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
