Jwee85 5th Gear October 9, 2017 Share October 9, 2017 Just thinking out loud. Malaysia is assembling many local BMW/Mercs. Not sure is the selling pricing 'cheap' or not, but sure can have special arrangement right? Also the shipping cost will likely be low, compared to shipping it from Japan/UK. Possible to get cheap PI cars from Malaysia? Why not? ↡ Advertisement 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wt_know Supersonic October 9, 2017 Share October 9, 2017 sounds logically right if it’s viable and profitable local PI could have done many years already there must be a reason why they dont do it if can ... can get the car from JB and just shipped across the causeway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sopskysalat 4th Gear October 9, 2017 Share October 9, 2017 bro, shipping doesnt cost much. one car from uk is just 1k or slightly more. assembled car is malaysia is due to CBU policy and i think LTA states certain import countries only. All cars from country of origin are "cheap" but it is our tax system that is costly. Get the 520 at 170-180k instead of PML 200+ but PML has a lot of overtrade and discount. So compare the best price. The opinion of why i prefer (if i choose) to import is I want full spec, no frill package which only importing it will provide access to such option. I reckon the OMV is higher too. Warranty can be purchased from Liberty or OW at low cost. Just thinking out loud. Malaysia is assembling many local BMW/Mercs.

Wt_know Supersonic October 9, 2017 Share October 9, 2017 (edited) did i hear buy OW warranty at low cost? low cost is low cost for a reason ... muahahaha seriously, if buy entry or mass market model like 520/528, C180/200, E200, etc - just get from AD ... the savings really does not correlate wtih the risks and warranty and the resell price PI is only gooe for high specs that AD dont bring in or very limited units with chop Robert pricing for high specs and customised specs Edited October 9, 2017 by Wt_know 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
inlinesix Supersonic October 9, 2017 Share October 9, 2017 Singaporean only like BMW/Merc from Germany. I had compared E39 from Dingolfing vs Malaysia SKD. There are differences in equipment and finishing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahbengdriver 6th Gear October 9, 2017 Share October 9, 2017 Only high end model cars are worth the difference in price n hassle. An E92 M3 years back retails for 360k at Performance Motors. PI could bring it in at around 295k. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heman75 Supercharged October 9, 2017 Share October 9, 2017 what about this? PI is a good buy? PA - $240K PI - $201K (S line) you cant use SG carmart price to compare. PA may have some over trade (discount) and some extended warranty. typically PI very standard warranty and no over trade. so the difference wont be that great maybe within 20k. so ppl will still go for PA for assurance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come sg just drive as if petrol car. till you are royally screwed by LTA, if one day they decide that cars with huge lithium batteries must be inspected for road safety by the local authorized workshop. similar to what happened to CNG cars. for Mercedes CNG they can only go back to C&C.

Local merc forum people got it done at vicom. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
