To be honest, 1,500 from a 50,000 isn't a lot. I've seen bigger discounts than that. Top Gear also once had a segment where they told you where to look for bargains and they had lots of cars with 1000, 2000 pounds slashed off the list price. Relative to car prices there, that is a lot.

1,500 is a small amount, and especially pointless if you take a loan. It they slashed 5,000 of the price, then I would have been impressed. Apparently Najib thinks the same as I do.

silverfish, i wish our malaysian market is fully open like UK. from my knowledge, franchise only brings in cars and appoint dealers to sell the products sumthing like 90% of total showrooms. even Proton UK is practising the same. many dealers in UK are family run business too.

advantages to open market
1. prices are not governed by any bodies/authorities.
2. dealers compete each other by giving superb sales service like low discounts, low interest rates, high trade in value, high discounts of RRP.
3. dealers also will slash huge amount of car price when new model is coming for example 1 or 2 mnths before new civic is on sale. this is done to clear stock. same practise also when ever UK reach august - that is when new registration number for the year starts.

for example D for 87,E for 88, F for 89 and so on and so forth. the registration plate number is standised throughout UK unlike malaysia where we go according to states and change new affix every 9,999 cycle.

si|verfish, agree with you, but better then nothing.
where can i have read the detail NAP? or some sample calculation formula for 1 or 2 car type, price of some model goes up and other goes down. I wanna know the different that causing it. Thanks.

Dude, you can go over to Paultan.org. He has a table and some examples of how the price of the Swift would be affected. It's late and I can't be bothered to look for the link, sorry.

oppss... miss that out... :_: :_:

if vehicle price were going to go up just like petrol issue, i tink malaysian are getting very piss out...

CBUs of larger capacities too will be affected (up) i guess. need to see link on base price.

But in malaysia, wat goes up remain high even if some reduction in car prices, some form of tax /higher fuel prices would take it away!!. I'll bet insurance premiums will go up some time later.

We'll still be slave for cars.

well for me i got no issues about price goes up or price go down it is stll the same thing.. dont belive try this out.. goverment decrease price of the car and bank increase thier interest rates.. it will be the same thing at the end..

just remember.. government is smarter than us.. dont please think there might be something fishy going on here..

i experience it before for example road tax decrease.. yup its true that road tax has decreased but unfortunately the price for the insurance has gone up.. so it is just the same thing..

maybe who knows that fuel price is up.. government has alot of money.. then car price goes down.. government losses money and what next to increase government's money? toll i guess.. just wait and see what is up next.. but to me it is a good move by our government to decrease the price so that proton can compete with all the international standard car manufacturer..

peace out..

its sad isnt it....when price go up, everyone also will push the price up but when price goes down, they will selambaly pretend dunno or just take little action...

i felt perodua's move to ONLY reduce rm1k to rm2k is so little....

some article i quote from newspaper today..

Volvo Car Malaysia Sdn Bhd announced price reductions of up to RM20,000, depending on the models.

DaimlerChrysler Malaysia, meanwhile, has announced price reductions of 6.5 per cent to 10 per cent for all its completely knocked-down (CKD) models, with immediate effect.

The CKD Mercedes-Benz C180K model previously retailed at RM255,800 but with the savings on duty, customers can expect to purchase the luxury make for RM233,888," the company said in a statement.

The model with the biggest price reduction was the Mercedes-Benz E240K, which now retails at RM388,000, down from RM428,000.

It is learnt that UMW Toyota has slashed prices between RM3,000 and RM19,000, depending on the car models.

The Toyota Camry will see the biggest price cut of 11 per cent (RM19,000) while the Toyota Vios will be cheaper by RM3,000.

Proton Holdings has announced a price reduction of between 2.5% and 7% for its cars, while Perodua has slashed prices by 4% for some of its models.
