Buying car with full cash

Need some advise from seniors here.

I bought a new proton and i paid a small amount of deposit RM1k.

As a SG, i am buying it with full cash as we arent allow to get loan.

So the car has arrived and the proton guy told me to go to the bank and get the cashier's order (under company name) then pass to him. Which he will issue a receipt to me.

After which 2 working days later then i can get my car as they will process registration of the car to me.

I had an impression is you give full amount and you drive the car away on the day.

Please advise.

Singaporean must pay full cash for Malaysian car? Confirm correct? If like that I kiss bye bye to my dream car liao. And mine is just a small dream 小小的梦想. OK, a Hyundai Starex is not exactly small dream but compared to owning a comparable Singapore car, it is lah....

for a minute there i read "Buying a car full of cash"

if it's the authorized proton dealer (ie proper showroom, lots of people around etc - is it still "proton edar" ?) should be ok moreover you have the s&p doc and paper trail. malaysia really isn't THAT BAD or untrustworthy buying stuff, you know. why areon't you allowed to get loan?

70% is the normal rate, my friends and myself have taken up to 80%. The actual rate that one can get of course also depends on the individual and the banks approving the loan.

Being from SG doesn't mean that one can't get a bank loan so i am not sure why you couldn't. Congrats on the car purchase though.
They will need to get JPJ approval for the registration, etc so it typically may be 1-2 days depending on how fast they clear it.

Re: Kana Accident how ar?

Fully agree.

Wonder why that happens tho.

Just across the Causeway.

What a difference a border crossing makes.

Actually, when you think it over, we got killer rains in Sg, too. It is just that we happen to be indoors watching it rain through the windows.

Car trips in SG are very short and brief. Malaysia, 4-hour drives are commonplace. Can run into some really insane storms in those 4 hours and hundreds of kilometres.

Dear all,

Anyone know any good spray painting workshop to recommend ? May be getting a proton wira , tomorrow go and test drive the car coz Saturday went to see but never try. Reason price to steep after negotiation dealer willing to go down price but still exceed my budget. Interior n exterior condition good but the color of the car is red. Wanted to change to another not so striking color. Maybe matte army green color. any recommendation

Thank you in advance.

As you had already mentioned, the car dealer need to register the new car under your name hence the 2 working days requirement.
Usually, if you had given them the cashier order early morning, by the next morning, you can drive your new car away.
If personal cheque, they will wait till the cheque is cleared (usually about 3 days) then proceed with registration.

Hi Kopi Kong,
How did you export the SG car? Did you drive thru' the Tuas Checkpoint after getting the export document endorsed or Towed to Johor?

Hi Kopi Kong,

First you need an AP from Malaysia government.
Then only you can import into Malaysia.
Your AP must state the port as tanjung kupang which is 2nd link.
Then when you drive through, get Singapore custom to endorsed you are exporting the car when driving through 2nd link.
At the Malaysian side, you need the local freight agent to have all the import document for the custom and the inspection of engine and chassis number.
After that, you need to go for a vehicle roadworthy inspection at pustacom.
No tinted wind shields and windows are allowed.
I rent clear windscreen from a local workshop for the inspection and changed back after inspection.
After pass the inspection tgen only go for the registration of the car to Malaysia plate.
All these are handled by my Malaysian freight agent. Best you checked with them the rates for doing the above.

Re: Buying car with full cash

I have gotten my car last week.

Just want to share w u guys my exp.

First i paid a 500rm deposit instead of 10% as i am buying using cash.

The documents needed are ic, pp and driving lic.

*Please note if u have a MY bank acct, u can only dep or withdraw 10k RM daily over the counter. Unless u do it at the branch where u open ur acct.

Once car has arrived, i went to my PB and bought the Cashier's order. Once i pass to the dealer (which i worried he makan my money, however the dealer is Yong Ming which according to the bank's staff is one of the biggest NEW car dealer in Malaysia), the chq requires 3days to clear plus 1 day to register your car.

I bought Proton and it tooks two months for the car to come.
