Okay not sure how it works but my SG friend selling 64 triumph spitfire and I am very keen on buying it, is there any way of me keeping it in Malaysia?

Car is cheapo here with cheapo petrol and cheapo insurance ..anyway i calculate roughly the cost would be slighty cheaper ima bring it back regardless of the cost ..

Hi, just asking since my sis will be going oversea to study, planing to get 1 Honda S2000 back to Malaysia...will the price cheaper compare to the selling price in Malaysia currently around Rm145k (AP1 2nd hand unit).

Thank you

Just forget it unless you want to break the car apart and sell as sparepart. Else, you will live your whole life worrying if the enforcement is going to raid/take it away from you. Even if the car is parked somewhere, THEY STILL CAN CONFISCATE THE CAR FROM YOU. Buying a scrapped car from SG means you are AVOIDING (NOT PAYING) TAX - and CUSTOMS has the authority to take it away from you.

How to pay tax? No way for SG scrapped cars. If there is a way, SG Scrapped cars had been legal in Malaysia


Which country your sis is going to? To me, if you want to use the car for yourself, go for it. It tends to be cheaper BUT you need to have lots of cash (1. buy the car, 2. buy insurance, 3. ship the car, 4. pay the import tax LUMP SUM). But if you want to sell it, you have to know personal AP means you cannot change the title and have to wait 2 years AFTER you register the car in Malaysia. Then you have to know that those cars might be older than 10 years old, means it will be hard for banks to give out loans for cars that old. So you need to find cash buyer.

My sis will be going UK. Just that I am wondering can the car ship back halfway when she doing her studies? Just after 9 months after she own the car. Any advise or guidance?

Nope .... to qualify for the AP... you'll have to show evidence that you had/are returning to Malaysia...

OMG...then have to wait for 5 year but she was sponsor by Bank Negara and have contract which must back to Malaysia after her study done. wonder can get it earlier or not

Hi, I'm a student currently studying in Australia planning to bring back a new (used for over 1 year) Ford Mustang 2.3 EcoBoost to Malaysia. Any idea about the tax calculations? Any information would help. Thanks!

Hey Aiman, I'm planning to bring back one myself too. Mind sharing if you get any info out of taxes and shipping ?

Heard that latest rules from MITI only allow student ap to import car age LESS than 5 years old , effective from Jan 2017.

Yes that is right. I just checked their new pekeliling. It looks like things getting easier than before, however we do not know about the tax later on whether it will be the same or increasing. Perhaps it would be a good idea to ask them for tax quotation before shipping.

Then my plan to bring a 10years old bike wont happen 😭

Hello bro Im first timer here but I read some of the previous page.

Do you know if the tax for sbk is high like cars?
Its harder to find discussion regarding superbikes here.
Btw I was thinking of getting Honda CBR600RR to MAS from AUS. Dont know if its worth it.

For tax you need to email Customs for tax calculation (estimation)
I've personally brought in 3 superbikes from USA, and all of them was taxed for less than rm10k each,depends on the age of the bike. All bikes i brought in was more than 5 years old.

My advice, get the highest capacity bike u can get.. better get the CBR1000RR, it's more worth it

no need to store the car for minimum 9 months but wont be able to import some classic jdm cars

Already did and they said they will further the email to Putrajaya?
never considered 1000 man seems too overkill for me but i might look at that one.
CBR600 and CBR1000 here in aus is around 6-8k aud, how does that sound to you from your previous experience buying superbikes from USA.
You reckon is that expensive compared to what you bought before?1aud = around rm3

Yeah customs putrajaya will do the calculation.. so for now can just wait..

I brought in 2004 R1 last time, bought for usd4.5k (that time 1usd=3.2myr)
Total up including taxes, shipment,insurance and all is still RM15k cheaper than what people sell 2nd hand here.. and for 1000cc it does have more demand than 600cc

What year the cbr1000rr? Need to survey local 2nd hand price and then u can compare to know whether is it worth it or not.. and sincd u cant sell it within 3 years time, u need to consider the depreciation value for 3 years too

Yeah the price would probably round up to be almost the same as yours(cheaper by a margin of rm10-15k)

the links for CBR
http://www.bikesales.com.au/bikes/?Year_Mi...D%29&Sort=Price

pretty much year 2007-2008 from 6k-8kaud.
It is so freaking tempting lol, but then again I heard you cant bring in more than 5 years then gg lo too expensive

Wow aussie really do ride their bike.. all high mileage... 100,000km even!

Yeahh now max 5 years only..dang.. limited choices..bike price is higher and for sure tax is higher too.. but mine last time no GST yet.. so might be diff calculation..
If u get the figure later do share ya..

Sure thing bro
