The new ruling was announced end of last year by MITI. But I can't find it again today. Should've saved the pdf file.
I remember it said that car can't be older than 5 years and cannot change name in 3 years. Used to be 2 years.

I was planning to buy car and import it using student AP this year and suddenly my agent told me this also.

Anybody know much to buy an AP from the AP king if we want to import a car and who's selling them?

B.T.W. for personal AP application you do not really need an agent....

What I mean by agent is that a person/company that handles the shipment because I'm planning to buy an AP from the overseas student.
I already sold my student AP long time ago and won't qualify anymore.

I've just check the MITI new guideline and it says that the car needs to be no less than 5 years old even for personal AP

Something new then.....this makes it equal to the commercial AP holders...

Essentially removing one of the most important advantage of personal AP....much more cost savings for cars over 5 years old...

Yup! I was thinking of bringing an older Euro Civic when I am going back. No such luck then.

i once emailed a japan importer in malaysia asking what's the price in total to import a mazda autozam AZ1 which is essentially a K-car like kancil or honda beat and guess what they quoted me? rm160k yeah....

So, how much I need to pay to import a Holden Commodore SS VF from Australia? Just asking.

Anyone have an AP for sell? Looking for an import from Japan.

Say I am buying a brand new car that's not sold in Malaysia, buying it thru the overseas dealer. Does it fall under AP?

Bringing in any vehicle into Malaysia needs AP (Approved Permit)...

Dun matter whether is own-self own, or brand new from dealers?

That's what's implied with "Any".... until the new gov changes the terms or do away with AP all together...

Personal AP: Free, Commercial AP:~RM10k or more...

So sad..... Looks like my dream of buying n importing old JDM from Japan isn't going to happen anymore.

Is there any online calculator for importing car from japan?

Toyota mark x cost around 150k for year 2016 . I know all the tax is a lot .. most likely 90k sold at Japan then the difference is earn by gov and car dealer ... can I buy myself without paying so much tax like what you guys say the AP stuff ? If possible please elaborate thanks sifusssss

Hi,
Can anybody tell, what is the target market for Electric vehicles in Malaysia? means who can buy this vehicle

Anyone who can afford and is interested in EVs.

Hi guys, i know miti now only allow cars less than 5 yrs old to be imported back to Malaysia, but is it possible just to bring back older car even tho we dont intend to use it on the road? Does it fall under AP or just car parts (i need to dismantle the car before bring it here?)

Ive got a honda oddysey rb1 here in NZ which is in really good cond. Bought it really cheap here. Wanted to bring it back after finish study and use it as a donor car as i am thinking of buying a similar model in msia when im back. You guys know lah our used car dealer most of the time will cheat the actual cond of the car they sell. Thought of getting the cheapest i can get in msia, and change all parts with the donor car.

Anyway, it such letdown that miti now limit the AP to 5yrs old and less car.. Most cars (at least here in NZ) is still in good cond even tho more than 10yrs old. They got WoF (warrant of fitness) check every year here, 20x better than puspakom checks. Malaysia used car mmg hopeless la.. Too much scam.
