20080419: Cars in Malaysia are cheap!

Just spotted these UNREGISTERED CAR Ads in the S**R newspaper today: All currency in RM thousands
( US Approx Equivalent @ RM 3.20 )

Aston Martin VIZ?? (v12 I think) 6.0l, 6 speed, paddle shift - 2005 / 6: 1,400 (438) [012-268-6337 / 019-222 9886]

Bentley Flying Spur Twin Turbo, 552hp, Black / Beige - 2006: 1,550 (485) [012-268-6337 / 012-207 6229]

Ferrari 360 Modena V8, Red / beige leather interior - 2001: 999 (312) [012-297-5538 / 019-270-1513]

Lamborghini Gallardo 5.0l, V10, 500hp - 2005: 1,490 (466) [012-207-6229 / 019 270-1513]

Porsche C2S UK Spec dark blue / beige interior - 2005: 750 (234) [012-285-7205 / 019-320-7207]

TOTAL Cost = RM 6,189,000 (USD 1,934,000 / UK 986,103)

Noticed any similarities in the mobile phone numbers?
Sad thing is that if got money now, still can't get my Lancer GT with Paddle shifts!

Current UK prices for the above (NEW) are: (GBP '000) Exchange rate at: RM 6.27622 to the pound.

Aston Martin DB9 V12 5.9l: 114

Bentley Continental Flying Spur: 118

Ferrari 360 Modena 2001: (Out of production). Cheapest is now a 2 door 430 coupe at 139

Lamborghini Gallardo: 126 (Spyder at 136)

Porsche (997 or 911?) C2S: 132

TOTAL 629K pounds. The Unregistered ones above at 986k means the difference is 357k GBP!

SO, our Government makes LOADS of money from transportation!

Ian, if u want, just buy yr M.Lancer GT in Dubai, then I'll ship it back to u in 2 months time by a 40 footer container. What u need to do is, convert yr dring license to left handed drive & to "kau tiam" the port custom....haha~~!
