I will be going to UK for a year. From the depreciation table, a >5-year-old and <1.8L car seems to be the most worthwhile to bring back. These are my preferred make for ease of maintenance/service availability back in Malaysia. I am not an avid car fan so would like your opinion. Which make is the most recommended value-for-money?

Mercedes B/C class
Ford Fiesta/Focus
Honda Insight (taking advantage of the hybrid tax free)


Thanks.

This is from the MITI website:

Malaysian citizens who are eligible to apply:
Malaysian citizens studying (have at least obtained a Diploma) or working full time in a company/posted overseas for at least 1 year (except from Singapore, Brunei and Thailand);
Government officials studying (except from Singapore, Brunei and Thailand) or working overseas;
accompanying spouse of Malaysian citizen studying or working full time in a company/posted overseas for at least 1 year (except from Singapore, Brunei and Thailand); and
spouse or children of Government officials and staff of home-based offices working at Malaysian Representatives office overseas.


Spouse can apply AP? It is not very clear -- does it refer to the spouse or the Malaysian citizen who is studying/working overseas?

I think some of the senior forummers here have gotten fed up with people taking them for granted when it comes to calculating tax. If you read through the thread, you will be able to derive the tax yourself. Otherwise, send an enquiry to Kastam -- use their website and you will get your answer from the horse's mouth. There is also a website that has an embedded tax calculator but you still need to get some info to fill in the blanks.

Good luck!

Does anyone know of a Chrysler workshop or service centre? Thinking of bringing one back but if nobody to repair/service, susah lor!

Roughly same price you paid for..

It will be about 21k GBP.

Approximately another £35000
