Is there any big difference between the quality of CBU vs CKD? Like C Class now CKD assembled in Malaysia cheaper, i believe some non-essential parts they also use Malaysia parts, so is there big difference in terms of quality & bult?

I believe CBU is made in South Africa, also will CKD last better in terms of small parts like rubber hose/rubber seals etc compared to CBU?

Any previous Mercedes owner know the difference between CBU & CKD of same models after using it for few years?

Cbu gt strict qc, ckd cincai buat saja... malaysia u know

Premium +-20%, CBU for peace of mind

Ppl rather pay the Extra 40K for CBU status

CBU = Quality control, like FrancescoTop8 said, peace of mind
CKD = Quality 5/10, U can modify jadi ricer, cheaper than CBU

have u all ever been to the mercedes manufacturing plant in pekan?

not abt .... is worker attitude and behaviour ...

I heard qc there quite ok..better than most of ckd plants in malaysia

i've been there, and i can say this, every ckd mercedes car built there are hand weld, all of the component were assembled by hand not a single robot are use except during painting, where they dip the car in paint tank, not spray gun paint, and every car must pass a very strict qc, and if even there is single flaw the car will be allowed to be sold to customer.

Thats is fantastic...i only know better than bmw...any youtube video to show

you mean the car body is 100% painted inside out?

what about Japanese cars? are they painted underneath?

lol come to msia dont have to uphhold their reputation right

So bad?

Ckd already localised to suit malaysia climate

Cbu later leaking here and there engine tak tahan malaysia weather

So many smartass here think they know better

Personally, I don't find any difference from naked eye and driving experience

I think we need to take a visit to Pekan plant then you are allow to comment on the quality

lol, everything also must talk shit about malaysia, even mercedes quality
