Example ... Mini ... should it cost so much in Malaysia? Its not because of the Gov taxes only. BMW decided it should be a luxury item. There is more than meets the eye ok. I suspect the manufacturers are 'sharing' the lucrative income with the Gov. Sell higher price ... manufacturer makes more, Gov makes more.Look at the Honda CRZ ... its RM115K when the Insight is only RM98K. CRZ was supposed to be RM125K but they decided to sell at RM115K. Why think of RM125K? Greedy la. Look at the E90 325 ... 310K but then when wanna dump can drop to a mere RM250K. Wow ... no profits ar? Got a lot laaaaa ... the list goes on and on. Basically, we are being screwed by those we rely upon to be fair. Gov is taxing us ... manufacturer is taxing us.If we really feel that cars are too expensive, then just don't buy la. I mean we need to have priorities right? Since so expensive, drive something cheap and then can spend more on housing etc. When demand is low ... price will drop. But we still buy, then put up with the crappy quality and do really nothing about it. How la?</blockquote>
