Ain't refering to your statement bro.. Sorryno no bro...he got a good bargain for a 2nd hand car...and due to the "market" price of the car...even if its 15 years old...he still can sell at 58k...he didnt get any AP etc.
New cars expensive because of the tax and ofcourse the protectionism policies to protect the local industry, that is somewhat.. understandable. However, secondhand cars expensive because owner perasan car got prestige and rarity and whatnot.Why new and used car are expensive? They say it all started by Dr.M.
Well said my friend. hahah, although later people cakap lupa tanah airCheap car prices in Malaysia, or in South East Asia for that matter is still just a dream! The only way to enjoy cheap cars is just to migrate to other countries like Australia, Japan, Europe, or North America.
Yup bro...but those countries although offers cheap cars but it's not entirely true..for example, l've read in Majalah Kereta (TAS 2011 edition)in Japan, they said buying the car is not the prob, but the owning is very expensive...a full completion of driving licence could fetch equivalent to RM3000, parking fee is bout RM500-1000/mth..for the maintenance, the labour fee are more expensive than the cost of buying parts itself and the list goes on and on and on....but, u know la Japan, the salaries are already high, monthly earnings for normal workers easily can bring home 5 figures but the cost of living are keep chasing for their monies...Cheap car prices in Malaysia, or in South East Asia for that matter is still just a dream!

Rarity? What do you consider rare? Depends if you're saying if the car is rare, or its just rare in Malaysia. A Holden Monaro is probably rare in Malaysia, but its by no means a rare car. There are no real rare cars in Malaysia maybe with the exception of the collections belonging to our venerable Sultans.Bro. Willing seller, willing buyer.. it all depends on the general market.
Rarity plays an important part in not only used cars, but everything else as well. This issue is not new at all and to ask such question will open a whole can of worms.
