Mercedes-Benz Malaysia (MBM) has updated the prices of its Mercedes-Benz and Mercedes-AMG models that are currently on sale, in line with the implementation of the sales and service tax (SST) on September 1. The 10% sales tax takes over from the 6% goods and services tax (GST), which was first zero-rated in June and subsequently abolished.
The revision sees a price hike for a number of models, from as low as RM1,000 for the GLC 200 to RM33,000 for the AMG E 63 S 4Matic+. In all, 19 models see a price increase as a result of SST being brought into play.
There are price reductions for some models, six in total. The AMG GLC 43 4Matic is now RM3,000 cheaper than when GST was in place, and the locally-assembled W213 E-Class range – consisting of the E 200 Avantgarde, E 250 Avantgarde and E 250 Exclusive Line – have also seen a price drop, though in the case of the two E 250 variants, one has seen a bigger reduction than the other.
At launch, the E 250 Exclusive was more expensive than the E 250 Avantgarde, but it received a RM5,000 price drop in May as a result of a change in specification, bringing it to the same price point as the Avantgarde with zero-rated GST. With SST in place, the Avantgarde is now RM8,000 cheaper.
A number of new models were introduced during the tax-free holiday period, including the Maybach S 560, AMG S 63 Coupe, S 560 Cabriolet, CLS 450, AMG GT C and E 300 AMG Line, and so there’s no previous GST-based price to compare them with. The CLA 200 and GLA 200 Night Edition variants are also new introductions.
Elsewhere, the company said pricing of both E 300 AMG Line and S 450 L AMG Line models will be released separately, and the W205 C-Class and its AMG variants isn’t in this SST price list because there are no more units of the pre-facelift, and the facelift is only due here sometime in Q4. Likewise the A-Class, with W176 stocks all currently sold out – the all-new W177 A-Class is coming, and is now slated to make its local debut ahead of the C-Class’ arrival.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
How about C63s and AMG C-Class??
Price up inevitable since dealer C&C sold more cars but losing money… Premium aint cheap.
Something is seriously wrong with that tablem
How about C63s and C-Class??
Say farewell to the evergreen C-Class.
The spreadsheet is confusing…on the column of “Price difference in Percentage (SST vs GST), increase and decrease both comes with the same Font Color +_+ One would really need to read the + and – to really know the differences hahahaha
Eh? They stop C-Class?
CKD packs for pre face-lift W205 already finished. Waiting for face-lift W205 for now. So yes, it is very weird that you cannot buy the C Class for now. 3 Series might get extra orders due to 1 less competition.
Rather MBM provide 5yr free service.
Where’s that joker now that said prices were coming down with SST?
Kind of understand your sentiment, when is comes to our local M.Benz dealer. If you have check around, would notice that most cars price have come down when compared between gst n sst. Including BMW. That’s why after a long history of Mercedes ownership from father to sons, we have all switch to Bmw(a couple of years ago) . Deal to many factors: price value, warranty package, after sale service and maintenance cost, (not looking at resale value), vs it’s closest rival here locally….. sorry Benz, you’re out of the garage. You’re losing in both value in money spend and cost of ownership. P/s still have the s400 hybrid around, but most of the time, no one drives it. Old man love his 740 hybrid.
BMW MY fantastic value with pre-reg car deals.
740 hybrid is a fantastic car indeed.
No GLC for me. Will wait for XC40. I know I know…different segment. But I already have an A class. No point getting a GLA right?
