[QUOTE="gregcwho, post: 459637, member: 9378"] Hi all, If you check out the prices of cars in UK you will realise that prices over there are WAAAAAAAAY cheaper than what you pay in Malaysia..so it will NEVER EVER make sense to ship your car from Malaysia to UK to use there even if you are bona fide transferred there to work. For example, way back in mid 90s Proton Wira export model (with more bells & whistles than local,better made,higher quality) was about RM85000 compared to local Wira 1.6 RM64000.Guess what was the price in UK?..About 6000 POUNDS Sterling..after conversion at max was RM42000. Go figure....:stupid: Looks like the local market was actually supporting Proton overseas market..:motz: Now compare that to a BMW CKD here & a BMW there..you get the drift...:thefinger: Most people went there to study or work would want to get a car there to bring back..not the other way round..:top: So it's definitely a SCAM...be forewarned!!
