Saya percaya kita semua sudah sedia maklum.. namun untuk pengetahuan & renungan kita semua.. berikut adalah perbandingan harga beberapa model kereta yg dijual di negara kita berbanding dgn harga di US dan juga negara jiran, Indonesia... (dalam bahasa Inggeris.. copy and paste)

BMW 535i sells for RM178,000 in the US
In the United States of America (a developed country which we are also aspiring to become by the year 2020) a 2009 model BMW 535i Sedan is selling for about USD50,367.00. This is only RM178,000 – about the price of a Toyota Camry 2.4L here in Malaysia . The same BMW sells in Malaysia for about RM450,000.

BMW 328i sells for RM155,000 in the US
The 2009 model BMW 328i 2 door Convertible sells for USD44,014 or
RM155,369.00 in the US . In Malaysia the same car sells for over
RM460,000. This is an untenable situation.

Audi A4 2.0T Cabriolet Convertible sells for RM142,000 in the US
The 2009 model Audi A4 2 Door 2.0T Cabriolet Convertible sells in the US for USD40,328.00 or RM142,357. In Malaysia the same car would sell for about RM265,000.

VW GTI 2.0T sells for RM85,000 in the US
In the US the 2009 model Volkswagen GTI 2.0T sells for USD 24,039 or RM85,000 only. In China the same car will cost around RM60,000. Over here the same VW car sells for about RM200,000.

2010 model Toyota Camry 2.4L sells in the US for USD 19,659.00 or RM69,396. In Malaysia the 2008 Toyota Camry 2.4L sells for
RM170,000. Toyota Camry 2.4L, 2010 model. RM69,000 in the US


Car prices in Malaysia are about three times higher than the prices in the United States. We are a developing nation. Our land and labour costs are so much cheaper than the US . Why are our cars so expensive? It does not make any sense. Tak masuk akal.

Then here are some car prices from our neighbour Indonesia . The Toyota Altis sells in Indonesia for about RM46,000. The same car sells here for around RM 112,000. Again we are three times more expensive than Indonesia .

The Honda Jazz sells here for RM108,000. In Indonesia the Jazz sells for RM 36,000. Three times more expensive.

We are paying ridiculously high prices (and actually impoverishing the Malays – who are the largest buyers of cars in Malaysia) to support an out of date, out of touch with reality motor car policy.

We are paying the highest car prices in the world to support the Proton and other locally made cars as well as support a mind boggling AP policy which only benefits a relatively few rich Malays. A disproportionately large number of Malays and other Malaysians are being impoverished to subsidise the wealth of a few inefficient rich.

26 million Malaysians have to pay three times more for their cars just to support Proton and 120,000 people who are directly and indirectly involved in the motor sector in Malaysia and the AP holders. That is a ratio of 216:1.

This ratio of 216:1 is too skewed. 26.0 million happier people can contribute many more votes than 120,000 members of an inefficient motor industry. 26 million unhappy people can change a Government. (The maths is not really difficult here)

And this outdated policy is impoverishing the Malays more than anyone else.

terpulang kepada kemahuan masing2. Kalau ada kemampuan bolehlah beli kereta besar kalau tidak belilah dengan yang sesuai dengan ketebalan poket hehehhe.

Betul tu bro & tak peningkan kepala kn..

tax dari Kastam dah berapa lipat?huhu

harga kereta kat Msia ni memang mantop mahalnye.wakaka..sedangkan kereta buatan sendiri (Msia) pun mahal juga, kejap2 naik harga pulak tu...hehehe :-) jadi susah jugak le nak cakap2 psl harga2 ni.

pasal harga kereta di tpt yg bebas cukai dgn tidak bbs cukai pun di Msia ni bezanya jauh jg, misalnya Toyota fortuner..bbs cukai thn lepas dlm 100K tapi di tpt bukan bbs cukai 160K. sya ada ambik sebiji innova 2.0G bbs cukai..68K jer bding ngan 105K di tempat yang bukan bbs cukai.

Jadi psl harga kereta ni beza antara msia dgn negara lain dan di msia sendiri (bbs ckai dan tidak) pun jauh bezanya.
