I am here to do my national service even I can be paid more aboard. I just feel for the lowly paid Malaysians like tukang kaya having to pay through his nose for a peoples car like a VW or get killed in a JUARA KAMPUNG in an survivable accident caused by lack of ESP!

August 16, 2012

FMT LETTER: From Michael Kwai, via e-mail

The recent car prices issue made me curious. Having been totally unaware of such huge discrepancies between Malaysian and world prices, I surfed the Internet to see what real world car prices were. I was shocked.

These are US car prices with US duty and import tax paid, which are just like Malaysian car prices with duty and tax also paid, but here, you will see, they are much lower and less exorbitant than in Malaysia.

Bear in mind all cars are CBU (complete built up) Japan, CBU South Korea or CBU Germany.

The following cars we get here are CKD (complete knocked down) cars with more than 50% Malaysian content and “supposedly” are cheaper due to their being CKD and supporting Malaysian manufacturers.

I cannot understand, we support our own Malaysian manufacturers and beli barang buatan (buy local) Malaysia too, and yet the prices can be higher than barang buatan (made in) Japan or German, which is usually higher in quality.

And yet, to make matters worse, US people’s GDP per capita is higher than Malaysia’s and the average American earns five times more than the average Malaysian.

Mainstream car prices

Honda Accord 2.4
US$21,480 (RM64,440) RM175,000

Honda CRV
US$22,495 (RM67,485) RM150,000

Honda Civic
US$15,955 (RM47,865) RM115,000

Toyota Altis
US$16,130 (RM48,390) RM112,000

Toyota Camry
US$22,055 (RM66,165) RM180,000

Kia Sorento
US$23,150 (RM69,450) RM160,000

Hyundai Tucson
US$19,245 (RM57,735) RM140,000

Hyundai Sonata
US$20,895 (RM62,685) RM150,000

Hyundai Elantra 1.8
US$16,695 (RM50,085) RM118,000

Luxury car prices

BMW 328i
US$36,500 (RM109,500) RM300,000

BMW 528i
US$46,900 (RM149,000) RM400,000

BMW 535i
US$52,500 (RM157,000) RM600,000

BMW X5
US$47,500 (RM142,500) RM580,000

Mercedes E350
US$51,000 (RM153,000) RM400,000 (In M’sia for only CKD E250)

Jaguar XF
US$53,000 (RM159,000) RM500,000

Jaguar XJ
US$73,700 (RM221,000) RM1,000,000

Porsche Cayenne
US$48,850 (RM146,000) RM570,000

Every Malaysian must realise they are being cheated on car prices and have been cheated for the past 30 years.

Most Malaysians pay close to 50% of their salary for their monthly payments for their cars.

Not only do the banks get an easy ride (cause everybody is “forced” to take loans), we have to live in debt for over seven years, depriving our family of better food and clothes.

But petrol is much cheaper here with Government subsidy. Over the life of ownership, I believe the total cost of ownership is the same.
