You know what, I'm thinking of the same too. The 86 is much more cheaper in OZ about RM 110k. I prefer to go with the second option, just buy the used 86 which I believe will get even cheaper on the tax as well as the car itself when you want to import it to Mlaysia.

Did a rough calculation... brand new (1 year/9months) it'll save you 50-60k.... 2 to 3 years it may safe you over 100k... compared to the 250k in Mal.

if you buy a 2nd hand it may be at around 100k (in all, tax and cost) when you want to buy/import 3 years later

Where do you want to import from?

^ The country where you stay longer than 1 year... Australia/NZ/Japan/Euro

Hi BeastX. Would you be able to calculate the total tax needed to pay for my car.

BMW 520D M Sport
1995 cc
Year 2007

FYI, Im planning to shipped the car from UK in August 2012 and I would have worked in UK for 2 years by this july 2012.

Really appreciate your help

send kastam an e-mail.... they will calculate for you

Hi, i'm current study master in australia. i heard ppl said master degree holder can get extra discount from taxes, is it true?

False and a myth..... though If you get a doctorate and work for 2 years in the related/needed field you can purchase 2 cars in Malaysia tax free, insentive for returning professional.

guys I want to buy china made brand new yamaha scooter. is it possible?

Totally agree with you

How's the current AP works? If I want to sell my AP, what I should do?I am in the UK at the moment. Thanks

There's Never an easy way out of getting dream cars oversea...


Last time i thought of it before... i was worried that if i bought a car oversea.... later not enough money to import back or problems importing back or even after importing back gonna cost whole lot than expected...


I thought of importing back a brand new perdana in UK .... the price seems cheaper getting a national car oversea ... but scare later import back... plus tax and all that shit.... becomes more expensive than buying it on Malaysia

Nice question. Looking forward to it.

Err.. Is it possible if we knew a car dealer that import car from overseas and let the dealer bring it in for us? Also, 3rd image/table posted is not available any longer..

^ you're essentially taxed twice..... or everytime the car is transfered officially through the border...

it's the 2nd image/table not available..... however all 3 in the first post are obsolete

guys need some advice.

how is like to import a japanese used car? i was thinking, rather than importing a nose cut of just say a Volvo 850-R Wagon...thinking what is the cost to import a used whole car...?

anyone have contact with the AP holders or half cut shop who do this?

Volvo 850-R Wagon

cheers,

I am gonna get the PR in malaysia soon (foreigner). With the PR im allowed to bring 1 Personal Car from my home country without Tax. After 2-3 Years i can sell it. I already know what car im gonna bring to malaysia. LOL

Hi, I have a question
I know that I have to stay up to 1 year and own the car for at least 9 months before I can ship the car back to Malaysia with student AP
However, I heard my friend said AP policy only allows car that up to 7 years old to import back to Malaysia, while my car is 8 years old when I bought it. Does that mean I can't ship it back to Malaysia ?

Please advise.. Thanks

as long as i know should be no problem importing old car using student Approved Permit.. You check with MITI then share in the forum will benefit for all..

Commercial AP is limited to 5 years.... I believe there's no set limit for personal AP... again contact MITI for the (new) set rules

Just got their reply.. they said there is no problem to import a 8 years old car with student AP.
