car, the greater the value of the REP incentive. The best price I have received so far is a myr10K discount on the 2.5L Camry, if I go with a 2012 make car. Hence for an upfront cost of myr115K, I'm sorely tempted. Will probably go check out the Passat again. There are rumours online of CKD versions of the Mazda6 and CX5 coming. Anyone here has a firmer idea of the timeline for this? CKD Mazda CX5 is set to launch middle of the year. Don't think Mazda 6 will be CKD but I think there will be a new version of Mazda 3 that will be CKD towards end of the year. You can check out this thread where some of us who applied for REP shared the details |

QUOTE(fllee520 @ Oct 7 2013, 06:28 PM) 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. 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? |

QUOTE(kinx @ Nov 13 2013, 04:52 PM) early of this year i checked Passat under REP program is 143K. currently, VW offer 15k+ offer on Passat. so i assumed 143-15 = 128K. under REP i got 2 units of car, one car title with "tak boleh tukar milik" the other one title without "writting". dont put too high hope for same discount for REP tho. Last time i asked other manufacturer they will just say REP not entitled to discount coz its for clear stock car |

QUOTE(kinx @ Nov 14 2013, 06:28 AM) for me, it should entitle. the reasons. REP just remove the Tax from government, is not the car manufacture price. so REP should entitle as well. those Passats on offer are mostly already have declared tax so they are not available for REP. There might be a possibility tho for the discounts to be applied provided they willing to offer you such deal and they have existing car that has not been cleared of the excise duty and tax. I asked last year when they have some discounts for 2012 models they just shove me off by saying that those car are 2012 cars and has already have the tax and excise duty declared, hence not eligible for REP and I would have to wait for 2013 car without such offer. |
